Full-Range Frosted Glass Jars: Acid-Etched Durability & Dual-Tier Closure Economics
Unify your brand aesthetics across eight standard capacities-from 5 g promotional samples to 200 g professional salon sizes-with our frosted glass cream jar series. Utilizing genuine acid-etched soda-lime glass, the frosted finish is physically etched into the glass substrate rather than sprayed on, guaranteeing zero scratching, peeling, or shipping scuffs.
Universal Thread Geometry & Streamlined Portfolio Routing:
To optimize supply chain management, every capacity utilizes standardized neck finishes that support two distinct closure styles on the same jar body: clean white PP caps for mass-market distribution, or matte silver aluminium caps for premium tiering. This allows your brand to run multi-tier pricing strategies using a single glass inventory.

Our published container specifications represent caliper-verified production measurements, not catalog approximations. The 150 g and 200 g jars share a unified manufacturing platform, ensuring seamless visual harmony across larger body-care SKUs, with exact tolerances verified during physical sample sign-off.
Specific Gravity Verification & Shelf-Presence Engineering:
Nominal fill capacities in grams are calibrated based on a standard cream specific gravity near 1.0 g/cm³. Low-density or aerated formulations-such as whipped soufflés, mousses, or body butter creams-occupy substantially higher volume per unit weight. Provide your bulk density metrics , and our technical team will audit your formulation to specify the precise jar capacity that ensures a full, high-luxury presentation on retail shelves.
Why Frosted Glass for Cream and Lotion?
Protect your brand integrity with genuine acid-etched frosted glass. Unlike cheap spray coatings that feel rough like sandpaper and chip at the neck threads-risking paint flaking into your product-acid etching permanently transforms the glass matrix itself into a silky, scuff-resistant surface.
Manufactured from 100% inert soda-lime glass, these jars will not absorb fragrances or react with active oils and emulsions. Furthermore, the substantial physical weight of a 50 g glass jar delivers the high-luxury hand-feel required for prestige market positioning.
Transparent Channel Risk Management: We take an honest engineering approach to supply chain selection. While heavy glass excels in luxury retail environments, its tare weight and fragility present challenges for D2C e-commerce parcels and travel kits.
For these distribution channels, we plainly advise specifying shatterproof PET or PP alternatives-because ensuring long-term packaging success across your specific fulfillment route matters more to us than a single sale.

Both lids fit the same neck finish, so you can launch with PP and upgrade to aluminum for a holiday edition without changing the jar or the filling line setup.
Customization Options
Maximize brand impact with specialized decoration on frosted glass. Acid-etched glass provides an ideal printing substrate: its matte, light-diffusing surface renders fine typography sharply while hiding minor printing registration variances far better than glossy glass. Choose up to 6-color silk screening, metallic foil hot stamping, or high-temperature ceramic fired decals-which vitrify graphics directly into the glass to survive repeated washing and sanitizing in sustainable refillable packaging systems.
External Color Coatings & Tailored Closure Treatments:
For custom colorways, we offer solid or gradient external spraying.
Coatings are applied exclusively to the outer wall, ensuring your formulation touches only 100% pure, inert glass. Complete your package with custom closure treatments: aluminum caps engineered with tactile embossed or debossed logos, or PP caps precision-molded to your exact brand Pantone specifications.
Production and Quality Control
We enforce rigorous physical quality protocols across every frosted glass manufacturing batch. Incoming glass is screened for inclusions, while polarized light inspection isolates internal residual annealing stress that causes spontaneous delayed cracking. Dimensional control holds wall thickness deviation within 1.5 mm and base variance within 3.0 mm, with neck finish geometries continuously audited using calibrated Go/No-Go thread gauges every two hours.
Thermal Shock Integrity & Certified AQL Dispatch:
To safeguard against hot-filling stress and extreme container transit temperatures, sample units must withstand a 42℃ thermal shock differential (64℃ directly into 22℃ water) with zero structural failure. Closure integrity is proven through a 48-hour inverted leakage audit at 40℃ under target torque. Every batch passes final random sampling to AQL 2.5 (Major) / 4.0 (Minor) standards, with full pre-shipment container-loading photo documentation provided before final dispatch.
FAQ
Q: Is the frosting permanent?
A: Yes. Our jars are acid-etched - the frosting is the glass surface itself, not a coating. It will not scratch off, chip at the thread, or flake into your formula. Spray-frosted jars from other suppliers can do all three.
Q: What is the difference between this page and your 5-50ml cream jar page?
A: That page goes deep on the face-cream segment (5-50ml). This page is the full series - one design from 5g sample jars to 200g salon sizes - for brands that want every SKU in the line to match.
Q: What is the MOQ?
A: 5,000 pcs for stock sizes with standard lids; 10,000 pcs for custom decoration or color spraying. Mixed-size orders are welcome - ask us how to combine sizes in one production run.
Q: Which lid should I choose for an oil-rich balm?
A: Either lid works, but swap the standard foam liner for a solid PE disc. PE foam absorbs oils over weeks of shelf time, loses compression, and starts leaking. This is one of the most common failures we see from brands switching suppliers.
Q: Can I get samples?
A: Yes. Stock samples are free, freight collect, and ship within 3 days. Decorated pre-production samples with your artwork take 10-15 days.
Q: Can you match our brand color on the lids?
A: PP lids can be molded in any Pantone color at MOQ 10,000 pcs. Aluminum lids are natural matte silver standard; anodized gold, rose or black are available on request.
Q: Is frosted glass recyclable?
A: Yes. Acid-etched frosted glass recycles in the standard glass stream - unlike spray-coated or metallized jars, which some recyclers reject. The PP lid is stream #5 and the aluminum lid is infinitely recyclable; consumers should separate lid and jar.
Q: Can these jars go on a hot-fill line?
A: Warm-fill up to about 45-50°C is fine - the 42°C thermal shock test covers this. For true hot-fill above 60°C, tell us your process and we will confirm suitability with a line trial first.
Q: What are your payment terms?
A: Orders under USD 5,000 are paid in full in advance. Larger orders: 30-50% T/T deposit, balance before shipment. L/C accepted for established accounts. We ship FOB Shanghai or Ningbo; CIF and DDP quotes available on request.
Q: How are the jars packed for export?
A: Each jar is separated by a divider or egg-crate carton, lids packed in the same carton but bagged separately to prevent scratching. Five-ply export cartons, palletized for container loads. We photograph packed cartons before sealing so you see exactly what arrives.
