.3 ounce / 8.5 g Shallow Paper Jar

Meet the 0.3 oz / 8.5 g Shallow Paper Jar—the compact packaging choice that looks refined on shelves and treats the planet with respect. Crafted from FSC-certified paper, this jar elevates sustainability from a buzzword to a tangible benefit for your brand and customers.

Inside-out strength with a subtle sheen: the jar isn’t just paper—it's reinforced by a thin layer of food-grade vegetable wax lining. This oil-proof shield preserves your product’s integrity, whether you’re packaging balm, salve, dry cosmetics, or powders, while keeping the contents protected from external oils and moisture. The result is a compact vessel that holds up under regular handling, shipping, and display, without compromising recyclability.

The lid completes the package with a secure, paper-on-paper design that removes smoothly—pull it or twist it and it stays tucked in place between uses. Note that the jar is not airtight, making it ideal for non-liquid products where a little breathability is acceptable and where you want easy access for customers.

Beyond performance, this jar embodies true sustainability. Both container and lining are designed with end-of-life in mind, offering compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable pathways. And because every order matters, we ship using recycled, plastic-free materials right through the supply chain—a practical, tangible commitment to reducing plastic waste in packaging.

Sustainable packaging built for real-world use

Designed for brands that value portability and reliability, this shallow jar travels well and ships efficiently. Its lightweight construction reduces shipping energy, while the secure lid prevents leaks during transit. Use cases span cosmetic labs, indie brands, spa products, and DIY makers who need a compact, premium-feeling container that communicates eco-consciousness to customers.
