Cost Analysis.

The preforms are very compact unlike the bottles that are normally shipped. A 40' trailer will hold approximately 500,000 / 24 gram preforms. The preforms are available from a variety of suppliers.

The costs per preform vary by supplier and are sold by the weight of the bottle. The larger the bottle, the more material is required. The information we have now is a 500 mL bottle preforms sells for approximately $0.035- $0.05 each. The labor involved to produce a bottle will add approximately $0.01 per bottle depending upon local labor costs and benefits ($6.00 per hour).
