Back to British
Historic motoring brand Bluecol is now on shelf in a bespoke bottle from RPC Containers UKSC. Originally developed in the 1930s by Smiths Industries as the first all year round antifreeze, Bluecol has belonged to several companies but Bluecol is now firmly back in British hands with the Tetrosyl Group. Tetrosyl decided a premium brand with such heritage like Bluecol deserved its own bespoke bottle designs and had no hesitation in approaching RPC, following the success of previous projects. Working closely with Tetrosyl’s in-house design studio, RPC created a design which incorporated a curved shape and chunky collar. This customised design gives Bluecol improved shelf presence, which is enhanced by the large labelling area, which also follows the curvy shape. The final piece of the jigsaw was the addition of a Bluecol insert on the front of the bottle below the labelling area which reads ‘Bluecol – trusted since 1937’.
