Olive oil is a product closely linked to our culinary culture, but it is also a food that requires appropriate storage conditions. From production to consumption, packaging plays an important role in protecting the product and preserving its characteristics.

Metal packaging has traditionally had a strong presence in the olive oil sector and remains a relevant solution today. Its protection, durability, range of formats and customisation options make it a particularly attractive choice for olive oil producers, cooperatives and brands.

Protecting an preserving olive oil

Good olive oil needs packaging that helps protect it during storage and sale. Exposure to light is one of the external factors that can affect its properties.

In this respect, the opacity of metal packaging prevents direct exposure of the oil to light, helping to preserve its characteristics throughout its commercial shelf life.

In addition, the strength of metal provides reliable protection during handling, storage and transport. Packaging therefore serves not only to present the product, but also to protect it throughout the distribution chain.

Formats and closure systems tailored to every need

Not all olive oil producers have the same needs. The type of product, quantity, sales channel and intended use all influence the choice of packaging.

Metal containers for olive oil are therefore available in different capacities and formats, including cylindrical and rectangular options, allowing the packaging to suit different product types and market positioning.

The closure system is another important consideration. Specific solutions for the olive oil sector help protect the contents while making the oil easier to use and dispense.

Choosing the right combination of format, capacity and closure system allows the packaging to meet the specific needs of each project.

Packaging that also helps brands stand out

Packaging is also a communication tool. In a market with a wide range of products, it can help an olive oil stand out and convey the brand’s values even before the consumer tastes it.

This is where metal packaging combines tradition and modernity particularly well. Tins retain an image historically associated with olive oil, while today’s design and customisation options make it possible to create packaging with a contemporary appearance tailored to each brand.

Colours, graphics and finishes can make packaging a distinctive feature, especially for premium olive oils, special editions, gift products and brands looking to strengthen their presence at the point of sale.

Alongside this versatility, the material offers another characteristic: tins are recyclable and can re-enter the production cycle, an attribute that is increasingly influencing companies’ packaging decisions.
