Hi Amanda, I stock a very wide range of packaging, mostly in PET material bottles, jars and all sorts of accessories (caps, pumps.etc). I bring them in from various suppliers from overseas in bulk, so the cost should be relatively reasonable. There is no minimum, you can buy in 1 unit, 100 units or 1000 unit lots to get volume discount. Unfortunately images for the "Packaging" section is not up yet, so if you like you can email through to request for a catalogue. www.scslab.com Hope this helps.

Containers are quite expensive here. You can try: Wainhouse Distributors - http://www.wainhousedist.co.nz/products.html they have a very limited range of jars and bottles. Arthur Holmes - http://www.arthurholmes.co.nz/ good range but pricey. Cospak in East Tamaki have a similar range to Wainhouse but they have a $150 minimum purchase. Permier Plastics have a good range, but if it is not a stock item then you have to purchase in large quantities. I think they have a minimum purchase too, but can't remember what it is! Then there are the ingredient suppliers who have a small selective range: http://www.aromaticsandmore.com/catalog/Containers_and_Packaging-7-1.html http://www.gonative.co.nz/shop/Packaging.html http://www.lotusoils.co.nz/CatalogueRetrieve.aspx?CatalogueID=57553 I'm sure there are more . . . . . If I want anything special or particular I buy from Aussie. Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you further.
