Pallet of 910 Hexagonal Glass Jars 720 ml TO82

01 · THE PALLET ARITHMETIC

880 kilos of honey bottled

The 720 ml hexagonal takes around 970 g of honey — honey weighs 1.4 kg per litre, so 720 ml leaves exactly the neck space. Across 910 jars the pallet bottles on the order of 880 kg.

And the glass weighs its share: each jar is 360 g, which is over 325 kg in jars alone, before cartons and pallet. This is not unloaded by hand — you need a pallet truck or a forklift at the delivery point.

02 · TO82 IS NOT TO80

Check what your capper can reach

The mouth is Twist Off 82 mm and the lids go separately. Order them at the same time: a pallet waiting for lids takes a metre and a half of warehouse and bottles nothing.

And here is what catches people out: there are bench cappers that stop at 80 mm and cannot reach TO82. If you close by machine, check the maximum lid size on yours before committing to this format.

03 · WHAT THE HEXAGON IS FOR

Shelf presence, not capacity

The hexagonal shape recalls the comb without the label having to say so, and on a shelf it stands out from a round jar at a distance. That is why it gets chosen: differentiation on the shelf.

The 82 mm wide mouth is functional too: it fills faster, scrapes out better and takes creamed or crystallised honey that gives trouble in a narrow neck. It works equally for pollen, jams and preserves.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

These are 910 jars of a single format: it only pays with a dry store, a way to unload and a market for that volume.
