Plastic Bottles To Consider When Designing Your Product
There are many different kind of plastic bottles to choose from, but your product may only be a good fit for a few of them, depending on what you produce. Some plastics are incredibly cheap, but fragile, and will collapse or leach under high temperatures. Others have been treated and made in such a way as to be able to withstand extreme temperatures. Additionally, there is the issue of product packaging design. You’ll have to choose between buying your bottles in stock or having them custom made. While custom bottles are more expensive, the reality is that they are often worth it, depending on what’s in them. Below, we’ll take a closer look at both issues.
The Right Kind of Plastic
Not all plastics are “created equal.” They are all made for slightly different purposes and well suitd for different uses. For example, if you are in the food and beverage industry, you may require plastic bottled that are able to withstand high temperatures in order to be hot filled. Hot filling is the process of heating the contents of a food or beverage to 194 degrees and then filling the bottle with it. The bottle is then turned on its side or upside down in order to thoroughly sterilize and purify both the product itself and the bottle, including the cap. Otherwise, harmful bacteria or micro organisms in the air, food or beverage, or bottle can conaminate your product, making it unsafe and shortening its shelf life. Some of the different kinds of plastic bottles include:
- PET bottles
- Pharmaceutical bottles and supplies
- Wash bottles
- Honey bottles and jars
- Sample bottles
- Specialty bottles
- Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles
- Cyllindrical bottles
- And many more
Product Packaging Design
Additionally, your bottle needs to look a certain way in oder to get off the shelves. You need a design that is eye catching and easily recognizale from a distance. This sounds simple but can be difficult to achieve. Only a few companies really put in the effort to design a truly unique and attractive design for their packaging that consumers actually remember.
