The shelf

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
The largest shelf here, because supply products are jars and bottles and nothing else.

What is here

1,361 rows: 812 containers and 549 closures, from 15 to 2,000 mL with a median of 225. 482 PET, 159 HDPE, 100 glass and 71 PP.

Why it is the largest

Three archetypes feed it, covering dry goods in wide jars, powders in bulk jars and liquids in narrow bottles. Between them they describe most of what a packaging catalog contains.

By family

123 PET single wall jars, 105 PET Boston rounds, 84 PET packers, 57 PET imperial bullet cosmos, 44 glass Boston rounds and 27 HDPE packers.

The jars are for the dry half

Single wall jars with a wide mouth for base, dye and wick, and for mica at the larger sizes. 89-400 at 161 and 70-400 at 122 carry this part.

The bottles are for fragrance

Boston rounds and cosmo bullets on narrow necks, with 24-410 at 232 the single most populated finish on the shelf. Glass where the fragrance concentration demands it.

Only 8 containers reach a litre

Which matters for the powder archetype, whose window goes to 2,000 mL. The wholesale end of a mica range is thin here, and the retail end is well served.

How to shop it

Dry or liquid first, then the unit of sale, then the neck. Those three questions cut 812 containers into a readable list faster than any filter on appearance.

And decide clear or opaque per product

Dye blocks and wick want to be seen. Fragrance oil and some colorants want light protection. There is no single right answer across a supply range and there does not need to be.

PET leads, and it is not always right

482 of the 812. It is clear, light and cheap, and it is also the material with the lowest service temperature in the catalog. For a fragrance oil stored in a warm workshop that is worth checking against the resin chart.

The glass is doing specific work

100 glass containers, 44 of them Boston rounds. They are there for the concentrated fragrance end, where the contents attack plastic and the customer keeps the bottle for a year.

References

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 18 October 2026. The soap and candle supply shelf is 1,361 rows: 812 containers and 549 closures, the largest in the library, derived from three archetypes across five leaves. 482 PET, 159 HDPE, 100 glass and 71 PP, from 15 to 2,000 mL with a median of 225. The closures include 13 spice caps, which is the sifter fitment a jar of mica needs.
Written from 21 CFR 73.2496 and 701.20, and from the catalog as it stood on 18 October 2026. Whether a given color additive is approved for a given use is a question about that additive and that use, and the answer is in the regulation rather than in a supplier description; nothing here substitutes for checking it.
