Application brief
wholesale plastic jars
Translate fill, line or shipping use into purchase requirements for wholesale plastic jars. A wide-mouth food jar and a double-wall cosmetic jar are different objects. Those two quotes should not share one resin column.
Food and condiment jars
Write the heaviest intended fill, whether the pack is hot-filled or ambient, and whether an induction liner is required. A 250 ml jar sized for dry spice does not automatically hold when the fill becomes a viscous sauce. Migration testing belongs on this brief only if the resin contacts the food. A factory that answers “food grade” without naming the resin lot and the batch file has not answered the line.
Destination still matters: a US parcel carton and a store-replenishment shipper have different crush notes. Ask each factory to list inland freight separately from the piece price. Edge crush test on the outer carton is a shipper row, not a jar property.
Personal-care and cosmetic jars
Name double-wall or single-wall, disc-top or continuous-thread, and whether a shrink sleeve or silk screen is required. Oxygen transmission rate and water vapor transmission rate belong to film packs or named liners; do not copy barrier numbers from a pouch RFQ onto an open jar. Post-consumer recycled content, if requested, must name the resin lot on the mill or converter sheet.
Quantity is pieces per artwork, not an annual forecast. A 10,000-piece first run and a 2,000-piece reprint are two rows if plates or sleeves already exist.
Nutraceutical and vitamin jars
Record sifter or induction-liner fit, child-resistant notes if any, and reprint tolerance on the label. If a contract packer fills the jar on a line, record neck finish, torque window and whether a worker or a capper must close it. A die line that only exists as a retail photo cannot be nested. We do not invent a GMP or serialization certificate for this site.
If stacking on a pallet is required, say so. A plastic jar is still a rigid object; a corrugated shipper is a separate family and a separate quote.
When a jar brief should become a glass brief
If the fill needs inert contact, premium shelf weight or a returnable path, the object may no longer be a plastic jar. Glass versus plastic is a weight, breakage and recycling-route trade-off. Mixing a PET jar with a flint glass jar in one cell hides the extra freight and breakage cost. We will split the request rather than average the two constructions.
Selection checklist before the RFQ leaves your desk
Tick only the fields you already have. Empty boxes stay visible so factories are not asked to guess.
Trade-off we keep visible
Digital print vs flexo still applies on jar decoration: digital can carry a unique SKU without a plate, while conventional flexographic printing usually holds a large solid cheaper once the plate is paid. The desk lists both routes and keeps the buyer’s named process on the RFQ. Mono-material recyclability vs barrier performance is mainly a film dispute; on rigid jars the parallel question is PCR resin versus virgin PET or PP clarity, and that choice must stay named rather than hidden in an “eco jar” label.
Name, work email and the procurement requirement are required. Optional budget and supplier preference merge at submit time. No existing quotation is required.
