Jar Product Testing Introduction

jar-product-testing-introduction<p>I had so much fun doing product testing for the tins that I decided I had to try it with jars. Container &amp; Packaging Supply has lots of different <a title=Jars href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/plastic-jars/8/>plastic jars</a>, and I had quite the selection to pick from. There were different colors, shapes, sizes, bases, and more when I started looking through the product catalog, so I just picked a few to test. With the tins, I tested how much each one would hold using everyday household items (also known as candy and cookies¦). I think I'll avoid adding extra pounds to my hips and try a different type of testing with these plastic containers.</p> <p>Since there are three main cylindrical jars, I decided to test their strength and durability in normal situations. What will happen if I accidentally drive over a ¼ oz. single, double, or thick walled jar? Who knows, my kids might booby-trap the garage and put all sorts of jars under my tires (they are boys, after all). Will I be able to smash an 8 oz. single walled jar just by standing on it, or will it require jumping? What kind of effect will a sharp pointy object have on different jars? What other ways can I figure out how weak or strong the different jars are? I'll limit the types of tests to one per jar size just because I don't expect the jars to survive some of the tests.</p> <p>I am hoping that, by doing these strength and durability tests, I will provide a measure, though quite unscientific, of how the three types of jars compare with each other. This should, in turn, help you decide what jars will be best for your products. Do you need an ultra-strong jar, or will a nice flimsy one suit your needs? Stay tuned to these tests, and we'll see what interesting results we find.</p>
