Finish data sheets (GME)

Glass and PET finish geometry (GME)

Our catalogue of so-called 'GME' sheets concerns documents relating to the geometry of glass and PET finishes.

What is the neck of a bottle?

The finish is the upper part of the bottle or jar, more commonly known as the "neck".

How to measure a neck finish?

In this section, you will find specifications concerning neck finishes for plastic bottles and finishes for glass bottles or glass jars and flacons.
You will be able to access different types of neck finishes drawings, neck finish definition, dimensions of neck finishes diameters, and more other precise documentation.
Are available for download different neck finish types such as PCO finishes (PCO 1810 and PCO 1881), ROPP finishes, MCA finishes series, FEA neck finishes and other neck finish drawings.

Cetie provides only its own recognised standards: you won’t be able to access to ISBT or GPI neck finishes from our website.
Refer to the DT data sheet's page to access bottle neck finish nomenclature, as well as the detailed neck finish defect (visual and critical glass finish defects).

What are the finishes specifications for standard closures?

For more details concerning neck finish closure types, visit the EC section and the bottling guide referring to specific bottled products.

These specifications are crucial for :

Designing the moulds (finish moulds for glass packaging & plastic moulding for PET packaging)
Allow all the functions expected of the closure: perfect liquid tightness, controlled permeability to contained gas and air, multiple re-openings or not, ease of opening (unscrewing torque), resistance to self-unscrewing, anti-break-in and/or anti-refilling functions, aesthetic functions (skirts, etc...), adaptation to opening tools (corkscrews, bottle openers)
Ensure the ideal connection with the corking accessories (inserts, worms, pumps, pourers, seals, over caps) and of course with the corks, crown caps or screw caps, of all materials.
Remain compatible with the bottling lines: compatibility with the diameters of the filling nozzles, interference zones with the line tools, the grip of the bottle by the finish.
Allow the correct application of the closure elements: by pressing, crimping, snapping, screwing, or forming on the finish (ROPP, crowns)
To serve as a working basis for the development of new designs

Taking into account the special conditions:

Compatibility with the nature of the bottled product (flat/transparent or carbonated/effervescent product, aggressive or sticky product, liquid, pasty or containing lumps)
Compatibility with filling conditions and heat treatments (cold or hot filling, pasteurisation)
Adaptation to storage and distribution conditions (maximum temperatures, vertical load)

And in line with the feasibility of the bottle manufacturer, so as to reduce the risk of manufacturing defects as much as possible.
