Graham Packaging makes PET containers for swine flu gels

The government’s ‘Catch it, Bin it’ campaign has led to an increased use of antibacterial products, both for personal use and at the entrances to public buildings.

US firm Graham’s UK facility in Chalgrove, Oxfordshire, has produced a standard mould to help pharmaceutical firms bring products to market with no investment in bottle production.

Graham sales manager Neil Karrod said: “Companies, schools, hospitals and any location at which people congregate is a potential source of infection.

“We can now supply the market with a range of appropriate containers quickly and at minimum cost.”

The flat-sided, 95ml oval PET container can be fitted with a flip-top or a pump spray dispenser.

Graham also manufactures a 500ml handwash bottle at the Chalgrove site that can be fitted with pump dispenser.
