A sorted set wants a dozen jars

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
Six rows of 251 come in a case of 24 or fewer. All six are glass and all six are full case only.

Hardware sorts by a number, and the number has several values

Shelf pins come at five, six and seven millimeters. Picture hangers come in several weight ratings. Furniture glides sort by diameter. Each of those is a separate jar if the set is to be useful.

So the natural order for this group is several identical containers

Somewhere between six and a dozen, depending on how many values the bench actually keeps. One large jar of mixed pins is the thing a sorted set exists to replace.

Which is an awkward quantity against this shelf

The median container case on this shelf is 288. Six rows of 251 come in a case of 24 or fewer, and four of those six are a case of exactly twelve.

The four twelve-packs are all glass and all clear

A 16 oz clear glass mason and paragon jar, a 4 oz clear glass hex jar, an 8 oz clear glass mason and paragon jar and a 9 oz clear glass hex jar. From 118 to 473 mL.

The other two small cases are also glass

A 16 oz amber glass straight sided jar in a case of 20 and a 1.5 oz clear glass hex jar in a case of 24. So every small case on this shelf is glass without exception.

And every one of the six is full case only

Which is not the restriction it sounds like here. A case of twelve is already the quantity a sorted hardware set wants, so being unable to break the case costs nothing.

The prices are at the top of the shelf and that is the trade

Those six run 90 to 369 cents at single prices and 73 to 265 at case prices, against a shelf-wide container median of 90.5 and 66. Glass is dearer and the small case does not discount as a large one does.

The next smallest case on the shelf is sixty

Which is a sharp step. Between twenty four and sixty there is nothing at all, so a buyer wanting twenty identical jars is choosing between a case of twelve, two of them, or a case of sixty.

For a workshop that is usually a straightforward decision

A dozen glass jars of a common size is a sensible bench set, and the four rows at a case of twelve are exactly that. The plastic side of the shelf is for the buyer who wants two hundred and eighty eight.

And the sorting information has to go on the container

A shelf pin does not carry its diameter and a picture hanger does not carry its rating. Whatever the packet said is lost when the packet goes, so the jar becomes the only record of which value is inside it.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Only six of the 251 containers on this shelf come in a case of 24 or fewer, and all six are glass and all six are full case only: a 16 oz clear glass mason and paragon jar, a 4 oz clear glass hex jar, an 8 oz clear glass mason and paragon jar and a 9 oz clear glass hex jar, each in a case of 12; a 16 oz amber glass straight sided jar in a case of 20; and a 1.5 oz clear glass hex jar in a case of 24. Their single-unit prices run 90 to 369 cents and their case-unit prices 73 to 265. The next smallest case on the shelf is 60. The sewing notions property enumerates the full case pack distribution.
The six leaves in this group as the catalog indexes them: cam lock, drawer slide part, furniture glide, hinge part, picture hanger and shelf pin. All six are components of an assembly. 40 CFR part 770 sets formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products and does not reach any of them.
Written from 40 CFR part 770 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 770 sets formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products under TSCA Title VI; it does not govern cam locks, glides, hinges, hangers or shelf pins, and nothing here says it does. No container on this shelf is described as low emitting or certified under anything. Prices are a snapshot of one day, and a closure counted as matching a container shares its nominal neck finish in the catalog, which is a record and not a test. This shelf is shared identically by nine groups and the sewing notions property enumerates the inventory.
