As a wholesaler, brand product builder and distributor, we aim to supply beautiful and practical cosmetic jars that fit perfectly into the current health and beauty industry. Cosmetic jars have many options to choose from, including size, design, material, inner shive, seal and lids. Moreover, all these considerations are essential because they help define the brand name and the product contents.
Cosmetic jars are perfect for creams, serums, gels, powders and concentrated liquids. Furthermore, a jar protects its contents from:
Jars also give the contents a longer shelf life, make the product easier to handle, and allow the liquid contents to be portable.
Jars tend to be made in a few different materials, allowing the brand or product owner to target different market segments.
PP, SAN & PET Jars – can be used for a wide range of face, body, hair and nail solutions. PET is the most popular material as it’s 100% recyclable and fits into the circular economy. Plastic is the cheapest to transport because it’s light in weight and durable. PP, SAN & PET Jars can be coloured matched and are the most cost-efficient solution for cosmetic products.
AS, ABS, PETG, and PCTG Jars – are super rigid, slightly heavier and can look like glass. Heavy rigid cosmetic jars are perfect for expensive or luxurious cosmetic products. These types of jars can be used for face or body pampering.
GLASS Jars – convey high quality, hold their shape, are aesthetically pleasing on a shelf, are fully recyclable and the weight of the glass projects the feeling for a high-quality product.
ACRYLIC AIRLESS Jars – airless cosmetic acrylic jars are also designed for lotions, creams and serums. These heavy, rigid, luxurious jars work with high-end serums, gels and creams. Each jar can be colour matched and look beautiful with hot foil blocking. As the packaging economy changes airless jars would suit refill options.
ACRYLIC Jars – are the most expensive cosmetic jars you can purchase. The design of each jar is complex and normally has a matching dispensing bottle. High-end cosmetic brands tend to use these acrylic options for costly matching product ranges.
Berlin Packaging UK offers all the above cosmetic jar materials to meet the needs of different brands and their targeted customers.
Cosmetic jars come in a range of different sizes. Jar size variations allow brands to extend their product offering. You may see the same product available in 30ml, 100ml and 250ml. This helps with price points, customer convenience and affordability.
Our most popular sizes include:
Capacity Size 5ml Extra Small 15ml Extra Small 30ml Small 50ml Small 60ml Small 120ml Medium 200ml Medium 250ml Large 500ml X-LargeWe offer ‘stock’ and ‘non-stock cosmetic jars, so colour matching is only available for non-stock items. Selecting a strong colour that matches a brand’s voice and direction can take time to get right. However, the final product can look fantastic once you have tested colours to work with labels and logo ideas.
Glass cosmetic jars come in transparent or amber colours. Glass jars are also suitable for many different types of products including, pharmaceuticals, homoeopathic remedies and topical creams. Glass cosmetic jars come with a range of lids, giving cosmetic products a stunning finish.
Many jars can come with a shive insert. Shives are great for keeping the contents fresh, clean and free from unwanted foreign objects. All shives are like a secondary inner cap and can be easily removed with the conveniently placed tab.
Decorative labelling can be applied to cosmetic jars with pressure-sensitive, roll-fed, orientated labelling in all sizes. Equipment is engineered to ensure a high degree of accuracy and repeatability of label placement, including spot labels, base labels on jars, and wraparound labels on bottles and tubes.
Many different labelling requirements are also compulsory to be compliant with the EU Cosmetic Safety Regulations EC 1223/2009, article 19.
