This serves as Replacement for the conventional plastic shrink packaging of 1.5 litre multipacks of carbonated soft drinks, which are from Coca-Cola HBC in Austria, and holds them reliably in place. The Hug-IT solution holds six bottles firmly together during transport and is made from Mondi's Advantage SpringPack Plus, which has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the strongest paper in the world.
The Hug IT sleeve has a high tensile strength and elasticity, which means that the six bottles The band will securely hold the 1.5 litre PET multipacks together in an upright position during transport - from the factory to the retailer to the consumer. The banderole will secure the 1.5 litre PET multipacks of the Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and Mezzo Mix brands and will be sold in retail outlets throughout Austria.
