Plastic Round Containers for Pickle Packaging: Advantages and Challenges with the Press Filter
Round plastic containers have become the most popular choice for packaging pickles on the market. This is not by chance but due to several factors that make this type of packaging ideal for pickled products. At Sadko Plast, we understand the importance of providing practical, efficient solutions that ensure the quality of food products, which is why we developed the press filter—an innovative feature that guarantees the highest quality for consumers.
Why Are Round Plastic Containers the Best Choice for Pickle Packaging?
Round containers offer multiple benefits that make them a top choice for pickles:
- Even Liquid Distribution: The circular shape allows for even distribution of brine within the container, helping maintain the freshness of the pickles and preventing drying.
- Stability During Transport and Storage: With uniform pressure distribution on the container walls, round containers remain stable and are less prone to warping or damage.
- Ease of Use: Round containers are generally easy to open and close, making them a consumer-friendly option that is practical and convenient.
The Impact of Sadko Plast’s Innovative Press Filter
The press filter is a new technology developed by Sadko Plast to improve the quality of pickles packed in round containers. This filter regulates pressure within the container and removes excess air, leading to extended product freshness. Not only does this innovation extend the shelf life of pickles, but it also enhances their flavor and texture.
Benefits of the Press Filter:
- Extended Shelf Life: By removing excess air, the press filter reduces the chance of bacterial growth that can spoil the pickles.
- Product Freshness: This filter helps ensure that the brine covers the pickles entirely, keeping them fresh for longer.
- Maintained Texture and Flavor: Balanced pressure within the container helps preserve the fresh texture and ideal flavor without alterations due to air exposure.
