Beard Cream Jars
DOLYPACK supplies aluminum beard cream jars in 0.5–4 oz sizes for sample, travel, and retail SKUs. Each beard cream jar uses a wide-mouth opening, screw lid, and liner selected for the wax-and-oil formula.
Built for Balm, Not Lotion
Beard balm and cream run thicker and more wax-heavy than a hand or face lotion, so the jar needs an opening wide enough for a finger or spatula to scoop cleanly, not a narrow neck built for pouring.
Opaque aluminum also blocks light from reaching the essential oils, carrier oils, and botanical extracts in most beard formulas, while a clear glass or PET jar leaves them exposed on a shelf.
For softer, water-based creams that spread rather than scoop, aluminum cream jars for hand and face cream are the better-suited body.
Fill Sizes for Sample, Travel & Retail SKUs
| Fill Size | Typical Mouth Diameter | Typical Height | Typical Empty Jar Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 oz (15 ml) | ~30 mm | ~25 mm | ~8 g |
| 1 oz (30 ml) | ~35 mm | ~30 mm | ~12 g |
| 2 oz (60 ml) | ~45 mm | ~38 mm | ~18 g |
| 4 oz (120 ml) | ~55 mm | ~48 mm | ~28 g |
Four fill sizes ship from stock tooling, so a multi-scent line can standardize one jar body across the whole sample-to-retail ladder instead of tooling a separate shape per SKU.
Figures are typical ranges; exact outside diameter, height, and wall gauge are confirmed on the production drawing once finish and liner are selected.
For a lower-cost sample or gift-with-purchase format outside the jar profile, 1 oz metal tins sit closer to a beard balm tin than a scoop jar and are the flat-tin alternative.
Options
Lids, Liners & Interior Finish
-
Closure
Aluminum screw-lid jars suit products opened repeatedly, while a slip lid fits lower-turnover retail formats.
-
Liner options
PE cones, EPE foam pads, foil induction seals, and separate inner cups are available. Check the material and thickness against the specific wax-and-oil formula.
-
Interior finish
Bare aluminum, anodized surfaces, interior lacquer, and separate inner cups behave differently with concentrated essential oils and fragrance loads.
The same wax-contact considerations apply to hair wax tins. Brands needing a different profile can consider square metal tins or round tin boxes.
Options
Beard Cream Jar or Beard Balm Tin?
Choose the structure according to texture and dispensing method:
-
Beard cream jar
Suits a softer, scoopable cream that spreads easily.
-
Beard balm tin
Fits firmer, wax-heavy formulas rubbed between the palms before application.
Both formats support the same decoration options. See beard balm tins for the flat-tin format.
Custom Finish & Branding
Matte, glossy, frosted, and metallic finishes are available, along with anodized color and lacquering on compatible jar and decoration combinations. Logo branding runs through self-adhesive labels, laser marking, screen printing, embossing/debossing, and full-color CMYK or Pantone printing.
A brand pairing a beard cream launch with a matching gift piece can carry the same finish onto candle jars. Broader cosmetics packaging finish options sit under the same aluminum catalog.
Multi-Scent & Small-Batch Ordering
Several scent variants plus a sample size ahead of the full retail SKU are common for a beard-care launch.
MOQ for a single beard cream jar SKU typically runs 1,000–5,000 units depending on decoration and liner choice. DOLYPACK confirms the exact quantity after reviewing the jar, artwork, and order quantity.
Standard samples generally ship in about 7–10 days, and production orders typically run 25–35 days after art and tooling approval. Multi-scent and multi-SKU launches are quoted per line rather than against one blanket minimum.

Send DOLYPACK the target fill weight or volume, formula type and viscosity, preferred opening diameter, closure and liner preference, and the scent or SKU count in the launch. A filled-product sample, or the formula’s measured density, makes size selection far more reliable than net weight alone. Get Free Samples to start.
