What this product is

Empty travel cream jars are the only goods in this China quote: a set of small containers with screw lids, shipped unfilled. They are not a filled cosmetic and they are not a fragrance, so cosmetic filling rules sit outside this quote. Resin or glass, jar volume, lid seal, and the count per set are what an estimated price responds to. A typical opening order can private-label a pad print or a paper label on an existing jar, while a new neck finish or a custom jar silhouette needs tooling. Write the brief with capacity in millilitres, material, lid color, jars per set, and a clear statement that the jars stay empty. Desk sheets show an indicative ex-works band before freight. An approximate landed number varies with whether the set is PP, PET, or glass, because glass cubes and breaks differently. Potential confusion with a filled cream SKU should be blocked in the purchase order so the plant does not source a bulk formula.

Indicative sourcing numbers

These are desk estimates for a conversation, not a factory invoice and not a retail offer from this website.

Indicative China sourcing price: $0.45 to $1.20
Suggested retail range: $8 to $16
Estimated gross margin: 40% to 60%

Indicative estimates only. Actual margins vary by supplier, quantity, specifications, shipping, duties, taxes, marketplace fees, advertising and destination market.

Why it is interesting

Empty jars let a brand ship a container SKU without taking on a filled formula.
Lid seal and resin choice are the two lines that move a small jar through the band.

What to specify

Status: Empty and unfilled
Lid: Screw cap
Excluded contents: No cream and no fragrance
Material: PP, PET, or glass
Set size: Count and millilitres stated in the brief

Customization and private label

Pad print or a paper label can be added on the first order, while a new jar silhouette or neck finish needs tooling, and the jars must stay empty.

Some customization is realistic on this kind of product. Private label packaging is often possible once artwork is approved. Read how private label manufacturing in China is handled, and when a new product needs the OEM/ODM path.

How the desk would source it

Note 1. Write empty, unfilled, and no fragrance on the purchase order and on the carton mark.
Note 2. Do not mix a cream formula into this container quote.

The usual path is the same as other China factory sourcing: confirm the spec, compare factories, sample, then inspect before shipment. China supplier verification and China quality inspection are available. Goods can be received at the Xiamen warehouse and moved through China warehouse consolidation or sea, air, and express freight.
