Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so that the packaging is often less than ergonomic. Superior to capital-intensive multilayer preforms, the light blocking additive can easily be added to PET using a single-stage process for monolayer bottles, resulting in lower machinery costs and no loss in light blocking performance.
