Materials: the bottle will be made in metal (aluminium or stainless steel) while the cap will be in plastics. Materials not suitable for food contact are not allowed.
Production technologies: the bottle can undergo the following processes: extrusion, metal spinning and moulding. The cap and its components will be realised through injection moulding. The graphics will be applied through hot stamping technology. The stylistic interaction between the graphics and the shape of the bottle may give rise to the employment of other technologies. The production cost of every bottle shall be kept at the lowest.

The compliance with the brand will be a key parameter in the evaluation criteria.

The design you suggest for the new bottle shall comply with the brand values and convey a sense of freshness and wellbeing. The design shall hold great aesthetic value and be perceived as a handy, easy to carry, beautiful and quality product.
