Plastic bottles are sensitive to lateral wall deformation (panelling) owing to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside. Parameters involved in plastic bottle deformation have been reviewed. A quick laboratory test for measuring bottle resistance to deformation was set up and evaluated vs. real life conditions. Round 1–l bottles with various geometries and wall thickness distributions were designed, produced and tested.
