Glass has long been the material of choice for pharmaceutical applications. However, the advent of PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) has not gone unnoticed. The reason is that PET is able to match the specifications laid down, with a few very clear advantages as well. A bottle made of PET weighs just 1/10 of its glass equivalent. This weight saving is extremely beneficial, particularly with pharmaceutical packaging, owing to the long distances over which these products are transported. The reduction in weight results in considerable savings in logistics costs. 

Wine is still usually bottled in glass, owing to the effect of oxygen on the taste. Standard PET has an oxygen barrier of three months. This is often increased by adding anti-oxidants to the wine. PET Power is able to increase the shelf-life of wine up to 18 months, by adding an oxygen-blocking agent to the PET grains.

Catering for the aviation sector

PET bottles have major advantages for catering aboard airplanes. On an intercontinental flight this can provide weight savings equivalent to two passengers. It is obvious that this offers considerable cost savings for air travel, quite apart from the positive impact on the environment.

Apart from the currently existing 89 mm and 110 mm Tamper Evident caps, PET Power has, together with cap specialists, now developed an 82 mm Guarantee Cap. The advantage of this complete solution is that a cap with a pressure-sensitive liner is no longer necessary. Jar and lid can now be sealed in a single production line process. The sealed jar cannot be opened without visibly breaking the guarantee closing ring. This ensures a safe product for the end-consumer.

PET Power offers this standard solution as a package.

PET is a sustainable material, and packaging made of PET contributes to the environmental sustainability of the end-product. But what is sustainability? Sustainability means among other things that a product's impact on the environment is as low as possible. Correct packaging can make a contribution. Think about it: good packaging ensures that products retain the right quality for longer. Not only at the consumer’s home, but also during the production, transport and sale of the product. Production of the contents often has a greater impact on the environment than production of the packaging. If we reduce production of the end-products by maintaining the contents at the right quality for longer, then we are contributing to sustainability.

The option of finding a cap with a jar or bottle and viewing this as a whole was available previously. Now it is also possible to choose a cap or pump as a starting point and subsequently create an appropriate combination with a bottle or jar. In addition to the preview of the combination chosen, you will see examples of possible end-products with a label, sleeve or print, plus information regarding the product family. You can also use the search function to look for articles by family name or article number. The products chosen and saved in the shopping basket will be sent to you completely free of charge. We hope that our product configurator will contribute to a simple and rapid search process for the most suitable packaging for your product. We are always open to ideas, tips and improvements, which you can e-mail to our Marketing Manager Kees Kok: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
