Small containers of approximately 5mL for pharmaceuticals, eye drops, samples, amenities and such like can be molded with greater precision than glass containers.
This molding technology goes one step further as well and enables the molding of containers with an internal neck diameter of as little as 5mm, or variable wall-thickness preforms for container ovalizing, while at the same time accurately heat conditioning the preform for highly precise stretch blowing.
Small containers are preferred in a relatively small number of applications. However, it is especially preferred in medicines, eye drops, product samples and hotel products.
When designing small containers, the functions required for a container must be clearly specified, as these are custom-sized containers.
The minimum possible capacity of such containers is 2mL.
