Does your local association operate a trading scheme for members? These often work out cheaper because they buy in bulk

I've always used them, because jars and lids, come together on a pallet.

I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives, but I'm happy.

Best prices are usually from the Association (with them having obtained a bulk discount and delivery, but starting from the "show/convention offer" pricing).


For hex jars, Pattesons (not PatteRsons) Glass often have 'special offers'. Notably their pricing does straightforwardly include vat & delivery.

Again, C. Wynne Jones, near Ruthin, an easy run from Scholar Green which (I've just learned) is near Stoke on Trent.

Pattesons

I've used Pattesons; service is prompt and efficient and jars are well packaged.

Following the same theme - where is the best place for labels?
