Both 3D printed bottles and molded bottles serve their own distinct functions in the packaging sector. The ability to create a design using 3D printing is most effective when prototyping is needed or where a small number of specific units are required as it enables customization. Molded bottles, on the other hand, are better suited for large production runs because of their consistency and robust nature. Knowing these variations helps companies determine which option best suits their production capabilities and market plan.
