QUESTION #1426 Is your item PPIA 1204000PPW - the 40 oz straight walled container suitable for packaging food? ...?
ANSWER: Yes, they are made with food grade polypropylene resin. Would you like a sample sent to you?

Polypropylene is durable and is often, but not always, thicker in construction than HDPE counterparts.

There is also a small gain in durability if the problem persists to using an unpigmented or natural resin. Color pigments can weaken the structure very slightly causing it to be more fragile.

Have you considered other elements such as how you are shipping them? The package you use to ship them? Are the shipping boxes made of a strong enough board to withstand the bumps and jars packages recieve in a small parcel shipping environment?

QUESTION #1424 Are your clear glass jugs or jars tempered glass and/or are they freezer safe?
ANSWER: All the glass bottles and jars we sell at this time are common Type III(soda lime) glass. They are not tempered and will NOT function the same as Pyrex(freezer to oven).

Soda-lime glass is primarily used for bottles, jars, drinking glasses, and window glass. Its only real limitation is its inability to handle sudden thermal changes or high temperatures.

Conversely, borosilicate glass is used for cooking plates and other heat-resistant products. It is used for kitchens products and chemistry laboratories because it has greater resistance to heat and thermal shock.

QUESTION #1070 Hi, I am looking for a jar for a new cosmetics line I am coming out with and want to try and differe ...?
ANSWER: We have recently added a new set "low profile" jars molded and carried as stock in white polypropylene and natural polypropylene for this exact reason. For many years the packaging industry has relied on similar and time tested size and shape jars for the bulk of their 6 and 8 oz product needs. While these jars are excellent in quality and function we feel that markets could exist that would be better served by a jar with an alternate profile. Our new line of jars (launched this year) have a large fill capacity but an extra widemouth opening (100mm). This serves the products functionality in that it allows the consumer a larger opening for which to get their hand in. This will translate into a more stable base for the jar to rest on, less wasted product, and also a larger size impression. Please let me know if these items sound like they would be of interest and we would be happy to send you some samples!

The jars are our:
6oz 100mm Regular Wall PP Jar
6oz 100mm Thick Wall PP Jar

8oz 100mm Regular Wall PP Jar
8oz 100mm Thick Wall PP Jar
