Purchasing Wholesale Spice Grinders for the Retail Sector
Some of the things to look for when purchasing spice grinders in bulk include the following:
- Bottles. Grinder bottles are available in glass as well as PET plastic. Sizes are also varied. The standard size of grinder bottle is 100ml, which typically holds around 124g of herbs or spices. The base diameter is 45mm, while the height of the bottle is 125mm. Glass is often considered higher end as a product, while plastic is excellent for budget retail outlets. In today’s eco conscious world, many consumers are concerned about plastics. PET plastic offers an eco-friendly option that is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate. Up to 100% of these bottles can be recycled, making them excellent for concerned consumers. Glass bottles are also fully recyclable and reusable meanwhile.
- Grinders and Closures. You will also need to consider the grinder tops as well. Generally speaking, the type of grinder you use depends on the type of spice you are selling. Many shop owners purchase spices and herbs in bulk, which are then decanted and sold in smaller quantities. Herbs and spices are often sold with flip top closures fitted with sprinkler holes. Finer herbs and spices are sold with multi-hole closures, with coarser products sold with teaspoon or open sprinklers. Salt, pepper and other whole spices are sold with grinders.
- Linings. If you are selling herbs or spices, it is vital that they stay fresh on the shelf. Tamper proof linings do not only protect your product – they also ensure that customers are not able to open the spices that are being sold in store. These are often a requirement for ISO regulated retail outlets. Even if you have a home based business, stale herbs, spices or seasoning can quickly lead to customer complaints and refunds.
