Merry Christmas and a serene New Year to all!!!
We will be available again from January 2nd
With the arrival of the Christmas period, the windows shine with shiny packaging and shiny gifts that flash bright. Behind so much gloss there are often blown plastic packaging, bottles and light jars, resistant and perfectly shaped to make an elegant casket for perfumes, creams, detergents and cosmetics of all kinds.
Plastivalle supplies bottles for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics world guaranteeing efficiency, quality, and that irresistible touch of fascinating elegance increasingly indispensable. But today, in addition to that, it is increasingly focused on sustainability, using recycled materials. In a Christmas that celebrates the magic of the gift, these bottles tell a concrete commitment to a greener future.
In Plastivalle, every detail is based on precision, creativity and care: just what Christmas represents!
The soft touch finish, used by Plastivalle, when required, in the production of bottles for cosmetics and high-end pharmaceutical, is made using plastics enriched with soft touch additives directly in the extrusion or injection process for blowing.
Benefits of soft touch finish:
Tactile and aesthetic appeal
The soft, velvety feel creates a premium effect, increases the emotional connection of the product with the consumer and ultimately influences the purchasing decision.
Ergonomics
It is the practical aspect sometimes underestimated. The soft touch surface offers a more comfortable and safe grip, useful for products such as creams or lotions.
Perceived value
It raises the consumer’s perception of product quality. Helps to differentiate from the competition, especially in saturated sectors such as cosmetics and personal care.
The soft touch finish is not only a "hook" marketing, but a real added value when used in a strategic and functional way to the product and high target. For bottles in the luxury segment, where it gives the brightness and softness of silk is a factor that can make the difference.
The technology and attention dedicated by Plastivalle to the soft touch finish guarantees unique non-slip effects, softness and sericity that combined with sophisticated screen printing and hot turn any bottle into a container with sexy elegance, in a real object of desire.
The production of containers with innovative shapes that make substantial changes both on the aesthetic and functional side passes from 3D modeling.
The three-dimensional drawing of the object is fundamental, and it is already possible to make precise dimensional evaluations, produce photorealistic renderings and formulate a series of evaluations useful for refining the project.
Everything is splendid, but then it’s always up to the imagination to predict the real physical consistency of the container and its ergonomic relationships with the hands of its users.
Given the demanding costs necessary for the realization of the final mold, it is better not to make mistakes.
We come to the aid, at this point, 3D printing, able to translate the digital design into a physical object very similar to what we will produce. The sustainable costs of 3D printing allow us to make changes to our design and to evaluate its effects on the finished product even several times before building the final mold and starting mass production of the bottle, the container or vessel in question.
The enormous push to innovative shape production introduced by 3D printing is obvious.
The possibility of constantly testing the project on realistic models, where the changes made can be felt, makes it economically viable to imagine and implement innovative projects.
Better the adhesive label or the screen printing?
Here is a comparison to help us choose.
Strength and durability
Screen printing is durable and resists scratches, moisture and environmental conditions better than adhesive labels.
Elegance and design
Adhesive labels can be printed in various colours, with complex graphic effects and fine details.
Direct screen printing offers a very professional and elegant look, especially for high-end products, with bright and well defined colors.
Customization
It is easier to change the label for small batches or to update information, for example variations of ingredients, languages, batch change, etc... The most complex thing to do with screen printing.
Long-term costs
Labelling can be advantageous for small batches, whereas screen printing is certainly more advantageous for large quantities.
Limits to counterfeiting
Screen printing is safer because it’s more difficult to replace and imitate than adhesive labels.
In conclusion
The choice between adhesive label and screen printing depends on the type of product, budget and production quantity.
For small batches or bottles that require frequent updates, adhesive labels are advantageous.
For high quality products and large volumes, screen printing is the best choice.
Plastivalle is equipped with automatic screen printing machines of the latest generation capable of very high quality performance.

The blow-moulding process is a plastic processing technique used to create hollow objects, such as bottles and containers.
The following are the steps in the process of extrusion blow moulding in use with Plastivalle:
Extrusion of the parison: plastic (such as polyethylene or PVC) is melted and extruded into a "parison", a hollow tube made of molten plastic.
Mould insertion: the parison is inserted between two halves of an open mould. The mould is closed around the parison, blocking and forming the container neck immediately.
