<\/span>Round glass jars or square glass jars?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
Both shapes\u00a0 \u2013 round or square do matter \u2013 both in attracting the end user as well as influencing their purchasing decision. <\/span>Both square and round glass bottles and glass jars have their own unique characteristics, and in no way, one is superior than the other.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To make your choice easy, listed below are factors that you can consider while selecting the right shape for packaging your product: round glass jar or square glass jar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>1. Strength of the Glass Jar<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Generally, roundness of the bottle helps equalize the pressure across the surface. <\/span>On the other hand, due to uneven pressure, the square shaped bottles have high probability of getting chipped at corners.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>2. Automation and conveyor handling<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Machine filling of a product in round glass jar is much faster and efficient compared to square ones.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>3. Preference by end consumer:<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Round shaped bottles are relatively more comfortable to hold, and this reason makes them right choice for everyone in general, and the kids in particular.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
In fact, bottle holders in baby strollers and diaper bags are also designed to handle round-shaped bottles.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>4. Labelling of Glass Jars<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Labeling on both round-shaped and square shaped bottles is easy, depending on whether it is being done manually or mechanically.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Applying labels mechanically on round bottles is relatively easier and consistent. <\/span>If done manually it is same for both.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>5. Vertical Load<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Vertical load in round bottles is higher than in square bottles, and thus you can load and stack higher in the round bottle.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>6. Ergonomics<\/strong>:<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

In simple terms, ergonomics is about designing for people, with an objective of increasing efficiency and productivity and reducing discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Round shaped bottles are more ergonomic to hold than their square counterparts.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>7. Cost Factor<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Other things remaining same, since round glass bottles are lighter than their square counterparts, they tend to be cheaper as weight is less.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>8. Aesthetic Considerations of Glass Jars<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Square shaped bottles are aesthetically more pleasing than the round ones.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Thus, the square ones are more likely to attract user\u2019s attention, and help customers recognize your brand immediately.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>9. Ease of Use<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
It is easier to scoop out the products from a round glass jar, as in square bottles, products get stuck in corners<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>10. For Export Purpose<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
The carton size for round glass bottles\/glass jars is always bigger than their square counterparts. In case of exports, volumes matter a lot, and thus square bottles are preferable.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
