Choosing the right spice grinder for your needs is essential for many reasons. The right grinder needs to be suitable for the product you are selling. It also needs to be suited to your primary distribution market. Grinders sold in the retail industry will differ from those used in hospitality, for example.
Likewise, grinders used as promotional products or corporate gifts will be very different to those used in restaurants or hotels. Even within each sector, there are many variables to consider.
A large-scale spice producer selling seasoning in supermarkets will have more limitations on size and shape due to the need for products to fit onto shelves. A smaller producer selling seasoning in boutique stores, farmers’ markets or similar outlets with less stringent space requirements will have more variety in bottle size and shape.
While standard bottles and grinders are the most obvious choice for every type of spice producer, the wide variety of alternative sizes and styles can help provide a competitive edge for producers looking for something that is better suited to specific needs and audiences. In this guide, we will take a look at the main shapes and styles, to help you choose spice grinders that are just right for your products.
Choosing Spice Grinder Shapes and Sizes
When it comes to spice grinders, size matters. Style and shape matter, too. From mini promotional grinders to larger bottles used for hospitality sectors, the variety of grinders and bottles offered at Global Grinders ensures that there is something for everyone. Sizes and styles to consider include the following:
Small
Small or mini grinders are compact and made to fit onto small glass bottles or PET bottles. Our selection of mini grinders includes fully adjustable push-pull grinders as well as our snap-on, non-removable grinders that are designed to fit our shapely 80ml PET bottles. Mini grinders are a perfect choice for promotional products, corporate gifts, camping, picnics, airline meals, samples, and any other instance that requires a minimal amount of seasoning.
Medium
Medium or standard grinders are the most commonly found type of grinder, sold commercially and used in restaurants, hospitality, corporate gifting, and many other sectors. Bottles in this size include our original glass and flared glass bottles, along with our tapered, straight, snap-on, dumbbell, rectangular, indent, round PET bottles and taller styrene bottle.

Large
Large grinders are typically used in the hospitality industry – especially in catering sectors that require larger volumes of seasoning. Restaurants, hotel kitchens, school cafeterias, coffee shops, and various other businesses use these bottles as an economical alternative to smaller or medium bottles. Large bottles are typically made from PET. The Global Grinders large PET bottle range includes 325ml and 375ml flared bottles as well as large-volume capacity 1l rectangular and 1l indent bottles.
