PACKAGING TIPS:
When considering what type of container
to use you should follow the recommended recipes and always test products
for compatibility prior to use. Certain products store better in colored
containers rather than clear where issues of light permeability are
a concern. Also some types of oils work better with glass rather than
plastic so it is always recommended to know your ingredients and test
accordingly. When it comes to choosing the right container size you
may find it helpful to use a conversion chart. We are currently updating
our website to include this resourceful information so that you can
convert your measurement whether dry or liquid into the proper units
to find the container that will most suit your product. Also, some of
our containers are measured by liquid volume while others are by weight.
There are also some great online resources for measurement
conversions such as:
