The Finish
This is the top of the container above the neck ring parting line. It
includes:
The Sealing Surface
Bore
Bead or Color
The sealing device is in the finish (see next section), also the
bore or mouth for filling and emptying.
The bead or color is used to assist in transferring the parison
into the blow mold.
The Neck
The part which extends from the parting line to the curve at
the base of the neck.
The Shoulder
This extends from the base of the neck to the straight part of
the body.
The Body
The main part of the container which holds the product.
The Bottom
The part of the container on which it stands when upright.
Insweep
The curve between body and bottom which helps to improve
glass distribution and thus strength.
Push-Up
The center of the bottom which is raised up to provide a flat
surface on the outer edge of the bottom and thus provide a
firm seating.
3. Cork Sealing
The seal is made on the inside of the
finish. It is used with narrow neck bottles.
For Example:
Parison
Mold
Blow Mold
Feeder
