Impressions Packaging Offers
PET Bottles with Molded-In Frost Look
Given the demand for PET bottles having a high-end, frosted-glass look,
Impressions Packaging has added a frosted grade to its PET Glass line.
The frosted effect of thick-walled PET bottles is molded in, which eliminates
the high cost of spray painting bottles to create this effect.
This antique look is offered in frost green, blue and natural shades.
PET Glass* Frost Effect bottles are made by injection stretch blow molding
for use in the health and beauty aid, cosmetic, spa, specialty consumer
and other applications. The company gains this look using a new masterbatch
from Ampacet, the leading supplier of custom-color and special-effect
masterbatches. Ampacet, Tarrytown, N.Y., offers the broadest range of
custom color, special effect, black, white and specialty additive masterbatches
for extrusion, molding and a multitude of other processes and applications.
“Combining our heavy-wall PET bottles with the vintage look of internally
frosted glass provides an especially attractive look and feel”,
said Rob Hyams, vice president and principal at Impressions Packaging.
“These bottles combine the safety of plastic with the clean, premium
appearance of frosted or sandblasted flint glass. The molded-in, frost-effect
avoids the time and expense of a secondary coating step and the need for
special handling to prevent damage to the coating.”

New thick-walled PET bottles from Impressions Packaging offer a molded-in,
frosted look for use in health and beauty aid, cosmetic, spa and specialty
consumer applications. The bottles, which are available in the company’s
PET Glass line, have the high-end appearance of vintage glass and come
in frost green, blue and natural shades. The molded-in effect eliminates
the need to spray paint a frosted appearance on the bottles. See photo
shown at right for product packaging detail.
As heavy-wall bottles having about twice the wall thickness of commodity
PET bottles, PET Glass containers are virtually nonsqueezable and have
the appearance of glass. They offer excellent depth of color, improved
shelf life, high durability, and more consistent hot stamping and silk
screening with minimal scrap, smudges or voids. When used in place of
glass packaging, they lower shipping costs and reduce liability issues.
They are available in standard rounds and cylinders in capacities of 100
to 240 ml (3.3 to 8.0 oz.), as well as in specialty colors and custom
shapes.
