Cut Comb Packaging

[CountryBee]

Hi all

Am thinking abut honey packaging, just in case I have sufficient honey in due course! Have ordered jars and lids, but fancy trying to get some cut comb also and don't like the traditional "softer" type plastic packaging that seems readily available.

Anyone know where I can get hold of the cut comb boxes that have a hard white plastic bottom and a clear top - where you put tape around the middle of them to secure them shut - like the ones used by Hilltop honey (other suppliers available!) for example. Can't seem to find them anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Email Hilltop and ask where they get theirs from?
You could be cheeky and ask them to sell you some

Honey with comb is sold in Dubai as high end expensive product. Its packed in stainless steel boxes with glass (acrylic) lid
Expensive packaging but its selling very well

Supposed to be Yemeni Mountain Honey

Or you can get these from USA.

I bought some a few years ago.

The honey looked so good but again very expensive by the time you pay shipping and import taxes.

Thanks all for the helpful replies.

Have tried emailing HillTop but no joy so far.

Looked at USA suppliers, but as you say cost makes them prohibitive I think.

Will try Measom and see what their costs are like.

The Yemen honey looks fab.

And not keen on Masie's box, but could use if other avenues fail.

Thanks all once again - this should be the easier part of beekeeping shouldn't it!

Maisies are the standard cut comb soft plastic with clear lids...you might try putting them in a nice cardboard container like these and then they really look nice and professional.
Throens do a crystal clear harder plastic container. I like them but they are slightly bigger than the standard ones and using a cut comb cutter gives chunks that are smaller than the container so it looks mean.
