Key Advantages of PET “Cans” for Juice

1. Freshness & Shelf Life
   • Superior Oxygen Barrier: PET blocks oxygen better than many plastics, slowing juice oxidation (preserving taste, color, and vitamins like C).
   • UV Protection: Tinted or coated PET shields light-sensitive juices (e.g., citrus, tropical blends) to prevent nutrient degradation.
2. Visual Appeal & Consumer Trust
   • Transparency: Showcases vibrant juice colors and pulp texture, signaling freshness and natural ingredients.
   • No “Hidden” Additives: Clear packaging reassures health-focused buyers about purity (no artificial colors/sediment).
3. Convenience & Portability
   • Easy Pull-Tab Opening: Single-handed access (ideal for kids, on-the-go).
   • Lightweight & Unbreakable: 30–40% lighter than glass; perfect for lunchboxes, travel, or outdoor use.
   • Chill Retention: PET cools faster and shows condensation, enhancing “refreshing” perception.
4. Sustainability Edge
   • 100% Recyclable (#1 PET): Widely accepted in recycling streams globally.
   • Lower Carbon Footprint: Production emits ~50% less CO₂ vs. aluminum cans and 75% less vs. glass.
   • rPET Compatibility: Brands can use recycled content (e.g., 30–100% rPET) for eco-marketing.
5. Branding & Promotional Flexibility
   • High-Quality Printing: Labels/sleeves support vivid artwork for seasonal flavors (e.g., summer citrus) or collabs.
   • Shelf Impact: Unique shapes (square, slim) stand out vs. traditional cans/bottles.
   • QR Codes/AR Integration: Link to nutrition facts, recipes, or sustainability stories.
6. Supply Chain Efficiency
   • Lower Shipping Costs: Lightweight design reduces fuel/transport emissions.
   • Stackable Design: Optimizes warehouse/retail space.
   • Shatter-Resistant: Cuts losses during handling vs. glass.
