Which Honey Jars To Choose: A Guide

Honey has been used for generations as a natural sweetener. Both this treasured ingredient and the hard work of honeybees should be valued and enjoyed. There is no better way to show the dedication and heritage behind honey than with the right jar, choosing your packaging as a honey producer is a crucial step.

Glass jars are the favoured packaging option for several reasons. From safety and preservation to sustainability, visibility and premium positioning. There are many variations of glass jars and glass packaging which honey producers can use to store the gorgeous golden liquid. Let’s explore some.

Classic Jars

Classic glass honey jars offer the perfect blend of practicality and sustainability. They showcase the natural colour and texture of honey, whilst keeping it safe. Classic jars are versatile and applicable to a range of uses from events and gifting to retail displays.

A variety of shapes could be considered ‘classic’.

At Rawlings, one of our bestselling classic jars is our 1lb honey jar. This British-manufactured jar is ideal for a range of producers, offering environmental and operational benefits.

Hexagonal Jars

Hexagonal jars are modern and versatile. They subtly echo the product they hold with their six sided design. Plus, this design makes labelling simple and stacking easier. The extra character and style of hexagonal glass jars makes them perfect for gift packs or boutique collections.

One of our most popular hexagonal jars is our 8oz, which offers an ideal size for honey, effortlessly elevating shelf appeal whilst remaining functional.

At Rawlings, we also offer a range of other sizes from 110ml to 12oz.
