For as long as PET has been used in the beverage market, our team has been involved. For us it’s a way of life. Our skills come from years of experience, training, and in some cases have been handed down father to son! We understand our material, and we know how to get more from our machines than the machine manufacturers. We can design bespoke preforms to get the most value out of your process, or we can design containers from existing preforms that support your brand and supply chain. Your pack is not just a bottle or jar, it’s an integral part of what you offer your clients; how you present your brand; how you manufacture your product, and how you support your retail outlets.

Next Production equipment We offer two different approaches, each with their own benefits Described as single stage and two stage, both processes have specific advantages that make them suitable for different applications. SINGLE STAGE Injection & Blow Moulding as an integrated process Our single stage equipment is perfectly suited to smaller neck sizes. We produce a variety of 24mm bottles for the personal care and toiletries market. The process sees the preform injection moulded, then immediately transferred within the machine to the blow moulding station. This process produces a high quality finish and is suitable for smaller production runs. TWO STAGE Injection and Blow Moulding processes separated Our state of the art two stage equipment, first injection moulds a standard range of preforms, and then takes the most appropriate preform weight and shape to blow mould the required container as a second process. This system maximises the efficiencies of both processes and is particularly suitable for the larger scale production required by the food and beverage markets. back to top Sustainability Environment Employees Health & Safety Community Legal Privacy & Cookies Legal Sign up to our newsletter Subscribe +44 (0) 1584 810600 sales.orders@esterform.com Copyright 2021 Esterform Ltd Registered in England Registered Office: Boraston Lane Burford Tenbury Wells WR15 8LE Registered Number 3627281 Web Design Services by Authentic Style
