Food storage isn’t just a means of keeping your goods fresh and safe – it’s also an opportunity to lure in all kinds of customers, from grocery outlets to online shoppers. How you package your treats, meats, baked goods, canned foods and more is your first impression. Making sure your containers are attractive, recyclable and appropriate for the foods and beverages you’re packaging can make or break your business. Whether you’re a large operation, a mom-and-pop bakery or operate a farm that’s a regular at local farmer’s markets, the food containers you use shouldn’t be an afterthought. Here are some of the best, most attractive, safest and greenest food container solutions on the market. Which is the best for your particular fare? 1. Round base, double wall, frosted: This classic plastic jar is ideal for a wide variety of items, from dry goods like nuts to jams and preserves. BPA-free, it’s durable and packs well. The frosted addition provides a touch of elegance to plastics. If you like the look of glass but would prefer a sturdier and more cost-effective option, frosted rounded bases are the perfect solution. 2. Hexagon flint glass jar: Choosing a glass container automatically says that your business and your goods are the cream of the crop. However, if you want to really stand out and be a little funky, go with a more unusual shape, such as hexagonal. It still stacks easily, but it’s an instant attention-grabber on the shelves. 3. Metal can, straight side: Who said metal cans all have to be the same? Eco-friendly and affordable, choosing the straight side can add a little flair to an otherwise standard container. It also makes labeling smoother and easier. Sleek and simple, this is one metal can that’s easy on the eyes and your budget. 4. Amber bottle with crown finish: A classic look for darker beverages, such as beers and brown sodas, the amber bottle is simple to recycle and adds instant elegance to beverage containers. This type of glass is also increasingly being used for DIY projects. It filters light beautifully and can increase the perceived value of what’s inside (leading to higher markups for you). 5. Honey bears: Don’t let the name fool you — more than honey can go inside honey bears. In fact, any type of syrup or thick liquid can be a great match for this American classic. However, if you do have honey (or anything honey-flavored), this is a great way to let audiences know right away what kind of sweet treat is in store for them. 6. Flint Mason jar: Mason jars are popping up everywhere, particularly in high-end hipster establishments and, of course, in diners around the world. Easy to recycle, Mason jars are more often repurposed. Once the goods have been enjoyed, mason jars are great as drinking glasses, vases and anything else you can dream up. Consumers may pay more for this type of packaging because they want to re-use the jar. Whether you want plastic or glass, clear or colored, large or small, the options for containers are limitless.
