Bottle application selector
Choose the mold path from the bottle, preform and closure program, not the application name alone.
Water, beverage, oil, cosmetic, large-container and wide-mouth projects can change part mass, neck geometry, cavity realism, machine demand and acceptance evidence.
Choose the product path
Each page below owns a different buyer decision. Select the closest program, then use the project drawing and samples to replace any remaining category assumptions.
Still-water preform program
Start with the approved preform and required line output, not bottle capacity alone.
Part basis: Approved lightweight preform
Closure: Neck and cap reviewed together
Output: Cavity selected from useful demand
Beverage performance program
Define the drink and filling condition before treating the preform as a beverage part.
First input: Drink and filling condition
Bottle duty: Still, pressure or heat exposure
Closure: Neck and cap system
Edible-oil packaging program
Calculate the heavier preform, closure and bottle geometry before selecting cavities.
Part mass: Often heavier than water
Bottle form: Grip or handle if applicable
Closure: Leak and cap compatibility
Cosmetic and personal-care packaging
Treat appearance, color and pump or closure fit as acceptance inputs from the start.
Visual: Color, clarity and gate
Closure: Pump, sprayer or cap fit
Program: SKU volume and changeovers
Large-container preform program
Prove the heavy part, exact injection unit and handling system before choosing a cavity count.
Part: Large and heavy preform
First check: Exact injection unit
Cavity: Kept open until calculation
Wide-mouth PET jar program
Freeze the jar opening and lid system before fixing the neck stack or cavity count.
Opening: Drawing-defined wide mouth
Closure: Lid and seal reviewed together
Layout: Neck geometry affects spacing
Application pages use real mold, preform and inspection photographs selected to match the buyer decision. Project drawings and samples define the final supplied configuration.
Application comparison
| Application | First decision | Mold and machine focus | Acceptance boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water bottle | Lightweight target and useful line output | Cavity balance, cooling, neck and cap | Weight by cavity, neck, gate and bottle boundary |
| Beverage bottle | Drink, filling and pressure condition | Preform distribution, closure and runner scope | Preform trial plus assigned bottle-performance checks |
| Oil bottle | Heavier shot, grip or handle and closure | Realistic cavity count, cooling and machine recovery | Weight, closure, leak and transport responsibility |
| Cosmetic bottle | Appearance, color and dispensing closure | Surface condition, changeovers and neck precision | Visual standard, color, closure fit and decoration boundary |
| 5 gallon | Heavy part and exact injection platform | Shot, plasticizing, cooling, opening and handling | Heavy-preform trial and downstream bottle responsibility |
| Wide mouth / PET jar | Complete neck and lid geometry | Neck-stack spacing, mold envelope and service access | Preform, lid fit, sealing and jar validation boundary |
Common project inputs
The application page narrows the questions. It does not replace the approved bottle, preform, closure and equipment basis.
Finished bottle drawing and filled-product condition
Approved preform drawing, weight, resin and color
Neck and closure drawing or controlled sample
Required saleable output and operating calendar
Exact injection and blowing machine information
Trial samples, bottle tests and approval responsibility
Application RFQ
Describe the bottle program first. The review can then identify which drawing, neck, output, machine and evidence details are still missing.
Buyer questions
Application gives context to weight, neck and closure, filling conditions, appearance, bottle tests, production volume and the realistic cavity and machine direction.
They share core mold inputs, but the approved bottle and filling requirements can differ. Carbonated use may introduce pressure-related bottle design and validation questions that should not be assumed for water.
Request source-confirmed preform, closure and bottle samples relevant to the application, plus the drawing, trial basis and responsibility for downstream bottle validation. A generic mold photograph is only a configuration reference.
Use the application page when bottle use drives the open questions. Use the broad product page when the main decision is the complete mold configuration and quotation boundary.
