Bottles and Jars in this classification refer to containers primarily used for storing liquids, powders, or other substances. They are designed to provide a secure and convenient way to store and transport various materials.

These containers can come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on the specific requirements of the contents they are intended to hold. They may be made of glass, plastic, metal, or other suitable materials.

NATO Supply Class 8125 includes a wide range of bottles and jars, such as:
