5-Color Proprietary Spoon-in-Lid Jar ($0 Mold Fee = Save $7,000) vs. Traditional Glass Jar & Separate Spoon Packaging
Launching a viscous botanical paste in traditional heavy glass jars creates three severe B2B bottlenecks: high breakage rates in e-commerce fulfillment, sticky unhygienic consumer spoon dipping, and $7,000+ (¥50,000) custom cap injection mold fees. YONG FOOD opens its proprietary 5-color Spoon-in-Lid Jar (integrated folding/snap spoon sealed inside a dual-deck dust-proof lid above an electromagnetic aluminum-foil induction liner) to OEM buyers with $0 mold fee from 1,000 units—cutting freight weight by 68% and eliminating transit breakage.

Why Secondary Water Contamination Ruins Glass-Jar Herbal Pastes After Opening
Even when a botanical electuary is cooked to Aw = 0.642, consumers dipping a wet kitchen spoon into a standard jar introduce free water droplets (`Aw = 1.00`) onto the paste surface, triggering localized mold within 10 days. Our integrated dry-compartment spoon ensures consumers always scoop with a dedicated, clean, dry utensil.
Frequently Asked B2B Procurement & Formulation Questions
Q: Can we mix two or more lid colors within a 1,000-jar OEM order to differentiate SKUs?
Verified Factory Answer: Yes. Because we hold all 5 lid colors (Red, Gold, Green, Black, White) in continuous warehouse stock, you can split a 1,000-jar order into two 500-jar colorways at zero surcharge.
