Differences Between Regular Glass Food Boxes and Vacuum Alternatives

Food storage has made great strides forward, and today glass food containers are a popular choice for both sustainability and functionality. But what is the real difference between regular glass food containers and the more advanced vacuum options? Here we explore the benefits of our vacuum glass containers.

1. Difference in Freshness

Ordinary glass food boxes are excellent for storing food, but they cannot prevent contact with oxygen, which accelerates food spoilage. Vacuum technology creates an oxygen-free environment that slows bacterial growth and keeps food fresh up to five times longer.

2. Ease of use

Vacuum containers are easy to use and often come with accessories like vacuum pumps. This makes them ideal for meal prep and long-term storage. Read more about how vacuum technology facilitates meal prep.

3. Storage for Long-Term Needs

With standard glass food boxes, food can be stored in the fridge and freezer, but vacuum options are particularly good for freezing food without risking frost damage or loss of taste.

4. Environmental benefits

Both options are recyclable and environmentally friendly. But by using vacuum technology, you can extend the shelf life of food and further reduce food waste. Explore our range of glass food containers for sustainable options.

Which Should You Choose?

If you want a simple solution for daily storage, ordinary glass food boxes can suffice. But for those who prioritize durability, freshness and long-term storage, the vacuum alternatives are a superior choice.
