The shelf, measured
Two hundred and fifty-three containers from 15 to 250 mL with 345 closures. By material 157 PET, 59 PP and 37 glass. The dominant necks are 38-400 at 57, 70-400 at 52, 58-400 at 36 and 89-400 at 27.
The forms
107 single wall jars, 70 packers, 31 double wall jars, 18 straight sided jars, and 4 each of honey bottles, mason and paragon, specialty jars and hex jars. Jars throughout, which is right for a scooped product.
Why the mouth matters most
Every leaf here is scooped rather than dispensed, so a hand has to reach the bottom. The wider finishes are the ones to prefer, and 79 of the 253 containers are on 70-400 or 89-400.
Material against the product
PET is clear, light and cheap and fine for an aqueous lotion. PP tolerates a warmer fill and a heavier oil load. Glass is the best barrier and the right answer for a heavily essential-oil-loaded butter.
Fill temperature is the field to read
Because the archetype says fill warm. The published maximum fill temperature on each container page sorts this shelf quickly, and PET is the material to check rather than assume.
Color
76 clear, 49 white, 43 amber, 26 black, 20 blue, 16 natural and 14 green. Clear shows the texture, which sells a whipped butter, and amber and black protect a light-sensitive oil or active.
The closures, by liner
103 carry an HIS induction-seal liner, 50 F217, 45 pressure-sensitive, 33 none and 32 a standard plastisol. 103 induction-seal options is the widest on any shelf in this library, which suits a product sold on freshness.
