If you are looking for a bottle manufacturer to package your products, you should be aware that there are many different kinds of plastics, bottles, closures and that some products also need to be packaged in bottles that meet FDA or legal requirements. Other important factors are:
- The right plastic bottles for different products – bottles used for water and other beverages are different from bottles used to package toiletries and pharmaceutical products.
- Appropriate closures – different industries require varied closures ranging from disc tops, dispensing closures, trigger sprays, flip-tops, push-pull lids, droppers, spouts and others.
- Colored plastics – plastic bottles can be made in a range of colors that may be opaque or clear. Some products are best packaged in clear containers, while others require more rigid plastics that are opaque.
- Printing and decorating – your plastic bottle manufacturer may or may not offer printing and decorating options. Some manufacturers simply offer wholesale readymade bottles and you have to get them printed and decorated and labeled on your own while others may be full service firms.
- Filling – certain products may need hot filling or filling in cleaned and/or sterilized bottles and your manufacturer should be able to guide you as to the right bottles for the filling that you require.
