Sports Nutrition Packaging

Keep your sports supplements at their peak for longer with quality, rigid packaging. Protein powders and creatines are sensitive to air and moisture. Invopak's rigid packaging provides high-level protection for powdered goods.

Our sports nutrition packaging solutions include screw cap glass and plastic jars, buckets, and tubs. We also offer custom IML printing and an adhesive label service, so your packaging can perform as well as your products.

FAQS: Packaging for Sports & Health Supplements

What is the best packaging for protein powders?

Plastic buckets are ideal for storing protein powders because they are air-tight, water-tight and light-proof, protecting and extending the shelf-life of your product. They are tamper-evident for secure shipping and storage, and have rim-lock lids for convenient opening and closing.

How long can you store protein powders for?

Protein powders typically last 1 to 2 years from the manufacturing date. Once opened, they should be used within 3 to 6 months. Protein powders should be stored in air-tight containers with close-fitting lids to prevent spoilage.

How can you tell if protein powder is off?

Protein, whey and creatine powders can be spoiled if they are not stored correctly. Signs of spoliation include a rancid smell, clumping or a bitter taste. If this happens, the powder should be discarded regardless of the use-by date.

Are glass jars or plastic jars better for sports supplements?

Plastic screw top jars are popular for nutrition supplements because they are light, cost-effective and unbreakable. Glass jars are ideal for high-value products, and many customers prefer glass packaging. Glass also recycles forever, making it a more sustainable option.

Can plastic tubs and buckets be printed?

IML printing is available on our tubs and buckets. This printing technique happens, "in the mould" and is part of the production process, resulting in a professional and highly durable finish. We also offer an adhesive label service, which works well for lower volume runs and limited edition products.

Are Invopak's plastic buckets BPA-free?

Yes, Invopak's plastic buckets are food-grade and BPA free, making them suitable for protein powders, whey powder, and other sports supplements.

What colours of sports nutrition packaging are available?

Our plastic buckets are available in white, clear, and black as standard. Other colours are available on request (subject to MOQs), and we also offer label printing and IML branding. So please get in touch if you're after something special.
