Use amber PET bottles for tailams and hair oils, wide-mouth PP jars for churnas, small amber or acrylic jars for lepas and balms, and PET tablet jars for vatis and capsules. On our website these start at about ₹13–₹26 per piece at a pack of 100, before GST.

What packaging does each Ayurvedic product need?
Match the pack to the product's form: liquid, powder, paste or solid dose. Each form has different needs for pouring, scooping, sealing and protection from light.
| Product | Recommended pack | Common sizes | Median per piece (pack of 100) | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tailam, hair oil, massage oil | Amber PET bottle with applicator or flip-top cap | 100 ml, 200 ml | ₹12.71 (applicator, 100 ml) | ZMA26 |
| Churna (herbal powder) | Wide-mouth PP jar | 200 gm, 250 gm | ₹25.42 (ZMJ58, 200 gm) · ₹26.40 (ZMJ13, 250 gm) | ZMJ58 |

Which bottles are best for Ayurvedic oils?
Amber PET bottles are a practical default for tailams. Amber reduces light exposure, and PET is light and shatter-resistant for courier delivery.
For scalp oils, an applicator cap such as the ZMA26 amber bottle with black applicator cap (₹12.71 per piece, 100 ml) puts the oil where it is needed. For body and massage oils, a dome or flip-top cap such as the ZMA03 amber bottle with golden dome cap (₹14.16, 100 ml) is easier to pour.

What is the best jar for churna?
A wide-mouth PP jar of 200–250 gm is the most practical choice for churnas. A wide opening makes it easy to scoop powder with a spoon.
The ZMJ58 white PP jar with white cap (200 gm) costs ₹25.42 per piece, and the ZMJ13 Micra jar costs ₹26.40 at 250 gm. ZMJ13 also comes in 500 gm, 600 gm and 1 kg for family packs.
For a premium gift range, the ZMJ24 transparent glass jar with airtight tin cap costs ₹32.67 per piece at 100 gm.
Powders pick up moisture easily, so keep the cap tightly closed and consider adding an inner seal.
Which jars work for lepas and balms?
Small 30–50 gm jars suit lepas, balms and malhams, which are used a little at a time. Amber shan jars look traditional; acrylic and white jars look more modern.
The ZMJ22 amber shan jar with black cap comes in 8 gm to 100 gm, and costs ₹23.10 per piece at 50 gm. Very small sizes (8 gm and 15 gm) work well for trial packs and samples.
If your lepa contains essential oils, test it in the jar for a few weeks before ordering in bulk. More options are in our glass and acrylic jars collection.
What container should you use for Ayurvedic tablets?
Use a PET tablet jar with a screw cap, in 100 cc or 150 cc. The screw cap seals well and the jar is light to ship.
The ZMJ53 amber tablet jar with black screw cap costs ₹16.34 per piece at 100 cc. For a richer look, the ZMJ54 amber tablet jar with gold screw cap costs ₹19.97. White versions are also listed in our tablet containers collection.
Amber helps if your tablets are sensitive to light. Adding a desiccant sachet is a common way to protect tablets from humidity.
How should you pack shilajit?
Use a small 30 gm jar and add a spoon, so customers can take a measured portion of resin.
The ZMJ65 amber shilajit jar with black cap costs ₹25.42 per piece at 30 gm. The ZMPC52 gold shilajit spoon adds ₹10.90 per piece at a pack of 100, or ₹7.43 at a pack of 1,000.
What should Ayurvedic packaging labels include?
Labelling rules for Ayurvedic medicines are set by the Ministry of AYUSH and the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, so check the current requirements with an expert before printing. We do not give regulatory advice.
On the design side, plan your label size around the jar or bottle you choose. We offer custom label design at ₹1,200 per design and editable templates at ₹500 through our labelling and printing services.
How do you keep packaging costs low?
Use one colour family across your range, start with packs of 100, and order samples first. Most jars have a ₹40–₹90 sample pack, and there is no minimum order on the website.
Before ordering caps or pumps separately, check the neck size with our bottle neck sizes guide. For a full launch budget, see the per-piece packaging cost guide.
Frequently asked questions
Which container is best for Ayurvedic churna?
A wide-mouth PP jar of 200–250 gm with a tight screw cap. It is easy to scoop from and light to ship.
Is amber better than clear for Ayurvedic products?
Amber cuts light exposure, which helps oils and light-sensitive tablets. Clear jars show the product but give less light protection.

100 cc and 150 cc are the two sizes listed for our PET tablet jars. Fill a sample with your tablet count to check the fit.
Do you sell spoons for shilajit jars?
Yes. The ZMPC52 gold shilajit spoon is sold in packs of 100 to 1,000.
