Airless Jars

Airless Jars for Creams, Moisturizers, Masks, and Gels

What airless jars are used for

An airless jar looks like a short, wide jar, but it works like an airless pump bottle. A pump head sits on top, and a disc inside the jar rises as the product is used and pushes the cream toward the pump. The customer gets a clean dose with one press, without dipping a finger into the jar. That limits how much air touches the product and lets the customer use almost all of it. Airless jars cosmetic brands choose for face cream, moisturizer, eye cream, night cream, sleeping mask, body lotion, and thick gel. The shape suits creams that are too thick for a normal bottle pump.

Sizes and how to measure

Airless jars are sold by the volume they hold. Common sizes are 15 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml. The 30ml airless jars are the most popular size for face cream and eye cream, and 50 ml suits moisturizers and body creams. Check the diameter and the total height with the pump and cap on, because that sets the size of your box. Measure the flat side for a label. The pump must match the jar, so send us the size you want and we confirm the match.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• 15 ml: about 1.6 in wide x 2.4 in tall with cap
• 30 ml: about 1.9 in wide x 3 in tall with cap
• 50 ml: about 2.2 in wide x 3.4 in tall with cap
• 100 ml: about 2.6 in wide x 4.4 in tall with cap

Materials and colors

Airless jars come in plastic and acrylic. Plastic jars are light, do not break, and keep cost low. Acrylic jars have a thick double wall that looks like glass and feels solid. Jars come in white, clear, frosted, and black. Black airless jars give a bold, modern look and hide the cream inside, and white and frosted jars suit a soft, clean style. The collar and pump head can be white, black, gold, or silver, and the cap can be clear, black, white, or frosted. Tell us what the jar will hold and we suggest the best match.

Pumps and caps

An airless jar has a pump head, a collar, and a disc inside the jar. Each press gives a set amount of cream. Some pumps have a lock that stops the pump from moving in shipping, and a cap covers the pump head. Thick products behave differently from thin ones, and a very thick or sticky cream may need a pump built for thick products, so please test your formula in the jar before a large order. We confirm the pump and jar match on the proof.

Printing, coating, and finishes

Custom airless jars can carry a logo in several ways. Screen printing puts one or two colors straight on the jar and lasts well. Hot stamp foil in gold or silver gives a sharp metallic mark. A pressure sensitive label gives full color and room for text, and a matte or colored coating can match your brand. Airless jars wholesale orders can be printed with the same design on every jar, or left plain if you prefer to label them yourself.

Labeling notes

If your jar holds a skincare product, the label must carry the text that the law requires for your product, such as ingredients, net contents, and warnings. You supply the text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check label text or claims, so please have your final label reviewed by a person who knows the rules for your product.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the print area on your jar, or the size of your label. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. Screen print and foil designs work best as single color vector files. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
