What we stock for findings

The shelf
By material, 112 PET, 70 polypropylene and 42 glass. By category, 201 jars, 12 tubs and pails and 11 bottles. The floor is 22.18 mL and the ceiling is 500 mL, which is the working range for a counted findings pack.
The neck split is wide
89-400 at 56 and 70-400 at 56 lead, then 58-400 at 36, 53-400 at 16, 48-400 at 8 and 63TW at 7. Two dominant finishes carrying half the shelf between them is good news for anyone standardizing: one cap inventory covers a lot of sizes.
87 of the 224 are quote only
That is 39 percent, and it is higher than most groups on this site. A quote only item has no published case price because we do not have a verifiable one, not because it is unavailable. The 137 with published pricing are the ones to plan a first run around.
Case packs run from 12 to 6,370
The median is 280. That spread is the number to check first if you are a small brand, because a 6,370 case of jars is a decision and a 12 case is a sample. Both are on the shelf and the listing says which is which.
The closures
171 continuous thread polypropylene lids, 39 metal or aluminum CT caps, 21 polypropylene dome lids, 17 metal lug or twist caps, 6 PE tub lids, 2 overshell lids and 1 plug seal. For dry findings the liner question is about particle retention and reseal, not about a barrier.
Why clear dominates
A findings pack is bought by someone who wants to see the part. Clarity is doing the work a label cannot, and it is the reason PET leads the material count here rather than polypropylene.
This shelf is shared
The same archetype serves wax melts and bath products, so the jars themselves are not specific to jewelry. What is specific is the case pack range and the quote only share, and those are the two things to check before committing.
