Sizes, and the label space problem

The range
Fifty to 296 mL across 158 containers. That is a decorating and specialty range: sprinkles, a colorant, a jar of cocoa, a specialty sugar. It is not where bulk dry goods belong.
The label does not scale down
The ingredient list, the certified color names, any preservative plus its function, and the allergen statement in type no smaller than the ingredient list. On a 50 mL jar that is a genuine layout constraint.
Which argues for simple formulations
Every additional bought blend adds names to the list and another allergen question. A shorter ingredient list is easier to label on a small jar and easier to keep true, which is a real design input.
Wide mouths cost panel width
A 89-400 jar at this capacity is squat, so the usable label height is small. A narrower, taller jar of the same volume gives more panel, and that trade is worth making deliberately.
Sets and ranges change the arithmetic
Decorating products sell in collections, so one jar and one closure across a range buys volume on both and lets one label template carry every variant. With 54 containers on 70-400, there is an obvious place to standardize.
Sample sizes are common here
Buyers want to try a color or a sprinkle before committing, and the bottom of this range suits that. The declarations still apply, which is why the template matters more than the individual label.
Cost the jar, not the gram
Filling, labeling and the compliance work per line are close to flat per unit, so a 50 mL jar carries far more of each per gram sold. Decide what each format has to earn rather than reading one figure across.
