Tins and rollers

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page13
10 tins and a complete roller ball system.

Ten tins

9 round tins plus a tube, and 9 of the 140 containers are steel with one more in metal. Almost no other shelf in this catalog has a tin.

A tin is for a solid

A balm, a salve or a solid perfume. Which also means it falls outside the methyl salicylate paragraph, because that paragraph reaches liquid preparations.

Same ingredients, different physical form, and a rule written for liquids does not reach a solid as drafted.

Steel is also the inert option after glass

With the caveat that an unlined tin and an aggressive oil are a chemistry question, and we publish no tin lining.

The roller ball system is complete

6 glass roller ball bottles and 7 caps for them, plus the roller balls themselves in the catalog. Bottle, ball and cap.

Which is the whole assembly, and that is rare

The cannabis topicals group has a roll-on leaf and no roller component on its shelf at all. These same parts are indexed here instead.

So the routing worked for one group and not the other

Which is worth publishing from the side that got the parts. The index made a choice and the choice is visible.

A roller is a dosing device

Like a dropper, it meters. 43 dropper assemblies and 6 roller bottles between them cover the two ways an oil is applied.

And both are plastic in contact

A dropper pipette bulb and a roller ball housing are plastic, which brings the in-actual-contact question back whatever the bottle is made of.

And the tins have no neck finish recorded

Which is correct, because a tin closes with a slip or screw lid across its full diameter rather than on a thread. 21 of the 140 containers here have no neck finish and the tins are among them.

So a tin cannot be matched by neck

The fit is a diameter fit and it has to be checked against the diameter field rather than against a thread code.

2 lip balm tube caps and a lip balm tube

Which is the third solid format here, small and present. For a solid perfume stick it is the article.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The 6 glass roller ball bottles in the catalog, together with 7 caps for them, are indexed to this group, where they serve the roller blend leaf. They are not indexed to the cannabis topicals group, which has a roll-on leaf and no roller component on its shelf at all.
16 CFR 1700.14(a)(3): "Methyl salicylate. Liquid preparations containing more than 5 percent by weight of methyl salicylate, other than those packaged in pressurized spray containers, shall be packaged in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 1700.15 (a), (b), and (c)." The opening of subsection (a) reads: "The Commission has determined that the degree or nature of the hazard to children in the availability of the following substances, by reason of their packaging, is such that special packaging meeting the requirements of Sec. 1700.20(a) is required to protect children from serious personal injury or serious illness resulting from handling, using, or ingesting such substances, and the special packaging herein required is technically feasible, practicable, and appropriate for these substances:" The other substances named in that subsection are not enumerated on these pages. law.cornell.edu
Written from 16 CFR 1700.14 and 1700.15 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Nothing on these pages says whether any essential oil is safe or hazardous, and nothing addresses dilution, exposure or use. The paragraph quoted here names methyl salicylate at a 5 percent by weight threshold; the other substances in 16 CFR 1700.14(a) are not enumerated here and absence from a list is not a safety finding. This shelf holds no child-resistant closure and the catalog holds no pressurized spray container, so neither of the two compliant routes in that paragraph is available from it.
