FAQ

Your questions about our PET bottles

Answers to the questions olive oil packers ask us most often. Something else? Get in touch.

Are 3P bottles suitable for food contact?

Virgin material intended for food contact. Declaration of conformity (Regulation (EU) No 10/2011) on request. The food-contact symbol is moulded into the base of every bottle.

Why choose PET rather than glass for olive oil?

Much lighter than glass: fewer breakages on the line, in transit and on the shelf, and lighter export freight. The range's PET is recyclable. Glass remains the tighter gas barrier: confirm your oil's shelf life with trials.

Read the PET or glass guide

Which tint best protects oil from light?

Dark tints (black, amber, olive green) limit the oil's exposure to light. Tints are indicative: a physical swatch book is available on request. Other tints depending on volume.

Do all the bottles take the same cap?

All eight bottles share the same neck. One cap to stock, no capping changeover on your line. The FT21/29 pourer is an attached flip-top in PP (polypropylene), with a Ø 8 mm opening.

Does the FT21/29 cap fit glass bottles?

Compatible with glass bottles with a matching neck finish. Confirm the neck drawing and a sample with 3P before ordering.

Can you make a custom bottle?

3P studies three levels of customisation: a specific tint on a model from the range, a new shape on the 3P neck (compatible with the FT21/29 cap), or a fully custom bottle. Each project starts with a brief and a feasibility review, then a drawing to approve before the mould and samples are made.

Describe my project
