Preforms for CSD / Carbonated Drinks

Our solutions for the CSD market range from lightweight PET preforms and bottles for mainstream sodas to multi-serve formats engineered for CO₂ retention.

When you bottle carbonated drinks, you can’t afford the risks that trigger complaints or stoppages. Any micro-leak means CO₂ loss and flat taste, any neck-finish mismatch or torque drift causes seepage, and uncontrolled lightweighting can reduce top-load and creep resistance during distribution.

At the same time, you need global neck standards, full compliance documents, and secured capacity—all while keeping your current blowing and filling settings intact.

Real-world issues often trace to packaging variables, not the recipe: neck ovalization, improper closure torque, liner compatibility, uneven wall distribution from heating, or pressure creep under load.

We respond by building to neck tolerances with GO/NO-GO gauges, verifying torque windows and leak tests, aligning blowing windows for high-speed stability, and running CO₂ retention / pressure-hold checks so your product performs as designed.

Bottled CSD — PET Preforms & Bottles

With PCO 1881/1810 as mainstream finishes—and 28 mm BPF or 26/22 available on request—we match your closures and line format from 330–600 ml up to 1–2 L. Choose 100% virgin PET or up to 100% rPET (where permitted), and apply lightweighting that preserves top-load, creep resistance, and clarity.

We validate cap fit and sealing torque, support EU tethered-cap programs (typically keeping 1881), and ship export-ready with COA + full batch traceability—so start-ups are quick and downtime stays low.

At Enlightening Plast, preform geometry and reheat response are tuned for stable feed, even heating, and consistent stretch-blow on automatic or semi-automatic systems, helping you hold line speed with fewer adjustments.

Line Compatibility & CO₂ Retention

We protect carbonation with finish-to-cap system matching, torque window confirmation, and leak/pressure checks at agreed test points—giving you predictable sealing across warehouses, transport, and shelf.

For programs moving beyond PCO 1881/1810 (e.g., BPF or 26/22), we outline change-part requirements and coordinate drawings with your cap supplier to de-risk conversion.

Materials are specified with food-contact documentation and delivered with COA + barcode traceability. Our 5-ton resin MOQ aligns with economic batching; share your CO₂ level, bottle sizes, and gram-weight targets and we’ll return a 24–48 h spec match with samples and lead-time options.
