500ml Tear Drop Water PET Bottle - (Pack of 100 units)
The PackNet 500ml Tear Drop Water PET Bottle gives water and beverage producers a way to stand out on shelf without changing their filling line. The distinctive tear drop profile is immediately recognisable as something different from the rows of standard cylindrical bottles - and differentiation at shelf level is one of the most cost-effective tools an independent water brand has. The PCO 1810 neck means it is rated for both still and carbonated applications.
Shelf Differentiation Through Bottle Design
The tear drop shape is not just aesthetic. The wider base tapers upward toward a narrower shoulder, which creates a natural ergonomic grip point for the hand. The tapered profile also adds structural rigidity through geometry — the curved walls distribute stress more evenly than flat-sided bottles under internal carbonation pressure. This is why premium water brands pay for distinctive bottle shapes: the shape itself communicates quality before the consumer reads a single word.

FAQ
Q: What makes the tear drop bottle different from a standard cylindrical water bottle?

Q: Is this bottle rated for sparkling water?
A: Yes. The 28mm PCO 1810 neck is the international standard for carbonated beverage bottles. Use with PCO 1810-rated closures for sparkling water and carbonated soft drinks.
