Plastic Innovations Cooler Bottles Now at Takealot and Makro

Across South Africa, rising summer temperatures mean dispensers in homes and offices are working harder than ever to keep people hydrated. This November, Sandton based plastic injection moulding manufacturer Plastic Innovations wants buyers to know that its dispenser bottle range is not limited to bulk supply for water suppliers. The same bottles are also available through its Takealot store and on Makro Marketplace, so households, small offices and new water businesses can get the bottles they need without committing to a large factory order.

The season explains the timing. Hotter weather and the run-up to the festive period push offices to stock up before closing, families to get ready for guests and small refill businesses to handle rising demand. Ordering a spare or replacement bottle online and having it delivered takes one job off the list during a hectic month.

Two routes to the same bottle

For many years, Plastic Innovations has supplied water cooler suppliers, distributors and other businesses that need large volumes of durable, food safe bottles. The team takes on bulk and custom orders, including bottles built around a buyer's own branding requirements, and offers rapid stock availability for bigger runs. Smaller buyers now have another option in the online marketplace listings. Someone at home who wants a spare bottle, an office manager replacing a cracked one or a new refill station gauging demand can all order through online platforms they already know.

Whichever route a buyer takes, the products are identical and come from the same team in Frankenwald, Sandton.

What the range includes

The company produces water dispenser bottles for home, office and commercial settings. Every bottle is made from 100 percent recyclable, BPA-free PET and comes in Ocean Blue or Crystal Clear, while other colours can be supplied subject to minimum order quantities.

At the core of the range is the standard dispenser size, and the 18.9l water bottles are offered in two versions. The 18.9L Dispensor Handle Bottle features an integrated PET handle that makes it easier to lift and carry, and because the handle is built separately, cleaning is effortless. It weighs 780g and includes a dedicated area where a logo stays visible. The 18.9L Dispensor Bottle takes a sleek, minimalist approach suited to home and office dispensers. At 720g, it resists splitting over repeated use cycles and leaves plenty of surface area for branding stickers.

The range is rounded off by two smaller formats. Weighing 460g, the Ladies 10L Handle Bottle pairs a comfortable carry handle with a refined design and space for branding stickers. The square 10L Bottle is designed to make the most of storage space and packing efficiency. It weighs 150g, has a 46mm neck and is supplied with a secure cap and a wide grip handle. Beyond water, it is suitable for fruit juices, cooking oils, sauces, syrups, other beverages and chemical based liquids including detergents and cleaning solutions.

Choosing the right bottle for hot weather

Few household containers get handled as often as a dispenser bottle. In hot weather it may be filled, carried, placed on a dispenser, emptied and refilled many times in one week. Bottles made from PET that resists splitting, with a design that is simple to clean, stay hygienic and remain in use for longer. Anyone carrying bottles back and forth from a refill station soon notices the weight of the empty bottle and how comfortable the handle is, which is why the company makes both a handle bottle and a lighter 10L option.

Small water businesses also benefit from branded water cooler bottles, which make it easier for customers to recognise who supplies them. Plastic Innovations builds space for labels and logos into its bottles and is open to discussing custom branding on larger orders.

Built on recycling

Every product the company makes follows what it describes as the GSDS principle: Green, Sleek, Durable and Simple. Each year it recycles hundreds of tons of plastic and turns that material into a wide variety of products ready for a second life. Because its dispenser bottles are made from fully recyclable PET, buyers can send worn bottles back into the recycling stream once they reach the end of their working life.

Choosing reusable dispenser bottles for drinking water at home and at work also cuts down on single use bottles, giving buyers another reason to prefer them over smaller disposable packs.

Buyers ordering more than a handful of bottles can match the format to the way they deliver. Small refill operators can fit more stock on each trip because the square 10L bottle packs tightly in storage and on vehicles, while the 18.9L bottles suit standard home and office dispensers. Stocking both formats allows a business to serve dispenser customers as well as those who would rather carry a smaller bottle.

A wider manufacturing business

Dispenser bottles are just one area of what Plastic Innovations does. With more than 35 years of experience in plastic injection moulding, the company works in sectors that include water and sanitation, mining and resources, security and defence, furniture and interiors, technology and electronics, and food and beverage. Its product families are DuraPET for PET packaging, All Pro for general products and MinePlas for mining products. Using in-house design and modern moulding facilities, it takes clients from concept to creation.

Beat the festive rush

Summer demand is rising and the holidays are not far away, so Plastic Innovations is urging buyers to place their orders early, whether that is one bottle through an online marketplace or a branded bulk run straight from the factory. Businesses with larger needs can email or phone the sales team to talk through quantities and branding.