Blowing: compressed air is blown into the parison, which expands and adapts to the inner shape of the mold.
Cooling: the workpiece is left to cool inside the mould until it solidifies into the desired shape.
Mold opening and workpiece extraction: the mold is opened and the shaped bottle is extracted.
Materials used
The most common plastic materials for blowing are high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PVC and polypropylene (PP).
Advantages of blow-moulding:
Production efficiency: Allows large quantities of bottles to be produced quickly.
Versatility: Can be used for bottles of various sizes and shapes.
Relatively low cost: Especially in the production of large batches.
In conclusion we can highlight the long production history of Plastivalle, the experience in the field of plastic containers developed in almost 60 years of activity.

The plastic blowing technique is a production process that allows to create hollow containers, such as bottles and cans. This method not only allows you to produce light and sturdy items, but also to play with shapes and colors, making these containers aesthetically pleasing and fun. Imagine colorful bottles, with unique and creative shapes, that add an element of joy to your days. Whether it’s a brightly coloured water bottle or a nice shaped liquid soap container, blown plastic can transform everyday objects into little visual pleasures.
The environmental impact of these containers is a key aspect. Contrary to what one might think, blown plastic, if handled properly, is one of the most recyclable materials. Many types of plastic used for blowing, such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), can be recycled numerous times, significantly reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills.
From attractive design to functionality, blown plastic containers are an excellent option that combines "joie de vivre" and sustainability. Choosing these products, not only you embrace a more responsible consumption philosophy, but also add a touch of liveliness to everyday life.
At the centre is always man. We are the ones who, with a proper disposal and recycling of these materials, with the commitment of everyone, can contribute to a cleaner and more colorful future.
Technological innovations in the field of blown plastic containers are essential to improve production efficiency, reduce environmental impact and respond to growing market demands.
Here are some of the main innovations already adopted by Plastivalle.
1. Advanced blow-moulding technologies
Micro-injection blow moulding: This technique combines the process of micro-injection and blow moulding, allowing the production of containers with more complex and reinforced structures. This approach improves the strength of the final product without significantly increasing its weight.
Multilayer (multilayer) blowing: Allows the creation of containers with multiple layers of different materials, allowing the use of specific barriers to improve container properties.
Multilayer blowing also allows the use of recycling materials coupled with first generation plastics to produce bottles and jars intended for food and chemical substances.
2. Use of recycled materials and bioplastics
Recycled plastic: The integration of recycled plastic into production processes has become a priority, especially in response to environmental regulations and consumer demand for more sustainable products. Improvements in recycling processes result in high quality recycled materials suitable for blowing.
Bioplastics: Research and development of bioplastics, derived from renewable sources, are advancing, allowing the production of containers that have a reduced environmental impact. Bioplastics are gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
3. Optimization of process design and efficiency
Advanced simulation and modelling: The use of advanced simulation and modelling software allows you to optimize process parameters and container design before physical production, thus reducing waste and costs.
Automated production technologies and Industry 4.0: The integration of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT (Internet of Things) systems in the production of blown plastic containers allows for greater automation, Improving product efficiency and quality, as well as enabling predictive maintenance and real-time process monitoring.
4. Sustainability and reduction of environmental impact
Reduced container weight: Innovations in design and materials allow containers to be lighter without compromising their strength, thus reducing raw material use and CO2 emissions during production and transport.
Reducing energy consumption: The adoption of more efficient technologies and optimised production processes contributes to the reduction of energy consumption, which is another crucial step towards sustainability.
5. Post-treatment and decoration technologies
Digital Decoration: Advanced digital printing technologies allow for the decoration of blown plastic containers with greater precision and customization, reducing waste and improving the aesthetics of the final product.
Functional coatings: The application of specific coatings to containers can improve their resistance to scratches, adhesion of labels and other properties, contributing to a longer life and product quality.
These innovations respond not only to market demands in terms of quality and functionality, but also to a growing environmental awareness, promoting more sustainable production practices to which Plastivalle has long been oriented.
A simple thing, ten essential rules to choose the plastic blown container that best suits your needs.
1 - Identifies the main use to which the container will be dedicated: food, industrial, domestic.
2 - Choose the plastic material that is most suitable.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Light, durable and safe for
food and beverage.
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Highly
resistant to shock, often used to hold chemicals and detergents.
