Zero containers above 120 mL. On a shelf with a shampoo leaf.

The ceiling is the finding, not the median

The largest container indexed to this group is 120 mL and there are 2 of them. Nothing above. A shampoo or a conditioner needs four times that.

And the shelf is concentrated at the bottom

30 of the 80 containers are 30 mL, 14 are 118 mL, 11 are 15 mL and 11 are 59 mL. Four sizes account for 66 of the 80.

Nine containers are under 15 mL

3 at 10 mL, 3 at 7 mL and 3 at 5 mL. Sample sizes, which no leaf in this group is for.

The second absence is the dispensing closure

198 closures and not one pump, sprayer, mist sprayer or foamer. For four of the six leaves that is the article the product is defined by.

The third is format

No tin and no tube on this shelf, which rules out the two balm leaves and the dental gel leaf before capacity is even considered.

The inventory itself is written up next door

Families, colors and neck finishes are a near-subset of the aromatherapy shelf, which shares this archetype, and that property enumerates them. No point stating it twice.

What is worth stating here is the buying position

77 of the 80 containers are full case only. Three are not, and they are a 120 mL blue glass packer bottle at a case pack of 42, a 50 mL amber boston round, and a 59 mL clear boston round with no case pack recorded.

Case packs are large

42 to 768, with a median of 264. The commonest are 288 on 9 containers and 240 on 8, so a typical commitment here is a few hundred units.

Unit prices are low

21 cents to $2.24 with a median of 56 cents, and 14 cents to $1.60 at case pricing with a median of 43. So the cost is in the quantity rather than in the piece.

Which makes the wrong container an expensive mistake

A case of 288 bottles at 56 cents is not a large sum and it is 288 bottles that suit one of the six leaves.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. This group's shelf is 80 containers, all of them glass, with a largest capacity of 120 mL and nothing above it; 63 of the 80 are glass boston rounds. Among the 198 closures indexed to the group there is no pump, sprayer, mist sprayer or foamer: 102 are continuous thread polypropylene lids and 43 are dropper assemblies. Catalog-wide on the same day there are 358 plastic containers between 200 and 600 mL and 121 pump, sprayer, mist or foamer closures, none of which is routed to this group. The cause is that this spoke resolves to the pc-essential-oil archetype, the same one the aromatherapy group uses.

Written from 40 CFR 156.140 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 156 is pesticide labeling and reaches a pet grooming product only if that product is a pesticide, which turns on the claims made for it; nothing here rules on any product. Our catalog publishes no field recording whether a container is refillable or nonrefillable, which is the attribute that section turns on. This group's shelf is 80 glass containers with nothing over 120 mL and no pump, sprayer or foamer, while the catalog holds 358 plastic containers between 200 and 600 mL and 121 pump, sprayer and foamer closures that are not routed here.
