SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) is a premium copolymer plastic that combines the clarity of styrene with the chemical resistance and toughness of acrylonitrile. This unique material composition creates packaging that rivals glass in transparency while delivering the practical benefits of plastic.
Clear SAN delivers glass-like transparency that showcases product quality, colour, and texture. Crystal-clear visibility builds consumer confidence and creates powerful shelf appeal in competitive retail environments.
The rigid, substantial feel of SAN jars communicates premium quality immediately upon handling. This perceived value positions products in higher price brackets and enhances brand prestige.
Significantly lighter than glass equivalents while maintaining visual impact, reducing shipping costs and carbon footprint without compromising premium positioning.
Unlike glass, SAN jars resist shattering and cracking during shipping, handling, and consumer use, eliminating breakage-related product loss and safety concerns.

BlueSky – Your trusted partner for premium SAN cosmetic jar packaging in the UK.
SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) jars differ from PET and PP jars mainly in appearance, rigidity, and use case.
SAN offers a glass-like clarity and high rigidity, giving products a premium look and feel. It’s often chosen for cosmetic and personal care applications where visual presentation is important. However, SAN is less flexible than PP and less impact-resistant than PET.
PET jars are lightweight, durable, and highly recyclable, making them a popular choice for healthcare, supplements, and food-adjacent products that need clarity and toughness. PP jars offer excellent chemical resistance and flexibility, making them well suited for essential oils, creams, and products requiring frequent opening.
In short, SAN is ideal for premium presentation, PET balances durability and sustainability, and PP prioritises chemical resistance and practicality.
SAN is not generally recommended for products containing essential oils.
Essential oils can be aggressive and may cause stress cracking or material degradation in SAN over time. For products with essential oils or high oil content, PP jars are the preferred option due to their superior chemical resistance, with PET also suitable in some cases.
As always, compatibility testing with your specific formulation is recommended before finalising packaging.
Yes, SAN jars can be used for natural and organic products, provided the formulation is compatible.
SAN is often chosen for natural and organic cosmetics and personal care products where clarity and premium presentation are important. It works well for products such as creams, gels, and powders that do not contain aggressive oils or solvents.
For formulations with essential oils or high oil content, PP jars are generally a better choice due to their higher chemical resistance. Compatibility testing is always recommended to ensure long-term product stability.
Yes, custom colours are available. The minimum order quantity for custom colours is 25,000 units.
For SAN jars, we offer EPE-lined screw caps and Boreseal SAN screw caps:
EPE-lined screw caps provide a secure, flexible seal that helps prevent leaks and is well suited for creams, gels, and other viscous products.
Boreseal SAN screw caps deliver a tight, reliable seal with excellent compatibility and performance on SAN jars, helping protect product integrity.
These closures are designed to work seamlessly with SAN’s finish, giving you dependable protection and a quality appearance for your product.
SAN is significantly lighter than glass.
While glass is heavy and fragile, SAN offers a similar visual clarity and premium appearance but with much less weight. This makes SAN a more practical option for packaging, especially when considering shipping costs and ease of handling. SAN is also more impact-resistant compared to glass, which is prone to breakage.
SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) is moderately resistant to temperature fluctuations, but it is not as heat-resistant as materials like PP (Polypropylene) or PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate).
SAN can handle moderate temperatures (typically between -20°C to 70°C), but it is more likely to warp or crack under extreme heat or very low temperatures. If your product requires exposure to high heat or freezing temperatures, a more heat-resistant material like PET or PP might be more suitable.
