The shelf, measured
One hundred and ninety-one containers from 100 to 4,731 mL, with 236 closures. By material, 149 HDPE and 42 glass, and nothing else. The dominant necks are 38-400 at 46 and 24-410 at 43, then 28-400 at 21 and 28-410 at 16.
The forms
38 packers, 36 Boston rounds, 34 cylinder rounds, 14 cosmo and bullet bottles, 12 F-style jugs, 10 specialty bottles, 8 round tubs and 7 spray and trigger bottles. That spread covers an ink bottle, a medium bottle and a bulk jug from one shelf.
Why only HDPE and glass
The group’s own constraint note says chemical resistance is the entire decision, and these two cover the widest range of binders and solvents between them. Nothing here is PET, which is the right exclusion for solvent-borne products.
Glass is the answer for aggressive solvents
42 containers, and they are where alcohol inks and solvent thinners belong. They are heavier and they break, which are real costs, and they remove permeation from the argument.
Color
83 white, 51 natural, 16 black, 16 clear and 14 amber. Natural lets a user see the level and the color, black and amber reduce light reaching a fugitive pigment, and white gives the best label surface.
The closures
159 continuous thread, 27 spouted, 19 flip top, 7 phenolic and 7 buttress, with 80 carrying an HIS induction-seal liner and 37 pressure-sensitive. Phenolic caps are the traditional choice for solvents and they are present in small numbers.
Where to settle the thread match
Every container page lists the closures verified against its own neck, so the fit is done. What is left for you is the liner against your specific binder, which is the question this whole shelf turns on.
