750ml / 1kg Round Plastic Honey Jars with Tamper-Evident Lid

The Classic 1kg Honey Jar, Ready for Market Day

The round 1kg jar is the workhorse of Australian honey sales. It's the size customers at markets reach for without thinking, big enough to feel like proper value and small enough to finish before the next visit. This is that jar: clear PET, 750ml capacity holding a full kilogram of honey, with a wide 70mm twist neck and a yellow food-grade lid.

Clear PET does the selling for you. Honey is one of the few products where the contents are the label, and a clean transparent jar shows off the colour, whether pale yellow box honey or dark ironbark. The 70mm opening fills quickly under a honey gate without dribbling down the thread, and lets customers get a spoon all the way to the bottom.

Tamper-Evident, and Why That Matters

The lid seals tamper-evident, no longer optional if you sell to the public. Market organisers and retail stockists increasingly expect it, and customers trust a jar they can see hasn't been opened. Once the seal breaks on first opening, the lid still twists down for a firm reseal at home.

Plastic Versus Glass, Honestly

Plastic isn't the premium look of glass, and it won't suit every brand. What it gives you instead is weight and nerve. A crate of 80 PET jars is light enough to carry to a market stall in one trip, nothing shatters in transit or in a customer's shopping bag, and postage on a filled jar costs far less than the glass equivalent. For online orders especially, PET removes the biggest headache of shipping honey. One limitation: these jars have no UV protection, so store filled jars out of direct sunlight.

Sizing Note

The 750ml capacity and 1kg label are the same jar. Honey is denser than water, at roughly 1.4kg per litre, so 750ml of volume holds 1000 grams of honey with the usual headspace. If calculating jars per harvest, work off the honey weight.

Does 750ml really hold 1kg of honey?

Yes, honey weighs about 1.4 times as much as water, so 750ml of jar volume takes a full 1000 grams of honey with normal headspace under the lid.

Are these jars food grade?

Yes, both the jar and the lid are food-grade PET, made for direct contact with honey and other foods.

How does the tamper-evident lid work?

The lid twists on over a security band that breaks visibly the first time the jar is opened, so buyers can see if a jar is untouched.

Can I hot-fill these jars?

Fill at normal extraction temperatures, not hot. Let warmed honey cool to lukewarm before filling, since PET softens with heat.

Will honey candy in these jars, and can I fix it?

All raw honey eventually candies. To re-liquefy, stand the jar in warm water rather than high heat, which can deform PET and damage the honey.

Are they reusable and recyclable?

The jars wash and reuse well for home storage, though the tamper band only works once. PET is widely recyclable in Australian kerbside collection.

What labels fit this jar?

The round body takes standard wrap-around or front-and-back labels. Measure the straight side wall before ordering, since the shoulder curve can crease a label that's too tall.
