you don't need any/all of the statutory information on that size jars font size is up to you as well

 

[wightbees]

That is fantastic news . Many thanks for the info

You can get the statutory information on a circular label on the lid ...easier on the eye than a label on the side of the jar and you see more of the honey...

 

[wightbees]

Is there a link to statutory info that anyone knows of for this size jar ?

just look at the honey labelling regulations, I think it specifically exempts jars of that size

Is that what I would call breakfast pots?? If so do you need any hex ones?? Had some as a bulk buy but never used them

 

[wightbees]

Milkermel
PM me with what you have exactly and what you have in mind cost wise please

Will have a look cheers

Just another thought before I go ahead with this . What is it like filling these tiny jars with out a filling machine?
I don’t want to end up in a right mess

I just fill them from a bog standard honey gate valve, just trickle the honey out, when the pot is full, put it down on the worksurface below the tap then move a new jar over in between drips.

I fill them from a jug ... line them up and just go along the line - if you are careful the drip goes into the next jar in the line.

 

[wightbees]

Sounds like I’m ready to go then. Or was I trying to find a excuse for a filling machine

Freeman Harding Honey Labelling in the UK have this information
3. The minimum height of figures on the label must be as follows: <50g - 2mm; 50-200g - 3mm; 200g-1kg - 4mm; >1kg - 6mm
There is other stuff about labelling there as well

Yes, for normal size jars - these rules do not apply to 1.5 oz jars

For filling those small jars Thornes did sell a pump dispenser that sat in a 30lb bucket lid similar to hand soap dispenser. Google it not sure there still available.

Something like this Araven CR821 GN 1/9 Size Sauce Dispenser, 1.5L Capacity, 190mm x 176mm x 108mm, Clear : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science

Now that’s a interesting idea

There is no minimum size for 25g or less, but there is for 25-50g. 1.5 oz pots are 43g, so need to have 2mm high weight label

I just did a load of 28g for 1 customer but I normally sell 1.5oz 42g .Had labels from Thornes but bought really nice labels from Laurence of West Coast Labels
