(NASDAQ: THST), an innovative and fast growing super-premium, ultra-premium and luxury wine sales, marketing and production company based in the acclaimed Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys of Sonoma County, California, has once again seen its innovations recognized by the top press. In a feature highlighted on the front cover, Packaging World recognizes the significance and innovative paper wine bottle – PaperBoy. Packaging World is the best read publication for professionals who use, recommend and purchase packaging equipment and materials.
PaperBoy is packaged in a molded paper outer shell in the shape of a traditional wine bottle with a plastic liner inside and decorating the front and back of the PaperBoy bottle are Kraft-colored, recycled-paper labels, printed with water-soluble inks and applied using a natural rubber adhesive. PaperBoy is available in 45 states and in two varietals: a 2012 Paso Robles Red Blend (MSRP $14.99) and a 2012 Mendocino Chardonnay (MSRP $13.99).
CEO and President of Truett-Hurst, Inc., Phillip L. Hurst stated: "We are on a quest through new products and packaging to change the way people think about and buy wine. For eco-conscious consumers on the move, the light weight PaperBoy package provides a responsible way for them to carry wine outdoors. Campers, hikers and fisherman carry this lightweight package (only 1.9 pounds filled) and enjoy premium wine from a 750-mL bottle almost anywhere, collapsing it when finished for return to a recycling site."
