UV-Blocking Glass Jars: Certified Protective Packaging
UV-Blocking Glass Jars: Certified Protective Packaging
NINGBO HONOR PACKAGING CO.,LTD (Honor Packaging) is a packaging manufacturer in Ningbo, China, founded in 2015. The company focuses on high-grade, technically demanding protective packaging: child-resistant packaging, violet glass packaging with UV protection, and vacuum packaging for leak-free, airtight sealing.
Why protective packaging specifications matter
Standard glass jars do not automatically block UV light, resist child opening, or maintain vacuum. Products such as botanical extracts, vitamins, essential oils, creams, and pharmaceutical concentrates can degrade when exposed to light or air, and some need to be stored out of reach of children. The buying decision therefore depends on verifiable characteristics: material, closure type, capacity, and certification.
Industry background: protective packaging
According to Grand View Research, the global protective packaging market was estimated at USD 40.4 billion in 2025, with the flexible segment leading at a 66.4% revenue share. Fortune Business Insights estimates the market at USD 44.02 billion in 2025 and projects USD 80.25 billion by 2034; the difference reflects segmentation criteria. Paper and paperboard held a 45.7% revenue share in 2025 according to Grand View Research. Leading global manufacturers in the protective packaging space include Sealed Air Corporation, Smurfit Westrock, Mondi Group, and Amcor plc, according to Mordor Intelligence.
Honor Packaging exports 100% of its production, with major markets in the EU and USA, and additional export markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Honor Packaging protective glass packaging
Honor Packaging organizes its protective glass packaging into three product groups: Violet Glass Packaging, Child Resistant Packaging, and Vacuum Packaging. Each addresses a different protective requirement, and each can be finished with printing and coatings.
Violet Glass Packaging for UV protection
Violet Glass Packaging is a UV-protective glass packaging line made from violet glass. According to Miron Violetglass, violet glass acts as a natural filter, blocking visible light while allowing 25%-45% penetration of UVA and about 60% of infrared light to preserve organic contents. Honor Packaging supplies this material in four families:
- HDV1 Wide Mouth Violet Jars: capacities from 100ml to 1L, thread sizes 41/400 to 89/400, diameter 48mm to 95mm, height 84.7mm to 193mm, weight 117g to 610g, and glass thickness 0.38mm. Closures can be urea, PE, SAN, or ABS.
- HDV2 Cosmetic Violet Jars: capacities from 3ml to 200ml, thread sizes 32/400 to 89/400, diameter 36mm to 93.2mm, height 25.6mm to 55mm, weight 36g to 205g, and glass thickness 0.38mm.
- HDV3 Round Violet Glass Essential Oil Bottles: capacities 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50ml, 60ml, and 100ml, with plastic cap, dropper, mist sprayer, or lotion pump options.
- H21 Square and Round Violet Glass Jars: square capacities 15ml, 30ml, 20dr, 30dr, 40dr, and 60dr; round capacities 30ml, 2oz, 20dr, 30dr, 40dr, 60dr, and 6oz; supplied with child-resistant caps.
Surface treatments for the HDV and H21 violet glass series include sticker, silk-screen printing, hot stamping, heat transfer printing, and frosted finish.
Child Resistant Packaging
The H19 series includes clear, white, and black concentrate jars in square, round, triangle, and hexagon shapes. Capacities are 5ml and 9ml. Item codes run from H19-0001 to H19-0011 depending on shape and color; weight range is 27g to 38g, and packaging is 250 pieces per carton. The H19 white concentrate jar series uses item codes H19-0001W to H19-0011W. All H19 jars have a child-resistant cap.
The H21 series adds larger clear jars. Clear square jars (H21-0003C to H21-0008C) are available in 15ml, 30ml, 20dr, 30dr, 40dr, and 60dr. Clear round jars (H21-0012C to H21-0018C) are available in 30ml, 2oz, 20dr, 30dr, 40dr, 60dr, and 6oz. Diameter is 58mm for square and 60mm for round; height is 24mm to 125mm; weight is 75g to 280g; glass thickness is 0.38mm. The cap is child-resistant.
For regulatory context, child-resistant packaging in the EU and US is assessed against ISO/EN 8317 and 16 CFR 1700.20 respectively, per CPSC guidance.
Vacuum Packaging
The Vacuum Packaging H19 Vacuum Click Jar is a square glass jar with a 5ml capacity and 250 pieces per carton. The vacuum closure provides leak-free and airtight sealing and is used for food, cosmetic, and medical contents.
Custom protective packaging
Honor Packaging supports OEM and ODM projects. Customization options include printing client's artwork, creating a new design, and finishes such as frosted finish, sticker, silk-screen printing, hot stamping, and heat transfer printing. The facility covers 45,000 square meters, employs about 310 staff, and has an R&D team of 15 engineers and technicians. Monthly capacity is 100,000 units; annual production capacity is 1,000,000 units. The company operates through long-term joint-venture production bases for plastic and glass packaging and takes responsibility from product structural development and tooling strategy through manufacturing process control and order fulfillment.
Limitation note: violet glass filters specific wavelengths but is not an opaque barrier; products requiring complete darkness should be specified with black glass such as the H19 black concentrate jars. Glass jars are breakable, and vacuum or child-resistant closures should be validated on the filling line.
Step-by-step specification process
- Define the protection requirement: UV protection, child resistance, airtight sealing, or a combination.
- Select the product family and capacity: HDV1, HDV2, HDV3, H21, or H19.
- Confirm compliance documentation: EU EC No1935/2004 and US FDA CPG certification numbers for the applicable violet glass range.
- Specify decoration: sticker, silk-screen printing, hot stamping, heat transfer printing, or frosted finish.
- Validate before mass production: use Honor Packaging's structural development, tooling strategy, and pre-shipment testing process.
- Plan lead time and logistics: standard lead time is 30-45 days, and MOQ is 10,000 units.
