36 disc tops and 19 flip tops. No lotion pumps and no fine mist.

What is here

381 continuous thread, 39 child resistant, 36 disc top, 26 dome lids, 26 spouted, 19 flip top, 13 spice caps, 11 liners and sealing discs and 9 phenolic.

The archetype names four dispensing types

Flip top, disc top, lotion pump and fine mist. Two of those are here in quantity and two are not present at all.

Which matters less than it sounds

A lotion pump is wrong for chain lube and a fine mist is wrong for sealant. The two that survived are the two this craft actually uses.

Spouted closures for the lubricant

26 of them. Applying lube to a chain is a precision pour onto a moving part, and a spout is what makes it possible without covering the rim.

Disc tops for a thicker wax

36 of them. One-handed, controlled, and they reseal cleanly, which a bottle that lives in a saddlebag needs.

The liner is the sealant specification

11 liners and sealing discs. Latex skins at any air it reaches, and the liner is the only thing between a half bottle and a solid one.

Phenolic where the carrier is aggressive

9 of them. For a solvent-carried lube the traditional resistant closure, and a small set.

Spice caps for the chalk

13 of them. A sift-and-pour closure is the nearest this catalog comes to a chalk dispenser.

And 39 child resistant closures

Not required by anything in this property. For a workshop in a house with solvents and sealant on the bench, a reasonable voluntary choice.

Standardise the neck for the parts jars

A workshop ends up with a dozen small jars of fasteners. One neck means one box of spare lids rather than a drawer of orphans.

Dome lids for anything scooped

26 of them. A wax lube in a tub, or chalk, is taken out with a finger or a scoop, and a lid that lifts off beats one that threads.

And buy the closure with the bottle

A continuous thread cap is 381 of the 589 closures here and the liner is what varies. Ordering the bottle and assuming the cap arrives right is how a sealant dries out in storage.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The cycling and climbing shelf is 972 rows: 383 containers and 589 closures. 5 mL to 2,000 mL with a median of 237; 17 containers at 15 mL or under, 25 at 30 or under, 77 at 60 or under, 132 at 120 or under. 174 HDPE, 147 PET, 42 PP, 20 glass. 188 bottles, 173 jars, 17 tubs and pails, 3 jugs, 2 tubes. 137 white, 72 clear, 69 natural, 37 black, 33 amber.

The archetype behind this shelf is store-liquid-decant: 15 to 120 mL, narrow mouth, flip top or disc top or lotion pump or fine mist, PET and HDPE, cold fill, thin, aqueous, poured, with "travel decant, leakproof under pressure change is the whole requirement" as its stated reason. It describes the two wet leaves at a travel scale, and the shelf is workshop sized: median 237 mL against a 120 mL ceiling.

Written from 16 CFR 1500.121 and 1500.14, and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Whether a given lubricant or sealant is a hazardous substance under the Act is the formulator's determination, not ours. No point-size conversions appear here because the regulation specifies fractional inches as the height of a capital letter. Climbing area rules on chalk are set by land managers and vary site by site.
