There have been glass bottles in our country since ancient times. In the past, academic circles believed that glassware was very rare in ancient times and should only be owned and used by a few ruling classes. However, recent studies believe that ancient glassware is not difficult to produce and manufacture, but it is not easy to preserve, so it will be rare in later generations. Glass bottle is a traditional beverage packaging container in our country, and glass is also a kind of packaging material with a long history. With many packaging materials pouring into the market, glass containers still occupy an important position in beverage packaging, which is inseparable from its packaging characteristics that other packaging materials cannot replace.
The advantages of glass packaging containers in the packaging field:
1. The glass material has good barrier properties, which can prevent oxygen and other gases from attacking the contents, and at the same time prevent the volatile components of the contents from volatilizing in the atmosphere;
2, glass bottles can be used repeatedly, which can reduce packaging costs;
3, the glass can easily change the color and transparency;
4. The glass bottle is safe and hygienic, has good corrosion resistance and acid corrosion resistance, and has the advantages of heat resistance, pressure resistance, and cleaning resistance. It can be sterilized at high temperatures and can be stored at low temperatures. Suitable for packaging of acidic substances (such as vegetable juice drinks, etc.);
5. In addition, since glass bottles are suitable for the production of automatic filling production lines, the development of domestic glass bottle automatic filling technology and equipment is relatively mature, and the use of glass bottles for packaging fruit and vegetable juice beverages has certain production advantages in China.
It is precisely because of the many advantages of glass bottles that they have become the preferred packaging materials for many beverages such as beer, fruit tea, and jujube juice. 71% of the world’s beer is bottled in glass beer bottles, and China is also the country with the highest proportion of glass beer bottles in the world, accounting for 55% of the world’s glass beer bottles, exceeding 50 billion per year.
