In RapidFind, Feature is one of the search criteria. In all product types - Glass, Plastic and Closures - a Feature is one outstanding property of the item. Selecting a Feature in addition to a Style can effectively narrow the results of a search. In the Glass and Plastic product types, Features include Indent (for label), Round Shoulder, Footed, etc. In the Closure product type, a Feature can define a Style of closure. For example, Features such as Flip Top, Trigger Sprayer and Turret all identify Dispensing Style closures. In Continuous Thread closures, a Feature identifies a property, such as smooth, ribbed, tall, etc.

Single Step Fluorination: Molding of containers using fluorine instead of air. This process creates a chemical reaction by which a barrier layer is created on the interior surfaces of the container. Also called in-line fluorination. Post Treatment Fluorination: This process of treating existing containers involves exposing the containers to a controlled environment which introduces fluorine to the treatment chamber. The exposure to the fluorine effects a barrier on both the internal and external surfaces of the container in the same manner as Single Step Fluorination.
