Abstract
A method for providing a thermally stable finish in a plastic container. A finish section is reformed, which in part requires crystallizing a portion of the finish. The finish section has a finish dimension that shrinks to an intermediate finish dimension. Thereafter, the crystallized finish is annealed such that the intermediate finish dimension conforms to a predetermined range.
