8 oz Plastic Classic Honey Jars
These are the most popular plastic honey jars we carry — right behind the honey bear. The 8 oz classic shape follows the same silhouette as our glass classic jars, but in squeezable, shatter-resistant PET plastic. If you've seen honey in a plastic squeeze bottle on a store shelf, this is almost certainly the shape.
Lids are sold separately. The jar uses a 38-400 continuous thread opening — both 38mm flip-top caps and 38mm dripless inverted lids fit this jar. Lids with a pressure-sensitive safety seal press onto the bottle automatically when screwed down.
Key Features
- BPA-free, food-safe PET plastic — squeezable, shatter-resistant, and recyclable
- Super clear — honey color shows well at market or on the shelf
- Tapered edges and oval shape — the classic honey jar profile
- 38-400 continuous thread — fits a wide range of 38mm lids
- Pressure-sensitive safety seal activates automatically when lid is screwed on
- Available by the single, box of 24, case of 550, or full pallet
A Note on Sizing
This jar holds approximately 8 oz by weight (227 grams) — about 2/3 cup of honey. The actual liquid volume is closer to 6 fluid ounces. Honey jars are sized by weight, not volume — the label says 8 oz because that's how much honey fits, not how much water would.
Not Sure How Many Jars You Need?
We built a free honey jar calculator that figures it out for you. Enter how much honey you have, pick your jar sizes, and it gives you a shopping list. It handles multiple jar sizes at once — useful if you're splitting a harvest between different bottle formats.
