Spectra Packaging have recently created new containers for Apple & Bears Cosmetics.

The British based cosmetics brand recently tasked us with providing new packs for their Luxury Body Wash ranges in 500ml and 300ml capacity sizes.

The new bottles, which uses Flat Based Boston Rounds from our extensive standard ranges are moulded in a beautiful gloss white PET, which shows off the 2 pass print perfectly.

Alex Beveridge, Field Sales Representative at Spectra commented, "Apple & Bears products are both luxurious and totally natural. Our task was to provide a pack that complimented their ranges in a stylish yet understated manner. The subtle use of two colour print on a pristine white surface certainly achieves this”.

Apple & Bears Cosmetics boast an undeniable reputation for producing

Environmentally friendly products that use the finest sustainably sourced and Eco-certified natural and organic ingredients. The company also maintains an ethical philosophy, which embraces responsibility for the manufacturing process - from sourcing ingredients to transportation and distribution.

Additionally, the brand also donates a large percentage of its profits to Breast Cancer Care - as testified by the pink ribbon graphic, which appears on all of the packs in the range.

Interestingly, the Koi and Mermaid graphic, which also appears on all the products tells its own story. The logo draws inspiration from the many men and women diagnosed with breast cancer in celebration of life, hope, courage and the promise of new beginnings. The Mermaids represent a graceful, loving and carefree being, true of heart and free to a life of adventure. The Koi is revered for courage and perseverance - the ability to express levels of strength and determination and a symbolism for those who have made it through tough times. For those who have and are bravely fighting cancer, Apple & Bears Cosmetics feel that the Mermaid and Koi logo is a personal symbol of coming out on top, no matter how hard the fight to survive.

Kay Butt, Managing Director and Co-founder at Apple & Bears Cosmetics remarked, “Our working relationship with Spectra was totally stress-free. From start to finish, their enthusiasm and professionalism was commendable. We are extremely happy with the finished product”.
