Combining convenience with sustainability benefits

Ampol Food, a leading innovator in the food and beverage manufacturing industry, has opted for SIG’s on-the-go carton bottle, SIG DomeMini, for the launch of its V-FIT premium rice-based nutritional drink range. This launch marks SIG DomeMini’s market entry in Thailand – combining on‑the‑go convenience of a plastic bottle with the sustainability benefits of a carton pack.

The launch aligns with Thai consumers’ increasing demand for sustainable packaging when making purchase decisions. The main material of the SIG DomeMini carton bottle, designed for recycling, is FSC^™-certified paperboard. It is manufactured using 100 % renewable electricity and has a lightweight and space-saving design. With the high share of forest-based renewable material as well as a sophisticated resource-efficient and space-saving design, SIG DomeMini comes with a number of environmental benefits compared to alternative packaging options like single-use plastic bottles.

By packaging its V FIT premium rice drinks in SIG DomeMini, Ampol Food delivers a sleek, distinctive, and ergonomic carton pack with a large, centrally positioned cap, that allows consumers to drink as from a bottle and that is easy to open and reclose – a perfect fit for busy, health conscious consumers.

The SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling machine is capable of aseptically filling 12,000 packages per hour – in a total of seven volume sizes from 180 to 350 ml on one and the same filling machine with volume change in just 15 minutes. This maximises efficiency and flexibility, providing an excellent return on investment for beverage manufacturers.
