angied Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi folks,I was just wondering what size and type jars do you put your sugar scrubs in and where do you get them? Is 16oz to much? I looked for something alittle smaller but all I can find is 8oz. Maybe I am just having a blonde day;) ThanksAngie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Well I love scrubs and use them a lot. They really help my dry skin. Still, it takes a while for even me to get through an 8 oz. container. ANything smaller, though, and I blaze right through it. So I like 8 oz. containers myself. I prefer a jar I can scoop from; I tried Malibu tubes, but my scrub is too thick to dispense easily.Guess I'm too much of a weakling to heft the 16 oz'ers.

angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 thanks crafty, I was just sitting here looking at my 8oz jar and thought it looked alittle small, but 16oz sounds like alot. I would love to find maybe a 10-12 oz. I think that would be perfect:D Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think 16oz is just too much too...plus its hard for them to fit in my shower. I want to try the 12oz size. But I'm going with the 8oz for now & a smaller sampler size.I also prefer a shorter jar. The taller ones sometimes are hard to get your fingers in there to scoop some into your hands when you're getting down to the bottom.

angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I agree about a shorter jar lindsaycb, now we just need to find someone who knows the best place we can get a stubby 10oz jar;) Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well, I am gonna be the oddball here and go with the 16 oz. I think. When I use my brown sugar scrub, I like to rub it all over my arms and legs, so it doesn't take me long to go through the 8 oz I have been testing in my shower.

angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well Kaybee, dont tell anyone but I have a 16oz in my shower right now;) but I didnt know what sells the best. I agree I use it all over my body and atleast a cpl of times a week so I go thru it pretty quick. Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I had 'em in 16 oz. I just got some 8oz. to try. I am on the hunt for some 10-12oz too. If you find any that would work be sure to post and let us know. I will do the same.oh and adding that I am not selling them yet so I don't know what sells better.

Scent Cellar Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have given the size issue with sugar scrubs alot of thought. Although I like a 16 oz jar I decided on an 8 oz jar. I think it would be more in the price range where more people would buy the 8 oz than a larger jar. Low profile are great but it's easier to label a regular jar than low profile ... at least for me. I offer an 8 oz jar for xxx$$ and two 8 oz jars for twice as much minus $1 for those that want 2 of them at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I just got the 16 oz straight jars from MMS and they look awesome for scrubs and I love how there is a lot, I use it everyday and most of the customers that have been buying it use it very often as well. I just started making these very recently and I am getting rave reviews from customers and my testers loved the jars and the scrub...yeah, cus I absolutely love this it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have to figure out costing for each of the jars and think on it some more before I make a final decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well folks I found a place that has 12oz jars now I just need to figure out which way I want to go (12oz or 16oz) and figure out cost issues....oh yeah here is the site http://www.bathbodysupply.com/page/page/901913.htmLet me know what you all think;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well folks I found a place that has 12oz jars now I just need to figure out which way I want to go (12oz or 16oz) and figure out cost issues....oh yeah here is the site http://www.bathbodysupply.com/page/page/901913.htmLet me know what you all think;)Has anyone tried these. I saw them just a few days ago, and I also have been trying to figure out a good size for the scrubs, thinking 8 oz isn't enough but 16 oz being to much. It's hard to tell from the picture, but these look really cheap to me. I love the size, but not sure about the quality. I hope someone has tried them and can let us know the quality of them.

angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 OK does anyone know anything about these jars? http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin68a.html I mean they look kinda plain but it they come in 12oz and 16oz plus have lids.....so whada ya think??Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm still on the fence post about scrubs as well. I go through it pretty fast as I use it daily so, 16 oz. would be great for me. But, price wise and selling, 8 oz. would probably be more feasible and might yield more sales. Although, 10 oz. might be appealing too. See, I told you I'm still on the fence post. If I'm not mistaken, Amanda used these for her salts and Carmen uses these for her Intensive Moisturizing Cream. These are 12 oz. http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin118c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I like the ones from Bath & Body supply better than the ones from SKS...it looks more professional and you can see the yummy product through them...the 12 oz sounds like a good size.Kaybee- you will love those jars, everyone makes comments on them then they buy, it does hold a lot of scrub but I am a scrubaholic, just hope my customrers are as well. So far so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angied Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Ok here is a 16oz...scroll down to the bottom. Plus she is close to me so that saves alot in shipping for me.http://www.conniescandles.com/bodycare.htmlI know I am driving you all crazy arent I...I have to be because I am driving myself crazy:tongue2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 those are good, the only caution I have is that 2 of my testers got their scrubs in the ovals and had negative feedback on them, they said they could not scoop out very good. I let them know they were not going to be packaged in those jars and they were so happy. I didn't look at the price, but if it is good, go for it, don't buy a huge amount and you can always switch later once you get feedback from your clientele base.Your not driving us nuts...thats what we are here for packaging can be one of the biggest struggles in making new product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticglow Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have the 16oz. straight side jar from MMS and I love it. I haven't made up my mind yet if I will sell this size or not. Depends on final price which I haven't done yet. :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yes, I think 10 or 12 oz. is doable. Good size and more affordable than a whopping 16 oz. I would like to find a good jar that seals like a lightning bale wire jar, but not in glass. Glass + wet tubs/showers = tragedy! That way they'd seal well enough to ship without leaking. I've heard such a jar can be found, but I can't remember where since senility is creeping in early for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
