Why pack format is a commercial decision
The same oil can be a supermarket product, a restaurant supply or a factory input depending on how it is packed. Pack format decides which customers you can sell to, how much handling each order needs, how shelf and warehouse space is used, and how labels are applied. Choosing formats before you ask for prices keeps quotations comparable.
The formats below come directly from our catalog. Not every product is available in every size, so each product page remains the reference for what is listed. Outer carton configurations are confirmed in the quotation.
Consumer bottles: 200 ml to 2 L
Bottles serve retail. The 1 L bottle is the most common size in the catalog and covers most cooking oils, from Yok Extra sunflower, canola and coconut oils to all three rice bran oil grades. Smaller sizes are concentrated in premium lines, especially the Naturel olive oils.
At the top of the retail range, 2 L bottles are catalogued for Yok Refined Palm Olein and Yok 100% Soybean Oil, which suit family-size purchases and small food outlets.
- 200 ml: Naturel Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
- 250 ml: Naturel Olive Oil Classic, Light & Mild and Extra Virgin; Yok Refined Palm Olein
- 500 ml: the same Naturel olive oils and Yok palm olein, plus Naturel Coconut Oil, Naturel Canola Oil and Naturel Forte Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 L: most cooking oils in the catalog
- 2 L: Yok Refined Palm Olein and Yok 100% Soybean Oil
Refill packs and the 5 L size
The 1 L refill pack is catalogued for Yok Refined Palm Olein and Moonlight Refined Palm Kernel Oil. Refill packs are aimed at price-conscious shoppers who top up a bottle they already own, and they fit markets where refills are an established retail format.
The 5 L size bridges retail and food service. It is listed for Yok Refined Palm Olein and Naturel 100% Canola Oil, and it suits small restaurants, caterers and cash-and-carry customers who need more than a retail bottle but do not want a large tin.
Food-service formats: 13.75 L, 16.8 L and 18 L
Large formats are the core of restaurant and commercial frying supply. The catalog lists both tin and box options only for Yok Refined Palm Olein, so when you ask for 13.75 L or 18 L palm olein, state which one you want. The other large formats are listed as shown below.
Buyers choosing between tin and box usually weigh handling, stacking and storage conditions at their customers' sites. If you are unsure, tell us how the product will be stored and used and we will discuss the options.
- Yok Refined Palm Olein: 13.75 L tin, 18 L tin, 13.75 L box and 18 L box
- Yok 100% Soybean Oil: 13.75 L box
- Naturel 100% Canola Oil: 13.75 L
- Moonlight 100% Coconut Cooking Oil: 16.8 L bulk format
- Yok Extra 100% Rice Bran Oil: 18 L
Bakery fats and butter blends by weight
Most margarines, fat spreads and shortenings in the catalog are packed in 1 kg and 15 kg. The 1 kg pack suits smaller bakeries and trade counters, while 15 kg is the working format for commercial bakeries and food manufacturers. Zest Gold Margarine Fresh Butter Flavour Formula has the widest range: 150 g, 454 g, 1 kg, 2 kg and 15 kg, so one product can serve both retail shelves and production lines.
The Naturel plant-based spreads (extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and canola oil) are catalogued in 250 ml, a retail size. All butter blends from Zest Gold and Zest are supplied in 5 kg cartons.
Mapping formats to buyer channels
Most importers end up with a mix of formats. A practical approach is to decide which channel each product serves, then choose the smallest set of formats that covers it. Fewer formats means simpler stock control and fewer label versions to manage.
- Supermarkets and grocery importers: 200 ml to 2 L bottles, 1 L refill packs and 250 ml spreads
- Asian grocery and cash-and-carry: 1 L and 2 L bottles, 5 L and 1 kg bakery fats
- Restaurants and caterers: 5 L, 13.75 L, 16.8 L and 18 L formats
- Commercial bakeries: 15 kg margarine and shortening, 5 kg butter blends
- Food manufacturers: 15 kg bakery fats, 5 kg butter blends and large-format oils
