Packaging Science: How Ultraviolet Glass Jars Work

Ultraviolet glass jars are the latest addition to the packaging world. Strong and surprisingly heavy, you can mostly find them at premium supermarkets and grocery shops, where they are used to store herbs and other food products. Lately, some businesses have also started using them for packaging cosmetics, but their use in the space remains fairly limited.

Ultraviolet glass jars have a blueish tint. In pictures, however, you’ll see them completely black. The glass on them is nice and thick.

So what makes ultraviolet glass jars unique?

Ultraviolet glass jars are unique in the sense that they block visible light of different wavelengths (except for violet) and allow maximum amount of infrared and high energy ultraviolet light rays to pass through.

Visible light, as we know, is the key of life. Along with water and oxygen, it provides ideal conditions for organisms—including microorganisms—to grow.

Microbial growth is the last thing you need when you’re dealing with packaged products. It can reduce the potency of the products, and in some cases like herbs and food, it can even make the products unsafe for use.

So by blocking visible light, ultraviolet glass jars prevent microorganisms from contaminating your packaged products, thus keeping them fresh, potent and flavorful.

Additionally, by allowing infrared and ultraviolet energies to pass through, ultraviolet glass jars expose your packaged products to the highest amount of bio-energy at the safest level possible, which kills off any bacteria and pathogens that may be present in your products.

Lastly, ultraviolet glass jars provide an airtight packaging, which makes them perfect for storing oxygen-sensitive products.
