What should we pay attention to before producing customized bottled water?
Confirm the quantity of customized bottled water
The bottled water manufacturers can confirm the amount of customized bottled water with customers according to the efficiency of the current production line and customer requirements. Generally, more is better.
Confirm the bottle shape design
The bottle shape is a critical part of bottled water manufacturers. For small batches of customized water, it is best to let customers choose the bottle shape design of the current production line, through the label pattern to reflect the customization. Changing the bottle shape design will result in the replacement of molds and some parts of our production line equipment, such as the mold of the blowing machine, the star wheel of the filling machine, the center guides pillar of the labeling machine, and the baffle of the film packaging machine, etc.
Bottle-blowing machine mold
The bottle-blowing machine manufacturer makes the bottle mold of the bottle-blowing machine according to the bottle design drawings, and mold production requires a series of processes like forging, polishing, etc. Generally, mold production requires 30 working days after receiving the signed drawing of the customer’s bottle design. In addition to taking time to make the mold, replacing the bottle mold on the bottle-blowing machine also takes time, which also takes 1-2 hours for skilled engineers.
Confirm the bottle caps
The cap for customized water should be the same as the cap of the original production line. Otherwise, we must replace the capping mold, caps-down device, and other parts. The capping mold is the mold inside the capping head, which is customized according to the caps. In addition to subtle differences in bottle cap size, there are differences in internal and external threads for different manufacturers’ caps.
Confirm the labeling method
We must confirm the labeling method with the customer besides the label design. At present, the labeling methods of bottled water on the market mainly include shrink labels, self-adhesive labels, and hot melt OPP labels. We can recommend customers choose the corresponding labeling method based on the existing labeling equipment in the workshop.
Confirm the packaging method
PE film packing
PE film has transparent film and customized color film. Transparent film is a cost-effective packaging method, and the color-customized film packing machine differs from the transparent film packaging machines in that it must consider the positioning.
Carton packing
Ordinary carton packing machine
One-plate type carton packing machine
Half-carton carton packing machine
Confirm the provider of raw materials
In addition to confirming the above details, we’d better confirm with the customer who will provide the raw materials for customized bottled water. The raw material includes bottle preform, bottle caps, labels, and packing film/packing cartons.
