If you sell desi ghee, achaar, honey, or spices in Pakistan, the jar you choose affects your costs, your shipping losses, and how customers judge your brand. This guide answers the most common questions buyers ask about martaban jars, so you can pick the right one with confidence.
Clear food-grade PET martaban jars — the modern standard for ghee, pickle, honey, and spice packaging
What is a martaban jar?
A martaban is a traditional wide-mouth storage jar used across Pakistan and South Asia for centuries to store ghee, pickles, honey, grains, and spices. Originally made of clay or glass, today's martaban jars are most commonly made from clear food-grade PET plastic, which keeps the same wide-mouth shape and visual appeal while removing the risk of breakage. Modern martaban jars come with airtight screw lids that seal in freshness and prevent oil leakage.
Which jar is best for packaging desi ghee in Pakistan?
For desi ghee, the best choice is a food-grade PET martaban jar with a leak-proof, threaded screw lid. Ghee is sold by weight and shipped long distances, so two things matter most: an airtight seal that stops oil from leaking during courier transport, and shatterproof material that survives rough handling. PET jars deliver both, and because they are transparent, customers can see the golden colour and quality of your ghee before they buy.
Best for achaar and pickle businesses
Pickle and achaar are oily and acidic, so they need food-safe jars that will not react with the contents. Clear PET martaban jars with airtight lids keep achaar fresh, prevent spills, and let buyers see the product. Wide mouths also make filling and scooping easy on a production line.
Are plastic martaban jars safe for food?
Yes. Quality martaban jars are made from virgin food-grade PET, which is BPA-free and safe for direct contact with ghee, honey, pickles, and spices. Food-grade PET is the same material used worldwide for packaging edible oils, sauces, and beverages. Always buy from a supplier who confirms the jars are food-grade and made from virgin (not recycled) material, as Malik & Company does.
Why choose PET plastic martaban jars over glass?
Glass looks premium but creates real problems for anyone shipping at volume: it breaks in transit, it is heavy (raising courier costs), and it is more expensive per unit. PET martaban jars solve all three while keeping a glass-like clarity. Here is a direct comparison:
| Factor | PET Martaban ✅ | Glass / Tin |
|---|---|---|
| Breakage in transit | Shatterproof | Breaks easily |
| Cost per unit | Lower | Higher |
| Weight / courier cost | Light | Heavy |
| Product visibility | Clear view | Clear (glass) / None (tin) |
| Leak-proof lid | Yes, threaded | Varies |
Great for spices and dry fruits too
The same clear martaban jars work beautifully for spice sellers and dry-fruit packers. The airtight seal locks in aroma and freshness, while the clarity shows off colourful contents like red chilli, turmeric, almonds, and dates.
What sizes do martaban jars come in?
- 250g – 500g — small retail packs for honey, spices, and sample-size ghee
- 1kg — the most popular size for ghee and achaar retail sales
- 2kg – 5kg — family packs and bulk storage for ghee, pickle, and grains
- Bulk / commercial — larger jars for restaurants, caterers, and wholesalers
