50ml Honey Sample Glass Jars with Black & Gold Lids – Tastings & Gifts

50ml Honey Sample Glass Jars – Perfect for Tastings, Gifts & Market Stalls

Every beekeeper reaches the point where there is more honey in the shed than the household will get through in a year. Friends start asking. The neighbour who put up with the bees all summer earns a jar. The school fete wants something for the stall. Handing someone a two kilo tub is awkward, and a full retail jar is more than the moment calls for. These 50ml mini honey jars are exactly the size that fits it.

These small glass jars with lids come in packs of 40, with your choice of black or gold metal lids. The glass is clear, so the honey does the talking, whether that is pale spring honey or something dark like bloodwood. Cheap enough to fill, label and give away without thinking twice, which is the whole point of a honey sample jar.

A taste, not a commitment

Fifty millilitres is enough for someone to have honey on toast a few mornings and decide they like it. That is exactly what you want on a market table or at a tasting. Line up three or four varieties in matching bulk honey jars and people can compare them side by side instead of guessing from the label. For producers, it is a low-cost way to get your honey into someone's hands before they commit to the big jar.

Clear glass and a lid that sets the tone

The jars are clear glass, which keeps the attention on what is inside. The lid is where you choose the mood. The black metal lid looks clean and modern on a stall or a shelf. The gold metal lid runs a little warmer and feels more like a gift, perfect for honey wedding favours, Christmas gifts, or anything tied with a ribbon. Both lids are metal and twist on snug to hold the honey fresh until it is opened.

Small enough to brand and give

At 45mm across and about 55mm tall, there is room on the side for a small label with your name or your apiary on it. A few of them in a gift box, or one tied with a ribbon, turns a jar of honey into a present that looks like you meant it. They are also ideal as honey wedding favours or festive Christmas gifts, and sit neatly in a market display without taking up the room a full jar would.

How much honey does a 50ml glass jar hold?

A 50ml glass jar holds approximately 70 grams of honey by weight. Because honey is denser than water, it weighs more than its volume suggests, so a 50ml jar filled with honey will contain roughly 70 grams, not 50 grams. For Australian beekeepers, this makes it a generous tasting size — enough for several mornings of honey on toast or a few cups of tea.

What size label fits a 50ml honey sample jar?

These 50ml honey jars measure 45mm in diameter and 55.5mm tall, with a flat side panel that comfortably fits a small custom label. A rectangular label of approximately 40mm x 50mm works well for displaying your apiary name, honey variety, and location — whether you are based in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, or anywhere across the country.

Are these jars food-grade and safe for storing Australian honey?

Yes. These jars are made from clear food-grade glass, which is non-reactive and will not affect the flavour, colour, or quality of your honey. Glass is the recommended storage container for Australian honey producers as it contains no BPA or chemicals that can leach into the product, keeping your honey exactly as it came from the hive.

Will honey crystallise in these small glass jars?

Honey may naturally crystallise over time, particularly in cooler Australian climates such as alpine Victoria or Tasmania, and this is completely normal and safe to eat. If crystallisation occurs, simply place the sealed jar in warm water at around 40 degrees Celsius for 10 to 15 minutes and stir gently to return it to liquid. The metal twist lids on these jars create a snug airtight seal that helps slow this process during storage and transport.

How long does honey last when sealed in a 50ml glass jar?

When properly sealed and stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, honey in a sealed glass jar can remain stable for years. Under Australian food labelling regulations, packaged honey is typically given a best-before date of two years, though pure honey that remains sealed and uncontaminated is shelf-stable well beyond this period.

Are these 50ml jars suitable for Australian wedding favours?

These are one of the most popular choices for honey wedding favours across Australia. The compact size, clear glass, and choice of gold or black metal lid make them easy to personalise with a custom label featuring the couple's names and wedding date. A pack of 40 suits smaller ceremonies beautifully, while multiple packs cover larger weddings with ease. The gold lid gives a warm elegant feel perfect for a garden or country wedding, while the black lid suits a modern urban celebration.

Can I use these jars at an Australian farmers market or honey tasting?

These 50ml mini honey jars are a favourite among Australian honey producers at farmers markets, agricultural shows, and apiary open days. Line up several varieties side by side so customers can compare colour and texture before committing to a full jar. The clear glass lets distinctly Australian varieties shine through — from pale yellow wattle honey to the deep amber tones of ironbark, stringybark, or bloodwood — making them a practical and eye-catching display at any market stall.

Do the lids come included and are they airtight?

Yes, each pack of 40 jars includes your choice of black or gold metal twist lids at no extra cost. Both lid options are metal, twist on securely, and create an airtight seal to keep your honey fresh during storage, gifting, and postage across Australia. They are sturdy enough to handle being packed into gift boxes or carried home from a market without any leakage.

Are these jars suitable for sending honey by post across Australia?

Yes, the combination of thick food-grade glass and a secure metal twist lid makes these jars well suited for posting honey to customers across Australia. Their small size and light individual weight means a pack can be divided and sent in standard satchels or gift boxes with minimal padding. Many small-scale Australian honey producers use these 50ml jars specifically for online sample orders before customers purchase larger quantities.

Can these jars be used for products other than honey?

While these jars are designed and sized with honey in mind, they work equally well for other small-batch Australian produce including bush jams, native herb salts, infused oils, beeswax lip balm, and artisan condiments. Their clear glass and premium lid options make them a versatile packaging choice for any Australian producer looking for a polished presentation at markets, gift boxes, or retail displays.
