Universal design expansion adds square-shaped containers to Glasslock's Hunmyeongjeongeum lineup
SGC Solution, a lifestyle glassware company, has launched the Glasslock Hunmyeongjeongeum square container.
The product incorporates a "universal design" intended for use by both visually impaired and sighted users. The company said it developed the new square container — expanding on the capacity and shape of its earlier model — following strong interest in Braille-marked containers after the 2024 launch of the Hunmyeongjeongeum rice container. Moving away from the original round shape, the square form makes it easier to store generous portions of rice, banchan and soups. The company said it broadened the container's versatility so users can adapt it conveniently to a variety of foods and storage needs.
The practical square structure combines Braille markings on the lid — designed with visually impaired users in mind — with Glasslock's glass manufacturing technology. Users can heat frozen rice to a moist finish in the microwave by keeping the silicone lid closed and opening the steam vent on top. The company added that the container also makes it easy to reheat frozen or everyday foods, and to portion and store three to four servings of rice or soup at a time.
Available in sizes ranging from 450 milliliters to 900 milliliters, the containers accommodate single and multi-person servings alike. A modular stacking structure allows for efficient storage.
"Made from domestically produced heat-resistant tempered glass, the containers can be used safely in microwaves and other kitchen appliances without concern about harmful substances," Glasslock said. "Safety wings on both sides of the silicone lid allow users to remove the container from the microwave without burning their hands."
