My recommendation on glass jars for honey

The honey jar isn't just a container: it's part of how the customer perceives your product. A good honey in a badly chosen jar loses presence, labels worse and can give you closure, transport or bottling problems. For honey, I wouldn't look only at the millilitres; I'd first look at what weight you want to sell, what image you want to project and what lid that jar needs. A plain format is very practical if you want a clean, professional label; a jar with a honeycomb pattern quickly communicates a beekeeping product; an orcio, hexagonal or gourmet format can help differentiate a special honey; and small formats work very well for tastings, variety sets or gifts.

My advice is to choose the jar thinking about the whole process: filling, closure, labelling, packaging and sale. Honey is sold by weight, not by volume, so it's worth checking the real capacity of the container carefully and testing with your honey, because not all have the same fluidity nor are bottled the same when warm, cold or close to crystallizing. Before buying, I'd check a compatible Twist-Off mouth, a new food-grade lid, usable label area, jar stability, glass strength, ease of cleaning and box format. And here I'll take a clear stand: I wouldn't reuse lids to sell honey, even if they “look good”. A cheap lid that seals badly, gets marked, rusts or gives a bad image can ruin an excellent product for you. The right jar doesn't improve the honey, but it does help sell it better, preserve it well and convey more trust from the first glance.

The conversion that catches everyone out

Honey weighs about 1.4 times its volume. That is why a 500 ml jar sells as 700 g and a 720 ml jar as 1 kg. It is the reason the names in this category mix millilitres and kilos with no apparent logic: some go by glass capacity, others by the weight of honey packed. Decide the selling weight first, then convert.

The neck code overrides everything else

TO plus a number is the neck diameter in millimetres: TO43, TO48, TO53, TO58, TO63, TO66, TO70, TO77, TO82, TO89, TO100, TO110. The lid must match exactly; there is no tolerance. Where DTO or "Deep" appears it is a tall neck with a deeper skirt, and it does not cross over with the standard one of the same diameter.

To save you opening datasheets, this is how the necks fall by range: plain V370, V580 and V720 in TO77 and the N720 Normalisse in TO82 · honeycomb in TO66, TO77 and TO82 · Aura in TO63, TO70 and TO82 Deep · Orcio in TO53, TO63 and TO82 · hexagonal in TO53, TO63, TO70 and TO82 · Apiari in TO63 and TO82 Deep · Diamond® in TO43 and TO48 · tubs in TO82, TO89 and TO100 · ounce and tasting sizes in TO43 and TO66 · gallons in TO77 and TO110.

Pack or pallet: where the jump is

Packs run from 5 to 40 units depending on reference, and pallets from 936 to 4,116. If you pack a whole season, it is worth looking at the pallet for the format you already use rather than stacking up packs: the unit price is not comparable. The formats available by the pallet are the fastest movers - V720, V370, Aura 250 and 370, Apiari 1 kg, B212, 12REF, 1 kg and 1/2 kg honeycomb, and V580.

If you pack for sale, labelling follows Regulation EU 1169/2011 and the Honey Directive: product name, origin, net weight, batch and packer. Honey labels has formats by jar size; Lids and closures has lids by neck code.
