Amber Plastic Pill Jar with Black Lid, 100 ml

The plastic tablet jar with a black lid is a complete packaging and closure set for solid and powdered contents: tablets, capsules, powders, salts or dried herbs. The brown colour of the jar limits light exposure to the contents, which is appreciated with light-sensitive ingredients, and the wide neck makes filling and dispensing individual units easy. The set is approved for direct food contact and for use with cosmetic products, making it equally suitable for home cosmetic production and for packaging dietary supplements or kitchen blends.

What the set is suitable for

• Tablets and capsules – hand-pressed fizzing bath tablets, solid facial cleansing tablets, capsules with herbal powders or standard dietary supplements.
• Powdered cosmetic ingredients – clay and powder masks, enzyme powders, dry shampoos, bath salts or sugar and salt scrubs in dry form, including powdered herbal extracts that change colour in light.
• Food use – herbal and tea blends, spices, dried fruit, homemade sweets or lozenges. Thanks to the food-contact certificate, there is no need to find a separate container for the kitchen.
• Samples and travel packaging – the 100 ml volume is suitable for smaller portions that will be used up within a few weeks, or as sample packaging for customers.

How the jar and lid work together

The jar is made of PET, a lightweight plastic that handles regular use well. The lid is made of polypropylene and has a foam polyethylene insert on the inner side that presses against the neck when tightened and improves the seal against moisture and spillage. The closure screws onto the neck thread, making opening and closing quick and the jar suitable for repeated use. The lid is not designed as a child-resistant closure or a hermetic seal for sensitive substances. For moisture-sensitive contents we therefore recommend adding a desiccant sachet or testing how the contents behave over several weeks.

Nominal volume and filling

For packaging, a distinction is made between the nominal volume, i.e. the volume for which the packaging is designed under normal filling conditions, and the total volume to the brim, which is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is typically a reserve for the closure and for content expansion. For a tablet jar, this reserve is not as important as for bottles with droppers or pumps, because the lid does not extend into the interior. Even so, it is worth leaving a small free space below the neck so that tablets are not crushed when closing and powder does not remain on the thread, where it would interfere with the seal. Both volume values can be found in the product parameters.

Good to know

Before first filling, wash and sanitise both the jar and the lid with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Residual moisture is the main cause of caking with powdered contents. The jar is intended primarily for dry contents. It can physically hold liquid and oil-based preparations, but the wide neck and flat lid are not designed for repeated pouring. With pure essential oils or solvents, the plastic may soften or become cloudy over time.

The brown colour reduces the amount of light that reaches the contents, but it is not complete protection. Do not store the jar in direct sunlight. Labels adhere well to the cylindrical surface. Once emptied, both the jar and lid can be rinsed and reused. For recycling, the PET jar and PP lid both belong with plastics; however, it is advisable to separate them.
