Varieties
Coconut Oil is highly versatile, and it finds different uses among various types of consumers. To address these different usages, Cocoguru has a wide variety of products/packages. Each product combines different oil types, packaging materials, and pack sizes.
Oil Varieties
Roasted – Copra pieces are roasted before oil extraction. This enhances the taste and aroma of copra and has a longer shelf life.
Cold Press – Copra pieces are not roasted, so they have the natural taste and flavour of copra. Traditionally, coconut oil was made this way.
Virgin – Fresh coconut is used to make Virgin coconut oil. It has a crystal clear appearance and a long shelf life. It is considered the best form of coconut oil.
Packaging Material
Different packaging materials offer different packing costs, storage and dispensing options.
Pouch
Coconut oil is packed using Flexible Packaging film with high barrier properties. Proper sealing is done with Automatic Packing Machines to ensure that oil doesn’t leak and lasts longer. This is the least expensive form of packing as the quantity of packing material used is the lowest. Coconut oil is recommended for consumers of cooking oil in this form of packing.
Jerry Can
Jerry Cans are white but opaque. They come with an easy-to-carry handle to carry a heavier weight of oil. Families buy Jerry cans for cooking use. They are pretty strong, and the container can be used for several years.
HDPE Bottles are blue and opaque. The bottle neck is covered with a flip-top cap for easy dispensing of a small quantity of oil. This form of packaging is ideally suited for Hair Oil consumers. It is also the most expensive form of packaging. A higher weight of packing material is used correspo nding to the quantity of oil packed.
PET Bottles
PET Bottles are transparent, and the Oil packed inside is visible. The bottleneck is sealed with a Wad to ensure the oil is free from air contact, the bottle is leak-proof and tamper-proof, and the oil is fresh when opened. The bottle is closed with a flip-top cap at the top for convenient dispensing of oil. This packing is more expensive than a pouch.
Bulk Packing
For bulk use, such as Industrial, Re-packing, or cooking, bulk containers like Cans and Barrels are used. Cans hold 30 kg, and barrels hold 200 kg.
