From beer to cosmetics, amber glass bottles and jars are a familiar sight for consumers. In fact, drug manufacturers have been using them since the 16th century.
Is there room for the amber jar after 500 years? Absolutely. Not only are they nostalgic and trusted by consumers, but excellent safety reasons make them the best choice.
Whether you're selling vitamins, cosmetics or food, let's take a look at why you should opt for amber glass packaging.
1. Amber glass is inert
Glass is an ideal packaging material for all kinds of products because it is almost inert. They are ideal if you manufacture or distribute the following products:
- Cosmetics
- Beauty creams
- Vitamins
- Essential oils
Amber glass will protect your product. Damage can occur in three main ways:
- Packaging material can break down and contaminate the contents
- Sun damage
- Breakage during transportation
Amber glass cosmetic packaging provide excellent protection against all three forms of damage. They are rugged and, as we shall see, resistant to ULTRAVIOLET light. Amber glass is also extremely resistant to heat and cold. The inertness and impermeability of amber glass means you don't need to add additives to your product to prevent it from spoiling. You can offer consumers natural products and trust that they will arrive intact. Questions remain about the safety of some forms of plastic packaging. Many consumers are increasingly reluctant to buy brands that use plastic. You can broaden your appeal to this group of consumers by using amber glass jars.
2. Block ultraviolet and blue light
Clear glass and some other forms of tinted glass offer little protection against uv and blue light. For example, ultraviolet light can cause unwanted changes in products such as essential oils and other plant ingredients. This is a process called photooxidation. An amber jar can absorb almost all wavelengths less than 450 nm. This means almost complete uv protection. Cobalt blue cans are another popular choice for consumers and manufacturers. However, while cobalt blue is attractive, it does not protect against blue light. Only amber glass will do.
3. Add value to your product
If you sell your product in a glass jar instead of a plastic one, you will immediately add value to it.
First, visual appeal. For most consumers, glass is more visually appealing than plastic. They also speak of quality in a way that plastic can never do.
Retailers love them because they look great on the shelf.
Amber glass jars are particularly attractive to consumers. This is especially true in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care. Its long association with traditional, trusted products makes it a powerful tool.
Then there's the feel of the product in your hand. Glass is extremely tactile, with a smooth, shiny surface and reassuring firmness.
It feels sturdy and durable. It gives you a sense that the product inside must be valuable to be packaged so safely. This is especially useful in cosmetics, where the actual product may be very lightweight.
Amber glass is made using widely available materials. This enables manufacturers to produce the best glass at an affordable price and can easily be supplied in bulk.
4. A sustainable option
Consumers have changed dramatically in recent years to focus more on sustainability. They don't just consider the attractiveness of what they buy. They also consider what to do with packaging.
A recent report shows that 85% of people have changed their buying behavior in the past five years. They are now choosing more sustainable products. The packaging of consumer goods such as food, cosmetics and medicines is more important to people than ever before.
Amber glass is the ideal product to appeal to customers who are concerned about sustainability. It is easy to recycle widely. They don't have to deal with it.
Many people also like to hold their jars and reuse them at home. The Internet is awash with ideas for decorating your home with amber glass! Many people like to collect these items and make them part of the fall display.
Also, amber glass can be made from recycled products.
Companies are under increasing pressure to prove their commitment to sustainability. Using affordable traditional amber glass products is a good choice.
