16 Oz Jars (480 ml): Bulk Cream, Scrub and Gel
By Joe Joo · 8PCK · Shantou · Updated 26 October 2026
16 oz is about 480 ml — the bulk size for scrub, gel, hair mask and candle. It is the jar where the wall and the base decide whether it survives shipping.
A 16 oz jar holds a product a customer uses in the shower, so grip and a wide mouth matter more than the label.
The free Bottle Spec Checker tests whether your neck fits the closure and whether the wall survives a pump stroke.

Wide Mouth and Base
An 82 mm or 89 mm neck fills a thick product fast. The base has to be flat and reinforced: a full 480 ml jar sags in a pallet stack if it is not.
Material Choice
PP for scrub and hot fill; PET only for cold gel and where clarity sells; glass for premium candles.
Where It Fails
Base deformation under load, and lids that crack at the thread when over-torqued.
What to Send in a Brief
For a 16 oz (480 ml) pack used for bulk scrub and gel, five answers settle it: capacity, neck, closure, quantity and whether the pack travels. Those decide the wall, the liner and the carton before a sample is made.
The Three Numbers That Matter
Capacity, neck and wall. Everything else — colour, decoration, carton — follows them.
What We Check Before Quoting
That the closure exists in that neck, that the wall survives the fill, and that the carton protects the shoulder.
What We Do Not Do
Filling, formulation and label design. We supply the container and the closure, tested together.
Common Mistakes at This Size
Two failures dominate returns at this size: a closure that leaks in transit, and a wall thin enough to crack the first time it is dropped.
Both are decided at the specification stage, not at the mould.
