About Ubo Shampooemballage

Ubo er en emballageserie til shampoo og andre hår- og kropsplejeprodukter. Flaskerne er fremstillet af polyethylen, et materiale med høj kemisk bestandighed og høj slagfasthed, som egner sig til kosmetik- og rengøringsprodukter. Skærelinjer og -flader former flaskens krop til et ovalt visuelt symbol, som går igen i hele serien. De skårne flader gør det også muligt for flasken at hvile behageligt i hånden. Et pumpehoved åbnes og trykkes ned for at dosere produktet. Den enkle form understøtter hurtig genkendelse.
