As an advancement in weight reduction, the co. has developed a lightweight 16-oz PET salad dressing bottle. The 16-oz Curve, a stock oblong container, weighs just 29.5g, almost 20-percent below industry standard (35.3g), the co. states. The bottle has a 33-mm finish with an oblong design and rectangular footprint that maximizes cube efficiency, therefore making the most of storage capacity on the pallet, in the warehouse, on the truck and, most importantly, on the shelf. Another key feature is the use of the co.’s modular mold program, which provides customized shapes and decorations at a significant cost savings over traditional tooling.
