1. Saffron Packaging Design in the East Asian Countries

The countries including China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. located in the eastern part of Asia use mostly crystal cans such as Azin and Gohar as well as metal ones. Saffron packaging containers in East Asian countries are usually supplied in low volumes such as 1g, 2g, etc. The design of metal cans for saffron packaging in the East Asian countries is usually threaded or made of light metals such as aluminum; such raw materials used in metal containers of saffron packaging are very light and the related transportation costs are highly economical. As such raw materials are plentiful in these countries, they are very cheap. For the secondary saffron packaging, the East Asian countries also use wooden packagings such as wooden boxes with Azin and Gohar designs. Wooden secondary packaging is designed with the possibility of laser printing and engraving on them.

3. Saffron Packaging Design in European and North American Countries

Saffron Packaging Design in European countries is simple and in cool and faint colors such as white, despite the Asian and Arab ones. Saffron packaging designs in these counties are usually monochrome, with logo and brand. That is why the price of the saffron secondary packaging is remarkably economical. The material of Saffron packaging containers in European countries is recyclable such as borosilicate glass. Considering the regulations and standards such as green packaging in European and North American countries, the saffron manufacturers and exporters have to use glass containers in the saffron packaging. In this article, we examined thoroughly the advantages of glass containers of saffron according to this standard as well as those of such packaging design. These containers are very expensive due to being exported and the related transportation costs are not economical, as they have been made of weighty raw materials.

From ancient times, polycrystalline saffron packaging containers including Azin and Gohar as well as round crystal containers have been frequently used in the Central Asian countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Thus, saffron metal packages are popular in these countries since ancient times. Saffron packaging is much diversified. Rather, it is consumed daily in Iran and neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. For this reason, saffron packaging design is created in low volume containers such as 1g and 2g rather in higher volume ones like 50g. Saffron sellers in Iran and Central Asian countries are attempting to use at least inexpensive and economical packaging for their products; that is why paper and cardboard packaging is also widely and frequently used in Iran and East Asian countries.
