42g 38-VAJ PET Preform

What this packaging is

A 38mm VAJ neck finish and 42-gram cylindrical body make this PET preform a workhorse for high-volume beverage production. The 42g 38-VAJ PET Preform is designed for blow-molding into single-serve and multi-serve bottles across water, juice, and ready-to-drink categories. Its threaded VAJ neck is compatible with a wide range of standard beverage closures, so brand teams can diversify SKUs without juggling multiple preform specs. Made in the USA, it integrates cleanly into automated production lines and cuts down on supply chain complexity. Custom color options are available with an 8-week lead time.

Why brands choose this

• VAJ neck compatibility spans your entire closure library: The 38mm VAJ neck finish works with a wide range of standard beverage closures, meaning brand teams can develop multiple bottle SKUs — water, juice, RTD — from a single preform spec without sourcing new components for each format.
• Domestic manufacturing keeps your production schedule on track: Made in the USA, this preform reduces import lead times and simplifies logistics for brands running high-volume, time-sensitive beverage production. Less time in transit means fewer disruptions on the line.
• Custom color options open real brand differentiation: In a category where shelf standout is hard to win, the ability to run custom-colored preforms — available with an 8-week lead time — gives brand teams a concrete lever for visual identity without switching suppliers or specifications.
