Hi Stanislav, I don’t know about bottling plants, but “L” is often used when advertising Perrier water in Europe.
I have a selection of advertisements, some of which show “L” and some of which show “l”: United Kingdom: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=274501973 http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=50549 http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sparkling-water/perrier-sparkling-mineral-water-750ml Netherlands: http://www.ah.nl/producten/product/wi198722/perrier-mineraalwater-koolzuurhoudend Germany: http://www.amazon.de/PERRIER-nat%C3%BCrliches-kohlens%C3%A4urehaltiges-Mineralwasser-Frankreich/dp/B0051BLCCI http://german.alibaba.com/product-tp/perrier-mineral-water-for-export-fob-europe-117971051.html http://www.kaufen.com/Preisvergleich/result.jsp?ga=g37&q=mineralwasser+perrier France: http://www.carrefour.fr/search/site/--perrier/15 http://www.auchandirect.fr/boissons/eaux/eaux-gazeuses/id0/663 It should be remembered that in Continental Europe, the hand-written number 1 usually has a long leading stroke – see for example the picture at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FM_IMG_2024.JPG.

Always the l (lower case "el"). You might have a better success with that.
