‘Less plastic – more carton’: SIG launches unique on-the-go carton bottle SIG DomeMini

9 October 2023

SIG is excited to introduce the SIG DomeMini, a truly distinctive on-the-go carton bottle that merges the convenience of a plastic bottle with the sustainability advantages of a carton pack.

Designed to capture attention and prompt consumers to reconsider their packaging choices, especially in terms of sustainability, SIG DomeMini presents an opportunity for beverage manufacturers to contribute significantly less plastic to the market while aligning with the growing trend of "paperization."

Christoph Wegener, CMO at SIG, emphasizes, "The demand for on-the-go beverages is continuously on the rise and holds immense potential. By combining convenience with sustainability, SIG DomeMini paves the way for a fresh drinking experience. Consumers can now savor their favorite beverages while on the move, all the while actively participating in reducing plastic waste."

Engineered with recycling in mind, SIG DomeMini primarily utilizes FSC™-certified paperboard and is produced using 100% renewable electricity. Thanks to its substantial reliance on forest-based renewable materials and a resource-efficient, space-saving design, SIG DomeMini offers a host of environmental benefits compared to alternative packaging, such as plastic bottles.

SIG DomeMini boasts ergonomic advantages that cater to various consumer groups, including travelers and commuters. Its centrally positioned SIG DomeMiniCap enables an experience akin to drinking from a bottle, with easy opening and reclosing ensuring safe storage in bags, ready for consumption whenever needed.

The SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling machine exhibits impressive capabilities, aseptically filling 12,000 packages per hour. This versatile machine accommodates seven volume sizes ranging from 180 to 350 ml, all on a single unit with volume adjustments taking a mere 15 minutes. This efficiency and flexibility promise a compelling return on investment for beverage manufacturers.

The initial launch of the compact SIG DomeMini carton bottle takes place in China, with plans for expansion to additional countries in the pipeline.

Christoph Wegener further adds, "Our new SIG DomeMini on-the-go premium pack seamlessly complements our already successful family-size SIG Dome aseptic carton bottle. We can now provide food & beverage companies with a bottle-shaped carton product line for both on-the-go and at-home occasions, delivering uncompromised convenience and exceptional sustainability performance. The distinctive design of the SIG Dome family also makes it stand out on the shelf, setting it apart from other packaging options."
