PET preforms, which have a tube-like appearance, serve as a crucial intermediate stage before the manufacturing of bottles and jars. Interestingly, certain bottles of different shapes and sizes may share identical weight and mouth specifications in terms of diameter and thread. This means that one identical preform can be utilized to manufacture various shapes and capacities of bottles and jars. Young Shang, with its focus on producing bottles and jars as its main marketing item, also manufactures preforms for its own use.

With nearly half a century of experience in the preforms injection process, Young Shang is well-equipped to supply other bottles and jars manufacturers who may not be keen on developing their own preforms. Creating preforms requires higher accuracy and a greater initial investment compared to the subsequent processes of reheating, blowing, and stretching them to shape the finished product bottles and jars. Young Shang is confident in its ability to satisfy these other PET container manufacturers, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship based on trust and profit.

The Crystal-clear PET Cylinder has quickly gained popularity globally, giving it great growth potential among Young Shang’s product lineup. The cylinder comes with a large mouth (usually around 89 mm), large volume (usually around 1000 ml) and in various shapes (round, or square, or rhombus), making it a very good replacement for glass jars. Secondly, the 89mm neck is now an industry standard, which has standardized the production. Also, this size is a good fit for people to hold on to and can be widely used for household storage. As cylinder shapes can fill carton space completely, it is a better choice to reduce transportation cost, for labelling, and certainly suitable for high-end packaging application. Young Shang markets this product line best for large-scaled supermarkets, convenience stores, any individual shop ranging those offering cakes and cookies, for tea and scented tea, for grains and seasoning, for nut and dried food, and B2C E-commerce platforms.

P.E.T. CSD Jars

Aluminum is extracted and refined from mined bauxite ore, however it is a complicated, costly and energy-intensive process, as it takes an average of 14,000 kWh of electricity to produce one tons of aluminum.

In terms of temperatures, P.E.T. can be produced and extruded at around 250-300°C. Aluminum smelting requires temperatures over 1,000 °C.
