I?m sure I?ll start getting into this this spring if the weather cooperates. The only option I?ve run across so far is a box from Betterbee for 1.25 a box. What do y?all use when selling cases? Surely there?s some cheaper options. I currently only fill 16oz squeeze bottles.
Burley Im not sure I am understanding you. Is this a case sized box? How many honey bears will this box hold?

I sell cases in glass, quarts and pints for liquid honey, large mouth quarts and pints for chunk honey.
There is one customer that wants 200 - 2 pound squeeze bottles.
I personally like glass myself.

Something like this to sell a case of 12 16oz bottles in.

The words on the box makes it nice Burley. Good find!

I packed very little honey in any kind of plastic.. I would do it if I went to a Country fair to sell... I did use classic honey jars to bottle my honey... I believe at added more value...
BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :smile:
This looks like a good option for you.. Especially if you have a market to sell your honey..

Burleybee,
I think you can find cheaper packing boxes than that.
Google "cardboard boxes" and you will find online vendors like uline.com or packagingsupplies.com. They are a lot cheaper and offer a variety of sizes. Even if it is not an exact fit for your squeeze bottles, I imagine you can do much better with it than some of the packaging I have received from Amazon.

Good thought, Bob.

Do NOT get me started on Amazon's packaging jobs! :angry: My sister and I have a theory that Amazon deliberately ruins 1 out of every 100 packages to try to induce regular customers to get Prime. :wink:
If you are just needing a box to hold your plastic bottles, the post office has flat rate boxes that they give away for free.
Here is a little plastic pouch container for selling honey. The .74 oz. package at $2 each makes honey worth $345.95 a gallon. Are you beeks making that much?
