Amber Plastic Jar, Black Lid 200 ml

The plastic jar with a black lid, 200 ml, is a ready-made combination of container and closure designed for creams, body butters, scrubs, masks and other thicker preparations applied with fingers or a spatula. The brown PET jar is lightweight, shatter-resistant and reduces light exposure to the contents, which is appreciated for products with vegetable oils, extracts or essential oils. The black screw-on lid closes the jar. Together they form a set suitable for home production as well as packaging smaller batches for sale.

The set is approved for direct food contact, so it can also be used for homemade spreads, honey, spice blends, dried herbs or bath salts. The set also declares suitability for contact with cosmetics. The declaration of conformity and certificate are listed with the product.

What the set is suitable for

• Creams and body butters – the wide neck allows comfortable scooping even with firmer textures that would be difficult to dispense from a pump bottle.
• Scrubs and masks – sugar or salt scrubs, clay masks and pastes are easy to fill into the jar and equally easy to take out.
• Balms and cream deodorants – anhydrous preparations with waxes and butters can be poured directly into the jar and left to set.
• Foods and herbs – dried blends, honey or bath salts prepared at home.

The 200 ml volume is suitable where the product is used regularly and a larger package makes sense: body butters, scrubs, body masks or bath salts. For facial creams that are dispensed in small amounts and should be used up quickly, it is more sensible to opt for a smaller jar.

How the set works

The jar has a 70/400 thread and the lid fits it directly. The lid is made of polypropylene and contains a foam polyethylene insert that, when tightened, seats against the rim of the neck and improves the seal. For creams and anhydrous preparations, standard hand-tightening is sufficient. For thin or liquid contents, we recommend verifying the seal, as a wide-neck jar is not intended for transporting liquids in a horizontal position.

The brown tint of PET reduces light exposure, but it is not a complete barrier like an opaque container. For light-sensitive preparations it is a meaningful protection, but the finished product should not be left in direct sunlight regardless.

Nominal and total volume

Two figures are distinguished for packaging. The nominal volume is the volume for which the container is intended for standard filling, and this is the figure stated on the product label. The total volume to the rim is the physical volume of the jar up to the neck. The difference between them provides a reserve for the closure and for expansion of the contents during temperature fluctuations. Specific values are listed in the product parameters.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – we recommend washing both the jar and the lid, disinfecting with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allowing to dry completely. Residual moisture in an anhydrous balm or butter is not desirable.
• Essential oils and solvents – PET is resistant to common cosmetic raw materials. With a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, however, we recommend verifying compatibility on a single unit before filling an entire batch.
• Reuse – the jar can be used again after thorough washing and disinfection. Before reuse, check the insert in the lid to ensure it is not damaged or saturated.
• Labelling – the smooth cylindrical wall of the jar is suitable for a wrap-around label, the lid for a round label on top.
• Recycling – the jar is made of PET and the lid of polypropylene. Separate them before disposal and place in plastics recycling.

If you want to use a different type of closure, select it according to the neck type stated in the parameters. Further closures and ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal and the behaviour of the container with your specific formulation.
