- Free sample program: your first three samples are free; you only pay a low shipping fee.
- Packaging consultant support: talk with a specialist to match materials, neck finishes, closures, and labels to your product.
- Transparent online pricing: see live inventory and tiered pricing without waiting for quotes.
What We Stock
We carry a broad selection of glass jars and bottles, PET and HDPE containers, closures and dispensers (sprayers, droppers, pumps), and food and cosmetic-safe packaging compatible with common standards like 28/410 and 24/410 neck finishes. Whether you’re validating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or preparing for seasonal demand, you can buy small quantities to test, then scale once the design is proven.
Cash Flow First: Why No-MOQ Matters
For early-stage brands, total cost of ownership (TCO) beats unit price. Buying a smaller quantity at a slightly higher unit price can reduce inventory carry costs, cut waste from mis-specified packaging, and improve your agility. Fillmore Container’s short lead time and small-batch flexibility lower the risk of overbuying.
- Order-to-ship speed reduces safety stock needs and frees working capital.
- Small test runs let you compare packaging performance and customer response quickly.
- Avoid hidden costs: excess inventory, product rework, and delayed launches.
Sample, Test, Iterate
Use the free sample program to confirm fit, feel, and compatibility (e.g., closure torque, viscosity handling, and label adhesion). Then place small test orders across two or three candidate SKUs. Collect feedback in a week, iterate your label or cap style, and lock in your hero format before scaling up. This approach reduces misfires and accelerates product-market fit.
Not Our Product Lines: Electrical Mule Tape & Locknetics
We’re a packaging supplier, so we don’t stock electrical mule tape (used for pulling conductors through conduit) and we don’t offer a Locknetics catalog (access control hardware). If your project involves electrical installation or door hardware, look to specialized electrical or security distributors. For packaging, labeling, and closures, Fillmore Container Company has you covered.
FAQ
Can I use electrical tape instead of plumbers tape?
Short answer: no. Plumber’s tape (PTFE/Teflon thread seal tape) is engineered to seal threaded pipe joints against leaks, pressure, and temperature variations. Electrical tape is designed to insulate electrical conductors—not to seal fluids—and it lacks the chemical resistance, pressure rating, and temperature performance required for plumbing. Using electrical tape on pipe threads is likely to result in leaks or failures. Instead, use PTFE thread seal tape or a compatible pipe joint compound (pipe dope) per manufacturer guidelines.
Does Fillmore Container carry electrical tape?
No. We focus on packaging supplies: bottles, jars, closures, and compatible accessories. For electrical tape, consult an electrical supply distributor.
Do you provide catalogs like the Locknetics catalog?
No. Locknetics is associated with access control and door hardware; that’s outside our packaging scope. Our website provides real-time inventory and pricing for packaging SKUs.
