Learn all about honey packaging and products with this informative guide.
With more than 2.68 million honey producing colonies in the United States alone, there is quite a bit of honey to be packaged, both for personal use and retail. The foundation of effective honey packaging starts with storing honey in a clean, airtight, wide-topped food grade container.
From there, honey bottled for retail markets requires attractive packaging that reflects your brand in a way consumers can easily identify your unique honey products—whether by locality or floral source. While an original logo and label communicates your brand ultimately, selecting the ideal container for your honey is the first step in packaging your honey to perfection.
When deciding between glass & plastic packaging, we discovered in a recent blog on the matter that there really is no contest. For high end luxury honey products, creating an expensive glass container to reflect your brand is a possibility. For those wishing to package their honey beautifully, while keeping costs manageable, there are a myriad of glass bottle and jar designs perfect for achieving this.
To that end, we are excited to introduce you to our Glassnow honey packaging collection. We have developed a full range of glass honey pots, jars and bottles in a variety of classic shapes and sizes. Our corresponding accessories and closures, including wooden spoons and cork, wood and metal lids add the finishing touch.
Below we’ve curated several of our glass honey containers, in classic and new styles, to give you an idea of the packaging possibilities. Any of the quintessential honey jars and bottles from our collection can be taken to the next level and made to reflect your brand uniquely through a custom label design.
