What are eye cream jars?
Eye products use 5–20 ml of formula but carry premium price points, so the pack has to look and feel expensive at the same time as being easy to handle with a fingertip or applicator.
Common designs include a thick-walled jar with a spatula under the lid, a small airless pump bottle, and a jar with a fine-tip applicator. Each changes the fill process and the MOQ, so the format decision should be made early.

Product features
Dose control at small volume
Small jars and airless pumps reduce the risk of over-dispensing an expensive, concentrated formula.
Hygiene accessories
Integrated spatula holders, ceramic-tip applicators and sealed lids support hygienic use without a separate tool.
Premium scale
A 15 ml pack can carry the same decoration set as a 50 ml jar, so small sizes still justify premium price positioning.

How these are manufactured
Parts are moulded by injection, injection blow or extrusion blow moulding depending on the format and material, then assembled, decorated and inspected in lots. Moulding parameters are recorded per mould so repeat orders match the approved sample. Read the manufacturing process.
Quality control
Dimension and weight checks, closure torque, leak and dose testing where relevant, colour verification (ΔE ≤ 1.5 opaque parts) and AQL 1.0/2.5 final inspection. Lot records are supplied with the shipping documents. See the inspection checklist.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about eye cream jars. Send any specific question through the contact form and a packaging engineer will reply in writing.
What is the standard eye cream jar size?
15 ml is the most common eye cream size, with 5–10 ml for concentrated or trial formats and 20 ml for eye masks and larger treatments.
Is a jar or a pump better for eye cream?
A jar is familiar and lets users take the exact amount; an airless pump offers better protection and dosing for actives such as retinol. Many brands launch a jar for the core SKU and use a pump for a retinol variant.
Can you supply an eye cream jar with a spatula?
Yes. Spatulas can be supplied loose in the carton, clip-mounted inside the lid, or integrated into a separate applicator pack. Adding a spatula normally affects packing MOQ rather than the mould.
What MOQ applies to small jars?
Stock 10 ml and 15 ml moulds start at 1,000 pcs per design; decorated orders usually start at 3,000 pcs.
What is the MOQ for eye cream jars?
1,000 pcs per design for stock moulds; 3,000 pcs for decorated orders; 10,000 pcs per size for custom moulds.
Can I customise the colour?
Yes. Colour is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical sample and verified on production-resin parts. Custom colour matching on body, lid or both is the standard route, and we supply samples for approval before the run.
Can you print or emboss my logo?
Yes — printing, hot stamping, coating, labelling and custom closures are all available for eye cream jars. Choose the method with your surface finish in mind: gloss print or foil works best on matte and soft-touch surfaces.
Can I request samples?
Stock samples in 5–10 working days; custom colour and decorated samples in 10–20 working days. Stock samples are supplied free (up to five pieces per SKU, courier at your cost); custom colour and decorated samples are quoted per project, typically USD 120–450.
Can you develop a custom mould?
Yes. Custom tooling is quoted as a separate line item with the cavity plan stated, usually from around 10,000 pcs per size and 25–40 calendar days from drawing approval to first-article inspection.
What is the production lead time?
15–30 working days after sample approval, depending on quantity, decoration and assembly complexity.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship eye cream jars to the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and Latin America, quoting FOB, CIF, DDP and air freight.
Which materials are available?
PP, Acrylic + PP inner cup, PETG, PCR PP. Selection is driven by formula compatibility, clarity requirements, decoration and any recycled-content target.
