Packaging Materials Used in the Automotive Industry

At Kaufman Container, we offer a comprehensive selection of material options tailored to meet the specific demands of automotive applications. Our materials include high-quality HDPE, PET, and PVC, ensuring durability and reliability for every product. 

PET, HDPE, and PVC plastics are preferred for automotive packaging due to their specific advantages.

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate):

• Clarity and Transparency: Enhances product visibility.
• Barrier Properties: Protects against oxygen and maintains product freshness.
• Lightweight and Shatter-Resistant: Minimizes breakage risk during handling.
• Recyclability: Widely recycled, promoting environmental responsibility.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene):

• Strength and Durability: Resistant to impact and chemicals, ideal for automotive fluids.
• Chemical Resistance: Ensures product stability and integrity.
• Lightweight: Reduces transportation costs and improves handling efficiency.
• Recyclability: Supports sustainability goals.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride):

• Versatility: Adaptability for various automotive applications.
• Chemical Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments and chemical compatibility.
• Durability: Withstands tough conditions for long-term storage.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Offers value without compromising performance.

These plastics provide tailored solutions for packaging automotive fluids, additives, and care products, ensuring durability, chemical compatibility, and sustainability across the supply chain.

Range of Packaging Options

Our extensive catalog for packing in the automotive industry features an array of bottle types, jugs, tubes, and closures.

• Plastic Bottles: Choose from traditional plastic bottles and specialized ribbed-sided designs.  Ribbed-sided containers offer several benefits specifically enhanced grip and handling, increased structural integrity, improved stacking stability, and visual differentiation and branding.
• Jugs: Available in round and F-style configurations for secure containment of bulk liquids. The benefits of jugs offer a large capacity, robust and secure construction, ease of pouring, stacking efficiency, easy surface for labeling and branding,  and versatility.
• Trigger Sprayer Bottles: Trigger sprayer bottles provide controlled dispensing, allowing users to apply automotive cleaners, polishes, and detailing products precisely where needed. This ensures efficient use and minimizes waste. For precise dispensing, many trigger sprayers are equipped with locking mechanisms to prevent accidental spraying, ensuring safety during storage and transportation. They also typically feature comfortable grips for prolonged use.
• Bettix Dosing Bottles: Bettix bottles are designed with a built-in dosing chamber and a dual-spout closure system. This allows precise measurement and dispensing of liquids, which is critical for automotive products like fuel additives, cleaners, and concentrated fluids where precise mixing ratios are necessary. The dual-spout closure of Bettix bottles simplifies the dispensing process. Users can easily squeeze the bottle to draw liquid into the dosing chamber and then pour it accurately into the desired container or reservoir without the need for additional measuring tools. By providing exact measurements with each use, Bettix bottles help minimize product waste. This is beneficial for both consumers and manufacturers, as it ensures efficient use of expensive additives or concentrates.
• Tubes: Tubes offer a space-efficient packaging solution for automotive sealants, adhesives, and greases, minimizing storage space and facilitating organization in workshops and garages. 

  Tubes with nozzle caps or applicator tips allow precise dispensing of automotive fluids and pastes, ensuring controlled application without mess or waste. Tubes are convenient for single-use applications or for products that require occasional use, offering quick access to small amounts of automotive lubricants, adhesives, or touch-up paints.

Versatile Closure Solutions

Enhance functionality and convenience with our versatile closure options:

• Continuous Thread Caps: Ensuring secure sealing for various bottle types.
• Child-Resistant Closures: Designed for safety and compliance.
