Talking about the current situation of glass packaging in the beverage packaging market

Glass packaging is a long-established packaging material, and glass packaging bottles are also traditional beverage packaging containers in China. In the case of a variety of packaging materials flooding the market, glass packaging containers still occupy an important position in beverage packaging because it has packaging characteristics that cannot be replaced by other packaging materials, but the usage begins to decrease drastically.

The main features of glass packaging and packaging containers are: non-toxic, odorless, transparent, beautiful, good barrier properties, airtight, rich in raw materials, low in price, and can be used repeatedly. Moreover, it has the advantages of heat resistance, pressure resistance and washing resistance, and can be sterilized at a high temperature or at a low temperature. Because of its many advantages, it has become the material of choice for many beverages that require high packaging containers, such as fruit tea and jujube juice. However, glass packaging and packaging containers also have some shortcomings: mainly self-important, easy to break, high transportation costs, poor secondary processing performance such as printing, resulting in a significant reduction in usage. Today, large supermarkets have basically no glass on the shelves. Packed as a container of beverages, in the schools, small shops, canteens, small restaurants and other places where consumption is not high, you can see the traces of cheap glass packaging bottled carbonated drinks, soy milk and herbal tea.
