What's the Deal with the Red Plug on My Gallon Bottles?

Have you ever looked at one of ReadyCare’s liquid gallon bottles and wondered what on earth that red plug is doing there? You’re not alone! We’re here to share the story behind the red plug, what it means for you, and why it’s essential to maintaining our high standards for product quality with every shipment.

The Origin of the Red Plug

Once upon a time, ReadyCare distributed its products, including liquid gallon bottles, to clients using a different shipping method than we use today. Though our current shipping method is far superior in many ways, we realized that we needed to come up with a solution to mitigate any breakage issues with our liquid gallon bottles so our clients would receive the premium product they have come to expect from ReadyCare without any problems. The answer-- a red plug at the top of each liquid gallon bottle to help stabilize it during shipment and avoid breakage caused by being damaged during shipment. The red plug helps ensure liquid freshness for each gallon bottle we fill in our Denver warehouse and prevents gallon bottles from becoming damaged on their way to your property.

What Does Liquid Freshness Mean to Me?
