17.4g 38-400 PET Preform

What this packaging is

A 38-400 neck finish and 17.4g shot weight make this PET preform a reliable starting point for high-volume beverage bottle production. The 38mm diameter with a 400 thread profile ensures broad compatibility with standard screw-cap closures across water, juice, and carbonated beverage lines. Blow-molded into finished bottles, this cylindrical preform delivers consistent performance through filling, capping, and labeling operations. Made in the USA, it integrates cleanly into automated bottling environments where supply chain reliability matters. For brands building or scaling a beverage line, this preform offers a proven, specification-ready component that supports fast development cycles.

Why brands choose this

• USA manufacturing keeps beverage lines moving: Domestic production shortens lead times and reduces supply chain exposure — a real advantage for brands running continuous or high-volume bottling operations where component availability directly affects production uptime.
• 38-400 neck finish means broad closure compatibility: The 38mm diameter with a 400 thread profile is one of the most widely used neck finishes in beverage packaging, giving brand teams access to a deep library of standard screw caps without needing custom tooling or qualification work.
• 17.4g shot weight optimized for water, juice, and CSD: The preform's weight is spec'd for lightweight single-serve and mid-size beverage formats, aligning with the cost and material efficiency targets that matter most to buyers developing still or carbonated drink SKUs at scale.
