A wide shelf with an unusual split: the largest material group is the one least suited to the job.

The shelf, measured

Two hundred and twenty-four containers from 22 to 500 ml, with 257 closures. By material, 112 PET, 70 PP and 42 glass. The dominant necks are 89-400 and 70-400 at 56 each, then 58-400 at 36 and 53-400 at 16.

What the forms are

Mostly single-wall jars: 101 PET and 26 PP, with 20 glass straight-sided jars, 31 double-wall jars, 12 PP round tubs, 10 mason and paragon jars and 7 glass hex jars. Wide mouths throughout, which is what the extraction needs.

Read the temperature before anything else

PET 120 F, PP 240 F, glass 300 F. That one field reduces a 224-container shelf to the 112 that can take a normal wax pour, and it is published on every container page.

Color

82 clear, 44 white, 25 amber, 24 black, 23 natural, with smaller counts of blue, green and frosted. Clear sells the wax, which in this category is most of the merchandising, so the clear PET jars are tempting for exactly the wrong reason.

What is not here

No thermoformed clamshell, which is the trade default for a melt: zero products in this catalog match clamshell, blister or thermoform. If a clamshell is your format, this is not the shelf for it and we would rather say so.

And one thing just off the shelf

There are 29 tins in the catalog, 24 of them round steel from 7 to 355 ml. The archetype does not place them here, but metal takes a hot pour without any of the PET argument, so they are worth a look.

A big shelf that a single field makes small

Two hundred and twenty-four containers is a lot of choice until the temperature rating halves it, and then the taper question halves it again. What is left is a manageable short list, and getting there is a two-minute filter rather than an afternoon.
