Its own shelf, unlike the other cannabis groups. 84 jars, and half of them wider than tall.

What is here

486 rows: 106 containers and 380 closures. 15 to 237 mL with a median of 118, which is the middle of this library's range rather than either end.

And it is this group's own

Unlike edibles, concentrates, adjacent botanicals, tinctures and vape, which share two shelves between five groups, topicals has its own set of rows.

By material

60 PP and 46 glass, which is a genuine choice rather than a formality. No PET, no HDPE, no metal.

By format

84 jars, 17 bottles, 4 tubs and pails, 1 tube. A jar shelf, which is what a salve and a thick cream want.

By family

23 PP single wall jars, 18 glass straight sided jars, 18 double wall round base jars, 13 double wall straight base jars, 9 glass boston rounds, 5 glass packer bottles, 4 mason and paragon, 4 hex jars, 4 PP round tubs.

By proportion, which is the useful axis here

Diameter 1.0625 to 4.5 inches with a median of 2.37, height 1.25 to 5.38 with a median of 2.5, and 49 of 106 wider than they are tall.

Which matters twice

Once for the product, because a shallow wide jar empties properly. Once for the label, because a wide short container has circumference and little vertical room for a multi-line warning.

By color

28 white, 26 clear, 17 natural, 13 black, 12 amber, 6 blue, 4 frosted. The archetype does not flag this group light sensitive, so the clear count is not a problem.

Buyability, as a snapshot

72 of 106 available, 33 not and 1 unrecorded. 34 quote only. 47 full case only, which is far easier than the 71 of 74 on the tincture shelf.

And the closures are all seals

380 of them and not one applicator, which is the next page.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. 486 rows: 106 containers and 380 closures, and unlike the other cannabis groups this one has its own shelf. 15 to 237 mL with a median of 118; 89 over an ounce, 63 over 4 oz. 60 PP and 46 glass. 84 jars, 17 bottles, 4 tubs and pails, 1 tube. 28 white, 26 clear, 17 natural, 13 black, 12 amber, 6 blue, 4 frosted. Diameter is recorded on 97 containers at 1.0625 to 4.5 inches, median 2.37; height on 104 at 1.25 to 5.38 inches, median 2.5; and 49 of the 106 are wider than they are tall.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The 380 closures indexed to this group include no pump, roller ball, sprayer or applicator of any kind: 240 are plain continuous thread polypropylene lids, 52 metal or aluminum CT caps, 24 dome lids, 24 CT CRC, 11 metal lug or twist caps, 9 sealing discs and 6 round tub lids. The archetype for this spoke specifies plain or child-resistant closures and nothing else, so no applicator was ever eligible. Catalog-wide the same catalog holds 6 glass roller ball bottles at 8 to 30 mL, 6 caps for them and 2 roller balls, along with 15 ribbed pumps, 9 smooth pumps, 7 further ribbed pumps, 7 treatment pumps, 5 airless pump sets and 4 foamer pumps.

Written from 21 CFR 740.2 and 740.10 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 740 is cosmetic labeling; whether a particular topical is a cosmetic or a drug is a determination not made here, and nothing on these pages addresses whether a cannabinoid is permitted in a cosmetic or what any state requires. The 1/16 inch minimum is stated as the regulation states it and no fit is computed, because character width depends on a typeface we do not publish. Availability figures are a single snapshot.
