Nine liners and sealing discs. Steel points in a damp garage is what they are for.

What is here

297 continuous thread, 27 dome lids, 18 lug and twist, 9 liners and sealing discs, 6 round tubs, 5 phenolic, 5 specialty and 2 lip balm tubes.

The plain cap is correct for most of it

297 continuous thread. A component jar is opened, something is taken out, and it is closed. No dispensing mechanism is wanted or needed.

The liner is what stops the rust

9 liners and sealing discs. Field points are steel and a garage is damp, and the liner is the difference between clean points and spotted ones after a winter.

Which is the one specification to actually order

Everything else on this shelf works as supplied. The liner is the component that is left blank and is the one that matters for this craft.

Dome lids for the jars you open constantly

27 of them. A fletching session opens the same three jars repeatedly and a lift-off lid is quicker than a thread.

Lug and twist for the wax

18 of them. A quarter turn, a flat seal, and it closes reliably with waxy fingers, which a fine thread does not.

Round tubs for a larger wax

6 round tubs and 12 tubs and pails. Wide, shallow and finger-accessible, which is the shape bow wax wants.

And 2 lip balm tubes

A push-up tube is a genuine format for bow wax, applied to the string without touching it. Two is the honest count.

Standardise the neck across the rack

56 containers at 89-400 and 56 at 70-400. One neck across twenty jars means one box of spare lids.

Phenolic where something lives for years

5 of them. Not needed for dry components and the right answer if a solvent-based fletching glue is being stored alongside.

Nothing here is designed for a range bag

A closure that survives being dropped, sat on and rained on is not a specification this catalog records. The rack is a garage object and the bag needs purpose-made gear.

Buy spares with the rack

Lids crack, get lost and end up on the wrong jar. In a twenty-container system they are the consumable.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The archery shelf is 647 rows: 277 containers and 370 closures. 5 mL to 500 mL with a median of 118; 30 containers at 15 mL or under, 45 at 30 or under, 86 at 60 or under, 142 at 120 or under. 117 PET, 87 PP, 64 glass, 9 steel. 227 jars, 27 bottles, 12 tubs and pails, 9 tins, 2 tubes. 96 clear, 51 white, 33 amber, 28 natural, 27 black. Closures: 297 continuous thread, 27 dome lids, 18 lug and twist, 9 liners and sealing discs, 6 round tubs, 5 phenolic, 5 specialty. Necks: 56 at 89-400, 56 at 70-400, 36 at 58-400, 16 at 53-400.

The archetype behind this shelf is store-small-dry: 15 to 500 mL, wide mouth, 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. Four of the five leaves are small dry parts and the shelf is 227 jars against 27 bottles, which is the closest archetype-to-shelf match in this library.
