Looking for a simple, versatile container for bottling liquids, creams, oils, or even food products? Chances are you’ve come across the ubiquitous Boston Round Bottle. Offered in a wide array of sizes, finishes, and styles, these bottles are far more than just an elegant packaging solution. They are the ideal tool for many makers, entrepreneurs, hobbyists and more.
Why the Boston Round Bottle?
Boston Rounds are identified by their cylindrical shape, rounded shoulders, narrow neck, and a continuous-thread or dropper closure. Here at Burch Bottle, you’ll find them in everything from ½-oz to 32-oz.
These glass bottles are popular for several reasons. The rounded shoulders and narrow neck allow for smoother pouring and less waste, while the wide cylindrical shape makes for easier labeling and handling. The glass material gives chemical stability, which is perfect for storing oils, tinctures, food-grade products, and more.
Boston Round bottles are available in different colors, such as clear and amber, which opens up protective features (like blocking UV) plus aesthetic appeal. With such a versatile shape and material, it should be no surprise that Boston Rounds are used in many industries!
A Jar for Every Use
Essential oils, tinctures & aromatherapy
For bottling essential oils, herbal extracts, or aromatherapy blends, a Boston Round is an excellent choice. The narrow neck is good for dropper or pipette closures, and if you pick an amber version, the bottle offers UV-light protection, helping to preserve light-sensitive compounds.
Cosmetics, personal care & body products
These bottles are ideal for lotions, serums, toners, shampoos, conditioner formulas, and more.
For example, consider using a Boston Round bottle with a pump or a fine-mist sprayer for the best product application!
Food & beverage packaging
Boston Rounds aren’t just limited to health and beauty products. They are also an excellent choice for sauces, dressings, syrups, and beverages! Try them for your specialty syrups or extracts, hot sauces, salad dressings, and cocktail mixers.
Pharmaceuticals, lab & chemical uses
Because Boston rounds were historically used for pharmaceuticals and chemicals, because of their shape and durability, they remain common in those fields as well. For running a lab or offering chemical reagents, glass is a stable bottling material and the narrow neck makes dispensing safer.
DIY & hobbyist uses
Burch doesn’t require a minimum order quantity. We are happy to provide our glass in as small or as large a volume as you need! Use Boston Rounds for smaller-scale, creative uses, like homemade perfumes or colognes, sample kits, travel-size products, herbal tinctures, vinegar infusions, or crafting and gifting.
With a large range of sizes, Boston Rounds can be purchased to fit almost any packaging requirement! Pick from clear and amber glass based upon the look and UV sensitivity of your product.
Whether you’re packaging luxury skincare, crafting artisanal sauces, bottling tinctures for wellness, or running a small-batch lab, a glass Boston Round bottle is more than just any bottle. This glass container bridges functional performance and aesthetic appeal across a wide range of applications.
