Protein Powder Storage Containers

Protein powders are hygroscopic, so they absorb moisture easily. If they come into contact with moisture, they will clump and degrade. This is why protein powder packaging needs to be made of an impermeable material, such as glass or plastic, and be air-tight when sealed.

UV light and oxygen can also shorten the powder's shelf life and quality, so opaque packaging and well-fitting closures are key. Rigid containers also offer a high-level of physical protection against crushing or puncture damage, making them ideal for shipping.

Plastic screw-top jars are a popular choice for protein and creatine powders. Invopak jars are made in the UK and are available in a range of sizes from 150ml through to 1.25 litres. Custom IML printing is available (MOQs apply) to showcase your brand.

Our convenient resealable options also include a selection of powder glass jars, and plastic tubs available to order directly from the website, and we can also source custom sizes and colours on request. Just click here to explore your options with an expert.

Packaging for Capsules & Tablets

Child-resistant plastic bottles can be a sensible choice for capsules and tablets. Choose a wide-neck option for large capsules, such as fish oil supplements and vitamins, for ease-of-use, or a standard bottle for smaller tablets. Tamper-evident tubs, have a break-seal, designed to keep goods safe when shipped or on the shelf.

Glass and rigid plastic packaging each have their own benefits when it comes to packaging capsules and tablets.

Glass is traditional; it implies quality, making it a good choice for premium products. Glass can be reused and is recyclable, so it is a good fit when a plastic-free choice is preferable or sustainability matters.

Plastic bottles are a practical and economic option. They are light, durable and shatterproof, so they are less expensive and easier to ship than glass.

Sports & Health Supplements FAQs

What is the best protein powder storage container?

Plastic buckets are ideal protein powder storage containers 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 the protein powder storage container is opened, the powder 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 protein 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.

Is your packaging food-grade and compliant with UK/EU regulations?

Yes, our plastic buckets, bottles and tubs are food-grade and BPA, and are fully-compliant with UK and European food packaging legislation.

Can Invopak support growing supplement brands scaling production?

Yes, we have supported growing businesses with the packaging they need, when they need it, for over 50 years. It means we have the expertise and relationships with manufacturers to source the right packaging, including custom IML tubs and buckets, or custom colours. Just get in touch with the team to explore your options.

Do you offer low minimum order quantities for startup sports nutrition brands?

Yes, our minimum order value is just £50, and many goods can be ordered by the pack. And as a wholesaler supplier, you get access to better products at a better price than a standard online retailer.

Can you supply sustainable packaging for sports nutrition supplements?

Yes, sustainability matters to us. We do not sell single-use plastic products. Our HDPE and PP jars, bottles and buckets are easy to clean and re-use. You can also choose from a wide range of glass containers if you're looking to go plastic-free. All of our containers can also be fully recycled after use (unlike laminated pouches).

Do you offer both stock and custom packaging for supplements?

Yes, stock products are fast and easy to order directly from our website. Our standard lines include plastic jars, clear tubs, buckets, bottles and jerry cans. We are also specialists at custom-branded packaging, so if you need a specific colour or IML printed containers, we can help with that too.
