Food Storage Containers - Glass Vs Plastic

!±8± Food Storage Containers - Glass Vs Plastic

When it comes to storage containers for food, people basically have 2 choices, plastic and glass. Plastic containers are readily available and they are super cheap, whereas Glasslock containers cost a bit more but they are much safer and last longer. Plastic is generally a person's first choice when it comes to storing their leftover's but what many people do not realize is that they can actually be harming their family with the chemicals that are in these plastic containers.

Most people are now starting to become aware that most plastics contain an organic compound called BPA (Bisphenol A). This is why many people are turning to such products as Glasslock storage containers. While BPA is one of the major component in plastic storage containers, it can actually do harm to people. There has been great controversy over such plastics as water bottles and the fact that people reuse these over and over again. Over time the BPA starts to breakdown and is ingested by people using the plastic containers. This can cause brain damage not to mention ovarian and breast cancers.

Manufactures are now starting to take measures to make plastic storage containers safer for people but there is still a great deal to worry about when using them over and over again. If you are going to use this type of storage container, you want to be sure to use it sparingly. For instance do not reuse water bottles. These are clearly marked as disposable bottles and only meant for one time use. Be sure to read the labels when you purchase plastic storage so you know what the shelf life is on it so you can dispose of them and have them replace before the plastic starts to break down.

Glasslock storage containers have so many more benefits then the plastic containers, making them the best choice for your needs. The plastic containers stain easily with the foods that are stored in them where Glasslock is virtually stain free. Plastic containers also absorb the smell of the food where Glasslock doesn't. You also do not have to worry about the transfer of any chemicals with the like you do with the plastic containers.

The Glasslock containers are made from a tempered glass. They are very durable and airtight so they can go directly from the freezer to the microwave for reheating foods. They give you a safe and waterproof seal which is something that the plastic containers do not offer. Glasslock containers are non toxic and safe for using over and over again. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet all of your storage needs.

When it comes to choosing the best storage containers for your needs, Glasslock is the best way to go. Not only is it safer for your family it also offers you more with being able to go from freezer to cooking to the table for serving the food.

Many retailers use clear plastic containers to display their products. These can be effective, functional and lucrative. If there is space available for these impulse items they can bring in added revenue for the retailer. If you are a retailer who has a limited amount of space for promoting small items, you might consider using plastic stackable containers.

Evaluate your current impulse item space and ask yourself whether it could be generating more profits for you. Don't just look at the actual surface area but think in all directions. In particular think "up". You might take advantage of the space you have, if you use containers that can actually stack on top of each other. With clear plastic containers you could make the most of your space. The more you display, the more you make.

Is your point of purchase spot crowded, cluttered and unattractive? You might consider organizing it with stackable containers. You could actually double or even triple or space. It just depends how high you want to go. The containers selected should have an interlocking design. This will insure that the containers fit together without toppling over. This is important, as one would not want any accidents where customers are concerned.

These stackable containers would work particularly well at gift shops, toy stores, novelty stores or teacher supply stores. These stores could display items such as erasers, stickers, pencils or bookmarks. Toy stores or novelty stores could benefit by using plastic containers to merchandise small items such as finger puppets, small plush items, wind-up toys, noisemakers or novelty jewelry.

Clear plastic stackable containers would be a perfect fit for candy stores as well. Because of the wide variety of candies to choose from, a retailer could show off more products without taking up more space. This would give customers much more choice. For some things in life, especially candy, more is better. The best plastic for this is PET or PVC. This is important for food storage, as these plastics are FDA approved, so they are safe to store food items in. These plastics will not distort the taste of the food.

A snap on lid would be advisable for using these containers, as there may be times when the container needs to be moved or re-arranged in a display. With the ability to close it, there would be less chance of spillage. This would be a significant issue especially in a store that is displaying edible items. Food items that land on the floor are lost revenue.

Using stackable containers are inexpensive way for many retailers to offer more choices for impulse items to their customers. It seems logical if one has found a "hot spot" for such items they would want to capitalize on that. Stackable containers are an affordable way to expand your space and in turn your business.
