Glass Bottles | Spices, tea, candies, condiments | Borosilicate glass (ISO 3337, withstands -20°C to 250°C) with: - Cork stopper (Industry Standard) - Screw cap (Our Advanced ▲, ISO 28788 airtight seal) | Durable (thermal shock resistance), aroma/flavor preservation, translucent aesthetic appeal | Fragile (requires cushioning), heavier than plastic (↑ shipping costs) |
Plastic Containers | Snacks, short-term food storage | PET (Type 1, FDA-approved) with airtight lids (ASTM D3985, 0.1% oxygen permeability) | Lightweight (reduces shipping costs), shatterproof, cost-effective for mass production | Permeable to oxygen (shorter shelf life), less eco-friendly (non-recyclable variants) |
Metal Tins | Biscuits, nuts, powdered products | Aluminum with epoxy coating (EN 13127, 10-year shelf life) | Airtight (prevents oxidation), moisture-resistant, stackable for storage efficiency | Heavy (↑ shipping costs), opaque design limits product visibility, recycling challenges |
Cardboard Boxes | Shipping, non-perishables | Corrugated cardboard (ISO 3681-2, 300 GSM) with water-resistant coating (ASTM D3378) | Eco-friendly (recyclable/compostable), customizable branding, cost-effective bulk shipping | Susceptible to moisture (needs waterproofing), less protective against impacts |
Canned Jars | Preserves, sauces, pickles | Glass with vacuum-sealed lids (ISO 22440, 99.9% airtight) | Long shelf life (no preservatives), durable for storage, safe for acidic foods | Bulky (↑ storage space), limited design flexibility, heavier than plastic |
Biodegradable Packaging | Eco-conscious snacks, spices | PLA (Polylactic Acid, ASTM D6400 certified, compostable in 90 days) | Environmentally sustainable (reduces plastic waste), FDA-approved, biodegradable | Shorter shelf life (degrades over time), higher cost, requires industrial composting |
