At Bay Area bottles, we offer many types of different containers, but our core competency is plastic packer bottles. These bottles are used across a wide array of industries and have many benefits and applications.
What are plastic packer bottles?
Plastic packer bottles are a cylindrical shaped bottle with a wider than normal neck for easy dispensing of products such as pills, vitamins, tablets, gummies and more. These bottles are offered in PET as well as HDPE plastics and can be labeled or printed to establish a brand’s presence. These bottles are commonly referred to as Packer bottles, pill packers, and supplement bottles but all serve relatively the same purpose.
Why choose plastic packer bottles?
These bottles are an excellent choice for dry products, such as pills or supplements because they are easily dispensed out of the wider than normal neck. Proportionally speaking, the neck of the bottle is much wider than other types of containers. This is intentional so that the bottle can easily dispense products once the lid is removed, or with a supplement dispensing cap.
These bottles are rigid but flexible. Being offered in HDPE or PET plastics gives these containers a significant advantage of durability without the worry of cracking or breaking.
These packer bottles that are offered in plastics are more lightweight than their glass counterpart. The fact that they are lightweight gives this bottle a leg up on the competition by not only making it easier for the customer to handle, but its lightweight nature makes shipping costs much lower.
These bottles can be labeled or printed in a variety of different ways. The larger than normal landscape of the bottle offers ample space for a company to apply its branding and any other relevant information.
Certain types of plastic such as PET are excellent barriers against elements such as moisture, oxygen and UV light. This makes them an ideal candidate for any company with a product that needs to be shielded from such elements. Any type of gummy supplements, vitamins, or pharmaceuticals will benefit greatly from these Barrier properties.
These plastic packer bottles are offered in PET and HDPE which are 100% recyclable. When these bottles are coupled with 100% recyclable labels it makes an ideal choice for any customer that wants to decrease their carbon footprint. These bottles can be easily discarded in a recycle bin reducing the overall carbon footprint.
Types of plastic packer bottles
PET is one of the most used plastics in the container industry. It is known for its clarity when the color clear is needed for packaging. And it is also known for glossy finish when any other colors are applied. PET is durable and flexible and does not crack if accidentally dropped by the customer. This type of plastic also has barriers against UV light affecting the products inside.
HDPE bottles are ideal when a customer is looking for a Matt finish either in natural or white colors. HDPE plastic is also known for its durability against things like household chemicals, cleaning products, or any other types of industrial materials that might be even slightly corrosive.
Applications for plastic bottles
Plastic packer bottles are often used in the pharmaceutical industry to package pills or any other types of medications. Again, one of the common benefits of using this bottle for the pharmaceutical industry is the appeal of its wider than normal neck to dispense products easily.
These bottles are widely used in the nutraceutical industry to pack and dispense gummies, supplements, vitamins, and any other type of tablet or pill that needs a larger than normal neck to easily dispense products.
Conclusion
Plastic packer bottles are the ideal packaging solution when any customer is looking for a bottle that is highly customizable, needs industry compliance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. These bottles are not only less expensive per unit but are also cheaper to ship. This makes for a lower freight cost as well as a reduced overall carbon footprint.
