New Amcor Packaging
heat set PET bottles
Amcor PET Packaging announces additions of four new bottle sizes to its
stock heat set polyethylene terephthalate line.
The new sizes are a panel-less, rectangular gallon and single-serve 500
ml (16.9 ounces), 12- and 10-ounce bottles.
The gallon is the first rectangular, stock polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) heat-set container in this size to be offered to the U.S. market.
It offers several benefits over other commercially available round stock
gallon shapes including improved cube efficiency and a pinch-grip feature.

The rectangular shape enables a more efficient “cubing” or
palletizing of the bottle vs. round gallons. It also provides a wider
front facing for greater shelf impact. The pinch-grip feature offers the
consumer easier handling and pouring when compared to round alternatives.

“The rectangular gallon is designed to absorb vacuum across the
entire surface of the bottle, including the base. Moreover, it can be
hot filled up to 187 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a few degrees higher
than most of the hot fill bottles currently on the market. This can make
a difference for some bottlers,” says Len Zabinko, vice president,
custom beverage market and technology, Amcor PET Packaging.
The smaller 10- and 12-ounce sizes mark the development of a new, lighter
weight, patented five-panel design which offers an alternative to traditional
six-panel stock bottles. The five panel design minimizes “ovalization”
which can occur after a standard hot fill, six-panel bottle is cooled
and subjected to the affects of vacuum. Also patented enhancements to
the bottles’ rib structure further enhance top load performance
and stability.
Rounding out the line is a new 500 ml bottle which has been launched as
a response to requests from functional water customers for a stock bottle
in this size.
Ideal applications for the new sizes include juices, isotonics, teas,
functional waters and other beverages which require hot-filling and a
differentiated market presence.
The four new heat-set sizes join the rest of Amcor’s stock heat
set family which includes a round gallon, 96-, 64- and 46/48-, 32-, 20-,
16- and 8-ounce sizes. (Some sizes have more than one design/profile option.)
