162 containers on this shelf are at or above the line.

The simplest reading of the statute

A bottle at six ounces or more is not a small plastic bottle. It may be plastic, it may be nonreusable, and it may contain shampoo.

Which suits some properties very well

A vacation rental, a suite, a boutique hotel with longer stays. Places where a bottle lasts several guests and the amenity is part of the experience rather than a daily consumable.

And badly for others

A high-turnover motel replacing a six-ounce bottle per stay is buying far more product than it was, which is the economics that pushed the industry to dispensers.

The in-between answer is replacement rather than removal

A larger bottle topped up or replaced when empty rather than per guest. That is a housekeeping policy, and it is the thing that makes the larger bottle work financially.

What the shelf offers at that size

162 containers at or above six ounces, led by 65 PET Boston rounds and 32 PET imperial bullet cosmos, with 12 glass Boston rounds among them.

The closure decides the experience

31 lotion pumps and 37 disc tops on this shelf. For a bottle that stays in a bathroom across several guests, a pump is a better object than a cap and it reads as more considered.

Label it for the room

A bottle a guest handles is a brand surface. For a property that has moved away from branded miniatures, the larger bottle is where the identity now lives.

And check the other states

A six-ounce threshold is California's. A supplier serving several states should design against the strictest definition rather than per state.

So the question is replacement policy, not packaging

A six-ounce bottle works where it serves several guests and does not where it is thrown away after one. The container is the same object either way, and the housekeeping rule is what decides whether it makes sense.

New York, Illinois and Washington have enacted comparable measures on their own timetables and with their own definitions. This property quotes California because that text would serve to us. Read the statute that applies to the state you are supplying rather than assuming the definitions match; the capacity threshold, the named products and the room-count tiers are all places they can differ.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 18 October 2026. The hospitality shelf is 688 rows: 390 containers and 298 closures, 300 PET, 62 HDPE and 28 glass, from 15 to 500 mL with a median of 118. Measured against six US fluid ounces, 228 containers fall under the line and 162 are at or above it. Of the 28 glass containers, 13 are under 6 oz and the definition does not reach any of them.
