PE Packaging | TSA Travel Solutions
PE (Polyethylene) is a lightweight and highly flexible material, perfect for everyday personal care and travel bottles. It allows easy squeezing of lotion, shampoo, or gel without damaging the bottle. Its softness also reduces the risk of cracking or breaking during travel. TSA-approved PE bottles come in 100ml (3.4oz) sizes, ensuring compliance with airline liquid limits.
Benefits include chemical stability, resistance to mild temperature changes, and excellent cost-efficiency for large-scale production.

When using PE bottles, it is recommended to keep caps tightly closed and to store bottles upright in clear pouches for TSA inspection. GOLDENSOAR PE bottles are engineered to be leak-proof, durable, and visually appealing, providing both practical travel solutions and premium brand representation.
PET Packaging | Clear & Eco-Friendly TSA Bottles
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) offers crystal-clear transparency, which allows TSA agents to inspect liquids easily without opening the bottle. Its high strength and moisture barrier properties make it ideal for beverages, cosmetic creams, gels, and liquid toiletries. PET bottles maintain shape under pressure changes and are highly resistant to impact.
Eco-friendly PET bottles are also recyclable, aligning with sustainable travel trends. TSA-approved PET bottles from GOLDENSOAR are lightweight yet sturdy, making them perfect for business trips, vacations, or daily travel kits. They support customization with various caps, closures, and labeling options.
When packing liquids in PET bottles, travelers should ensure the fill line does not exceed 100ml to comply with TSA regulations. PET’s transparency also enhances product visibility, making it easier for users to identify contents quickly during travel.
