The tiny end, and the vials we do not stock

Updated

On this page7
Below 60 mL we have 39 jars and no vials.

What the shelf holds

39 containers from 14.787 to 59.147 mL with 140 closures verified against them. By material, 21 polypropylene, 12 PET and 6 glass. Necks are 53-400 at 13, 58-400 at 12, 48-400 at 11 and 70-400 at 3. Case packs run 72 to 910 with a median of 500, and 10 of the 39 are quote only.

And what it does not hold

Vials. The right container for 500 jump rings is arguably a small clear vial with a snap or screw top, and we do not stock one in this range. Every item here is a jar. That is a real gap and it is better stated than worked around with a description of stock we do not have.

What to do with jars at this size

A 15 to 60 mL jar with a 48-400 or 53-400 finish is a serviceable findings pack. The mouth is wide relative to the body, which is the opposite of a vial and genuinely better for getting parts out with tweezers. The tradeoff is that a short wide jar wastes shelf and ships air.

The dome lid matters more here

Of the 140 closures at this end, 100 are continuous thread polypropylene, 25 metal or aluminum CT, 14 dome lids and 1 overshell. The dome lids are worth a look for jump rings and split rings specifically, because the thread fouling problem gets worse as the part gets smaller.

Case pack is the binding constraint

A median case of 500 at the tiny end, against 280 across the main shelf. Small containers come in bigger cases, which is the usual economics of injection molding and the reason the smallest pack size is often the largest commitment.

If you need a vial

Say so when you ask us for a quote. We can source outside the published shelf, and knowing that the demand exists is how a gap like this gets closed rather than documented twice.
