9.9 gram PET preform price in India: how to calculate it
The price of a 9.9g PET preform depends on the supplier's rate per kilogram, neck finish, quality specification, order volume, freight and applicable GST. There is no single verified live price for every buyer.
Price per piece formula
Preform cost per piece = 9.9 × PET preform rate per kg ÷ 1,000.
At a hypothetical supplier rate of ₹149/kg, one 9.9g preform costs approximately ₹1.48 per piece before freight and applicable taxes. A 24-bottle case uses approximately ₹35.40 of preforms before wastage. This is an arithmetic illustration, not a current supplier quotation.
At ₹140/kg, the same preform would cost ₹1.386 per piece. At ₹160/kg, it would cost ₹1.584 per piece. These are example rates only.
What to ask before purchasing
- Confirm neck finish and compatibility with your existing mould and cap.
- Check actual average preform weight, consistency and colour.
- Ask for a quote by kg and approximate piece count.
- Compare landed cost including GST treatment, freight and wastage.
- Request samples and verify blowing performance before bulk ordering.
