146, 29 and 33. Complete on every container.

The distribution

146 containers at -40 to 120 F, 29 at -100 to 190 F, and 33 at -100 to 300 F. Published on all 208, with no blanks.

Which is complete coverage

Better than material, neck or liner manage on any shelf measured in this library, and the second shelf here where the field is complete.

The 120 F group is the majority

146 of 208, which is 70 percent. And it maps onto the material: 123 of the 208 containers are PET single wall jars.

So the rating and the resin agree

Which is a useful cross-check. A product page where they disagree is a reason to ask rather than to pick.

120 F is a warm day

Which is the thing to sit with. A container at its thermal limit inside a closed vehicle in summer is not an exotic scenario.

The 190 F group is 29 containers

Deeply cold tolerant at -100 F and capped at 190, which is above any of the three flashpoint bands and well short of a flame.

And the 300 F group is 33

The highest ceiling on this shelf, and the only group with real thermal headroom.

Which is a better position than the meal prep shelf

There only 2 of 176 reached 300 F. Here 33 of 208 do, which is 16 percent rather than 1.

And the glass is a separate 30 containers

18 glass straight sided jars, 7 mason and paragon jars and 5 boston rounds. Glass and a high rating are not the same set.

None of it is a flame claim

A rating is what the container tolerates and says nothing about suitability, duration or a local gradient at a wick.

The cold end is generous throughout

-40 F on the largest group and -100 F on the other two. For a cache in an unheated space that is the half of the range that matters.

Which suits a preparedness use

A container stored in a garage or a shed through a winter is a cold problem, and every rating here handles it.

So read the ceiling and ignore the floor

Because the floor is comfortable on all 208 and the ceiling separates them into three very different groups.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. A temperature range is published on all 208 containers in this group and takes three values: -40 to 120 F on 146 containers, -100 to 300 F on 33, and -100 to 190 F on 29. A container temperature rating describes what the container tolerates. It is not a flashpoint, it is not a flammability statement, and it has no bearing on whether contents will ignite.

Written from 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Those definitions describe a substance and say nothing about a container: a flashpoint is the temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite and a container temperature rating is what the container tolerates, so a container can be inside its rating while its contents are above their flashpoint. Nothing here says whether any product is a hazardous substance, what labeling it requires, or whether any container is suitable for a candle, a fuel or a flame. The test method cited in the definitions is not described.
