Alpha Packaging has introduced a new style of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wide-mouth oblong in two popular sizes. The 225cc and 40cc oblong packers are ideal for nutritional supplements, vitamins, pain relievers and other forms of tablets and capsules sold over the counter.

Alpha will be featuring both sizes of the wide-mouth oblongs at SupplySide West and Natural Products Expo East. It will also introduce the 40cc size at the HBA Expo as part of a new line of travel-sized PET bottles.

The 225cc bottle features a 38-400 continuous thread neck finish and the 40cc bottle has a 28-400 neck. Alpha can provide closures for the bottles; closures are sold separately.

Alpha used existing preforms to build the new bottle styles in response to customers who wanted a flat label panel instead of the curved label area of traditional round packers. The bottles' rectangular base allows maximum label panel width for both sizes of wide-mouth oblongs.

Alpha is currently taking orders for both sizes of wide-mouth oblongs. The bottles will be stocked in white, but standard and custom colors are available with very short lead times. For more information, please visit AlphaÕs product catalog online at www.alphap.com.
