BaseLite
A lighter approach to PET preform design.
BaseLite
PET preform technology
BaseLite is a PET preform design approach focused on reducing unnecessary material, particularly in the base, while maintaining the performance required for stretch blow moulding. By combining a longer, thinner geometry with a lighter base design, BaseLite can reduce preform weight and reheating requirements.
AT LEAST 3%
WEIGHT REDUCTION
Designed to remove material from areas where conventional preforms may remain over-engineered - including already optimised designs.
REDUCED REHEATING
A lighter, more efficient preform geometry can reduce the energy and time required to bring the preform to blowing temperature.
APPLICABLE TO
EXISTING FORMATS
The principle can be applied to existing bottle formats and preform families without requiring an entirely new packaging concept.
Less material. Less reheating. More efficient preform design.