PP
(Polypropylene) Heat resistant and often used for food containers
that need to be heated.
3 - Capacity and size
Determine the amount of
material that the container must contain. The choice is wide, from 50
ml bottles to large containers of 20 liters or more.
4 - Shape and design
Shape - Cylindrical,
rectangular, square etc. The shape may affect ease of storage and
transport. Opening - Wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning, or
narrow mouth for controlled pouring.
5 - Closing and sealing
Screw cap for a secure
closure. Safety seal cap - Essential for products that need to remain
sterile or to prevent tampering. Dispenser - Useful for liquid
products that must be dispensed in small quantities.
6 - Strength and durability
Check the container’s
resistance to breakage, chemicals and temperature changes. Consider
the repeated use and reuse capacity of the container.
7- Compatibility with regulatory standards
Make sure
that the container complies with the applicable regulations,
especially if intended for food or pharmaceutical use.
8 - Cost and availability
Evaluate the cost in
relation to the quality and quantity of containers required.
9 - Environmental impact
Consider using recycled
plastic to reduce your environmental impact.
10 - Customisation
Check the possibility to
customize containers with specific colors, company logo and other
information and embellishment content.
Following these criteria, you will be able to choose the blown plastic container that best suits your needs, ensuring functionality, safety and compliance with your needs. If you want we can help you to choose the most correct options for your product.
The packaging made of blown plastic, especially if we look at the bottles for the sectors of Cleaning, Cosmetics and those of the Chemical and Pharmaceutical sectors differ greatly in terms of the range of colours and transparency of the materials, two characteristics that have a significant impact on their taste and recyclability.
In
a very summary way, it could be said that less color and more
transparency allow for greater recycling possibilities while brighter
colors and material surfaces increase the appeal of products.
In
fact, for every form of packaging, the conflict between
ethical-environmental and commercial needs tends to be resolved in
more or less balanced compromises.
White
or very soft colors and absolute transparency have a great prevalence
a little in all areas especially in the cleaning. It follows that to
distinguish one can wield the weapons of black opaque, intense colors
and hot metal prints.
Other issues are functional. If the objective is to protect against light or vice versa show the content, the choice will only be between absolute opacity and transparency.
Marketing and environmental sustainability are a good match. The new materials and recycling sorting technologies will more and more often end up in a level playing field, with great advantages for both sides.
Plastic containers, but so any other type of container for the marketing, transport and storage of food, must, in the first place, preserve its shelf-life (durability, commercial life...) "a period of time which corresponds, under defined circumstances (packaging, storage temperatures, transport conditions), to a tolerable decrease in the quality of a packaged product".
Simply, food must maintain its
hygienic and organoleptic characteristics to ensure safe and pleasant
consumption in a pre-defined period before the expiry date.
Plastic
machines for the production of food containers use:
PET (polyethylene terephthalate), used to make mainly transparent single-use bottles and containers containing water, drinks and cold foods.
HDPE/ LDPE (or PE, high and low density polyethylene), a non-transparent, safe and durable food plastic, with which yogurt jars and milk containers are produced.
PP (polypropylene). Used for its outstanding durability and hardness, high air permeability and lack of water absorption, as well as being completely odourless.
Plastivalle manufactures containers for the food and beverage industry in environments and with technologies that comply with the most stringent industry regulations.
In addition to a wide range of plastic containers, Plastivalle offers customized bottles, jars and cans, with shapes, colors and finishes (such as silk-screen printing and hot stamping) according to the needs of customers and the best corporate marketing strategies.
The high quality raw materials used and the constant control by qualified internal personnel guarantee the integrity of the products and their preservation during marketing. Standard containers or custom designed by the technical department are subject to continuous checks also with regard to ergonomics and ease of use.
With the containers Food&Beverage of Plastivalle you eat and drink quietly.
This year we are back to the summer break. A few days to regenerate physical and mental energies and resume providing you with the services and products you are looking for.
We close for summer holidays
from 12 to 25 August,
you will find us again on Monday 26
With the opportunity we remind you to continue to carry out even on vacation the recycling, leaving clean seas, mountains and cities of art, Thus protecting our planet and helping us to use more and more recyclable materials.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
We produce bottles, jars and cans in different types of plastics, with different shapes, for different contents, intended for many sectors.
