Abstract: An exemplary device may support or guide containers during transport of the containers in a container handling system. The device has at least one main body for supporting or guiding the containers during the transport. The at least one main body can have a surface for making contact with the containers, which surface is textured in order to reduce the contact area between the surface and the containers when transporting the containers. In examples, the at least one main body can be made of a base material and of at least one additive material, which has a surface energy with a polar fraction which differs, preferably substantially, from a polar fraction of a surface energy of the base material and/or of the containers, and preferably made of at least one solid lubricant mate/rial. The device can reduce friction between the containers and the at least one main body.
