Greiner Packaging teams up with air up to introduce click bottle for a smarter, flavorful hydration experience

AUSTRIA — Packaging specialist Greiner Packaging has teamed up with scent-based hydration innovator air up to launch the air up Click Bottle, an entirely Austrian-manufactured bottle designed to deliver a flavorful, calorie-free drinking experience through scent-based pods.

The collaboration combines functionality, design, and sustainability to elevate the way consumers hydrate on the go.

The Click Bottle uses air up’s unique technology, which flavors water through the sense of smell rather than additives or sugar.

Each bottle features an EasyOpen mechanism that opens at the push of a button and keeps the lid attached, improving convenience and usability.

“The Click Bottle shows how much innovation and passion go into the collaboration between Greiner Packaging and air up,” said Patrick Fusz, Sales Manager at Greiner Packaging.

“Together, we’ve created a bottle that is practical, stylish, and smart.”

Engineered with precision manufacturing, the Click Bottle combines materials selected for durability and safety.

The bottle is made from Tritan, a BPA-free, taste-neutral plastic known for impact resistance, while the adapter and lid are crafted from polypropylene (PP).

The push button of the EasyOpen feature is made from polyamide, and the straw from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

All closure components are produced via injection molding, while the bottle body is formed using the stretch blow molding process, resulting in lightweight yet stable construction with precise detailing.

Originally conceived as a “Mini Sipper” for younger consumers, the Click Bottle’s leak-proof design and modern aesthetic make it suitable for daily use across age groups.

Lena Jüngst, co-founder of air up, noted, “With the Click Bottle, we’re fulfilling our mission to create innovative and sustainable drinking solutions. It’s a perfect blend of smart functionality, premium design, and outstanding quality.”

The launch follows the success of the air up Twist Pro Steel, a double-walled stainless steel thermos developed jointly by the two partners, which keeps beverages cool or warm for extended periods.

The collaboration mirrors a growing trend among beverage and packaging brands to merge design, material science, and sensory innovation.

Similar recent developments include SIG’s AromaPak bottle for enhanced sensory experiences and SodaStream’s E-Duo, which blends digital control with sustainable carbonation.

With the Click Bottle, Greiner Packaging and air up are helping redefine the hydration market, emphasizing reusability, user experience, and environmental responsibility.
