blazerina Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 This is a very good question!!!!!!!Is there a particular reason 'why' you have always used the double wall jars, Crafty?I've always wondered this myself. I don't often see single wall jars, but the double walls aren't always that expensive anyways. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 i have always used the double wall jars because they are much thicker than the single wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 i have always used the double wall jars because they are much thicker than the single wall.Well....duh! (Sorry...couldn't resist )I think what they want to know, and I do to, is why? What is the benefit of a double walled jar? Does it provide needed protection from heat/cold? Is it needed to keep out light? Does it provide more of an oxygen barrier? What is the reason......or is it just an aesthetic appeal? That double walled jars give the illusion of being larger than they really are, or that it just happens to be that the jar style you like is double walled?

kidsngarden Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 The reason I am asking is that I would like to use amber colored jars which are single walled. Just wondering if it will make a difference is all.What stinks is you can't get a amber colored 2 oz jar! smallest I've found is 4 oz.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I use double wall jars because I like the look.Aside from that, double wall jars do have a small advantage for insulation in heat or cold. Also, the jar is larger, giving the illusion that there is more product. More for your money, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I use double wall jars for my body butter. While it does not help a lot, it does help complete melting of the product in excessive heat. I have actually had customers comment on this when their items were received in the mail. The product still does soften in the summer no matter WHAT you put it in. But when I am shipping to the southwest in hot weather, the double wall jar does help a little bit. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 There are more designs to choose from for the single wall jars. But the double wall jars are nice in that the extra wall helps to provide additional insulation, just like the others said. It's not a whole lot of insulation, but it's better than nothing. Of course, if there's a single wall design you like, I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks for the input. I actually just bought the cobalt jars as I can find them in all the sizes I want.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I like the old fashioned look of the cobalt jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
