Saffron packaging

Types of saffron packaging

Saffron, the red gold of Iran, is one of the most well-known products of our country that is sold in global markets. This product can be packaging in many ways. Saffron packaging is done in glass, polycrystal, metal, wooden, cardboard containers, as well as envelopes, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, high weight and fragility are the big weaknesses of glass containers. Although polycrystal containers have less weight and are more resistant to brittleness, they have a high price that discourages some customers from choosing them. Even though metal and wooden packaging are very stylish, you can’t maneuver much on their design. Cardboard envelopes, which are other methods used in saffron packaging, are not resistant to pressure and may cause saffron to crumble. In the meantime, one of the most used methods in saffron packaging is the use of plastic materials. Today, plastic is one of the most widely used materials in the Food packaging industry. Plastic has a special place in the production of saffron. This material has special features such as low weight, high plasticity, high production speed and low price. Plastic also has a very good resistance to moisture and helps a lot to keep saffron dry and preserve its flavor. For this reason, whatever gender you choose to package your product, you will eventually need a plastic package. For example, if you order cardboard boxes, you should wrap saffron in plastic for the final packaging to preserve its properties.

Export saffron packaging

Iran is one of the largest producers and exporters of saffron in the world. One of the most important elements in exporting saffron to foreign countries is its packaging. The suitability of the packaging of exported saffron, which is known as the red gold of Iran, is very important. Exported saffron containers should be among the highest quality and best containers. When saffron is placed inside these containers and sent to foreign countries, it shows the validity and authenticity of Iran. For export saffron, they mostly use inlaid and crystal containers and wooden packs. But it is interesting to know that plastic packaging, both nylon and cellophane, have no shortage compared to other types of packaging, both in terms of attractiveness for sale and behind store windows, and in terms of quality and resistance. Plastic packaging has high printability, which makes it possible to print all kinds of luxury designs on them with the best quality. A stylish design and its combination with gilding printing will create a positive and new experience in the saffron export market. In addition to the beauty of appearance, the materials of these packages are such that they have a high resistance to moisture and sunlight. Considering that exported saffron must travel long distances with different weather conditions to reach its destination, packing it in cellophane will preserve its aroma, taste and color.

Bulk packaging (kilo) of saffron

Most of the saffron produced in the country is sold in bulk and raw. Many local saffron producers are farmers who prefer to sell their saffron for domestic or foreign consumption without intermediaries. They need cheap packaging to pack their saffron, which is in large quantities. In such cases, Nylon and cellophane packaging in large sizes are very practical. If packages with less weight are needed, standing envelopes can also be suggested, which are sewn by small household packaging machines. These envelopes are more stylish than bulk plastics, and with their help, saffron can be packed in packs of specific weight.

Partial packaging of saffron

Retailers and partial suppliers of saffron are usually local stores such as attari, or people who work in the field of home packaging. For sales that are not done on a large scale and it is not wise and economical to use a printed package, we suggest using small non-printed packaging nylons such as Nylon zip cap. Zip caps are easy-to-use packages that are very suitable for dry foods such as saffron, where all the contents of the package cannot be used in one serving. Cellophane envelopes are also suitable packaging for saffron retailers that need to be sewn with home packaging machines. The cellophane packaging is more transparent and shiny than the nylon samples and shows the saffron color well.

Plastic printing of saffron packaging

One of the advantages of nylon and cellophane packaging is their very high printability, which makes it possible to make all kinds of beautiful designs on them. Printing on saffron plastic is done according to the needs of the market and customer’s taste in two designs, fully printed and printed with a transparent window. Due to the fact that placing saffron in front of the customer’s view is a positive point for marketing and attracting customers, most of the saffron sellers prefer the window type to the fully printed type. The customers of saffron printed plastics are usually factories and production workshops. Retailers often prefer clear, unprinted packaging that costs less.
