Most of the 1l PET bottles used by the edible oil industry in Europe or South America have a standard 29 / 21mm neck finish weighing 2.74g.
This neck finish was initially designed when PET bottles were first introduced to allow corresponding plastic closures to fit on glass and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bottles.
The cap is a tear-off band and can be opened in two directions, which is beneficial for both right and left-handed consumers.
Bericap stated that a private label vinegar producer had used its one-piece closure solution HC EV 29/21 for the latter’s vinegar essence.
