Cosmetic Jar Materials
Leave a message
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 fully 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 Jar Colour Options
We 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.
