Glass bottles can be designed to accommodate higher pressures for products such as carbonated drinks, which is traditionally a high volume carbonation product. The level of carbonation will depend on design and wall thickness.
All carbonated soft drinks were packaged in glass bottles sealed with crown cork. This closure has a short skirt with 21 flutes which are crimped into locking position on the bottle head. The flutes are angled at 15° in order to maintain an efficient seal.
The bottles used in a glass bottle filling line can be either single-trip or returnable. Glass containers have the disadvantage of being breakable and sometimes heavy.
