DEVELOPMENT
The bottle was designed with a body structure making it highly resistant to the implosion when on the water cooler. Dimensions and shoulder profile were designed to allow its manipulation as it was for PC bottle.
The in blow ergonomic handle completes the packaging. Washing and transport tests were performed to simulate the real life of the bottle in order to optimize its design.
