PET jar – glass alternative
| Customer: | One of the largest pickled fish producers in the Baltic States that traditionally used glass jars for pickling |
| Task: | Help the customer develop light-weight container for herring, suitable for export |
| Challenges: | ✓ Make the jar neck compatible with standard aluminium cap ✓ Come up with jar design that would seem like glass ✓ Ensure that oily marinade does not leak from the inside |
| Solution: | ✓ Customized wide mouth preform with glass-like neck was engineered ✓ A number of different jar visualizations were produced and the customer chose the best design for them ✓ Induction sealing was proposed as an added safety measure ✓ The weight of the package was reduced 10 times |
