Complete guide to PET blow moulds for India's pharmaceutical industry. Syrup bottles, paediatric suspensions, tonic containers, eye/ear drop bottles — precision moulds from Ultra Mould.
India is the world's third-largest pharmaceutical producer by volume, with annual pharma sales exceeding ₹4 lakh crore. The industry produces billions of bottles annually for cough syrups, paediatric suspensions, tonics, antacids, vitamins, and other liquid formulations. PET has largely replaced glass for these applications because it is lighter, safer (no breakage), more economical, and allows excellent design flexibility.
Ultra Mould supplies precision PET blow moulds to pharmaceutical companies across India's major pharma clusters — Hyderabad-Telangana, Ahmedabad-Gujarat, Indore-Madhya Pradesh, Baddi-Himachal Pradesh, and Mumbai-Maharashtra.

Pharmaceutical PET bottles in India must comply with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945. Key packaging requirements include Schedule P (labelling and packaging standards), Schedule FF (standard for containers), and WHO-GMP packaging guidelines. Our mould designs are created in awareness of these requirements, though final material and process validation remains the responsibility of the pharma manufacturer.
Many syrup and liquid medication bottles require child-resistant closures (CRC caps). The bottle neck must be designed to work with CRC caps — typically requiring a specific neck finish dimension and torque profile. Ultra Mould has experience designing CRC-compatible neck finishes for pharma bottles, ensuring reliable child-resistance performance when used with the appropriate cap.
Many pharmaceutical formulations are light-sensitive and require amber (brown) coloured bottles to block UV light. Amber colour is added to PET during preform injection — it is not a mould modification. Our moulds can produce both clear and amber bottles using the same mould, simply by switching to amber-coloured preforms. We advise clients on when amber is necessary based on the drug's photosensitivity profile.
