One of our newest items is especially popular to the body care crafter, aroma-therapist, candle crafter and personal body care crafter. Our FROSTED GLASS bottles and jars are exquisite for the professional manufacturer or hobbyist alike. We now have a 4 oz clear (flint) frosted boston round, 22/410 available with cap options such as our silver metal cap. This bottle can be used to elegantly display items such as tonics, floral waters, toners and more. To compliment this bottle we have added a 2 oz clear (flint) frosted glass jar, 48/400, that is available a variety of closures such as the silver and black. The jar would be a beautiful choice for special hand and face lotions and creams as well. These two items are nicely complimented by the frosted roll on containers, which are available in clear (flint), blue and green. Again, the closure options are unlimited, with color choices like silver and black. The roll on bottles have been used for lip balm products, perfumes and colognes and more.

PACKAGING TIPS:
    When considering what type of container to use you should follow the recommended recipes and always test products for compatibility prior to use. Certain products store better in colored containers rather than clear where issues of light permeability are a concern. Also some types of oils work better with glass rather than plastic so it is always recommended to know your ingredients and test accordingly. When it comes to choosing the right container size you may find it helpful to use a conversion chart. We are currently updating our website to include this resourceful information so that you can convert your measurement whether dry or liquid into the proper units to find the container that will most suit your product. Also, some of our containers are measured by liquid volume while others are by weight.
There are also some great online resources for measurement conversions such as:
