Glass salt and pepper shakers produced in Turkey, sold singly and as two-piece sets, in plain, opaque, painted and decorated finishes. Shakers are small, dense and inexpensive to ship, which makes them one of the most efficient articles to add to a container that is already carrying bulky goods.
Shakers are an impulse article with a fixed place on the table, so they sell in pairs and they sell on finish. A plain pair covers the value shelf; painted, opaque-touch and decorated pairs carry a gift price for very little extra cost per piece. Most buyers list three finishes and no more.
The hole pattern is the functional difference that shoppers notice after purchase rather than before. Coarse sea salt blocks a fine pattern, so if your market cooks with coarse salt, list the wider pattern and say so in the listing — it prevents the most common complaint in this category.
Because the cartons are small and heavy, shakers are useful load ballast. They fill the gaps left by baskets and bins without adding measurable volume, and they raise the average value per cubic metre of the container.
For private label the sleeve or the printed cap does the work; the bodies themselves are usually left plain so a single article can serve several customers.

Both — singly and as two-piece salt and pepper sets. Sets are the stronger retail article in most markets.
Wider patterns for markets that use coarse sea salt, finer patterns for table salt. Stating this in your own listing prevents the most common customer complaint.
They are dense and low-volume, so they fill the space left by baskets and bins and raise the value per cubic metre of the load.
Yes, normally through a printed sleeve or cap while the glass body stays plain.
