Dry goods storage containers come under two categories, home ware and industrial. While the two basically do the same thing one is to a much grander scale and is characterized by what and how much you are storing. Items can include stock feed, human foods; like flour, or gardening products; like fertilizers.
There are home ware dry goods storage containers, which are famously known as Tupperware, starting their world domination in 1945 and becoming a global sensation in the 50's and 60's. Then there is the tougher and grander side to the dry goods storage containers, the industrial dry goods storage containers.
Industrial dry goods storage containers come surrounded by legal requirements to ensure safety, just like dangerous goods storage, such as risk management, which is mainly used for the storage of dairy products, and biosecurity certificates. These rules and regulations are a necessity to control the sector because dry goods storage containers can store so many items from gardening, stock feed and human foods to types of textiles and chemicals, all of which are also known as nondurable goods. Nondurable goods are items that may have a limited shelf life or specific needs, such as not be contaminated with moisture, and therefore need dry goods storage containers to keep them at their best for the longest period.
The main aim for a dry goods storage container is to keep the items at their best and this is achieved by specific controls such as temperature, light levels, moisture and air to suit the specific needs of the item.
Items such as flour, rice, dehydrated dairy products and meal require different settings so to prevent the products from spoiling or becoming contaminated. For example yeast requires airtight dry goods storage containers and should be stored in the refrigerator and can be frozen for longer usage. Another example is flour, which also needs airtight dry goods storage containers and freezing to kill bugs that survive the milling processes. Chemical fertilizers also need dry goods storage containers to stop the risk of contamination.
If an item requires specialist dry goods storage containers for it to keep and its storage does not follow those requirements then the following problems can occur. Microbial growth where bacteria, yeasts and moulds can occur in foods and can result in spoiling and even food poisoning, moisture gain or loss can result in a loss of nutrients, flavour and colour of items, chemical changes due to light and temperature changes can lead to vitamin loss, spoilage and colour and flavour changes. Dry goods storage containers protect against spoilage by rodents and insects. Flavour contamination by odours from storing food near other strongly smelling products can be prevented by good quality dry goods storage containers.
Overall the main aim of dry goods storage containers is to prolong the shelf life of a product, which can be at risk of contamination or spoiling if it isn't stored correctly.
