Selling Honey by the case?.what are you packing in?

[BurleyBee]

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...

    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!    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.

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?
