Editor's Notes
Indigenous materials. This include mat, baskets and fibercraft items.
Glass containers. One of the oldest packaging materials for food items like fruit or vegetable preserves, condiments, beverages and juices. It is leak-proof and does not cause undesirable flavor and odor. Glass jars may either have glass covers or metal screw caps. All glass jars are sealed with a safe-elastic rubber ring placed on the lid of the jar
Bottles have narrow necks and are usually used for liquids like catsup, vinegar or wine.
Jars have wide mouths and very short, wide necks. They are used for liquids, solids and foods with thick paste-like or syrupy substances such as sweet preserves and jellies.
Tumblers. They have no necks like ordinary drinking glasses. They are commonly used for jellies, jams, and peanut butter.
Jugs. They have short, narrow necks and ear lugs. They come in large sizes, usually half and one-gallon sizes. They are commonly used for liquids such as juice containers.
They are lighter and more resistant to corrosion. Plastic containers are also less likely to break. Plastic containers have very low resistance to heat. These materials also tend to deteriorate at low temperature. They are also less efficient as barrier to solids, liquids and gases. These are in the form of jugs, tumblers, based-like containers, etc.. These are used for fruit concentrates, vinegar and even catsup.
These are pouches, bags, reels, sheets or strips made out of a single layer or combined layers of paper, film, foil or cellophane
Capseal is a popular tamper-evident packaging material made usually from shrinkable plastics like PVC. Manufacturers of food products in jars or bottles are big users
“cushion” means to protect products from environmental shocks and vibration
