One of the first considerations when shopping for lip balm containers is choosing a package that fits the consistency of the lip balm. Some lip balms are quite solid, while others can have an almost runny consistency. Generally speaking, lip balm jars with tight-fitting lids are great options for solid lip balm. Alternatively, lip gloss tubes are perfect for a recipe that results in a lip gloss with a more watery consistency. For lip balm recipes that result in smooth balms that are neither hard nor runny, lip balm tubes may be the best option.
People should also consider size when shopping for lip balm containers; the size needed will likely depend on the lip balm recipe being used or the consistency of the final product. Solid or hard lip products tend to last longer than softer ones. For this reason, a smaller container can be used for solid lip balms that last a long time. Mild lip balms tend to wear down more quickly and therefore may require a larger container. Generally speaking, lip balm containers range in size from 0.15 to 1 ounce (about 4.4 to 29.6 ml).
A final consideration when shopping for lip balm containers is price. Although there are certainly a plethora of reasonably priced shipping containers available for sale, some of the most attractive examples are often a bit more expensive. In general, the price will depend on the size of the container and the material from which it is made. Plastic is usually the cheapest option, while metal cans and other specialty containers are usually more expensive.