All our containers have in common the need for a closure cap.
There are infinite types of caps that must obviously adapt first to the size of the mouth and the closure system provided by the container.
The majority of our containers are predisposed for screw caps, other types of cap work by clip, entering with pressure, others still have a seal of closure to hook... there are also many dispensing systems available in addition to the direct pouring from the mouth of the container, caps with dispenser cup, with button micro spray, flip top cap, push pull, trigger type spray, baby safety pressure cap, screw caps with seal, hand dispenser, cap with spout, cap with spray hole...
All of the above to give a minimal idea of the complexity of the infinite world that opens up to the voice cap.
Leaving aside purely technical issues, which however speaking of caps always have the pre-eminence, the cap, in the design of a blown plastic container, also has a considerable aesthetic impact.
In addition to the shape of the cap, which is not always easy to intervene for the aforementioned functional needs, the choice of color can change from day to night the image of the packaging.
Tone on tone or in contrast with the color of the bottle or jar and change everything.
Colors coordinated between the closing element and printing colors, Brand logo and other graphic elements can transform simple plastic containers into important brand communication vehicles.
Plastivalle regards plastic
pollution as one of the most important issues. For this reason, 100%
recyclable materials are used in the production of bottles, jerrycans
and jars supporting the use of recycled polymers from recycled
plastic materials, from separate collection and/or industrial waste.
The recycling of plastic waste leads to considerable environmental
benefits, a drastic reduction in plastic pollution and the
containment of pollution that impacts climate change.
Recycled
plastic bottles can be used in all sectors that do not require direct
contact with food.
Recycled plastic bottles can be used in all sectors that do not require direct contact with food. Although the controls of the certified recycling process are very strict for all countries of the European Union, these do not ensure the total absence of contaminants assimilated during use. For this reason, recycled plastics are not suitable for food or similar uses.
It is possible to vary the percentage of use of recycled plastics starting from 30% and reaching in some cases even 100% compounds.
Plastivalle as a member of the Institute for the Promotion of Plastics for Recycling (IPPR), can use the brand PLASTICA SECONDA VITA.
The Plastica Seconda Vita brand is an environmental product certification system dedicated to materials and products obtained from the exploitation of plastic waste;
It is the first Italian and European brand dedicated to recycled plastic; Introduces the concept of quality in recycled plastics;
Introduces the concept of traceability of recycled materials;
The brand Plastica Seconda Vita refers to the percentages of recycled waste reported in the circular of August 4, 2004, implementation of the DM 203/2003 on Green Public Procurement, and the UNI EN ISO 14021 standard.
Packaging is the main vehicle for communicating brand identity. In sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and detergents, where many products have a liquid or fluid form, the products are identified with the casing that contains them. Household cleaning products, sunscreens, disinfectants and many others of common use are fixed in the collective memory with the shape and colors of the plastic bottles or jars containing them.
PLASTIVALLE multiplies the possibility of creating containers with strong identity traits by offering companies the possibility of interfacing with the technical office and the internal mechanical workshop capable of designing and creating original moulds for the production of casings in quality blown plastic.
To complete global brand projects, PLASTIVALLE provides companies with its graphic design studio able to optimize printing for a set of latest generation screen printing machines.
PLASTIVALLE is the ideal partner to realize brand projects with a great communicative power.
The Tour de France that has just left Florence offers images similar to those seen at the Giro d'Italia a month ago. The unsightly gestures of many athletes who throw on the side of the road anything that no longer serves are still evident.
We who process plastic and
produce jars, bottles and among these also water bottles would like
there was attention to the environment and balance in evaluating the
use of a very useful material and among the most recyclable.
Ok, now
the UCI, the International Cycling Union, has decided to punish
heavily, who throws anything out of the green areas set up during the
big stage races.
It’s true that
fans, especially kids, can’t wait to pick up the water bottles
thrown by their idols. It is true that the most stupid
environmentalism tends to criminalize everything, especially plastic,
forgetting the indispensable technical qualities and the great
recyclability.
The question is that seeing athletes applauded by everyone throwing whatever along the streets of their races is not a nice sight. Imagine how many Sunday cyclists thinking of imitating their champions will throw the remains of their snacks towards deserted bushes.
