Goya Foods Inc., based in Secaucus, NJ, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S. and a leader in the Latin American food and condiments industries, has undertaken a major redesign of its marinade product line, converting 12-oz (355-mL) and 24.5-oz (725-mL) products from glass to lightweight PET bottles from Amcor Rigid Plastics.

The custom-designed hot-fill containers, which also feature a newly designed shrink-wrap label, boast an iconic shape that is highly attractive. The vibrant design was developed to promote a clean look that is both modern and elegant. According to Amcor, the hot-fill bottle delivers significant performance and cost advantages including portability, reduced breakage, and a light weight, along with sustainability benefits such as recyclability, reduced transportation costs, and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.

With the new PET bottle design, Goya also offers consumers more marinade product by moving from a 705-mL glass container to the 725-mL PET bottle. Consumers are drawn to the attractive and lightweight features of the PET bottles, which are said to be easier to grip than traditional glass containers.
