To Convert or Not to Convert
The decision to convert to a new package is significant due to cost, possible line changes and marketing and/or branding issues. Products in glass and multi-layer plastic are being converted to Constar’s high barrier, monolayer PET containers. Reasons vary, but at the top of the list are sustainability gains, retailer preferences, shelf-life up to 24 months, clarity comparable to glass, and consumer benefits such as convenience, portability, and a non-breakable format.

Hot Fill Technologies
Creating packaging solutions for hot fill beverages and foods demands special knowledge of processing technologies. Constar expertise and patents enable us to design, develop, and manufacture PET bottles and jars that withstand hot fill processes used in packaging shelf stable foods and beverages. Our advanced technical and design capabilities allow us to produce innovative, value-adding packages that enable brand owners, private label manufacturers, and retailers to deliver value to consumers in the form of sustainable, lightweight, unbreakable, and attractive PET packaging that withstands the rigors of the hot fill process.
Constar has developed a variety of next-generation hot-fill containers that allow for creative designs without the limitations imposed by traditional vacuum compensation features. These “panel-less” designs are available in stock as well as custom bottles and jars.
