Clear Plastic Container with Lid, 240 ml

240 ml plastic jar with lid is a set designed for packaging creamy, paste-like and powdered products. The clear polypropylene lets you see the contents, so both the customer and the producer immediately recognize the colour and consistency of the filling. The set is suitable for contact with cosmetics and at the same time approved for direct contact with food. It is therefore suitable for body butters, sugar and salt scrubs, masks or bath salts, as well as for homemade nut butters, honey or dry mixes.

The jar with a volume of 240 ml is one of the larger formats, where the product is taken out with fingers or a spoon rather than dispensed. The low and wide shape makes it easier to fill thick masses and to remove them completely without residue at the bottom.

What makes the set practical

• Transparent contents – the clear material shows the colour, texture and any unevenness of the filling, which is useful for scrubs with visible particles or for layered products.
• Lightweight and unbreakable – polypropylene withstands drops and transport, so it is suitable for shipments and for products used in the bathroom or shower.
• One solution for cosmetics and food – both components of the set have declared suitability for contact with cosmetics and for direct contact with food, so you do not have to deal with different packaging for different types of products.
• Wide neck – filling with a spoon, spatula or a piping bag is fast and the mass can be spread across the entire diameter without bubbles.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical space up to the upper edge of the jar. The difference between them forms a reserve for the lid and for the behaviour of the contents, which expand when the temperature changes or „settle“ with whipped textures. You will find the specific values in the product parameters.

Suitable for products such as

• Body butters and whipped butters – the larger volume and wide access match the way these products are scooped out.
• Sugar and salt scrubs – the transparent jar shows the graininess and colour, and the durable plastic is no obstacle even when used in the shower.
• Clay and powder masks, bath salts, effervescent mixes – dry and powdered products for which protection from moisture is more important than from light.
• Food use – nut butters, honey, homemade dry mixes, spices, dried herbs or confectionery; the set is approved for direct contact with food as a whole.

What is good to know

Clear plastic does not protect against light. Products with vegetable oils, essential oils or sensitive active ingredients change faster in transparent packaging when exposed to light. For such formulations we recommend storage in the dark or choosing opaque packaging.

The lid is a push-on type, not threaded. For paste-like and powdered products this is a convenient opening. However, with liquid and runny contents, check the tightness during transport or when laid on its side with the specific formulation. The same lid fits all jars in this series with the same neck diameter, so it can be purchased separately.

Filling temperature. Polypropylene withstands higher temperatures, but we recommend letting the hot mass cool down slightly before pouring. With melted butters and balms, this also reduces the risk of a grainy texture after setting.

Essential oils and solvents. Polypropylene is resistant to most cosmetic raw materials. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, menthol or alcohol, check the behaviour of the material in the finished product, especially if the contents are meant to stand for a longer time.

Label and reuse. The dimensions suitable for a label are in the product parameters. Both the jar and the lid can be reused after washing and disinfection.
