Bottles, jars and jugs, typically constructed from plastic or glass, are used for the transportation, storage and general handling of liquids and solids. Bottles, jars and jugs come in a variety of capacities, materials, shapes and mouth sizes. Plastic-coated bottles, jars and jugs provide excellent protection in the event of the container breaking, allowing their contents to be safely removed and disposed of, while amber glass bottles, jars and jugs are recommended for work with light-sensitive materials. Plastic bottles, jars and jugs are highly impact resistant and lightweight, while clear glass allows for maximum visibility.
