Plastic Bottle Recycling Symbols

Plastic Bottle Recycling Symbols- supplied by: Packaging Graphics


The Plastic Bottle Material Code System was designed to be easy to read at a glance and distinguishable from any other marking on the bottom of a container. The symbol consists of a triangle formed by three "chasing arrows", with a specific number in the center that indicates the plastic resin from which the bottle is made.

Here are several of the most popular file formats including AutoCad® and Adobe® formats for the plastic resin symbols. These are high quality bitmap and vector formats that may be suitable for most art, tracing and machining needs. By acquiring this art you agree to the disclaimer below.
