No glass at all

The count
133 PET and 30 HDPE. No glass, no polypropylene, no metal. The narrowest material set of any large shelf in this library.
And it is right
A supplement jar is shipped in volume, handled by a consumer daily, and often sold online. Glass is heavy, breaks, and costs more to ship.
PET is the clear option
133 of 163, and 55 of the shelf is clear. A gummy sells on appearance and PET shows it without the weight.
HDPE is the opaque one
30 containers. Opaque, tougher, and the traditional choice for a tablet that does not need to be seen.
Which is the one real material decision here
Show the product or protect it. 55 clear and 25 amber plus 35 white and 16 black is the shelf split.
Light matters less than moisture for these products
A gummy degrades by taking up water rather than by photodegrading, which is why the liner pages matter more than the color here.
Capacity runs 75 to 950 mL
With a median of 355. 88 containers over 8 oz, 68 over a pint and 15 over a quart, so the large formats are there for a bulk count.
And 17 of 163 are full case only
Which is the easiest full-case position of any shelf measured in this library. The tincture shelf is 71 of 74.
But 67 of 163 are quote only
So the price is not published on 41 percent of the shelf, measured as a snapshot on one day.
PET is also the recyclable answer most buyers expect
Which is a commercial consideration rather than a regulatory one, and it is part of why 133 of 163 containers here are PET rather than polypropylene.
And neither material is a moisture barrier on its own
The wall slows exchange and the closure decides it. Which is why the liner pages matter more on this shelf than the material count does.
Case packs run 12 to 3,150
With a median of 252. The 12 is approachable for a first run and the 3,150 is a commitment that has nothing to do with the container being right.
