    Frequently Asked Questions

    • 5 g, 9 g, 10 g, 15 g and 20 g, all with lids. 5 g is a single-use sample, 10 g is a trial or travel size, 15 g suits eye-cream minis and 20 g suits travel sizes and full-size balms. The 9 g jars have a child-proof lid. For full-size creams, see cream jars.
    • 5 g for free samples and 10 g for paid trial sizes. 5 g gives a customer three to five uses of a face cream, enough to judge texture and scent; 10 g lasts one to two weeks, long enough to see results. Most brands put 5 g jars in PR kits and sell a 10 g mini alongside the full size.
    • Clear, amber and frosted glass in 5 g, 10 g and 15 g; white square and black round 9 g child-proof pots; and clear 20 g jars, plain or designer. Amber protects light-sensitive creams, clear shows the product, and frosted gives a matte gift-set look. One sampling range can mix colours by product.
    • Glass, when the sample has to sell a premium product. Glass is inert, so the cream does not react with the container, and it feels heavier and more premium in the hand. Plastic pots and sachets are cheaper and lighter for mass sampling. Many brands use glass for PR kits and paid minis, and sachets for free giveaways.
    • Yes: every jar ships with its own screw lid. The 9 g pots have a press-and-turn child-proof lid, and the designer 20 g jars come with their matched black or gold lid. Fill to just below the rim and wipe the threads before closing, so the lid seats evenly.
    • Yes: the 20 g designer jars belong to families that include 30 g and 50 g jars and pump bottles. A C14, C01 or C46 20 g jar looks like a smaller version of the full-size product, which makes a sample instantly recognisable. See premium glass jars for the full families.
    • Use a small spatula for creams, a piping bag or syringe for soft balms, and pour molten balms into room-temperature jars. Fill to just below the rim, tap the jar to settle the product, and close once a balm has fully set. Work on a tray of jars rather than one at a time on a large run.
    • They ship straight from the factory cartons, not pre-washed or sterilised. Wash them in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse, and let them dry completely before filling; a rinse with 70% isopropyl alcohol is a quick way to sanitise the glass. Fill only into dry jars; a drop of water shortens the shelf life of a cream.
    • A round sticker on the lid is the easiest way to brand a small jar, and it works from a single piece. A slim side label suits 10 g and larger jars. Printing, painting and frosting on the glass are made to order from 1,000 pieces for large sampling programmes.
    • No: order a single jar to test, then buy in bulk at the stepped prices on each product page. Your logo printed on the glass starts at just 1,000 pieces. In-stock orders leave Chennai within 3 working days with a GST invoice. For a large sampling run, WhatsApp +91 75500 42423 with the sizes and quantities.

    Glass colour. Amber protects creams and balms with essential oils, vitamin C or retinol from light. Clear shows the colour of a tinted balm. Frosted glass gives a matte, premium look for gift sets.

    Why glass for samples. A sample is often a customer's first touch of your brand. Glass is inert, so the formula stays as you made it, and it feels heavier and more premium than a plastic sachet or pot.
