Numerous processors of drinkable yogurts, other ready-to-drink (RTD) dairy beverages and RTD nondairy beverages rely on blow-molded bottles for their products. In many cases, these bottles are produced elsewhere and delivered to the processing facilities.

Single-serve beverages, such as drinkable yogurts, meet consumers’ needs for portable snacks. Dairy processors can buy beverage bottles or produce their own on blow molding machines.

New equipment is sized and priced for smaller dairies. Plus, dairy processors can lessen their carbon footprint by molding bottles from plastic resin or preforms.

On-site blow molding saves transportation costs because a truckload of resin or preforms can yield more containers than a truckload of finished milk jugs.
