container planning question
How does PET bottle lightweighting affect a water bottling line?
Reducing bottle weight can change blowing stability, empty-bottle conveying, filler transfers, labeling, packing, pallet behavior and warm-distribution performance. Validate the complete package and line, not only resin savings.
