Paperboard is a sustainable source that takes far less energy to manufacture then materials like plastic, aluminum or glass. It is renewable, biodegradable and recyclable. In testing, a jar made of 100% paperboard degraded in less than one year! Aside from all of those attractive perks, the look of these paperboard tubes and jars is where a lot of the appeal lies; they are modern without being cold, simple without being boring and different without being strange. All of which are features that made them an easy choice for our favorite products of 2012.

Plastic Tubs

Last but certainly not least are our 8 oz, 16 oz and 32 oz Clear Deli Tubs. It's difficult to pick just one thing that makes this item a favorite but let's start with the tamper resistant lid. To remove the lid you simply pull up on the corner tab. Once the container has been opened the tab remains bent and upright notifying you that the package has been tampered with. A convenient feature of these tubs is that the 8 oz, 16 oz and 32 oz all take the same lid, making it that much easier for you and your customer. Lastly these containers are made of100% PCR, meaning they are made completely of recycled materials! Offering you a product that is convenient and environmentally friendly, two things you rarely see in one package!
