Industry Insights

What differences between glass bottles and PET bottles should be considered early on in the design phase?

Different materials will affect the bottle base, bottle shoulder, weight, transparency, and subsequent prototyping process.

Key Observations

Glass bottles and PET bottles differ in their visual language, weight and feel, structural boundaries, and cost considerations; therefore, they cannot be evaluated using the same criteria.

Design Recommendations

First, determine the preferred material, then discuss the bottle’s proportions, capacity ranges, and visual extensions of the packaging.

Arrival Reminder

The choice of materials affects mold making, prototyping, shipping, and shelf display, and must be evaluated early in the design process.

Key Considerations for Project Evaluation

  • Texture and Feel
  • Expressions of Transparency
  • Bottle Bottom Structure
  • Proofing Process

Do you have a clear plan for new products? Start with a project assessment.

Please submit information on the product category, capacity, material, filling method, launch date, and reference materials. Meilin will discuss suitable bottle designs, packaging, and implementation strategies based on the specifics of your project.
