A cosmetic jar container configured with a collar insert to help distribute loose powder product on an applicator. An illustrative cosmetic jar includes a cap, ajar having a reservoir and a neck, and a collar secured to the neck of the jar. The collar includes a manipulation surface inside the neck for use in distributing a powder product on an applicator and/or removing excess product from the applicator.

A modular packaging container system includes a cover having a hinge portion connected between a top portion and a base portion along first and second fold lines, respectively, the base portion further including a support portion connected to an easel portion by a third fold line. The support portion includes first and second magnets embedded therein, each adapted to detachably attach at least one receptacle tray to the support portion, wherein the first magnet is disposed between the second magnet and an edge of the support portion opposite the third fold line.

Embodiments described herein relate to a jar and lid combination with a jar body and a threadably-attachable jar lid, where the jar lid has a translucent window. Certain embodiments provide a structure for the windowed jar lid and jar body, so that the jar can contain fine powder without leakage, and without the need for a separate sealing layer adhered to the rim of the jar prior to securing the lid to the jar. Other embodiments relate to structures and methods for use by which a logo can be printed on the jar lid window, and then mechanically secured to the jar body, such that the logo is correctly aligned with the printed information on the front of the jar.
