Drinktainer features a wide-mouth opening, closing the gap on the optimal drinking experience when enjoying a beverage from glassware. Recent market research demonstrated that 61 percent of consumers likened the Drinktainer to drinking from a glass and enjoyed the premium appeal and consumption experience of the container.

The differentiation Drinktainer offers allows brands to stand out on the shelf among today’s increasing commoditized packaging.
“In our 135-year history, we have thrived by going to market with new and innovative beverages and packages that delight our customers and our consumers, said Fred Matt, President & CEO for FX Matt Beverage Company. “We look forward to building Drinktainer into a premium must have beverage container with O-I.”
