They're both listed as 2 oz, but one jar is obviously bigger. How can this be?</p> <p>Plastic jars have different styles. A jar education will assist you in discovering the perfect packaging solution for your product. Remember what Uncle Ben says, with great knowledge comes great responsibility. Well, maybe that's not the exact Spiderman quote, but you get the drift.

Between the jar's inner wall and outer covering is an empty area. This structure makes the jar look larger than it is and often deceives customers into believing they are purchasing more product than they really are. Not the worst thing that could happen.</p> <p>Our double-wall jars have either round or straight bases and are sold in black, natural, frosted and white colors. Sizes run from ¼ oz to 8 oz. <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/double-wall-plastic-jars/57/>Browse our low profile double-wall jars</a> for additional options as well.<br /> <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j007bk.jpg><img src=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j007bk.jpg alt= border=0 /></a><br /> <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/single-wall-plastic-jars/56/>Single-wall jars</a> are made in a variety of styles. The Oval and Tuscany are two examples. Both jars have shoulders and different forms, but like all single-wall jars, they are constructed from one piece of plastic.</p> <p>Most of the single-wall jars we carry are made of PET, but we are proud to supply some post consumer resin (or PCR for short) options as well (<a href=http://blog.containerandpackaging.com/2010/07/post-consumer-resin-pcr-now-available.html>read our post about this eco-friendly resin</a>). The stock comes in various colors and ranges in size from 1/8 oz to 32 oz.</p> <p><a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j008b.jpg><img src=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j008b.jpg alt= border=0 /></a><br /> <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/thick-wall-plastic-jars/58/>Heavy wall jars</a> are like single-wall jars, both crafted from a single piece of plastic. More resin is used on the outside, which gives the item the heavy, concentrated look. These are the typical spice jars. Our heavy wall jars run from ¼ oz to 4 oz in clear and amber colors.<br /> <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j011c.jpg><img src=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/pics/j011c.jpg alt= border=0 /></a><br /> Do you feel smarter now?
