Attempting to combat issues with piracy and counterfeiting, car care company Mannol has introduced new screw caps for its containers, with authenticity features and transparent manufacturer details.
To enable distributors and end customers to verify authenticity, the new screw caps bear the SCT and MANNOL brand marks, and the top of the cap features a tactile, embossed texture with an iridescent effect that shimmers depending on the light. The inner seal now reads ‘Made by SCT’ while the ‘Original Quality’ notice and the SCT logo remain.
The caps are produced in a silver tone also used on the product labels, including in the product names, viscosity grades, and elements of the new vehicle sketches. The company hopes that for trade and service partners, this will create clear checkpoints for incoming goods and sales, and provide reliable guidance at the point of purchase for end customers.
The new caps will be used across all relevant product categories including engine oils, transmission oils, industrial oils, and operating and service fluids. The caps are also designed for 1-litre, 4-litre, and 5-litre canisters. The new container caps are due to be introduced immediately, with the transition rolled out gradually worldwide across the specified product categories and container sizes.
Back in April, DS Smith and TPV Automotive partnered to create a fibre-based solution for BMW’s car wheel carriers using corrugated cardboard, allowing the auto-parts to be stacked in cargo containers for transportation. The protective packaging utilizes corrugated cardboard 3D inserts cut to fit securely into the bottom of the packaging.
This summer Fiat claimed it had become the first car manufacturer to incorporate recycled materials from used beverage cartons in a vehicle, with the launch of the latest model of Fiat Grande Panda. Each car utilizes recycled material used in the central console, dashboard, interior front and rear door panels.
