Our 6oz amber glass jars are a practical packaging choice for candles, creams, scrubs, balms, cosmetics and other specialist products. Available in packs of 42 or bulk quantities of 420, these versatile 180ml jars give businesses of different sizes the choice to order according to their production needs.
At Freeman & Harding, we supply carefully selected glass packaging to independent makers, growing brands and established retail customers across the UK. Choose your required pack and lid option above, then add the jars to your basket. If you would like to inspect the jar before placing a larger order, samples are also available.
Amber glass helps protect light-sensitive ingredients from damaging UV and blue light. It can block roughly 99% of this radiation, helping to preserve products containing ingredients such as essential oils and vitamins. Although amber glass provides useful UV protection, finished products should still be stored in accordance with the requirements of their ingredients.
The jars are made from pure amber glass containing 45% recycled content. Glass is 100% recyclable, non-reactive and impermeable. It will not absorb odours or flavours from the stored product, making it suitable for many cosmetic, healthcare and specialist retail applications.
The rich amber colour also gives the packaging a traditional apothecary appearance. It works particularly well for natural skincare, aromatherapy products, bath preparations and handmade candles.
The 180ml size gives customers enough capacity for a useful retail product while remaining compact and easy to handle. Its wide mouth makes it easier to fill the jar during production and allows access to the finished contents without difficulty.
These amber jars are suitable for:
Packaging compatibility will depend on the exact ingredients and filling process. Freeman & Harding recommends testing the complete jar-and-closure combination before starting full production. This is particularly important when packaging active formulas, essential oils, pharmaceuticals or products such as urea creams.
If you intend to use these jars for candles, please complete the appropriate wax, wick, fragrance and container testing before retail sale.
Our 6oz amber glass jars can be purchased with a choice of compatible black, silver or gold lids. They may also be available without lids, depending on the product and option selected. Check the individual listing before ordering to ensure the pack contains the combination you require.
The aluminium cap option is EPE-lined. This lining is designed to help prevent leakage and contamination when the cap is fitted correctly. A tight-fitting lid used with amber glass can also reduce exposure to air and moisture, helping to protect the contents during storage.
The available finishes make it easier to match the jar to your branding. Gold offers a warmer premium appearance, silver provides a clean finish, and black creates a simple contrast against the amber glass. Spare lids can also be ordered separately when required.
Each jar has a brimful capacity of 180ml, a diameter of approximately 65.1mm and a height of approximately 80.2mm. The 63mm neck is designed for use with the compatible closures shown on the relevant product page.
These dimensions can help when planning labels, outer packaging and retail shelf space. We recommend ordering through the Freeman & Harding sample service before approving printed labels or presentation boxes. Testing a sample also gives you the opportunity to check the jar against your filling equipment and finished product.
The minimum order quantity for this category is one pack of 42 jars. This size is a useful choice for smaller production runs, new product testing or businesses with limited stock space.
For higher-volume requirements, Freeman & Harding also supplies a bulk pack of 420 jars. Buying the larger quantity can reduce your cost per container and help you keep enough packaging in stock for repeat production.
