The classic-shape glass jar is a favourite packaging option of cosmetics makers, small bakeries, honey producers, and candle makers. The clear glass allows the contents to be seen directly, while the bright silver aluminium screw lid provides an elegant, retail-ready appearance. This pack of 12 offers a series-worth of jars for small business owners and home hobby makers.
What is included in the 12-piece pack
12 clear glass jars of 170 ml nominal capacity, each with a silver-coloured aluminium screw lid. Typical height is 7.5 cm, with an 8 cm diameter, giving the jar a stable upright stance on the shelf. The net weight of a single jar + lid is 222 g, and the total package gross weight is 1.908 kg. The 170 ml size sits in the middle range: large enough for a week or two of homemade cream, small enough that the fresh-state finished product does not turn rancid during storage.
Clear glass and classic appearance
Clear (colourless) glass provides a minimalist, classic look — particularly useful when the contents themselves (the colour of honey, the texture of a cream, the poured layer of a candle) are part of the visual experience. If you wish to protect the contents from light, dark storage or a secondary box/carton is advised. Glass is chemically inert: it does not react with fats, acids, or preparations containing essential oils. It can be refilled and recycled freely.
Silver aluminium screw lid
The screw lid is finished in silver (aluminium) with an internal sealing gasket. The tight screw thread provides a state close to airtight, preserving cream, honey, and spice contents well. Aluminium does not rust and imparts no off-flavour or odour. The screw lid is easy to clean with warm water; thanks to the clear glass, the content level is visible without removing the lid.
Typical areas of use
- Storing homemade cream, balm, and body butter
- Packaging honey, homemade jam, or reductions
- Decorative presentation of custom spice mixes, salt, or sugar
- Pouring candle wax or aromatherapy scented wax
- Small cosmetic sample storage and experimental formulations
Cleaning and reuse
Before first use, wash the jar and lid with warm water and detergent, then rinse thoroughly. For sterilisation, you may use water heated to 90 °C (but NOT dry heat) — glass tolerates this well. The aluminium portion of the lid should not be put in the dishwasher long-term (it may discolour). The working life of refilled jars is practically unlimited if cleaning is thorough between cycles.
