Overwhelmed by container choices

[SudsyKat]

I'm new to bath and body and have just made a whipped shea butter that I really like. I don't really have any containers to put it in, so I thought I'd order some. I order a lot of my stuff from WSP, so I thought I'd peruse their website and just "pick one". BOY, what a huge variety there are out there!! I'm overwhelmed with choices. Any input would be much appreciated!

Thanks

For me personally I like to kind of go with the theme of my business, or even my labels to match the containor so everything compliments each other!

Oval jars are too hard to scoop product out of & the metal jars can rust. I used metal jars from WSP for shea way back in the day & had some rust, so your real choice is what color jars to go with. They have clear, amber, green, blue or white. Standard height or low (squatty). If you want the product to be seen through the jar you will need to go with clear. If not, choose the color you think best suits your style, logo, etc.

When choosing a lid, you choices are dome (which you can not stack), smooth (which seems like a good idea but anyone with small hands, old hands or arthritis won't be able to open them) or ribbed. Lids come in white, black or metal. The metal lids are a soft metal and often bend when you tighten them making them a real pain to get off.

Hope this helped.
