Ampol Food, a prominent innovator in the food and beverage manufacturing industry, has embraced SIG’s on-the-go carton bottle, SIG DomeMini, for launching its V-FIT premium rice-based nutritional drink range. This initiative marks the introduction of SIG DomeMini in the Thai market, seamlessly combining the convenience of a plastic bottle with the sustainability advantages of a carton pack.
This launch responds to the rising demand among Thai consumers for sustainable packaging options when making purchasing decisions. The primary material of the SIG DomeMini carton bottle is FSC™-certified paperboard, designed for recyclability. Furthermore, it is produced using 100% renewable electricity and features a lightweight, space-efficient design. With its high percentage of forest-based renewable materials and sophisticated design, SIG DomeMini offers significant environmental benefits compared to alternatives such as single-use plastic bottles.
By utilizing SIG DomeMini for its V-FIT premium rice drinks, Ampol Food provides a sleek, distinctive, and ergonomic carton pack equipped with a large, centrally located cap. This design allows consumers to enjoy their beverage like from a bottle while ensuring ease of opening and reclosing—ideal for busy, health-aware consumers.
Dr. Kriangsak Theppadungporn, Managing Director at Ampol Food: “We are leading the way, not only when it comes to innovation in our products, but also in setting the trend for packaging solutions as part of the product concept. In addition to differentiating its eye-catching design from other types of packaging, opting for the SIG DomeMini is a step towards more sustainable on-the-go packaging in Thailand. We are empowering our consumers to make more eco-conscious choices without compromising on convenience while consuming their beverage on the move.”
Vatcharapong Ungsrisawasdi, Head of Market Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar at SIG: “The market for on-the-go beverages in Thailand is growing, and the market entry of SIG DomeMini with its sustainability benefits offers a perfect alternative to tackle the challenges of plastic bottles. Our SIG DomeMini carton bottle aligns with the trend toward ‘paperization’ in product packaging, providing manufacturers and consumers a viable substitute to plastic bottles, as it boasts a significantly lower ‘plastic-to-product’ ratio. Our partnership with Ampol Food signifies an essential step in advancing a new era of responsible consumption in Thailand, and we will continue to introduce even more sustainable packaging solutions to the market.”
The SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling machine efficiently fills 12,000 packages per hour across seven volume sizes, ranging from 180 to 350ml, all on a single filling machine that allows for a quick volume change in just 15 minutes. This capability maximizes efficiency and flexibility, delivering an excellent return on investment for beverage manufacturers.
