PET Engineering’s Research & Development team has perfected what it claims is a revolutionary lightweight 500ml bottle that uses only 6.6g of PET.

The new Bottle Fly lightweight bottles has been designed with a weight distribution and thickness that guarantees that it can withstand all the rigours of the production process and treatment throughout the supply chain.

It features a geometrical shape with stiffened ribs, shoulder and bottom, and has horizontal rings that make handling easier. It is said to have excellent resistance to axial load, which protects it during distribution and transport on multilevel pallets.

According to PET Engineering, Bottle Fly is suitable for use in all modern filling lines and is compatible with several cap variants.
