Glass vs PET bottles
Glass: premium feel, infinite recyclability, fragile, 8-10x heavier shipping. PET: lightweight, shatter-proof, recyclable but lower premium tier, requires rPET for ESG-grade programs.
Glass — premium and circular
Lead-free glass branded bottles deliver a premium hand-feel, no flavour migration, and infinite recyclability without quality loss. Suited to executive gifts, hospitality giveaways, and heritage-brand merch. Decoration: laser-frosting, sand-etching, screen-print, and pad-print. Shipping cost is 8-10x PET equivalent; breakage rate 2-3% in distribution.
PET — light and durable
PET (or rPET for recycled content) branded bottles are shatter-proof, lightweight, and cost-efficient at scale. Suited to sports events, conference giveaways, and high-volume staff hydration programs. Decoration: full-wrap shrink-sleeve, screen-print, label-printed. rPET grade qualifies for GRS-certified ESG programs; standard PET is recyclable but lower-tier.
