My recommendation on small glass jars

Small glass jars aren't chosen just by capacity; they're chosen by the use they'll have. They're very useful formats for wedding favours, events, samples, tastings, gourmet packs, gift sets, jams, honey, creams, sauces, spices or premium products. In these sizes, the packaging weighs heavily on the perception of the product: a well-chosen small jar can make a sample look like a thoughtful gift, while a badly chosen one can convey exactly the opposite. For honey, for example, they're ideal for trying varieties, making monofloral packs or preparing personalized gifts without forcing the customer to buy a large format.

My advice is to look beyond the millilitres. Before buying, I'd check the real capacity, type of mouth, compatible lid, usable area for the label, ease of filling, closure, table presentation and packaging for transport. In small formats, the cost per unit matters, but the handling time also matters a lot: filling, closing, cleaning, labelling and preparing many small jars takes more work than bottling a few large ones. And here I'll take a clear stand: for weddings or favours, I wouldn't choose the cheapest jar if the label then looks bad, the lid doesn't match or the set doesn't convey value. With a small product, every detail shows more. If it's for food, I'd always use new, food-grade lids; and if you're going to make preserves or hot processes, I'd check that the jar-lid set is suitable for that use. A small jar doesn't sell quantity: it sells presentation, trial and memory.

Small glass jars with lids | Samples and gifts

Small glass jars

Only small formats here: from 33 ml (the ounce jar) to 390 ml. This is what gets used for samples, tastings, wedding favours and gift sets. For medium and large capacities see the full range of jars with lids, the large jars and buying by pallet.

The finish code rules over everything else

TO followed by a number is the mouth diameter in millimetres. In this category they run from TO43 to TO89. The lid has to match that number exactly: there is no tolerance and no "almost fits".

And there is a trap that costs money: "DTO" or "deep" does not cross over with the standard finish of the same diameter. A DTO-58 jar will not take a TO58 lid, even though the 58 is the same. Ordering jars and lids with different finishes is the expensive mistake in this family, and it is avoided by reading the code before looking at the photo. Lids are sold separately, in lids and closures.

Millilitres are not grams

Honey weighs around 1.4 times its volume, so a 250 ml jar is sold as 350 g of honey and a 212 ml one comes to about 300 g. That is why the names mix the two units, and why, if you are going to label, the number that matters is the net weight and not the capacity of the glass.

Sold by the pack, not by the unit

Packs run from 10 to 40 units depending on the format: 40 for the 33 and 41 ml ounce jars, 30 for those between 80 and 288 ml, 25 for most and 10 for the premium ones. The price on each product page is for the complete pack. Check whether the lid is included: some formats come with it and others need it ordered separately.

Which format for what

  • 33 and 41 ml (ounce, TO43) — samples and wedding favours. The smallest we do.
  • 80 to 140 ml (deep DTO-58, orcio TO53, 4 oz TO66) — tastings and sampler sets.
  • 106 to 212 ml (amphora, hexagonal, orcio) — the range where shape matters as much as capacity; hexagonal and amphora are used for premium lines.
  • 250 to 390 ml (B250, Aura deep TO70, hexagonal 390, 370 tub) — gifts and direct sales. The 250 ml is the classic 350 g jar.
  • 285 ml bear — novelty shape, for shop display and children's gifts.
