## 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.
### Why PET Plastic for Juice?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) has become the industry standard for juice packaging:
- **Crystal clarity** — glass-like transparency showcasing your juice's natural colors
- **Lightweight** — 90% lighter than glass, reducing shipping costs
- **Shatterproof** — No breakage risk during transport or in stores
- **Food-safe** — Approved for food contact, BPA-free
- **Recyclable** — #1 plastic, the most widely recycled type
### Key Factors to Consider
#### 1. Size Matters
- **10oz (296ml)** — Juice shots, wellness drinks, premium single-serve
- **14.5-16oz (430-473ml)** — Sweet spot for cold-pressed juice
- **500ml (16.9oz)** — Standard single-serve
- **700ml (23.7oz)** — Large single-serve, meal replacement
- **1L (33.8oz)** — Family size, value packaging
#### 2. Neck Finish
- **38mm Wide Mouth** — Best for thick juices, smoothies
- **28mm Standard** — Works with most capping equipment
#### 3. Shape & Shelf Presence
- **Round** — Classic, versatile, efficient
- **Square** — Premium feel, excellent label space
- **Bullet/Tapered** — Modern, distinctive
### Our Recommendation
For most startup juice brands, start with the **436ml Wide Mouth Juice Bottle**. Most popular size for cold-pressed juice with a 5,000-unit MOQ.
