A line of ready-to-drink AriZona Tea Waters was introduced by the partnership of Lake Success, NY-based AriZona Beverages and Nestlé Waters North America Inc. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture-certified organic tea-infused waters are low-calorie and include Poland Spring-brand natural spring water from Maine, as well as organic cane juice and fruit extracts, combining the antioxidant benefits of green tea with the hydration of natural spring water.
Four varieties are sold in 20-oz amber PET bottles from Constar Intl. Inc. (www.constar.net). An AriZona Beverages spokesperson confirms the bottles are made with Constar’s Vertical Compensation Technology™. The bottles offer ultraviolet light protection and oxygen barrier to help protect the natural antioxidants and flavor.
Beyond the amber bottle color, a colorful graphic punch is provided by the label, which helps distinguish AriZona Beverages packaging. The 3-mil metallized label material is supplied by ExxonMobil Chemical (www.exxonmobilchemical.com) and gravure-printed in eight colors by Inland Printing (www.inlandprinting.com).