While we are happy that the UCI set itself the goal of ferrying cycling towards the third millennium it is nice to remember the images of "Pogačar" at the Giro while slowing down and giving his bottle to a little boy who chases him leaving it in his hands.
In Plastivalle we manufacture sterile containers for the Pharmaceutical and Hospital sectors. Our specialized personnel work in clean rooms, specially made sterile rooms, and use materials such as HDPE, PET, PETG, and PP, suitable for the production of sterile containers. Among the sterile items proposed by Plastivalle: pilloliere, jars, jars and bottles with their accessories, sealing caps, dispensers and more.
Clean room is a sealed room where special filters and forced recycling of ultra-filtered air prevent dust or other contaminants from entering. In this equipped space you work in an environment with a controlled atmosphere and pure air.
Plastivalle constantly monitors medical items according to high quality standards and guarantees the sterility of each container thanks to the clean room and through a tight control of plastic materials, production processes and the verification of the finished product.
All sterile items can be made to customer’s specifications or project and customized with colors, soft touch finish, hot prints and screen printing up to 6 colors. Moreover, for those who want it, Plastivalle is able to develop, with its own internal study, customized products defining graphic and design projects that reflect the identity of the customer's brand.
Plastivalle is an ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified company. It is alsosubject to an annual redevelopment of the White House that meets the standards of environmental class ISO 8. Compliance with MOCA
(Materials and Objects in Contact with Food) standards distinguishes the attention that is used during the production cycle. We also have Approvals for certain items intended for the transport of hazardous
materials (ADR).
-
The aim of Plastivalle is to produce products that are increasingly careful to protect the environment. The company operates in compliance with the most up-to-date regulations on eco-sustainability and works to encourage customers to recycle, to recover plastic in order not to waste and not to pollute. At Plastivalle we are constantly looking for materials and production methods that are increasingly in line with environmental protection.
In addition to those derived from oil and natural gas, we have tested and included in the production of materials that come from renewable and environmentally sustainable natural sources, such as soy, corn, sugar cane, as well as recycled material from post-consumption.
-
We have also converted most of the hydraulic machines into electric machines, saving energy, reducing noise and reducing the risk of dispersion of pollutants. We produce most of the electricity we need with a high-efficiency photovoltaic system and in order to create more
comfortable working environments for our employees we have created an air conditioning system for the entire production area.
The water bottles that Plastivalle makes for the cycling world are in PEHD (high molecular density polyethylene). Non-toxicity, chemical resistance, low hygroscopic absorption, self-lubrication, low coefficient of friction, good wear resistance, wide range of use temperatures, make this material the ideal product to create containers that guarantee maximum hygiene in food use. Perfect for cycling where, while easily subject to major temperature changes, they keep the contained liquids unchanged.
Safe and beautiful! The Plastivalle 500 and 650 ml bottles can be customized with screen printing up to 6 colors, allowing you to create unlimited graphics and faithfully reproduce the colors of each corporate identity.
On the road and in the woods Plastivalle water bottles personalize and emphasize your style with a touch of elegance and color.
The Institute for the Promotion of Recycled Plastic (IPPR) gave the Vicenza company the Plastica Seconda Vita (PSV).
A goal that confirms the commitment that Plastivalle has always given to the delicate matter of pollution.
The IPPR is the advocate for an increasing corporate culture, focused on distributing ecological plastic products. The certification assigned by the Institute is a symbol of quality and sets forth a dialogue among businesses that share the focus on the recycling doctrine.

The focus on an eco-friendly production and the use of materials and production methods that are ideal for safeguarding the environment, have always been of primary importance for Plastivalle. Interest, sacrifices, and constant research and development are often insufficient, and, in order to aim at a radical change, it is necessary to opt for information-based communication.
Plastic is often a topic of discussion and hardly excluded from debates focused on pollution and respect for the environment. However, we tend to forget how companies like Plastivalle process plastic carefully and in an innovative way, but that such actions are frequently made void by human behaviour that lacks common sense and that can threaten the health of our Planet. Recycling is a life changing choice.
And this is the message Plastivalle wants to share: knowing how to recycle means respecting the environment and giving a second life to plastic. You could be the one to make the first move!
When you buy a Plastivalle plastic container, the journey has just begun.
Plastivalle invested in the purchase of an automated screen-printing system in May 2020. The solution was introduced with the desire to offer an optional accessory to the customer and make their product unique.
