Pop Tops, Drams & Tubes: The Vial Buyer's Guide
"Dram" is an old apothecary volume unit that stuck around in packaging — 1 dram ≈ 3.7ml. So a 13 dram vial holds about 48ml and a 30 dram about 111ml. Here's the full field guide.
The Main Styles
- Pop tops — squeeze the sides, lid pops open. One-handed, satisfying, the retail favorite. We stock 13 dram jars ($9.99/100ct) and 30DR squeeze-below-cap ($15.99/100ct)
- Reversible cap vials — the lid works two ways: one side push-and-turn resistant, flip it for regular use. 15D and 16D trays, $24.99/100ct
- 116mm pop top tubes — the tall skinny format for pre-rolls and slim items. Crystal clear, $79.99 per 1000pc bulk bag (8¢ a tube)
- Side pinch — square 15D jars that open with a side squeeze, $15.99/100ct tray
