This is the lid with a internal seal.   They come indirectly from Gamber container in PA.   http://www.gambercontainer.com/glass.asp (http://www.gambercontainer.com/glass.asp)   They come 24 to a box lids and seal included.  They hold 4oz of honey.   I sell them for 2.50 and the market marks them up to 2.99ea.    I have 1.00ea in container and label so the honey is bringing in 6.00 per #

Not bad.   Looks good.  My quarts are selling like mad right now.   Had to go out last week and buy more jars.  Year before last I could not sell quarts for anything.   Pound squeeze jars were the rage that year.

1lb dripless snap caps are hot for me this season. If I only had 500 more. Can't fill them fast enough.

Are you getting your bottles from Klein?   They will save you money.   You have to buy cases but they are cheap.   I have enough 1# dripless and 12oz bears to last 2 years.  I also bought 10 cases of qts, 10 cases of 5#ers and 4 cases of salt and pepper

No I haven't been, but I will look into those folks. Sounds like you found the outlets you were looking for!
