While plastic may be the best choice for some companies, there are some products that can only be packaged in glass, and the reality is that glass tends to boost sales. It is attractive and stylish, easily molded into any shape or form and environmentally advantageous. Below, we will discuss some of the reasons glass will boost your sales and give the product the best chance of being noticed among the many competitors on the shelves.
The Benefits of Using Glass Jars
Among the many benefits of using glass jars for your products are:
• Glass is elegant and stylish. Some people buy products in glass jars simply because they want the jar itself. While few people reuse plastic bottles or jars for their aesthetic appeal, some people do so with glass jars and bottles for a variety of other purposes.
• Glass is reusable and recyclable. Glass can be reused for making jellies and jams, as drinking glasses, or for candles. Glass can also be recycled and infinite number of times, posing no threat to the environment and making it very appealing in today’s environment-conscious culture.
• Glass jars adds to product visibility. Glass has a certain gleam and shine to it that plastic doesn’t, making it stand out on the shelf. Glass offers wonderful transparency to the contents of your package, making your product the star.
• Glass jars have superior barrier properties. Glass is non-porous, making it a safer material to use than plastic. Consumers can be sure that nothing is getting in or out of the package and nothing is leaking into the product as it can with certain types of plastic when it is exposed to excessive sunlight.
• Glass jars can be hot filled. Hot filling is the process of heating the product (if it is a liquid, such as a drink or a spread) to a high temperature, filling the jar with it, capping it, laying it on its side or upside down, and finally rapidly cooling it. This process kills whatever bacteria or microorganisms might be in the product, ensuring product safety and extending product shelf life. Glass is a safe material for hot filling as it can withstand extreme temperatures without deforming or leaching.
