The shelf, by material
On this page9
What is here
664 rows: 234 containers and 430 closures, derived from two archetypes across six leaves. Capacities from 5 to 946 mL with a median of 118.
By material
143 HDPE, 50 polypropylene, 31 glass, 9 steel and 1 LDPE. Compare that with almost any other shelf on this site, where PET leads, and the difference is the resin chart doing its job.
By family
27 PE cylinder rounds, 23 HDPE packers, 18 PE imperial bullet cosmos, 16 more PE cylinder rounds, 16 PP round tubs, 15 more HDPE packers, 14 glass Boston rounds and 11 PP single wall jars.
The packer is the workhorse
A straight-sided bottle with a wide shoulder and a wide mouth, in opaque HDPE. It fills easily, it pours without glugging, it takes a brush cap or a spouted closure, and it looks like what it is.
The round tub is for the thick end
16 PP round tubs for a decoupage medium or a wax finish, where the product is taken out on a brush or a cloth rather than poured. Those are the leaves whose dispensing is scoop rather than pour, and the shelf reflects it.
Two archetypes, two size bands
The adhesive and finish products sit in a 50 to 1000 mL window. Wax finish sits in a 5 to 70 mL window on the small tin archetype, which is a genuinely different product sold in a genuinely different container.
The median says more than the range
118 mL. This is not a bulk category at the point of sale. It is a craft where people buy a modest container of something specific, use it on a project, and come back.
What to shop it by
Material first, from the chart. Then neck finish, because that decides both the applicator and whether a child resistant option exists. Size last, because by then the field is small enough to see.
