General questions
We don’t require MOQs, but we offer quantity price breaks—the more you buy, the more you save. Each product lists an initial pack size (safe pack), which is the minimum orderable quantity. You can order in multiples of this number (e.g., if the pack size is 12, you can order 12, 24, 36, etc.). Some products may have specific MOQs for shipping efficiency. Check product descriptions or contact us for details.
Yes, we offer in-house printing services on Miron glass, including screen printing and hot foil stamping. Screen printing provides high-precision decoration, while hot foil stamping adds elegance and depth with a metallic finish. We also offer spray coating, transfers and decals, and digital printing. Please note that our minimum order for screen printing is 500 pieces per design, and for hot foil stamping, it is 1,000 pieces per design. More information more information more details, please contact one of our sales representatives.
Glass Product Questions
The violet colour can best be seen by looking through a single wall of the jar or bottle toward a bright light source. This will make the violet colour more easily visible.
Hot-end coating is a protective layer that is sprayed on the glass when it comes out of the oven. It is applied when the glass is at a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. The glazing hardens with the glass and gives it a protective layer that prevents the glass from being easily scratched during the transport and filling process. If you consider printing directly on the bottle or jar, your printer should remove the coating before printing. Please contact your sales representative if you need more information on this process.
Miron glass can be identified by our logo, which is positioned on the bottom of each container. One exception is the wide cosmetic jars. In this case, the logo is located in between the threads. If you have any concerns about the authenticity of a product, or have any additional questions, please contact us. One of our sales representatives will be more than happy to assist you!
Neck finish numbers are made up of two separate numbers that are separated by a backslash (for example, 18/400). The first refers to the diameter (in millimeters) across the outside of the glass’s threads. The second number refers to the thread style, taking into account the number of threads and how often it wraps around the neck. It is used to determine the number of turns required to seat the lid on the container.
Miron Violetglass is more than just luxurious, purple-coloured glass; it is a unique, patented, special blend of minerals that are combined to make a miraculous glass. It is the only type of glass that acts as a filter to block the full spectrum of light, allowing only violet light and UV-A / InfraRed to penetrate the glass. As a result, the nutrients and vitality of natural and organic ingredients that are stored in Miron Violetglass are naturally enhanced and perfectly preserved!
The materials in glass do not physically have any consequences on the products stored in the glass. Glass itself does not release or absorb anything from a product, having no effect on its taste or aroma. Glass is both waterproof and gas-proof and is not affected by climate variations. It also has a high resistance to chemicals. Glass can easily be sterilised which makes it very hygienic.
Unlike plastic, glass can safely store food without leaching chemicals into it. It is also waterproof and gas-proof, as well as fully recyclable.
Usage Questions
We do not recommend storing liquid products in our apothecary jars as it can be difficult to pour liquids from them. Additionally, although the closures for our apothecary jars are 99% airtight, there is a slight risk that liquid product could leak. However, they are great for storing spices, tea, solid honey, vitamins, food, and much more!
Sometimes the apothecary jars can be a little difficult to open at first. One easy solution is to tap the side of the lid with a wooden spoon to help loosen it.
Closure Questions
While most closures fit multiple bottles, this is not always the case. This is because there are multiple lengths of dip tubes. It is important to make sure you select the right pump for the bottle. If you need help, please reach out to your sales representative. They will be more than happy to assist you.
Seals cannot be used for any liquid product due to the interaction of the liquid with the glue used. Keep in mind that aluminum seals, like the ones that are typically found on cosmetic containers, require a machine for application. These cannot be applied to a container by hand. However, we will be happy to put you in contact with someone who can assist with this. The seals that we provide can only be used for dry products in jars.
Since most of Mirons products are made with industry standard neck finishes, other closures should fit our glass. Please note that several of Mirons glass containers (including the Ceres, Eris, and Sirius design series, and the Carina 500ml Vitamin Jar) feature a unique thread that cannot easily be found in other places. These containers only work with specific closures that can be found at Miron. All of closures supplied by Miron are made in Europe by top-of-the-line suppliers. If you purchase closures from another supplier, we cannot guarantee that they will fit or be leak free. Miron 100% guarantees that all its own closures and accessories work with the corresponding violet glass items. If you decide to use a closure from another supplier, we recommend that the compatibility of the glass and closure is properly tested first.
Quality questions
All Miron glass bottles and jars go through a rigorous quantity test where we measure the weight, content, dimensions, and other categories for any irregularities. Machines on the production line measure for wall thickness, perform crack testing, and conduct impurity testing on samples throughout the production to ensure that quality is of the utmost excellence.
We suggest immediately checking the delivery for any noticeable damage. If you notice that product(s) are not in acceptable condition or any other irregularities, please reach out to your sales representative immediately. To see what information you need to gather, please refer to the “What if I have a complaint?” section.
We stand 100% behind the quality and durable of our products. However, situations do arise where our product arrives damaged when delivered. We ask that you collect the following information: item numbers (including the quantity ordered and an estimate of the number of damaged products), the order number, the badge number, a description of the complaint, and photos of the damage. Once you have gathered the information, please reach out to your sales representative with this information and they will work with the customer service team to resolve your issue quickly.
Sustainability questions
Yes, we are very proud to say that Miron Violetglass is 100% recyclable. However, we encourage our customers to find a second (or third or fourth…) use for our glass products. Whether it be to store natural products at home, or use to store items at the office, our glass products are very robust and can be used multiple times for many different needs.
Currently, Mirons closures and lids are made up of an assortment of both single and mixed material items. For example, the closures for our apothecary jars are made entirely out of glass. Alternatively, the pipettes are made from multiple materials (the cap, bulb, and glass). In this case, each of these items needs to be disposed of separately. While not all our closures/lids can be recycled at this time, we are looking into possible alternatives so that we can provide more sustainable options in the future.
Miron Violetglass is distributed all over the world. Each country and region may have different rules or regulations when it comes to recycling glass. We advise that you check the rules for your local municipality to confirm what is accepted in the local recycling program.
