It’s not often that we have new web pages. So I’m happy to write this post on a whole series of new pages devoted to packing instructions for our industrial aluminum bottles. It’s not the most exciting topic. No luminous, glow-in-the-dark aluminum bottles. No artsy designs using big name fashion designers. But it’s an important topic […]
We’re exhibiting at the 2012 World Perfumery Congress to be held in Connecticut in June.

Since I’m in the business, I often take for granted the advantages of using industrial aluminum bottles vs. other packaging alternatives. One of the most basic and overlooked advantages is physical weight. I took four 1-gallon bottles and weighed them. Here are the results: Glass : 2.95lbs Tin : 0.97lbs Aluminum : 0.64lbs Plastic HDPE […]
