FAQs

What's the difference between PET, PP, and HDPE jars?

What’s the difference between PET, PP, and HDPE jars?
PET jars offer high clarity and a glass-like look, making them great for showcasing products.

PP jars are heat-resistant and durable, ideal for creams, balms, and frequent use.

HDPE jars are opaque and impact-resistant, providing excellent protection for light-sensitive products.

Which material should I choose?

Your choice depends on your product’s needs:

  • Choose PET if you need high clarity for showcasing products, ideal for food, cosmetics, or supplements.
  • Choose PP if your product requires heat resistance or is frequently opened and closed, like creams or balms.
  • Choose HDPE for impact resistance and protection against light, perfect for industrial products or items that need extra durability.

Still unsure? Feel free to contact us, and we’ll help you find the best option!

Are these jars food-safe?

Yes, all of our jars made from PET, PP, and HDPE are food-safe, provided they meet the necessary regulations for food packaging.

  • PET is commonly used for food and beverage packaging due to its clarity and moisture resistance.
  • PP is also food-safe and is often used for items like jams, sauces, or other temperature-sensitive products.
  • HDPE is approved for food contact and is a great option for storing bulk or industrial food products.

Always ensure that the specific jar you choose complies with relevant FDA or food safety standards for your region – We can support you with this.

Can I get tamper-evident closures?

Yes. Tamper-evident closures are available with the use of liners such as Boreseal or IHS, which create a seal between the lid and jar to show if the container has been opened.

Are recycled content options available?

Yes. Our PET straight sided jars are available with 35% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, helping support more sustainable packaging options.

What is your minimum order quantity?

We have a minimum order value of £500.
