60ml PET Bottle with Lid

Dry or wet, organic or chemical, products of all sorts can come packed in a PET container. The light and durable plastic makes for convenient and protective packaging for supplement capsules, superfood powders, lotions, creams, and more. However, keep in mind that proper testing is advisable to see if the material is suitable for your specific product.

True. PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate, which is a completely recyclable type of plastic. Your containers can get a new life in the packaging industry, but also in fashion or even industrial strapping.

PET is approved by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for use in food packaging. To keep your products in the best shape, store your containers in a cool and dry place.

Yes, but while PET plastic is impervious, not all types of caps for your container will provide a watertight seal. For liquids and water-based products, you might want to use EPE or induction liners rather than unlined caps or caps with pressure-sensitive (PS 22) liners.

Powders, pills, spices and other dry products will be perfectly preserved by the PS 22 liner. It is not leakproof, though. The pressure-sensitive seal needs a dry land area to adhere to the bottle.

Commonly used to avoid leakage, the EPE is a cost-effective cap liner. It’s best for liquids and water-based supplements. The EPE does not create an air barrier, so if you’re looking for this kind of seal, consider the heat induction liner.

The induction seal cap is the most secure and tamper-evident closure option for your products. The liner is applied to the container with the use of an induction sealing machine, which makes it impossible to re-apply once meddled with. This airtight and hermetic seal perfectly protects the freshness of pharmaceuticals (pills, tablets, capsules), personal care products (creams, gels, lotions), food (both dry & liquid), and more. The liner comes plain or printed with a custom message, such as “sealed for your protection”.

If you’re looking for a child-resistant cap (CRC), the pharmacy cap should be your choice. The user must push it down and twist to open, which makes it challenging for a child. Since this cap type is required for certain over-the-counter drugs, it is generally a good enough seal to protect from external contamination.
