The Perfect Packaging Solution for Condiments, Sauces, and Honey

When it comes to packaging condiments, sauces, and honey, the right combination of convenience, safety, and shelf stability is key to ensuring both consumer satisfaction and product quality. Sauces, condiments, and honey all have the same ideal packaging in common—an easy, spouted dispensing closure combined with a hot fill bottle. This winning combination provides optimal control, cleanliness, and safety for products that need to stay fresh while maintaining their delicious flavor.

We’re excited to introduce our new 12oz hot fill PP cylinder paired with a tab top dispensing closure, giving you the ultimate squeezable hot fill packaging solution. In this blog, we’ll break down why this packaging method is so effective and how it can benefit your brand.

The Power of Hot Fill Packaging

The need for hot-fill packaging goes beyond convenience—it’s about ensuring the product's safety and extending its shelf life without the need for preservatives. Here's why hot fill packaging is the gold standard for condiments, sauces, and even honey:

• Microbial Safety: Hot filling involves filling the product at high temperatures (between 185 - 205°F), killing harmful microorganisms. This ensures the safety of products like ketchup, BBQ sauce, and honey, preventing spoilage without added chemicals.

• Extended Shelf Life: By eliminating bacteria and sealing the product in an airtight container, hot fill packaging allows sauces, honey, and condiments to stay fresh for months, or even years, on the shelf without refrigeration.

• Preserving Flavor and Quality: The heat treatment during hot filling deactivates enzymes that could alter the flavor or texture of the product over time, ensuring your product retains its original quality.

• Reduction of Preservatives: Consumers today want cleaner labels, with fewer artificial preservatives. Hot fill allows you to meet that demand while still providing a long shelf life. Organic or natural condiments, sauces, and honey particularly benefit from this process.

• Vacuum Sealing for Freshness: Hot filling creates a vacuum seal as the product cools, preventing oxidation, which can cause off-flavors. This is critical for tomato-based sauces like marinara or ketchup, which are susceptible to flavor degradation from air exposure.

Why Spouted Closures Make All the Difference

A spouted orifice on a dispensing closure is ideal for condiments, sauces, and honey for a variety of reasons:

• Control Over Dispensing: Spouted closures allow for precise dispensing, preventing the waste and mess that often come with open-top packaging. Whether it’s ketchup, mustard, or honey, consumers can squeeze out just the right amount every time.

• Hygiene and Freshness: A narrow spout reduces exposure to air and contaminants, keeping the product fresher longer. This is especially important for sauces like sriracha, BBQ, and salad dressings.

• Ease of Use: For products like honey or syrup, which can be thick and sticky, a spouted closure ensures a clean, controlled flow. No more drips or messy pours!

• Portability and Convenience: Spouted packaging is also ideal for on-the-go use, whether it’s ketchup for a picnic or a quick squirt of dressing for a lunch salad.

With our new 12oz PP cylinder and tab top dispensing closure, you get all these benefits wrapped into one easy-to-use package. The spout allows consumers to enjoy their favorite condiments with minimal hassle, ensuring a satisfying experience every time.
