BOTTLES

FUNCTIONALITY OF BOTTLES

 A bottle is a rigid container with a neck that is narrower than the body and

a mouth.

 A bottle is a container that is used to hold water, milk, soft drinks, beer,

wine, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, ink, chemicals, beverages for

consumption. The use of a water bottle allows an individual to transport,

and drink, a beverage from one place to another.

Strength of bottles

 Plastic bottles :- The main advantage that plastic bottles have over glass is

their superior resistance to breakage, in both production and transportation. But, at

the same time, they are non-degraded and cause environmental problems. They are

durable, lightweight, provide product protection.

 Glass bottles :- Glass containers are relatively heavy. Also, glass is fragile, and

breakage sometimes occurs during handling and transport. Glass containers do not

interact with or alter the taste, odour or composition of the products they contain.

 Steel Bottles :- These water bottles have been increasing in popularity for

years now. This is chiefly due to the fact that they are safe and convenient

for most people. They are considered safe because they are free of BPA, a

chemical substance. These bottles have added strength, resilience and

durability that enable them to stand the test of time.

 Glass Bottles :-Glass bottles are all made of ‘glass’ which is silicon dioxide

(SiO2) with various trace elements. Are commonly made with a

combination of various oxides or oxygen-based compounds and are

commonly referred to as “soda-lime” glass. The combining of raw

materials, including sand, soda ash, limestone and cullet and various

additives, including those used to colour brown, green or blue bottles.

Ergonomics Of Bottles

 The factors which is responsible for designing any bottle is opening of bottle, bottle

diameter, shape of bottle, type of closure,& ridges around the bottle, material used.

All these these factors are responsible for making the product ergonomically suitable.

 Surface design :- Ridges or reinforcement rings are the example of surface design on

bottles. It has aesthetical as well as functional purposes. It provides better grip to hold

the bottle and strength to the bottle.

 Ease of opening cap :- The bottle top or lid has been designed with tiny lines or

bumps around the edges so that it can help a user open the bottle when they want to

drink or fill it up.

 (^) Opening hole :- Smaller opening also regulates the optimum amount of water to pass, which prevents the consumers from choking of waters.28mm opening is considered as a standard opening of bottle across the world.  (^) Bottle with best middle grip :- Is also named as bottle with a feminine waist .The plastic bottle has a body that is cylindrical between the bottom of the bottle and the shoulder area, and is provided with reinforcing rings for better grip.  (^) Diameter of the bottle :- Lesser the diameter of bottle more is the grip or surface contact which prevents the bottle to slip out of the hand.

 (^) Aluminium bottles :- They are resistant, and lighter than steel bottles. Because aluminium can leach into liquids, a liner has to be applied inside the bottle. In some cases that liner can be a resin that has been shown to contain BPA.  (^) Glass Bottles :- Glass is stable at a wide range of temperatures, and will not leak chemicals into your water.

Cost Of Bottles

 The cost of various types of bottles depends on various factors like raw materials,

utility cost( power, air and water), labour cost and maintenance cost.

 Plastic bottles are generally the least expensive and they offer a variety of options

for displaying your logo or images.

 When you opt for custom bottles made of glass, cost can play an important role.

• (^) Small in size
• (^) Easy to carry in your bags ,

pockets

• (^) Good appearance
• (^) Steel bottles in different

colours ,patters.

Sustainability Of Bottles Stainless steel :-

• 100% recyclable.
• (^) Over 60% average amount of recycled content in stainless steel.
• (^) 1 stainless steel bottle is equal to50 plastic bottles in energy consumption in manufacturing. Glass Bottle:-
• (^) 4,000 number of years it takes for modern glass to decompose –longer if it’s in a landfill.
• (^) 10% energy savings and preserves the life of the glass furnaces if glass is recycled.
• (^) Glass bottling produces similar carbon emission as PET plastic bottle.
• (^) 50% energy used to recycle a glass than to make a new glass.
