We provide standard industrial packing solutions and support customized packaging upon request. There are two regular packing sizes: 1kg vacuum aluminum foil bag for sample testing, laboratory formulation trial and small‑batch production; 25kg food‑grade sealed plastic drum for mass industrial production procurement. All packages are equipped with internal moisture‑proof layers to block moisture and light, preventing activity loss of raw materials during storage and transportation. It should be stored in sealed, light‑proof, cool and dry conditions, away from heat sources, open flames and strong oxidants, and avoid drastic temperature changes. The shelf life is 24 months for unopened products. Once opened, it is recommended to consume as soon as possible. Residual materials need to be re‑sealed and stored away from light under refrigeration to avoid degradation of active components. We also offer neutral packing and private label packing services to meet export and repackaging demands of different brands.
