Beverage Bottles
Plastic
Bottles - Most single serve size beverage
bottles sold in the
United States are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
PET has become the material of choice for beverage bottles
because it is inexpensive, lightweight and shatter resistant.
PET bottles have been extensively tested for safety over many
years and there is no conclusive evidence that there is any
harm in drinking from a properly produced plastic beverage
bottle. Beverage bottles made with PET are widely used for
everything from water and fruit juice to soft drinks and even
some beer companies use PET bottles. Overall, plastic beverage
bottles are the most used type of bottle globally. Plastic
bottles can be easily used for storage and transportation purposes
for liquids, grains, cereals etc. Plastic bottles can be solid
or diffused colors or transparent. Plastic bottles are available
in various shapes and sizes and they can be easily recycled
if handled responsibly.
Glass Bottles - Have a significant shelf impact which can be
enhanced by their shape and decorative treatments. Glass beverage
bottles can be manufactured with very elaborate designs and
because of this they are often the packaging that makes the
biggest impact on the consumer. A glass beverage bottle is
very appealing to the eye and the feel of the glass beverage
bottle appeals to the consumer’s tactical senses. In
a highly competitive market place only glass provides such
a wide spectrum of options to help manufacturers differentiate
their products from the crowd. Glass beverage bottles convey
a premium appeal. However all of these positive attributes
have to be weighed against the higher cost of this type of
beverage bottle.
There are many factors to consider when selecting a beverage
bottle. Some of the factors are color, size, weight, shape
and the capability of the beverage bottle to withstand heat,
cold and various types of chemical reactions. Also to be considered
is whether or not the bottle is suitable for the type of beverage
that you are going to be manufacturing.
