Slug Bait Captures Prestigious Award

Bayer Garden Slug Bait, a slug control product that retails in a pack manufactured by RPC Containers UKSC, has won the Best Consumer Packaging category at the Garden Industry Manufacturers Association (GIMA) awards.

Friday 13. November 2009 - Bayer Garden Slug Bait, a slug control product that retails in a pack manufactured by RPC Containers UKSC, has won the Best Consumer Packaging category at the Garden Industry Manufacturers Association (GIMA) awards.

Slug Bait was launched by Bayer Garden in response to consumers’ desire for an organic alternative to its market leading Bio Slug & Snail Killer. Fully rain-resistant, the pellets pose little risk to children and pets, while its active ingredient, Ferric Phosphate, biodegrades harmlessly in soil and is then taken up by plants.

Bayer Garden required a packaging solution that echoed the unique bottle design of Bio Slug & Snail Killer to reinforce family branding, and turned to long-term supplier RPC UKSC to provide its S-shaped solution.

Blow moulded in HDPE, the 400 g bottle offers distinctive visual presence as well as ergonomic contours ideal for dispensing the pellets. The solution is enhanced with a unique scatter cap ensuring consistent distribution of the product, and decorated in an all-over sleeve from CCL Decorative Sleeves that combines eye-catching visuals with clear consumer instruction.

“We are delighted that our attention to a stylish, convenient packaging solution has been recognised by GIMA,” comments Laura Varey, Product Manager at Bayer Garden. “RPC UKSC’s contribution has played an enormous part in the success of this award-winning brand.”
