Choosing plastic containers is not just a matter of design. The material, capacity, and type of product you will contain are key factors in finding the right one. At Plastimex we have different models of plastic containers designed to meet the needs of different industries. Learn about some of the most relevant options.
PET or HDPE: Which do you need?
Two of the most commonly used materials in the manufacture of plastic containers are PET and HDPE, each with characteristics that make them suitable for different applications.
- PET: Transparent and lightweight. It is used mainly in food, beverages, cosmetics, natural products and pharmaceuticals.
- HDPE: Rigid and resistant, which is why it is widely used in cleaning products, agrochemicals, lubricants and chemicals.
Plastic container models for every industry
Food and beverages
Models such as Multimax and Multiusos are ideal for different types of beverages; however, for candies and seeds the Maxi-Light adapts well.
Cosmetics and natural products
If you are looking for containers for samples, travel presentations or pocket-sized products, the Max-60 and Max-120 are a practical option.
Among the plastic containers perfect for creams, lotions, gels, tonics or soaps we find models such as Cylindrical, Oval and Campana, or Silueta for shampoo and conditioner.
Chemicals, agrochemicals and cleaning products
In this industry, the container must respond to the characteristics of the product it contains. For agrochemical and chemical products, the Misil is quite commonly used. Larger volume presentations prefer models such as the Garrafa and Cylindrical Garrafa.
If you need to apply cleaning products in a practical way, the Trigger is ideal, while the Canister is designed for products such as wet wipes.
Supplements and pharmaceuticals
For powdered products such as supplements or electrolytes, the Cubeta is a functional option.
If you are looking for a container for pills, vitamins or capsules, the Misil 250 ml is a practical alternative for this type of products.
Industrial distribution in large volumes
When there are products that require distribution in large quantities, models such as the Gallon (3.78 L) or Bidon and Supertank (both available in capacities of 5, 10 and 20 liters) are a great option.
For a 5-liter presentation with a different design, the Holdmax Garrafa is another alternative to consider.
How to choose the right plastic containers?
Before choosing one among several models of plastic containers, consider these four aspects:
- Chemical compatibility: The container material must be suitable for the product it will contain. Requesting a sample and performing compatibility tests can help you make a better decision.
- Capacity: Choose the size according to your product needs and those of your customers.
- Closure: Verify that the diameter of the container neck is compatible with the cap or dispenser you will use.
- Technical specifications: Review the technical data sheets of the container and make sure to work with a supplier that has quality processes backed by the corresponding certifications.
At Plastimex you can request samples of our containers and learn about their specifications to find the option suitable for your product. In addition, our quality processes are endorsed under the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
