Injection moulding specialist Patterson and Rothwell has developed a method for manufacturing “the thinnest wall PET on the market”, which will be used to create premium dessert pots for the food industry. With a wall thickness of between 0.8mm and 1mm – up to 0.4mm thinner than the previous thinnest option – the recyclable pots will meet a need for elegant packaging in the premium dessert sector. They are available in a range of shapes and sizes for yogurts, mousses and other desserts. The pots are injection moulded using a unique multi-cavity, “all electric” method that allows the manufacturer to create the walls so thin.
