What goes wrong

240 plain lids is a specification, not a recommendation.

The closure list was read as complete

380 closures sounds like every option. All of them seal and none of them applies anything.

So a cream went into a jar

Which works and is not what the market expects. A pump meters and keeps fingers out, and 47 pump components sit elsewhere in this catalog.

And a roll-on could not be assembled at all

A roller ball needs a bottle with a retaining collar, a ball and a cap. Six bottles, two balls and six caps exist and none are indexed here.

Absence was inferred from the shelf

Which is the same error the vape property names. A curated shelf is a specification, and a specification cannot tell you what it excluded.

The patch leaf was searched for

A transdermal patch is a laminate article needing a pouch and a carton. Nothing in a primary container catalog is one.

Hot fill tolerance was not checked

A salve is poured warm and sets in the jar, and 60 of the 106 containers here are PP against 46 glass. The two behave differently under a hot pour.

The liner was left unspecified

33 closures here are recorded No Liner and 30 have nothing recorded. For an oily salve that creeps along a thread, the liner is the part that matters.

A blank liner field was read as no liner

It is an absence of data. We do not fill it with a guess, so a blank means ask rather than assume.

And the bath soak was expected to scale

The archetype stops at 250 mL and the shelf tops out at 237. A real soak format is a litre or more and is not in this group.

Ask what the specification excluded

Which is the general lesson. Here it excluded every applicator, by listing plain and child-resistant closures and nothing else.

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.

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. Liners on the closures: 119 heat induction seal, 51 F217, 47 pressure sensitive, 33 No Liner, 32 Plastis standard, 30 unrecorded, 27 foam, 25 PE foam. Buyability, a snapshot: 72 available, 33 not, 1 unrecorded; 34 quote only; 47 full case only.

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.
