Flavour from thin air – almost!

Summer has come to an end, and the hot days are behind us, but staying hydrated is always important. Even as temperatures become milder, our bodies still need regular fluids to stay fit and energised. Yet, as everyone knows, that is not always easy. Water is healthy, but it just tastes like… water.

The ‘air up’ Click Bottle addresses exactly that. With its innovative scent based pods, plain water turns into a flavourful drinking experience, completely without sugar, additives, or calories. Drinking becomes not only healthier but also more exciting and motivating. 

The Click Bottle features an innovative EasyOpen mechanism where the integrated lid opens at the push of a button and stays attached to the bottle, making handling especially easy and secure. Its compact format and leak proof design make it the perfect companion for everyday life. Developed in close cooperation between air up and Greiner Packaging, the bottle is entirely manufactured in Austria. 

‘The Click Bottle shows how much innovation and passion go into the collaboration between Greiner Packaging and air up. Together we have created a bottle that is not only practical but also stylish and smart,’ said Patrick Fusz, sales manager at Greiner Packaging. 

The Click Bottle is made from Tritan, a highly durable, taste neutral, and BPA free material. The adapter and lid are made from robust polypropylene (PP). The push button of the EasyOpen mechanism is made from polyamide, designed for long term use and capable of withstanding intensive stress. 

All components of the closure system, from adapter and lid to the strap, are produced using the injection moulding process. The drinking straw, made from HDPE (high density polyethylene), is manufactured in the same way. The bottle body itself is produced using the stretch blow moulding process, which results in lightweight yet stable bottles with precise detailing. 

‘With the Click Bottle, we are fulfilling our mission to create innovative and sustainable drinking solutions for a conscious, active lifestyle. In close collaboration with Greiner Packaging, we have developed a bottle that stands out through smart functionality, premium design, and outstanding quality, perfectly suited to the needs of a modern, on the go lifestyle,’ explained Lena Jüngst, co-founder of air up. 

The collaboration between Greiner Packaging and air up is defined by innovation and technical excellence. After moving the production of the Tritan bottles entirely to Austria, the partnership continued to grow. A major milestone of this cooperation was the further development of the high quality, double walled stainless steel thermos bottle, available under the name air up Twist Pro Steel, which keeps water at the desired temperature, hot or cold, for extended periods. 

To make production of this bottle possible, Greiner Packaging specifically adapted its manufacturing processes. The steel bottle was precisely matched to the existing adapter of air up, including carefully coordinated printing. This step highlights the partners’ shared vision of sustainable and functional product solutions. 

Originally designed as a ‘Mini Sipper’ for a younger audience, the Click Bottle has since gained great popularity among adult users as well. It has been on the market for almost a year and now appeals to a wide target group with new colour variations.
