Have you ever been confused about how much liquid a glass container can really hold? If so, you are not alone. With all of the different measuring systems used by glass manufacturers, it can be daunting trying to determine if a 2 drams container holds more or less than a 5 milliliter one. To help out, we have compiled some charts that not only explain the different measuring systems used by glass and plastic container manufacturers, but will hopefully help you be able to determine exactly how much liquid each container will hold.
