A jar shelf, and the area boundary runs through the middle of it.

What is here

418 rows: 163 containers and 255 closures. 75 to 950 mL with a median of 355, which is the mid-range of this library.

By material

133 PET and 30 HDPE, with no glass at all. Which for a shipped consumer supplement is the right set.

By family

111 PET single wall jars, 14 HDPE single wall jars, 7 HDPE packer bottles, 5 PET packer bottles, 4 plastic spice bottles. Overwhelmingly one format.

By neck

69 at 89-400, 40 at 70-400, 15 at 58-400, 11 at 53-400, with a tail of 38MM, 63-485, 100-400 and 75-400. Wide, as a gummy jar should be.

By area, which is the axis this property is about

Side-wall area computable on 147 of 163, from 12.06 to 84.25 square inches with a median of 33.4.

91 in the 12 to 40 band and 56 over 40

And none below 12. So the small-package relief at 4.5 point never applies here and the intermediate relief at 6 point applies to most of it.

By color

55 clear, 35 white, 25 amber, 16 black, 14 blue, 9 green, 7 natural, 2 dark amber. A genuine range, which is unusual on these shelves.

Buyability, as a snapshot

96 of 163 available and 67 not. 67 quote only. Only 17 full case only, which is the loosest full-case position measured in this library.

Case packs 12 to 3,150

Median 252. A 12 pack exists, which for a first run on a supplement is genuinely useful.

255 closures against 163 containers

Which reflects a narrow set of wide necks with many compatible lids rather than a wide range of closure functions. 167 of the 255 are a plain continuous thread lid.

And the dimension fields are unusually complete

Height on 152 and diameter on 147 of 163, which is what makes the area bound computable on most of the shelf. On several other shelves in this library it would not be.

The one thing to check before anything else

The liner, which is the next page. For a hygroscopic confection it decides whether the product survives the shelf.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Height and diameter are both published on 147 of the 163 containers in this group, which allows the cylindrical side-wall area to be computed. It runs 12.06 to 84.25 square inches with a median of 33.4: none under 12 square inches, 91 in the 12 to 40 band and 56 over 40. The smallest is an 88.7 mL PET single wall jar, 2.875 inches across and 1.335 inches tall, at 12.06 square inches. These figures are the side wall only and are therefore a lower bound on the regulation's measure, which is the total surface area available to bear labeling.

Written from 21 CFR 101.36 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. The surface area figures here are computed from published height and diameter and are the cylindrical side wall only, which is a lower bound: the regulation measures the total surface area available to bear labeling, and that is more. Nothing on these pages sets out what a Supplement Facts panel must contain, which ingredients may be used, or what claims are permitted. A dietary supplement's serving size is determined by reference to the amounts in 21 CFR 101.12(b) rather than by the maker.
