Providing a Multitude of Options
PET containers are manufactured in a single-stage or a two-stage process. The single-stage process combines the injection molding and blow process of preforms. The two-stage process has a separate injection process for the preforms, and a separate blow-molding process in which the preform is stretched and blown to give the container its final shape.
There are several technologies that can be utilized in the development of PET blow-molded containers depending upon the intended function of the package. In many cases more than one technology is used. Graham’s technologies are all patented and proprietary and include the following:
- Active Cage®
- CPTX-312
- Escape®
- G-Lite®
- Monosorb®
- SlingShot™
