Find a Firm For Bottling Your Food Product
Bottling of food products is a specialized packaging business as many foods have to be packaged in particular ways. When you have liquid foods, you have to make sure that the bottles used are safe for packaging food items, that they are easy to use, convenient to fill and store, and that they keep the product in a usable condition for its shelf life. Sometimes bottles come with dispensers for ease of use, but often, since food products are easily contaminated, they come in a sealed and sterile condition, sometimes vacuum packed.
Bottled food products
Many kinds of food products are packaged in bottles and even at home bottling may be used to preserve smaller amounts of food items or excess produce from the garden. Among the bottled food items easily available are:
- Squashes and concentrated liquid drink mixers
- Ready to serve beverages
- Pickles
- Oils
- Sauces and condiments
- Water
- Flavored water
- Aerated drinks or soda
- Yoghurt based drinks
- Milk and milk based drinks
- Beer
- Alcohol
- Honey
- Fruit juices and nectars
- Flavoring extracts
- Food colors
- Syrups
- Spices
- Soups
Bottles may vary in sizes, some containing only a few milliliters to some that hold several liters. Beverages and other drinks may be packaged in single serve bottles. Closures may range from screw on disc caps, tamper-evident caps, flip top caps, crown corks and others. While bottles may be made of PET or other plastics, they may also be made of glass or occasionally metal. For instance certain HDPE bottles may be approved for use with food products, but they cannot withstand high temperature filling or vacuum closing. PVC may be used for certain oils but that too is not suitable for hot filling. On the other hand PP can be hot filled and sterilized. Whether using plastic or glass bottles, you may require them to be clear or colored or even frosted. You can opt for custom designed bottles or choose labeling and decorating options for product differentiation.
