(08/2004, no product was assigned a 'very good'), Ökotest (German consumer
magazine focusing on ecological topics) bestowed a 'very good' upon
beckers bester clear apple juice.

The Packaging
beckers bester is well-known in the classic 1.0-litre glass bottle. The new
packaging in the 1-litre non-returnable bottle is a response to an increased
consumer demand.
The shape of the 1-litre PET non-returnable bottle was designed especially
for beckers bester in the style of the returnable 1-litre glass bottle with a wide
opening. A small amount of excess pressure safeguards the stability of the
bottle shape. In comparison to the glass bottle with narrow opening, the wide
opening makes pouring easier.
Advantages of the Plasti-Twist® with Liner
The 38mm Plasti-Twist®- closure with liner is a two-piece vacuum closure,
manufactured in a compression-moulded process. It is made of polypropylene
and is provided with a compression-moulded liner.
The cap has 2 threads for better application and a flat liner profile for sealing
of PET bottles. It also incorporates a patented drop-drown J-tamper evident
band. After opening the band stays on the container, and, as the band is
not attached to the closure, it is easier to reseal the container.
The 38mm Plasti-Twist® cap has low removal torques for easy opening and
excellent resealability.
