What are the Benefits of Packaging Edible Oils in Rectangular Tins?
Rectangular tins are a great choice for packaging edible oils because they offer a high level of protection, are space-efficient, and sustainable.
Protection and Preservation
Metal packaging has excellent barrier properties against light and moisture, providing a high degree of protection against light, oxygen, and moisture. This helps to prevent oxidation and flavour loss.
Space Efficient
The rectangular shape can be stored edge-to-edge, without gaps, for space-efficient stacking and storage in cartons or on pallets, making them a popular choice for wholesale and catering use.
Durable and Sustainable
Tinplate steel is highly puncture-resistant, Strong, leak-tight, and durable for transport. The tins are engineered for use with UN-approved bungs or screw-lid tops, ensuring a leak-proof seal.
Invopak's food-grade oil tins
What type of edible oils can be stored in rectangular tins?
Invopak's food-grade oil tins can be used for shipping any type of edible oil, including olive oils, speciality oils, vegetable oils, nut oils and wholesale cooking oils.
Olive Oil
Rectangular tins are the traditional choice for storing bulk quantities of olive oil because it offers a longer shelf-life than oil stored in glass or plastic packaging. This is an important consideration when oil is kept for longer before use.
Speciality and Gourmet Oils
Food-grade oil tins can be used to ship larger quantities of high-value edible oils such as walnut, avocado, and truffle oils. The excellent barrier properties and durability of metal containers help to keep the goods safe whilst they are in transit.
Wholesale and Cooking Oils
Rectangular oil tins are a practical option for wholesale and catering use. They are a convenient and safe way to store larger quantities of food oils, including rapeseed oils, sunflower seed oils, palm oil and blended vegetable oils. Rectangular tins help professional kitchens manage their food oil stocks efficiently because they facilitate bulk storage and preserve the oils for longer.
