## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
Choosing a body butter container: 100–500 ml wide-mouth jars in PP, PET and glass (never unlined acrylic), Ø63–Ø100 finishes, inner lids and disc liners, capacity vs fill weight, QC thresholds, indicative MOQ and lead time from China.

A body butter is an oil-rich, often whipped, sometimes essential-oil-scented solid that is scooped with fingers. That makes the container a wide-mouth jar, rules out unlined acrylic and AS on contact, and puts the seal — inner lid, disc liner, foil — in charge of shelf life. Sizes run 100–500 ml, far larger than a face-cream jar, so weight, freight and lid torque scale with them. This guide gives the materials, sizes, closures, tests and minimums.

A body butter container is a wide-mouth jar, 100–500 ml , in PP (chemically robust, lightest, from ~500 stock pieces), PET (clear, economical, for butters without high essential-oil loads) or glass (inert, premium, 2–3× the weight) — never unlined acrylic , because oils craze PMMA. Finishes are Ø63, Ø70, Ø83, Ø89 or Ø100 mm with a screw lid, disc liner and optional inner lid or foil seal. Stock jars ship in 7–25 days , printed from about 2,000 pieces ; a private mould is a 90–120 day programme.

Body butters sit in the "balms, body butters, oil-rich masks, essential-oil formulas" row of the jar compatibility table: glass or PP, never AS or unlined PMMA, because oils and essential oils craze acrylic, attack AS and extract plasticisers. The full product range is on cosmetic jars and cream pots .

Why a 200 ml jar does not hold 200 g of whipped butter, and how to write the fill line, is explained in why a 50 ml jar holds less than 50 ml ; the acrylic-liner rule is worked through in acrylic vs glass vs PP cream jar .

Large wide-mouth PP and PET jars are stocked in most sizes, so a first order is usually a stock jar plus a label or a one-colour print. Ranges are indicative via partner factories already tooled for small runs; the published single-factory floor is 5,000–10,000 per item. Cross-category tables: MOQ index , lead-time index .
