How to Choose the Right PET Bottle for Your Juice Brand

## Choosing the Perfect PET Bottle for Your Juice Brand Starting a juice brand is exciting, but choosing the right bottle can make or break your product's success on the shelf. The bottle isn't just packaging — it's your brand's first impression. ### Why PET Plastic for Juice? PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) has become the industry standard for juice packaging, and for good reason: - **Crystal clarity** — PET offers glass-like transparency, showcasing your juice's natural colors - **Lightweight** — 90% lighter than glass, reducing shipping costs significantly - **Shatterproof** — No breakage risk during transport or in stores - **FDA-compliant** — Approved for food contact, BPA-free - **Recyclable** — #1 plastic, the most widely recycled plastic type ### Key Factors to Consider #### 1. Size Matters Think about your target consumer and price point: - **10oz (296ml)** — Perfect for juice shots, wellness drinks, and premium single-serve - **14.5-16oz (430-473ml)** — The sweet spot for cold-pressed juice, single-serve - **500ml (16.9oz)** — Standard single-serve, familiar size for consumers - **700ml (23.7oz)** — Large single-serve, great for meal replacement juices - **1L (33.8oz)** — Family size, value packaging #### 2. Neck Finish The neck finish determines what caps you can use: - **38mm Wide Mouth** — Best for thick juices, smoothies, easy drinking - **28mm Standard** — Works with most capping equipment, wide cap selection #### 3. Shape & Shelf Presence Your bottle shape communicates your brand's personality: - **Round** — Classic, versatile, efficient for production - **Square** — Premium feel, excellent label space, efficient packing - **Bullet/Tapered** — Modern, distinctive, great shelf standout ### Our Recommendation For most startup juice brands, we recommend starting with our **436ml Wide Mouth Juice Bottle**.
