The first bottle in the new range is the Carlton, a classic rectangular shape with straight shoulders, available in 100ml & 30ml with 50ml on request."It offers designers a generous face for decoration & complete flexibility of approach,"says Mark Devonald Smith, director of UK perfumery & personal care. "The heavyweight glass is in line with traditional flaconnage & reflects prestige. It's a versatile bottle that will accept a wide range of closures & meets the needs of the marketplace." All the new ranges will follow these principles. "The personal care market increasingly wants to deal with primary sources rather than through a merchant or agent. Working directly with the glassmaker gives clients control over the production process. STO's long glassmaking expertise enables it to meet customer expectation in what is a highly specialised market. STO is all about turning a concept into a reality."
