Plastic bottles are typically formed by blow molding, although there are many techniques. The four main plastics used in the manufacture of bottles are PET, PP, LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) or HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). Each type has unique properties that determine how it can be shaped to create a bottle.
The neck is the part of a bottle that connects the body and base. It is also the most important part for a bottle’s strength. It is the area where the bottle’s shape is formed, and where the neck ring meets the finish. The neck ring is a flat surface that makes contact with the closure to form a seal and prevents leakage.
Bottles are manufactured through a number of processes, including injection and extrusion blow molding. The most common technique for manufacturing PET bottles is injection blow molding. The molded bottles are then formed into shapes using a machine called an ejector, which pushes air against the bottle to expand it. This process produces high-quality, cost-effective, and durable bottles for a variety of applications.
