Uniquely, the bottles incorporate olypropylene handles that are inserted into the mold, and the container is stretch-blown around it.

Plastic Engineering Technologies has been working in conjunction with Langer Juice on developing the offset-necked PET bottles with automatically attached handles for more than a year. The empty containers weigh 105 g, and the PP handles weigh 20 g. The new lighter-weight, recyclable packaging is designed to increase Langer’s offerings of lightweight, eco-friendly bottles.
