SR Packaging (SRP) has introduced an innovative squeezable PCR PE Bottle that delivers a premium tactile experience without the drawbacks of traditional manufacturing methods.

By eliminating a secondary process, this packaging solution offers brands a faster, more cost-effective way to achieve high-end aesthetics while prioritizing sustainability.

Co-Extrusion vs. Spray Coating

Traditionally, giving a plastic component a "soft-touch" feel on the fingertips required a surface spray coating. This secondary treatment adds a significant amount of cost to the project budget and extends the production timeline.

To solve this, SRP optimized the co-extrusion blow molding process. Instead of applying a secondary coat, SRP seamlessly integrates a thin, soft-touch plastic layer directly onto the surface of the PE bottle during molding. This creates the exact same sensorial tactile feel but completely bypasses the costly and time-consuming conventional spray coating process.

Key Advantages
  • Cost & Time Efficiency: Brands can now opt for a premium soft-touch effect at competitive prices and with significantly shorter lead times.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Furthering SRP's commitment to reducing plastic waste, the bottles are manufactured using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin, helping brands achieve their sustainable packaging goals.
  • Premium User Experience: The built-in outer layer provides a high-end, soothing sensation in the consumer's hands.
  • Highly Functional: Thanks to the natural flexibility of LDPE plastic, these co-extruded bottles are fully squeezable and user-friendly.
Product Specifications

Featuring a standard 24/410 neck size, these bottles are perfectly matched to accommodate a wide range of SRP's advanced dispensing solutions.
