Beatson ‘two-caps’ jar design saves costs for spice company

14 March 2013


Glass containers manufacturer Beatson Clark has produced a bespoke spice jar, which can be used with two different types of cap, for Belgian spice brand ISFI.

The UK-based glass company worked with sister company, distributor Pont Europe in the Netherlands, to create the new 100ml jar.

The “unique” neck finish design is said to accommodate both types of cap already used by ISFI, removing the need for the Belgian spice company to purchase two sets of neck equipment for the same jar.

The neck finish is also designed with an anti-rotation lug so that products making use of a grinder cap cannot be refilled by the consumer.

“We had the idea but we needed to find a manufacturer which was prepared to work with us to come up with a design solution,” says Bas Van Der Knaap, purchasing manager at ISFI Spices.

“Not only will this new innovation save us money on mould equipment, it will also enable us to consolidate five spice jars in our range to just three.”

The new product is already being sold in Belgium, and Beatson Clark plans to offer the new neck finish for other spice jars in its portfolio.

“Beatson Clark’s expertise is finding flexible solutions to requests like this, and it’s a win-win for everyone,” says Lynn Sidebottom, sales and marketing director at Beatson Clark.

“The customer gets the container they require and we get an opportunity to extend the innovative design solution to other customers.”
