7 Times Our Plastic Containers Saved the Day

We know what you’re thinking: Nalgene Outdoor is the best-of-the-best when it comes to water bottles.

We’ve made a name for ourselves with water bottles that are incredibly sturdy, designed for reducing single-use plastic waste, and particularly useful (like our wide mouth bottles, which fit ice cubes and fruit infusions). And while we’re proud that our Nalgene bottles are ready for whatever life has to offer and that they’re designed to come with you everywhere, we’ve stepped it up a notch. We’ve taken our next-level bottles, and applied that same technology and passion to something else: our plastic containers.

That’s right – we didn’t just stop with our incredible water bottles, because we believe in innovation, and we saw how useful these Nalgene Outdoor containers could be. Our plastic containers are built to protect what you love, whether it’s your favorite at-home snack, food for the trail, little odds and ends from around your house, or art supplies for craft time. They’re designed with all of the same features you know and love about your Nalgene bottles, and are stackable, air-tight and leak proof.

From helping you stay organized to preserving what you love, our plastic containers are built to last a lifetime. So go ahead, fill our plastic containers with your favorite foods, drinks, art supplies, and knick knacks that you normally lose. Your storage system will never be the same.

Are Our Plastic Containers Worth The Hype (Short Answer: Yes)

Let’s start with the basics: when you can buy any old plastic container, what makes our plastic containers so special? Well, Nalgene Outdoor is a company that was Born From Science and is built on innovation. So after we perfected the Nalgene bottle, we simply had to take that same technology and apply it elsewhere. That’s how we ultimately created the perfect plastic containers. And we promise, they’re not like all the rest.

 

Here’s what makes our plastic containers the best ones you’ll find: 

 

They’re stronger: Our plastic containers are made with Tritan, so you know they’re built to last. Tritan is a specific plastic that is tough, lightweight, and superior when it comes to safety and performance. Tritan is part of what makes our Nalgene bottles so incredible, and it’s also what makes our containers high-quality and different from the rest.

They’re safe: Our containers are BPA/BPS free, you know these containers are food-safe. Pssst… in general, Tritan doesn’t contain BPA, BPS or any other bisphenols.

They’re designed with you in mind: Whether it’s sticky foods or your children’s paints, we know that life can get a little bit messy. That’s why these plastic containers are also dishwasher safe, meaning you’ll have an easy clean up when the time comes, and that they’re perfect for just about anything.

They’re leak-proof: Drips and droplets no more. Our containers are leak-proof guaranteed, thanks to our continuous, straight shouldered semi-buttress threads. That’s the same technology that keeps your Nalgene bottle sealed tight when you’re on the trail. That means our containers are reliable, whether they’re sitting on your kitchen counter, or packed away for a weekend backpacking adventure. 

Our Plastic Containers, To The Rescue

One of the best things about our plastic containers? That they’re perfect for just about any situation, from the kitchen to the great outdoors. Here are 7 times our plastic containers saved the day:

Keeping snacks fresh on the road

Just about nothing is more exciting than packing your bags for a long trip, whether it’s a day trip out of town, a weekend road trip, or a cross-country flight. But of course, you’ll need some fresh snacks along the way. Our 4oz storage jar is perfect for nuts, seeds, and other little treats, and it’s sure to keep them fresh for days. Never chow down on stale snacks when you’re on the road again.

Helping us keep our kitchen cabinets organized

If you ask us, one of the most aesthetically pleasing things in our homes is a kitchen cabinet that’s organized with our plastic containers. Your dry pasta, beans, and oats have never looked better. Plus, you won’t have to deal with half-open boxes that spill, and forgotten foods that turn stale before you get to use them. If you’re looking to level-up your kitchen game, our 32oz Storage Jar and 8oz Storage Jar are great options.

Not to mention our fridges

It’s not just kitchen cabinets. Our plastic containers are also perfect for your refrigerator. Keep berries bright and fresh, vegetables organized, and leftovers ready to eat with our containers. Plus, as we mentioned, our containers are stackable, meaning you can make the most of your space, and keep things organized.

Craft-time made easy

If you have tiny tykes, you know just how fun craft time is, but also how quickly it can become a mess. Buttons, beads, paints, and small toys will be right at home in our plastic containers, instead of spilling all over the place, getting lost, or drying out. Plus, our containers have wide mouths, meaning they’re perfect for scooping and pouring.

Trail snacks, for the long haul

When you’re on the trail or setting up a campsite, the last thing you want after a long day of hiking is stale food and snacks. Maximize food freshness with our plastic containers. Our containers are lightweight, meaning they won’t add much weight to your pack, and they’re sturdy, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking (as you would with a glass container). Plus, these containers are leakproof, so you can say goodbye to finding unpleasant messy surprises in your backpack.

Homemade drinks kept fresh

Whether you simply want to keep cool water in your fridge, or you’re a fan of homemade beverages like lemonade or iced tea, our containers are built for keeping your drinks fresh. Our 64oz Growler is designed with an easy-to-hold shape, and of course, is dishwasher safe and BPA/BPS free.

It’s about the small things

Is it just us, or do the little things around the home tend to get lost, even in the depths of a designated “junk drawer?” Well with our containers, you can keep track of those little things that tend to mysteriously disappear. Toothpicks, nails, buttons, and matches will never be lost again, and our containers are perfect for keeping all of the small things safe and organized.
