A 630-fold range

By Dwight Davis, Founder

Updated

On this page13
From a spice jar to a five gallon pail.

The range

30 to 18,927 mL with a median of 177. Which is a 630-fold spread and the widest on any shelf measured in this library.

And it is genuinely used at both ends

156 containers over 4 oz, 45 over 8 oz, 36 over a quart and 20 over a gallon. So the bulk end is not a handful of strays.

The median is a household spice jar

177 mL, which is 6 fluid ounces. The commonest size on a shelf that stretches to five gallons.

Why a range that wide works here

Because the group covers a household spice rack and a bulk refill of the same product. The same physics at two scales.

By format

158 jars, 24 tubs and pails, 22 bottles and 1 tube. The tubs and pails are the bulk end and they close with a lid rather than a thread.

Which shows in the neck data

28 of the 205 containers have no neck finish recorded, and those are the tubs and pails.

The thread distribution is wide too

54 at 70-400, 36 at 58-400, 28 at 89-400, 11 at 53-400, 9 at 48-400, 8 at 110-400. Six finishes with real depth, which is more than most shelves here.

70-400 is the one to standardize on

54 containers, which is the largest single group and a comfortable spice jar mouth.

Four materials across the range

97 PET, 53 PP, 31 HDPE and 24 glass. The glass is concentrated at the small end and the pails are polyethylene.

Buyability is middling

129 of 205 available and 75 not, with 76 quote only. So more than a third of the shelf has no published price.

But the case packs reach down to 8

From 8 to 6,370 with a median of 280, and only 32 of 205 are full case only. For a first run that is approachable.

A case pack of 8 and one of 6,370 on one shelf

Which is the same 630-fold spread showing up in the buying unit as well as in the capacity.

Written from 21 CFR 101.22(a)(2) and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That definition is aimed at a spice from which volatile oil has been removed deliberately and is not a shelf-life rule; nothing here says how long any spice keeps or whether any product has lost volatile oil. The spice lists in 21 CFR 182.10 and part 184 are cross-referred in the section and are not enumerated here. There is no one-way degassing valve anywhere in this catalog.
