The statute names the container. We supply it blank.

What we publish

Material, capacity, neck finish, dimensions, colour, case pack and a temperature range. Seven attributes of a container.

What we do not

Any marking, printing, labelling, etching, decorating or coding service. None of it, on any shelf in this catalog.

Which is the honest limit on this spine

The statute authorizes the container as the place the mark may go, and the mark goes on by a process we do not provide.

The same gap appears twice more in this library

The home preserving property finds a code required permanently visible to the naked eye on glass, and the compounding property finds no lot number anywhere in our data.

Three properties, one absence

We identify a product by a dc sku and a case pack. Putting anything on a container is somebody else's step.

Which makes the material the decision we can inform

117 PET, 78 polypropylene and 56 glass, and the marking process follows from which one you buy.

And the colour

91 clear, 47 white, 32 amber, 26 black, 24 natural out of 251. A white container is a better label substrate than a clear one.

Because contrast is part of legibility

A label on a clear jar shows the contents behind it, which reduces contrast on any printing that is not fully opaque.

So two of our fields bear on the marking standard

Material and colour. Which is more than most spines in this library can say about our data.

Buyability is the ordinary picture

159 of 251 available, 93 quote only, 65 full case only, with case packs from 12 to 6,370 and a median of 288.

A case pack of 12 is the useful end

For a bench stocking twenty different parts in twenty jars, 12 is buyable and 6,370 is not.

And 93 of 251 quote only is the friction

More than a third of the shelf with no published price, measured as a snapshot on one day.

Ask about marking separately

Because the container is the authorized surface and we sell it blank.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. The 251 containers on this shelf are 117 PET, 78 polypropylene and 56 glass. There is no metal and no polyethylene. Glass takes an etched or fired mark and loses an adhesive label to oil; PET and polypropylene take an adhesive label well and take an etch not at all. We publish no marking, printing or decorating service of any kind.

19 U.S.C. 1304(a). Every article of foreign origin "(or its container, as provided in subsection (b)" must be marked "as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article (or container) will permit", and the marking must "indicate to an ultimate purchaser in the United States the English name of the country of origin of the article." Among the exceptions in subsection (a)(3), clause (A) permits the Secretary of the Treasury to "Authorize the exception of any article from the requirements of marking if such article is incapable of being marked." This is customs marking for articles of foreign origin; nothing on these pages determines the origin of anything or how the exceptions are administered. law.cornell.edu

Written from 19 U.S.C. 1304 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section is customs marking for articles of foreign origin and nothing here determines the origin of anything, what subsection (b) requires of containers, or how the exceptions are administered. Made in USA claims are a different scheme covered in the favors and gifts property. We publish no marking, printing or decorating service: the mark goes on by some process we do not supply. This shelf is shared identically by nine groups and the sewing notions property enumerates the inventory.
