Why Amber & Cobalt Blue containers for your products?

Amber & Cobalt Blue containers offer a vast array of advantages over clear bottles as listed below:

  • UV Protection:
    • The deep blue colour of cobalt blue bottles provides significant protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays. This is crucial for products sensitive to light, such as essential oils, certain pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, as it helps to preserve their potency and extend their shelf life.
  • Aesthetic Appeal:
    • The rich, vibrant blue colour is visually appealing and can enhance the perceived value of the product. It stands out on shelves and can be a part of branding and marketing strategies.
  • Recyclability:
    • Cobalt blue plastic bottles are often made from recyclable materials such as PET or HDPE. This makes them a more environmentally friendly option compared to non-recyclable alternatives.
  • Versatility:
    • These bottles come in various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of products, including personal care items, cleaning products, and beverages.
  • Durability:
    • Plastic bottles, including cobalt blue ones, are generally lightweight yet durable, making them less prone to breaking compared to glass. This is particularly beneficial for shipping and handling.
  • Chemical Resistance:
    • Many cobalt blue plastic bottles are made from materials that are resistant to chemicals and solvents, making them suitable for storing various substances without degrading.
  • Cost-Effective:
    • Compared to glass, plastic bottles are often more cost-effective to produce and ship due to their lighter weight and lower material costs.
  • Lightweight:
    • Being made of plastic, these bottles are lighter than glass, reducing shipping costs and making them easier to handle.
  • Safety:
    • Plastic bottles do not shatter like glass, reducing the risk of injury from broken containers. This makes them safer for use in households and for products used by children.
