Valpré® Introduces A Refined Bottle Design:

Same Spring Water. A New Premium Look

Johannesburg, 01 July 2026, – Coca‑Cola South Africa has officially unveiled a refreshed bottle for Valpré®, marking a new chapter for one of the country’s most loved spring water brands. The updated PET plastic packaging signals a bold evolution in Valpré®’s premium design while preserving the exceptional product quality consumers trust.

Guided by the belief that richness is in the detail, the new bottle design enhances Valpré®’s premium credentials and strengthens its on‑shelf presence. A refined silhouette, combined with sculpted, diamond‑inspired facets at the base of the bottle, creates a sophisticated play of light and texture, positioning Valpré® as a more distinctive and elevated choice in the water category.

“The new Valpré® bottle is a celebration of thoughtful design,” said Mario I. Garcia, Vice President and Managing Director at Coca‑Cola South Africa. “It reflects our belief that premium quality should be seen and felt. This design evolution elevates how the brand shows up on shelf, giving consumers a more premium experience of the same spring water they know and love.”

While the bottle exterior has evolved, the label and the water inside remain unchanged. Valpré® continues to deliver exceptionally pure, naturally filtered spring water, produced and distributed locally by The Coca‑Cola Company’s authorised bottler, Coca‑Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA).

Designed with Richness in the Details

Every element of the new bottle has been thoughtfully crafted to reflect the brand’s premium ethos:

  • The iconic Valpré® “V” crest is embossed into the upper shoulder of the bottle, offering a subtle yet confident brand signature.
  • Distinctive geometric, diamond like facets on the neck and lower half of the bottle add visual depth and tactile appeal.
  • The label remains unchanged, with the signature gold Valpré® emblem taking pride of place at the top-centre of the label, reinforcing the brand’s heritage and elegance.
  • Valpré® Still Spring Water retains its deep blue bottle, cap and label, while Valpré® Sparkling Spring Water is still identified by its vibrant premium teal, maintaining clear differentiation between the two variants.

The new premium look is available across Valpré®’s plastic bottle portfolio, including the 330ml, 500ml, and 1.5L still water, as well as the 330ml, 500ml, and 1L sparkling water—transforming everyday hydration into a more elevated experience.

The new Valpré® bottles are now available nationwide at major retailers, wholesalers, and selected premium dining establishments.
