Grade C Questions

Grade C containers typically cost 40-50% less than Grade A food-grade containers. With bulk discounts, savings can be even greater. This makes them an excellent choice for applications where appearance doesn't matter.
What kind of cosmetic issues might Grade C containers have?
Grade C containers may show staining, discoloration, fading, surface scratches, label residue, minor dents, or surface oxidation on metal parts. All containers are verified as structurally sound and leak-free despite cosmetic wear.
