EMBACO X Frankly Juice

When a kitchen-table passion project meets packaging innovation, great things happen. In 2014, founders of Frankly Juice began crafting fresh, colourful, cold-pressed juices - only to face a shelf-life and scalability challenge. EMBACO stepped in with customised HPP‑compatible PET bottles, adapting the famed “Gatsby” design for faster filling and longer freshness. The result? A vibrant brand that’s now sustainably packaged, globally available, and as fresh as the day it was pressed. Read on to uncover the full story.

No Drama. Just Results

“We’ve been working together with EMBACO since the beginning, that speaks for itself. They are quick to respond, know everything about the business and are flexible. They work fast and it’s been a really good experience. Highly recommended.”

An Honest Juice

Established on a Copenhagen kitchen table in 2014, two Founders, Christian Bowall and Christian Seiersen, set out to revolutionise the fresh juice industry.

Using only seasonal ingredients and the cold-press technique, Frankly produces organic juices and shots that are colourful, fresh, and tastes as good as they look.

The Great Gatsby

EMBACO and Frankly have been partners from the beginning. We worked together to develop our first PET bottle range in the style of Frankly’s unique brand. It had to have a clean and original look, a bottle that deviated from the generic juice containers out there. And so the ‘Gatsby’ was born.

This bottle was the first of our exclusive PET bottles to hit the juice market, all thanks to this project. Subsequently, the Gatsby series has proven to be one of our most popular bottle series.

Frankly, Sustainable Just Tastes Better

The Frankly team focus their efforts on creating the most sustainable production processes possible, working with the circular concept, reusing most of their pulp to supply organic farms and vegan products. They are constantly striving to make the best products by making sure their impact on the environment is as small as possible. Founder, Christian Bowell, wanted a packaging partner who shared these values.

Here is his experience of EMBACO’s sustainable processes and products:

Frankly wanted a partner who aligned with our eco-friendly efforts. That is what EMBACO is delivering to us.

We get everything in one truck once a month which has greatly reduced our impact on the environment – we also know their manufacturing site uses 100% solar power. The solution you guys are providing to us is cutting edge and the best available. The quality of the bottles you deliver are high and are really easy to reuse again after its been put into the recycling system.

EMBACO and Frankly Juice Bottles

Christian Bowell, tells us in his own words about the problem facing Frankly’s expansion and EMBACO’s solution:

“We had a short shelf life, producing juices and shots daily with rapid deliveries in small quantities. Our partners could not store products, limiting our range.

To grow and reduce waste, we needed a longer shelf life. EMBACO suggested the HPP process and developed bottles to support it – extending shelf life without compromising quality.
Now, we have a product we love – and thanks to HPP, it is as close to homemade as it gets”.

The Greater Gatsby

Christian Bowell describes the process to create an HPP suitable bottle in keeping with Frankly’s brand:

“With the plan set for an increased shelf life and the addition of a new machine to make our production process leaner, we needed to change our production line and therefore our bottles.
We wanted to maintain the same great look of the original Gatsby bottle but with a range that was the perfect fit for our machines.
As promised, EMBACO created a custom bottle range for us which were of the highest quality and suitable for HPP.”

We knew that Frankly had become synonymous with the sleek bottle design of our Gatsby range.

To deliver the awesome HPP suitable bottles that we promised, but in the same great look – we decided to create a customised version of the Gatsby, making adjustments to the neck height so that it would fit in with their conveyor belt production line and HPP.

This bottle was much more suitable for the production line and at the same time Frankly could keep their brand identity as they had become known for that shape of bottle.
After several tests, Frankly approved the adjusted design and we made three new blow moulds in three new sizes for their range.


Frankly Goes Global with EMBACO


Now, with their extended product shelf-life, their own production site in Brøndby and an internationally recognised brand, Frankly juices in the greater Gatsby bottles can be seen in cafes and supermarkets globally.

EMBACO X Cargill: From Risk to Resilience

When a global food leader asks for absolute packaging safety, you listen closely – and then you engineer precisely. Cargill approached EMBACO with one non-negotiable: a packaging solution that is 100% free from MOSH, MOAH, and BPA – while also being tamper-evident. We built a custom, lab-validated system that protects product integrity end-to-end.
