BOTTLE BASICS

Bottles come in all shapes and sizes, glass or plastic and can hold liquid or solid products. Bottles can have a Surface Treatment to improve barrier properties, this is accomplished during the Fluorination process. Closures may have Tamper Evident safety features to indicate the package and contents are in its original condition.  Compatibility is important to ensure your product is safe in the container chosen, as some chemicals may degrade a container to the point of failure.  Flame treating provides the pre-decorating surface for printing or lebeling to adhere properly. When filling bottles the Head Space is an impartant factor as expansion may occur when products are shipped or introduced to cold or heat.
