FAQ
Tinplate Khatam containers provide an absolute barrier against ultraviolet and visible light, preventing photo-oxidation of crocin. Unlike glass, they eliminate transit breakage risks in air and maritime shipping while lowering freight deadweight and maintaining strict hermetic seals against ambient moisture.
Multi-language regulatory label printing on the underside or protective outer carton is standard. For volume OEM contracts exceeding minimum production thresholds, customized lid embossing or co-branded secondary gift cartons can be accommodated.
Sorting and filling occur inside certified cleanroom environments. Products undergo microbial load screening, yeast/mold plate counts, and salmonella/coliform pathogen verification under strict GMP protocols, ensuring microbial safety without high-heat irradiation that destroys aroma.
Each Khatam tin is wrapped in protective shrink-film or individual sleeve boxes, nestled within molded pulp trays. Master cartons consist of heavy-duty 5-ply die-cut corrugated board engineered to withstand high stacking compression (BCT certified) without denting tins.
Authenticity is established beyond macroscopic visual checks through spectrophotometric scanning and HPLC/TLC chromatographic testing. This rules out synthetic food colorants (tartrazine, Sudan dyes) and non-saffron bulking agents, conforming to ISO 3632 authenticity metrics.
Standard fill weights for Khatam tins comprise 1g, 2g, 5g, 10g, and the traditional Iranian Mesghal (4.6g). For volume commercial clients, tin dimensions and filling volumes can be customized against target price brackets.
