What are people saying about the Eco-Friendly 4 oz Kraft Paper Jars | Plastic-Free Packaging?
I LOVE using Greenway Containers! These are fantastic and are such a hit with my customer base!
I have used Greenway's packaging ever since I made the switch to biodegradable packaging for the products in my business that allow for it, and I haven't looked back since! I love the innovation of their packaging and how they create so many different options for different types of products. I currently use Greenway for my body butters, lip balms, and will be trying their sample jars soon. The one thing I will say is if you're using something like a melted balm, it is harder to clean up spills/leaks than with something like plastic or glass. But the benefits far outweigh the negatives in my opinion. Excellent product, good shipping times on the free shipping tier—what’s not to love! I will look into their custom options as my business expands.
Amazing quality, love the color options, love the customer service.
How to use
Simply fill the jar with your chosen product, such as balms, creams, powders, or solid cosmetics. Once filled, secure the lid with a gentle twist or upward pull for a snug closure. These jars are designed for easy handling and lightweight travel, offering a sturdy yet eco-conscious alternative to glass. Please note that they are not airtight and are not recommended for liquid storage. After use, the jars can be cleaned and reused multiple times. When they reach the end of their life cycle, they can be responsibly composted or recycled, leaving behind no waste.
