Containers

The shelf

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
No compartment boxes and no flat storage. The two formats this craft uses most.

What is here

1,136 rows: 646 containers and 490 closures. 5 mL to 2,000 mL with a median of 118.

By material

351 PET, 117 glass, 100 HDPE and 78 PP. All four are non-magnetic, which matters for one leaf and is otherwise unremarkable.

By format

376 bottles, 255 jars, 13 tubs and pails and 2 tubes. The jars are the part of this shelf the craft actually wants.

By size

25 containers at 15 mL or under, 84 at 30 or under, 183 at 60 or under and 336 at 120 or under. The small end is real and it is where a parts collection lives.

The families that matter

123 PET single wall jars, 26 PP single wall jars, 20 glass straight sided jars and 22 double wall round base jars.

The PET single wall jar is the parts jar

123 of them. Clear, light, stackable, cheap enough to buy forty, and wide enough to get a finger in. For this craft it is the format.

What is missing, first

Compartment boxes. A modeller sorting fifty screw sizes uses a divided tray, and there is not one in this catalog. A tray of forty small jars is the substitute and it is a real one.

What is missing, second

Anything flat. Photoetch frets and decal sheets are rectangles that must not bend, and every container here is a cylinder or a tub.

Which are both worth saying at the start of a conversation

A customer looking for decal storage is not served here. One looking for forty matching parts jars is served well.

How to shop it

One jar size, bought in quantity, clear, with a lid that latches. Then a second size for the few things that need it. Resist buying forty different containers.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The model parts and paint shelf is 1,136 rows: 646 containers and 490 closures. 5 mL to 2,000 mL with a median of 118; 25 containers at 15 mL or under, 84 at 30 or under, 183 at 60 or under, 336 at 120 or under, 522 at 250 or under. 351 PET, 117 glass, 100 HDPE, 78 PP. 376 bottles, 255 jars, 13 tubs and pails, 2 tubes. 175 clear, 141 white, 101 amber, 61 blue, 60 natural, 47 black. Closures: 288 continuous thread, 32 disc top, 31 child resistant, 26 spouted, 22 dome lids, 19 lug and twist, 14 phenolic, 13 spice caps, 11 liners and sealing discs, 10 flip top.
The archetype behind this shelf is store-small-dry: 15 to 500 mL, wide mouth, no closure requirement, PP and PET and glass, cold, solid, chunky, scooped, with "small dry parts, wide mouth to get fingers in, clear so you can see what is inside" as its stated reason. Eleven of the twelve leaves are dry parts, so the archetype describes the craft correctly, which is uncommon in this library.
Written from 16 CFR 1501.4 and 16 CFR 1262, and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. No cylinder dimensions appear anywhere in this property, because the rule gives them in a figure rather than in its text. Whether a particular part or magnet passes either test is a determination about that article; we sell the container it is kept in. Whether a kit is a children's product is the four-factor test covered in the resin jewelry property.
