Each plastic suits different products. Here are the main differences to help you pick the right container.
The material of a container affects how well it protects the product, how it looks and what it costs. Here is a quick look at the three most common packaging plastics.
HDPE — high-density polyethylene
Strong and resistant to many chemicals, so it is widely used for detergent bottles, jerrycans and some pharmaceutical containers.
PET — polyethylene terephthalate
Clear, light and glossy — a good fit for syrups, liquids and personal-care products.
PP — polypropylene
Handles heat well, which makes it a common choice for caps and food containers.
