Gizeh claims first with multicoloured PET bottles
German plastic packaging group Gizeh has produced multicoloured PET bottles on a conventional stretch blow moulding machine in what it claims to be a first.
The process, which has been achieved after what Gizeh called an “extensive” development and test phase, promises new optical and tactile effects for bottles, Gizeh said.
Until now, a statement from Gizeh said, multicolored PET bottles could only be produced on stretch blow moulding machines that have microwave heating.
However, the new process involves equipping a standard two-stage stretch blow moulder with infrared heating.
The bottles are produced from multi-component preforms developed by Inotech Kuststoff, another German plastics specialist.
Daniel Rüth, head of Gizeh PET, said: “This new technology opens up completely new optical and tactile design possibilities for PET bottles.”
“We tried out different design possibilities during the test runs and obtained very good results.
“The product offers great potential in particular for customers from the beverage and food industry as well as for cosmetics, household and technical liquids.”
