Packaging for oils - which type to choose?
Oils are extremely popular products in recent times. Some of them have therapeutic properties, others are great for cosmetics. There are also aromatic products that allow you to relax or cure certain ailments through aromatherapy. However, regardless of the type of oil and its properties, proper storage is very important. Why is proper packaging so significant? Well, in this case, unsuitable storage could lead to a loss of its beneficial effects. It is also worth noting that this is significant in order to maximize their lifetime.
What packaging for oils is best?
How to store oils so that they do not lose their precious properties? The best packaging for this type of product is glass - in this case, the colour does not really matter, the most important thing is that the bottle is not transparent.
Why is transparent packaging not suitable for oils? Primarily because bottles of this colour do not protect against the negative effects of light, which can lead to oxidation of the oils, so that they quickly lose their properties. Glass packaging for essential oils, hemp or other oils will provide excellent protection against the negative effects of UV radiation. What is more, if the packaging has an airtight seal, the contents will be effectively protected from various types of contamination.
Glass packaging for oils is an environmentally friendly solution, so it is worth considering its use. After all, environmental care has become an increasingly important issue in recent years.
Non-transparent packaging made of plastic can also be used to store various types of oils. In this case, suitable storage conditions will be significant so that the contents do not lose their properties. Furthermore, this material is only approved for packaging if it is certain that it will not react with the contents.
Sealing is essential!
Packaging for hemp oils, skincare or essential oils absolutely must also be airtight. This is particularly important for essential variants, which contain volatile compounds that evaporate when exposed to air. The consequence of this is a rapid loss of the product's therapeutic properties. Fortunately, this can be prevented in a very simple way. It is enough to take due care to ensure that the glass containers for essential oils are very carefully closed after each use. Droppers are often used in this type of product - these should under no circumstances be touched with the hands in order to avoid the risk of contaminants being transferred into the packaging.
It is very convenient to take advantage of the possibility of matching the packaging that contains the oil to a cap with an atomizer, pipette, pump, dropper, etc.
Perfect position for storing
When packing oils in bottles, it is worth remembering that they should always be stored upright. This is very important, this reduces the risk of leaks and the oil itself does not come into contact with the cap - this reduces the chance of it being contaminated with prohibited substances. When storing glass oil packs, ensure that they are placed vertically on a stable surface.
Oil container capacity - what is the best?
What capacity should an oil container have? There is no clear answer to this question. Glass bottles are available in a variety of capacities, ranging from those holding 5 ml of product to those that can hold up to 1,000 ml.
The most commonly used containers range from 5 to 30 ml. These are the optimum solutions that will work for most oils. Such bottles of oils are by far the most preferred by customers. In such packaging, the oils are used up more quickly, so that they will not lose their valuable properties before the contents of the bottle are completely utilized.
Besides choosing the volume and material for the packaging in which the oil will be stored, it is also important to choose the right cap, often with a dropper, which will fit perfectly into the glass bottle. In doing so, it is important to bear in mind that even small leaks due to incorrectly fitting components can lead to a loss of the valuable properties of the oils.
Proper packaging provides an opportunity to increase oil sales
Glass bottles are the best solution for storing oils. Their manufacturers, wishing to increase sales and customer satisfaction, should consider using bulk oil packaging for their products. Such packaging for hemp oil, skincare, or therapeutic oils will contain products for different uses. For many customers, this will be an interesting solution that they will use frequently.
