14.8 or 29.6 mL, 1.33 to 1.59 inches tall.
The measure
Height of 3 inches or less and diameter of 1.8 inches or less. A threshold this property chose, which has its own page.
The result
15 of the 94 containers qualify, out of the 89 for which both dimensions are published.
Every one is a single wall jar in PET or polypropylene at either 14.8 or 29.6 mL, between 1.33 and 1.59 inches tall.
The smallest is 1.33 by 1.37 inches
A 14.8 mL clear PET single wall jar. Which is about the size of a lip balm pot and genuinely pocketable.
The narrowest is 1.12 inches across
A 14.8 mL polypropylene single wall jar in natural, at 1.53 inches tall. Narrow enough for a watch pocket.
Color is available across the set
Among the 15 there are clear, white, natural, green, amber, blue and black examples. So the pocket size does not force a color choice.
Which matters because amber is the useful one here
A carried container sees daylight, and 25 amber plus 3 dark amber on the wider shelf is a strong position.
All 15 are single wall jars, which open to their full diameter. Picking a tablet out of a jar one-handed is easier than tipping a bottle.
And the rest of the shelf is nothing like this
Median 3.95 inches tall and 1.99 across, maximum 5.43 by 4.5. 61 of 94 are packer bottles.
So the pocket corner is 16 percent of the shelf
15 of 94, which is a real offering rather than an accident, and it is concentrated in two sizes.
Only 13 containers are under 50 mL
Which is nearly the same set. The small end of this shelf is small in both volume and dimension together.
None of them will carry a dispensed label
Which is the point of the first section. A 1.33 inch jar has a fraction of the label area a 150 mL dispensed bottle had.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Height is published on 93 of the 94 containers in this group and diameter on 89. Height runs 1.33 to 5.43 inches with a median of 3.95; diameter runs 1.12 to 4.5 inches with a median of 1.99. Taking a pocket as 3 inches or less in height and 1.8 inches or less in diameter -- a threshold this property chose rather than a standard -- 15 of the 94 containers qualify, and all 15 are single wall jars in PET or polypropylene at 14.8 or 29.6 mL and 1.33 to 1.59 inches tall. Only 13 of the 94 containers are under 50 mL.

21 U.S.C. 353(b)(2). A drug dispensed by filling or refilling a written or oral prescription is exempt from the requirements of section 352 of the title, subject to stated exceptions, if the drug bears a label containing "the name and address of the dispenser, the serial number and date of the prescription or of its filling, the name of the prescriber, and, if stated in the prescription, the name of the patient, and the directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in such prescription." The paragraph also excludes drugs dispensed through mail-order diagnosis and drugs dispensed in violation of the prescription requirements; those exclusions are described rather than quoted here, and the full set of exceptions is in the statute. Nothing on these pages says whether decanting a dispensed prescription is permitted.
