Beverages are one of the most important commodities sold in today’s market. However, what many don’t know is that the container holding it is as important as the drink itself. There are many things to consider in finding the best beverage bottle, especially when it’s subjected to large-scale manufacturing. They must be calibrated and critiqued to meet industry standards and criteria since these bottles use to hold various beverages for human consumption. Keep reading to learn more!

Capacity

How much liquid you are planning on taking with you is a good place to start. When manufacturing bottles, you need to consider how much of the beverage is being poured into the drink the usual capacity standards for drinks in the Philippines are 250mL, 500 mL, 1 liter, or 1.5 liters.

Durability

Nobody, absolutely not a single person, wants a leaking beverage flask or bottle. This is why durability is vital when considering the bottle material. A beverage bottle used for storing water daily should at least last a few years. That’s why stainless steel is usually considered for these products.

On the other hand, plastic and aluminum bottles used to hold beverages for consumption should also be durable. These products should withstand transport and few drops without damaging the material. In the context of manufacturing, this is one of the quickest ways that the customer knows that they will get the best – beginning with the physical integrity of the product’s container.

Manufacturers ensure that bottles pass through a series of quality assurance tests, too. Some of these include vacuuming tests and irrigation static tests. Its impact and drop resistance is also checked since bottles experience lots of movement. These quality tests assure manufacturers that beverage bottles reach consumers in the same state they came out from their beverage processing equipment.

Safety

The quality of a beverage bottle should be the most important factor to consider. Manufacturers should never use plastics that contain BPA (bisphenol A) to hold beverages. This is a chemical that is toxic to humans. When exposed to them, it can lead to several diseases like diabetes and cancer.

The material chosen by many bottle manufacturing companies is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This is a plastic that contains not a single ounce of BPA, making it safe for human consumption. In the Philippines, the FDA has a strict set of regulations to follow for this, especially for bottled water.

Aside from PET, the safest option for beverage bottles is glass since it does not contain harmful chemicals compared to plastic and aluminum

Taste Integrity

The taste of drinks should never be sacrificed when put into its bottle. Its flavor should stay the same – consistent the moment it exits the bottle the same way it did when it first entered it. If possible, it could even be better, for example when it comes to aged wines.

On the other hand, reusable water bottles should be made of materials that don’t affect the drink it holds. Manufacturers should also ensure that bottles should not become hosts of unwanted bacteria that can alter the chemical composition of the drink as well as harm consumers.

Thermoregulation

For reusable water bottles, many consumers hope that their drinks remain the same temperature — hot drinks stay hot while cold drinks remain cold. It’s one of their criteria in selecting their bottles for easy use whether they use it to store tea, coffee, protein shakes, smoothies, or just regular water.

For this criteria, manufacturers should not consider bottles made from plastic or PET since it does not maintain the temperature of cold drink. It is also not able to handle high temperatures. Instead, stainless steel should be considered, as long as it is made in the right food grade.

Key Takeaways

This article summarized the many things to consider in finding the best beverage bottle. From capacity to thermoregulation, these all depend on what beverage is to be stored inside these bottles.
