OPET DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
- CORNERS AND EDGES SHOULD BE DESIGNED WITH A RADIUS, NO SHARP BENDS
- EMBOSSING / DE-BOSSING FOR MOLDED IN BOTTLE DECORATION POSSIBLE
- DECORATION GENERALLY PRESSURE SENSITIVE LABEL DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN SILK SCREEN PRINTING OF PET
- COMPOUND CURVES ON DECO / LABEL AREAS MAKE DECORATION DIFFICULT
- TO UTILIZE EXISTING PREFORMS & PREFORM TOOLING, STRETCH RATIOS MUST BE EVALUATED
CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE IF A PREFORM WILL MANUFACTURE A BOTTLE
- Length Calculations (Axial)
- Preform Length x 2.25 Maximum
- Preform Length x 1.8 Minimum
- Preform Length is calculated from bottom of transfer bead to bottom of preform
- Width Calculations (Body)
- Preform Width x 4 Maximum
- Preform Width x 3 Minimum
- Calculation is based upon widest part of bottle to determine if preform will work
- Depth vs. Width Calculations for Oval Bottles
- Width of bottle can be no more than twice the depth
