FEASIBILITY STUDY
For GS4Plastic the feasibility study is a “must” and it has to respect the principles of lean thinking at every stage to optimize and reduce the cost of the finished product. The steps are the following:
Definition of the product’s features
Choice of the most suitable material and technology
Container and preform design
Estimation of the bottle’s weight
Estimation of the production’s cost
BOTTLES ENGINEERING
In over 22 years of experience, the team of GS4Plastic has developed many skills in the engineering of PET containers and bottles for various applications and it is now able to offer the following services:
Development of new design
Engineering of the container with a high optimization for a lightweighting results
Lightweighting projects on existing containers
Design of special containers (hot fill, with high grip handle or stackable bottles)
The engineering office of GS4Plastic is able to offer a complete design service, from the preform to the finished container, supporting the customer until the end of the prototyping process.
PREFORM ENGINEERING
GS4Plastic in addition to the study of the bottle can engineer the ideal preform with any type of neck and weight based on the chosen cap and the application of the container, respecting as much as possible the natural stretching ratios and the rheology of the various polymers, and optimizing the thicknesses in the important points of the preform. We carry out projects for preforms in PET, rPET, PEN, HDPE, PP, or other special polymers. GS4Plastic can therefore provide the engineering of preforms with any type of neck in different application areas:
CSD and beverage ( PCO 1881, Exalite, 29/25, 26/22)
Food (33/400, 38/400, Snap on 29/21 o 36/29, Corona, etc)
Detergent (24/410, 24/415, 28/410, 28/400, guala closure, etc)
Big mouth ( 53mm, 63 mm, 89 mm, )
Big containers ( PDC 55, Keg 78mm)
Specialties or New development (Aerosol, Pharma, etc)
Every project is guaranteed up to the prototyping and blow molding phase of container
PROTOTYPING
GS4Plastic within its own structure, in addition to the design, is also able to offer prototyping services for preforms and bottles in PET, rPET or PP or special compounds to offer a turnkey service from the idea to the final packaging for any type of application. Our assets are:
