Spirits bottles are notorious for being very heavy, creating tons of emissions to ship them around the world. What if you could reduce the weight of your product shipment by over 50% and the footprint of the shipment by 70%, while eliminating breakage by 100%? You would reduce shipping costs by at least half. What if you didn’t even have to pay for the bottles and labels and printing? How well could you manage your production if you could see, in real-time, how much of your wine is being consumed per hour anywhere it is sold? What if you can send a promotion to a restaurant patron at the very moment that they taste your product for the first time? Hermet can deliver all of this.
When considering the truly game-changing benefits the Hermet system provides to restaurants the decision to switch to Hermet packaging becomes obvious. Packaging with Hermet practically ensures that a restaurant that is concerned with theft and shrinkage would prefer your product, as every pour can be monitored.
Perhaps what is most exciting is the new markets Hermet opens up for spirits producers. There are over 7 million holiday homes and 20 million hotel rooms waiting to sell your product if using Hermet. The ability for hosts and hotels lock and unlock dispensing and to charge by the pour when using Hermet opens up this massive market. See the “Holiday rental host” and “Hotel” secions above for more detail.
For off-trade markets, Hermet completely redefines the bag in box concept for spirits. The Hermet can literally be a work of art. We plan on working with artists to create and sell limited edition shells. Producers are also free to create masterpiece shells, which now becomes feasible if it is not thrown out when empty. Users will collect them and display them in their homes like a vase or painting. Instead of receiving a plastic bag filled with ABC Vodka, customers receive a fully reusable and microplastics-free steel tank, which is simply the refill for their luxurious ABC Vodka branded Hermet. This steel tank just happens to be 20 microns thin. These Razortanks are saved until they fill one of the self-addressed cardboard boxes they came in and simply mailed back.
