Glass bottles have been used for thousands of years, with the exact date of their invention being difficult to determine. However, the earliest evidence of glass bottles dates back to around 1500 BCE in ancient Egypt.
These early glass bottles were hand-blown and used primarily for storing perfumes and precious oils. Over time, glass bottle production techniques improved, and they became more common for storing various liquids, including beverages.
Today, glass bottles are widely used for packaging a wide range of products due to their durability, versatility, and recyclability.
The development process of glass bottles has evolved over centuries. Now there are a variety of glass bottle molding methods, including:
- Blow and Blow: In this process, a gob of molten glass is dropped into a mold, and then compressed air is blown into the gob to expand it against the mold walls.
- Press and Blow: Here, a plunger is used to press the molten glass into the shape of the bottle, and then compressed air is used to give it the final shape.
- Narrow Neck Press and Blow: This method is similar to press and blow, but it is used for bottles with narrow necks, such as perfume bottles.
The above is a brief introduction to the history of glass bottles, for reference only. VIT Group hopes to bring you the most satisfactory packaging solution!
