Spices are susceptible to environmental factors like moisture, air and light, which can degrade their quality. Quality spice packaging is not just about preserving these sensory characteristics; it’s about extending shelf life, maintaining product integrity and ensuring the first sprinkle is as vibrant as the last. Packaging is also pivotal in consumer appeal and brand differentiation, which makes selecting the right containers, closures and liners a critical decision for brands aiming to stand out.
Check out Account Specialist Keo Jorgensen’s quick guide on popular spice packaging resins, sizes, closures, and liners for more information.
Exploring Plastic Resins: PET, PP and HDPE
The choice of plastic resin plays a crucial role in determining the quality and appeal of spice packaging. MJS Packaging specializes in several options, including PET, known for its clarity and recyclability; PP, favored for its versatility and chemical resistance; and HDPE, prized for its strength and barrier properties. Each resin is selected based on its ability to maintain the integrity and freshness of spices, ensuring that products meet consumer expectations.
Diverse Sizes and Shapes for Every Packaging Need
Understanding presentation and convenience matter as much as quality, we offer spice containers in various sizes and shapes, catering to retail consumers and food service professionals. Each container is designed with the end-user in mind, from compact 4 oz containers ideal for home kitchens to large 160 oz options equipped with ergonomic features for food service use. Pinch grips and handle options boost functionality and user experience that everyone can appreciate.
- Popular consumer sizes include 4oz, 8oz, 12oz and 16oz.
- Larger food service sizes include 32oz, 64oz, 128oz, and 160oz.
All these options are available through MJS Packaging and help us provide diverse options for businesses with basic or unique packaging needs.
Innovative Closures for Enhanced Usability
As our Account Specialist Keo Jorgensen, pointed out, “Your lid choice should be based on the product you are packaging. For example, if you’re packaging peppercorns, you would want larger orifice sizes.” The most popular option for closures is the dual-flap cap, which allows you to pour, insert a utensil, or sprinkle.
Different closure types offered by MJS Packaging include:
- Single Flap Pour: A single flap pour closure provides ease of use for dispensing a larger quantity of product quickly.
- Single Flap Shaker: Opens to varying orifices in a variety of sizes, perfect for sprinkling powders, fine spices, herbs, or crushed red peppers. Select the orifice size and range that fits your product best!
- Dual Flap (Sift and Pour): Features sifting and pouring sides, ideal for spices needing both methods. Perfect for cooking, baking, or adding a finishing touch. The pour side comes in handy for measuring spoons.
- Full Open: Removes the barrier entirely for unobstructed access, suitable for spooning or scooping directly from the container. Great for bulk packaging!
- Full Pour: Large opening for fast pouring and more product output.
Dispensing options on closures come in a variety of orifice sizes and shapes outside of the ordinary circles, including:
- Slotted: Elongated openings for easier, controlled disbursement of fine or large food particles.
- Trapezoid: Angular pour for precision, useful for directed flow for larger food particles or increased output.
- Directional Pour / Teardrop: Focuses flow in a specific direction, often utilizing a tear drop shape to minimize spillage and allow precise pouring.
Advanced Liner Technologies for Optimal Freshness
Liners are critical in maintaining the freshness and integrity of packaged spices. MJS Packaging leverages cutting-edge liner technologies like heat induction and pressure-sensitive liners to offer the best product protection. Heat induction liners create a tamper-evident seal perfect for eCommerce, while pressure-sensitive liners provide a secure seal without having to use heat induction equipment for setup. These liner options help to preserve spice quality and extend shelf life, offering brands the security of knowing their products are protected from production to pantry.
