Plastic Bottles, PET & HDPE Packers

What is PET?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a strong, lightweight, clear plastic widely used for bottles and jars. It is shatter-resistant and fully recyclable (resin code #1).

What is PET used for?

PET is used for water, juice, soda, and beverage bottles, food jars, personal care bottles, and supplement packers, anywhere a clear, lightweight, shatter-resistant container is needed.

Why is PET sometimes called polyester?

PET is a member of the polyester family of polymers, so the same material used for PET bottles is also spun into polyester fiber.

Are PET bottles safe?

Yes. PET is recognized as safe for food and beverage contact and is BPA-free.

Can PET bottles be refilled and reused?

PET bottles are recyclable and can be reused, though many are designed for single use. For repeated refilling we can recommend the right material and wall thickness.

PET packers are clear, lightweight, shatter-resistant, and recyclable, giving supplements and vitamins premium shelf appeal in a product-visible container.

What size packers are available?

Packers come in a wide range of sizes, typically measured in cc (cubic centimeters), from small counts up to large bulk bottles.

What is HDPE?

HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a durable, chemical-resistant plastic (resin code #2), usually opaque, used for sturdy bottles, jugs, and packers.

What are the benefits of HDPE?

HDPE is strong, moisture- and chemical-resistant, lightweight, and recyclable, which makes it ideal for supplements, household, and personal care products.

What are common uses for HDPE plastic?

HDPE is used for supplement packers, milk and juice jugs, detergent and cleaner bottles, shampoo bottles, and more.

Are all plastics recyclable?

Most of the plastics we use, including PET (#1) and HDPE (#2), are widely recyclable. Recyclability depends on the resin type and local programs, and we can help you choose recyclable options.

What types of caps and closures do you offer?

Screw caps and screw tops, ROPP (roll-on) caps, crown caps, continuous thread caps, child-resistant caps, tamper-evident caps, flip-top and disc-top dispensing caps, lotion and treatment pumps, trigger and fine-mist sprayers, spout closures, droppers, bar-top corks, and metal lug closures.

What is an ROPP closure?

ROPP stands for roll-on pilfer-proof. It is an aluminum cap that is rolled and threaded onto the bottle during capping, forming a custom-fit seal with a tamper-evident band that shows if the cap has been opened. ROPP caps are common on spirits, wine, and olive oil bottles.

What is a continuous thread (CT) closure?

A continuous thread closure is a standard screw cap with matching threads that seals a bottle when you twist it on. It is the most common closure type across packaging.

What are child-resistant closures?

Child-resistant closures require a push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn motion to open, helping keep contents away from children. They are common for pharmaceuticals, supplements, and cannabis.

What are tamper-evident closures?

Tamper-evident closures have a band or seal that shows if a package has already been opened, giving customers confidence that the product is untouched.

How do I know which closure fits my bottle?

Packaging Guides

Glass vs. Plastic: Which Is Right for Your Product?

Glass is inert, premium, and continuously recyclable, and it protects flavor and aroma, though it is heavier and can break. Plastic such as PET and HDPE is lightweight, shatter-resistant, and often lower cost to ship. The right choice depends on your product, brand positioning, budget, and how it ships.

PET vs. HDPE: Understanding Plastic Packaging

PET is clear, strong, and recyclable (resin #1), ideal for beverages and products that benefit from a see-through container. HDPE is opaque, chemical-resistant, and recyclable (resin #2), ideal for supplements, household, and personal care. We can help you pick the resin that fits your product.

How to Choose the Right Closure

Start with your bottle's neck finish so the closure threads match, then consider whether you need child-resistant or tamper-evident features, the dispensing style (screw, pump, sprayer, flip-top, dropper), and whether the closure material is compatible with your product.

Understanding Bottle Neck Finishes and Sizes

A neck finish is written as two numbers, such as 24-410. The first number is the neck diameter in millimeters and the second describes the thread style and height. Matching the neck finish is what ensures a cap seals correctly, so it is one of the first specs to confirm.

Choosing Flexible Packaging and Printing

Flexible pouches come in stand-up, flat-bottom, side-gusset, and spouted formats, with barrier films that protect freshness. For printing, Flexo suits medium to large runs, Digital is best for short runs and prototypes, and Rotogravure delivers the highest detail for very large runs.

Sustainable Packaging Options

Glass and aluminum are continuously recyclable, PET and HDPE are widely recycled, and mono-material stand-up pouches are designed for recyclability. Right-sizing packaging and reducing material also lower impact. We can help you build a more sustainable packaging program without sacrificing shelf appeal.
