Glass is a nonmetallic, inorganic material that can be made to be transparent or translucent as well as hard and brittle, making it a popular choice for both practical and decorative containers.

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.
