Selection checks
These are the main points to check before asking for a quote. They help avoid a filler that looks suitable on a catalogue page but fails in real production.
- Confirm whether 500ml is the only fill size or one of several formats.
- Check bottle neck opening, shoulder shape and stability.
- Review product flow, foam, drip and cleaning needs.
- Decide whether capping and labelling are manual or inline.
