From custom HDPE plastic jars to PET and PP plastic jar containers, we engineer durable, lightweight plastic jar packaging around your product, brand, and budget.
Why Choose Plastic Jars?
Plastic jars offer numerous advantages that make them an ideal choice for a wide range of products:
Lightweight
Plastic jars are lightweight, so they're easy to handle and transport.
Durability
Plastic jars are resistant to breakage and can withstand rough handling.
Versatility
Plastic jars are ideal for storing and preserving a variety of products, including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Cost-Effective
Plastic jars are generally more cost-effective than glass or metal jars, making them a practical choice for many applications.
Which Material and Style of Plastic Jar Is Optimal for Your Product?
The right plastic jar comes down to three factors: resin compatibility with your formulation, regulatory requirements, and how the product is filled, shipped, and used. We’ve provided a quick guide to matching plastic jar packaging to your product category.
Food Products
PET is the ideal choice for clear plastic jar containers holding nuts, candy, honey, and spices. PP handles hot-fill foods and sauces up to roughly 200°F. HDPE works well for opaque products like protein and meal-replacement powders. Wide-mouth round jars from 8 oz to 64 oz are the most common style.
Cosmetic Products
Double-wall PP or acrylic cosmetic plastic jars deliver the premium, weighted feel that luxury skincare brands want. PET single-wall jars work well for body butters, scrubs, and bath products. For products containing essential oils, vitamin C, or retinol, PP or HDPE packaging is often the better choice, since some active ingredients can break down PET over time.
Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Products
PET is the dominant resin for supplement jars holding vitamins, gummies, and capsules, thanks to its clarity and oxygen barrier performance. HDPE pharmaceutical jars are preferred for moisture-sensitive or light-sensitive medications. Both should meet USP standards and pair with child-resistant or tamper-evident closures for compliance with the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
