Less does not guarantee success
Simply taking glass out of an existing design is an over simplified approach to the market’s current push for green or lightweighted packaging. Glass removal must be strategically targeted to avoid performance issues and that the bottle meets the dimensional and volume requirements it is designed to handle.
Understanding the location and magnitude of stresses the bottle design must be capable of surviving during normal handling requires proper application of finite element analysis (FEA) and an thorough understanding of glass as a material.
Combining Impact Testing, FEA Impact Analysis and a Filling Line Audit is a proven game plan for optimizing the Lightweighting and cost savings process of a liquor bottle design while ensuring all performance parameters are met.
