The MTA-T vacuum insulated carbonated bottle, which has been selling
well since its launch,
2022 Good Design Best 100 Winner!

 Tiger Thermos Co., Ltd. (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture), a world leader in heat control technology, is pleased to announce that the “first” vacuum insulated carbonated bottle MTA-T050/T080/T120/T150 of Tiger Thermos will be released in 2022. Awarded the Good Design Best 100 of the year.

 The Vacuum Insulated Carbonated Bottle Model MTA-T was developed to meet the needs of people who want to carry carbonated drinks, which are popular as everyday drinks, while keeping them cold. Due to the structure of our conventional vacuum insulated bottle, if the pressure inside the bottle rises, the cap or lid may break or explode, so we do not recommend carrying carbonated drinks in it for safety reasons. I didIt is possible to carry carbonated beverages by adopting our unique structure “BubbleLogic” for carbonated beverages, which is equipped with a “carbon dioxide release mechanism” and a “safety valve”. The inner surface of the bottle is treated with our unique process “Super Clean Plus”, so the inner surface of the bottle is less uneven and the evaporation of carbonic acid is suppressed compared to unprocessed bottles. (according to our research)

 In addition, a color clear finish that makes use of stainless steel material is adopted. Copper, emerald, and steel are used as a color scheme that evokes the image of carbonic acid, and the texture of the surface of the main unit is also carefully selected using matte beads.
The MTA-T type, which allows you to carry fresh carbonated beverages on the go, has been well received by many customers, and can be used in various situations such as eating, working, and outdoors, and can be enjoyed in the coming autumn and winter seasons. Our vacuum insulated bottles have four promises: “NO conflict minerals”, “NO fluorine coating”, “NO whole production”, and “NO plastic waste”. Tiger Thermos will continue to deliver vacuum-insulated bottles that take human rights, health, and the environment into consideration while sticking to design.

■Reason for award (evaluation comments by the Good Design Award judges)

MTA-T type:

In terms of carrying carbonated beverages, the first thing that comes to mind is the structure of the lid. The question of how the lid should be constructed to prevent spurting when opening and closing is answered by looking at the cross-sectional structure. At the moment the lid is turned, a gap is created that leads to the outside, releasing pressure and making it easier to turn. The fact that there are not only one, but two points to deal with blowout shows the effort that went into the development of this product. In any case, this is a product that shows a high level of awareness of safety.

When the cap is opened, carbon dioxide gas escapes to prevent spillage and splashing.
Adopts our original “BubbleLogic” equipped with a “carbon dioxide release mechanism” and a “safety valve” that automatically releases carbon dioxide in the unlikely event that the pressure inside the bottle increases abnormally.

 In addition, by applying a smooth and glossy “Super Clean Plus” process to the inner surface of the bottle, the unevenness of the inner surface of the bottle is reduced, and the evaporation of carbonic acid is suppressed compared to unprocessed bottles. (according to our research)
With these functions, it is now possible to safely keep cold and fresh carbonated drinks cold for a long time without condensation.

Adopting a design that evokes the refreshingness of carbonic acid

 A color clear finish that makes use of stainless steel material is used, and copper, emerald, and steel are developed as a color scheme that evokes carbonic acid while making use of the metallic feel. Matte beads are used on the surface of the main body so that you can imagine carbonic acid from the sense of touch, and we are particular about the texture. Also, in anticipation of the overseas market, we aimed for a stronger impression than conventional bottles, such as making the strap thicker and making the cap look like a gas valve.
In addition, we have 4 sizes of 0.5L, 0.8L, 1.2L, and 1.5L, and 3 colors of copper <DC>, emerald <GE>, and steel <KS>.

  • Copper: A color inspired by a tank in a beer brewery, expressing the freshness of carbonation.
  • Emerald: In recent years, green has been attracting attention from the perspective of sustainability. A color reminiscent of a bottle of carbonated water.
  • Steel: A color that is the keynote in life and matches every scene.

Good Design Best 100

The Good Design Best 100 are 100 items that received particularly high evaluations by the judging committee from among the 2022 Good Design Award winners, and were selected as candidates for special awards such as the Good Design Gold Award, and were selected by the Good Design Best 100 selection committee.

Four Promises of Tiger Vacuum Insulated Bottles

1. NO conflict minerals

We will not use mineral resources that fund conflict.
We do not use raw materials made from human suffering, no matter how cheap they may be. We believe that consideration of human rights is the only way to promote a sustainable society.

*Conflict minerals: Four mineral resources, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold, mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and nine neighboring countries.

2.NO Fluorine coat

Among the thousands of organofluorine compounds, some were once permitted for use but are now prohibited by international treaties.
Considering the impact on both the environment and health, we do not use a fluorine coat on the full vacuum insulation bottle, and achieve the same anti-staining performance with advanced polishing technology.

3.NO round throw production

In order to protect the health of our customers and ensure quality, we produce approximately 8 million bottles annually at our three factories*, regardless of cost.
Our employees strictly manage production and quality control in accordance with Tiger’s own strict standards.

*We have our own factories in Japan, China, and Vietnam as production bases for Tiger Thermos. (The number of units produced is the result for FY2018.)

4.NO plastic trash

While the world is moving away from plastic, about 580 billion* PET bottles are consumed annually in the world, and are the most familiar plastic products. We will contribute to the reduction of plastic waste through the popularization of my bottles.

*As of 2021 (in-house research)
