Showcasing the Glassworks International Range: Food & Oil
When purchasing glass bottles and jars for foods and oils, it is important to establish which items are most suitable for your product. Both bottles and jars have a broad range of purposes, but there are elements to their design that can be essential when the product goes to retail. For oils and sauces in particular, the bottles are shaped to prioritise storage with an elongated body and neck.
In the foods and oils range, the main products filling the bottles are oils (sunflower/olive) and sauces (ketchup/hot sauce). For the sauces, these are traditionally supplied in much smaller bottles suitable for retail due to the small amounts used at a time. The bottles are square bodied with rounded shoulders, similar to the Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles.
These square bodies allow for easy storage, with minimal wasted space lost to curvature. The bottles have a long neck designed for ease of pouring sauces. The hot sauce bottles are available in capacities ranging from 88ml through to 120ml. For larger capacities, the 250ml Tomato Ketchup bottle extends the design but adjusts to have a broader neck. Due to the notorious viscosity of product, the broader neck helps to ensure that end users can fully empty the bottle. This is achieved by avoiding the indent in the shoulder, giving a clear and direct path from the base through to the closure.
The Glassworks International oil bottle range is made up of the industry standard Dorica and Maraska bottles. While both oil bottles have a similar side profile, with a tall body and an elongated neck, the Dorica bottles are circular in the body while the Maraskas are squarer. Both bottle types are suitable for all ranges of oil, with the distinction being broadly aesthetic. The oil bottles are available in capacities of between 100ml to 1 litre.
Glassworks International also supplies a variety of items peripheral to the standard oil and food bottles. The 100ml Signorina bottle is the tallest in relation to body size in our entire range at the time of writing. Its delicate profile is suitable for pouring precise amounts, seeing common use with specialist oils.
The majority of our bottles are designed for screw cap closures. The screw cap closures are an industry standard, and are available in a pop cap form to help ensure the integrity of the sauce or oil inside. This additional layer of security allows for consumer confidence when the product goes to retail.
All of Glassworks International’s bottles and jars adhere to BRCGS, so you can be sure that the glass adheres to the high standards expected. Food safety is priority, and our glass bottles and jars are quality checked to ensure that standards are met.
