Synopsis
In the bottled-water industry, the quality of the product is second only to the quality of the contents. To ensure the container integrity, the packaging specialist should know about the quality issues at the bottle manufacturer’s facility and at the water bottling plant. The three most common plastic water bottles are made from polycarbonate, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymers. The PC bottle is returnable, while the HDPE and PET bottles are single service containers. These plastic containers are blow-molded. The complexity of the molding operation requires the development and implementation of a good preventative maintenance program by the bottle manufacturer. The aesthetic standards of the container demand a strong assurance program from the water bottling facility (The end user). This paper discusses the quality concerns at both locations.
