Our minimum order for pet preforms is Half container (about 9 tonnes, LCL). One 20 ft container holds about 18 tonnes and a half container about 9 tonnes; both ship to South Africa, and a half container can share space with other products we supply. The exact quantity depends on size and packing and is confirmed in the quotation.

Yes. PET Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
