CPP packers rival PET in cosmetic appearance and far surpass PET in performance and cost. Polypropylene has best MVTR protection compared to PET, HDPE and PS with similar impact and top load strength. Biaxial orientation means the bottles have the clarity of PET and opaque white have a gloss not attainable with HPDE. It is also a lighter weight bottle than PET. The dual-function CRC closures convert from CR to non-CR in a "snap" with a simple press of the center of the cap.
