Wholesale Small Size PET Plastic Cream Jar with 5G-100G Size Range and MOQ 10000pcs for Easy Carry

Types of Plastic Cream Containers

The choice of container depends heavily on the product's viscosity, desired user experience, and preservation needs.

1. Jars

The classic container, as previously discussed.

• Mechanism: Open mouth, accessed by dipping fingers or a spatula.

• Best For: Thick creams, balms, butters, masks, and products where a luxurious, pampering experience is key.

• Pros: Cost-effective, great branding space, perceived as premium.

• Cons: Least hygienic, exposes all product to air, difficult to fully empty.

• Common Materials: PP (translucent), PET (clear), Acrylic (high-gloss).

2. Tubes

A flexible container with a nozzle, dispensed by squeezing.

• Mechanism: Product is squeezed out through a capped nozzle.

• Best For: Lotions, gels, ointments, and lighter creams. Excellent for targeted application.

• Pros: Hygienic (no air or bacteria gets back in), easy to control dosage, portable, 99% evacuable.

• Cons: Can be difficult to fully control the amount squeezed; can "worm" (suck air back in) if not sealed well.

• Common Materials: Laminated plastic (for stability and barrier properties).

3. Airless Pumps

The premium standard for product preservation. They use a vacuum mechanism to dispense product without letting air in.

• Mechanism: A piston at the bottom rises as the pump is pressed, pushing the cream up. No dip tube is needed.

• Best For: High-end skincare with active ingredients (Vitamin C, retinol, peptides), formulations prone to contamination.

• Pros: Most hygienic and preservative. Protects sensitive ingredients from air and light. Dispenses a precise dose. Elegant and modern.

• Cons: More expensive than jars or tubes. Can have a higher "throw-away" cost as some product remains in the mechanism.

• Common Materials: Often made of PP, with a decorative outer sleeve.

4. Bottles with Pumps

A container paired with a lotion pump (a type of dispenser pump with a long dip tube).

• Mechanism: User presses a pump head to draw product up through a dip tube.

• Best For: Body lotions, hand creams, and liquidy serums.

• Pros: Hygienic, easy to dispense with one hand, good for larger volumes.

• Cons: Not suitable for very thick creams, as they can clog the pump. Requires "priming" on first use. Leaves product in the bottom.

• Common Materials: PET, PP, HDPE.

5. Squeeze Tubes with a Flip Cap

A hybrid between a tube and a bottle, often standing upright.

• Mechanism: The container is squeezed, and product dispenses through a small flip-top cap.

• Best For: Face washes, serums, lighter creams.

• Pros: Convenient and controlled, less messy than an open tube, stand-up design.

• Cons: Similar to tubes, can be hard to control the squeeze and may "worm."
