I've just started taking off my honeycomb - I use those simple white Thorne's containers to sell it in. Does anyone know what the price for honeycomb is this year?
The cheapskate takeaway boxes or the new upmarket HC boxes with rounded corners? Northumberland Honey know how to reach peak price by packaging in tins.simple white Thorne's containers
No-one but you can set the price, and don't be led by those who sell cheap; it's a niche product and people will pay properly for it. Given that material prices have risen sharply in the last year, try adding 20% to the price you charged last time. Where does that get you? £12/227g?anyone know what the price for honeycomb is this year?
Thanks for advice on price.
It's those thin white rectangular plastic containers with slightly rounded corners and the clear pop on tops. Trying to keep the proportion of plastic down. Any other product I'd fancy up but honeycomb? Speaks for itself.
Yes, and as those polycarbonate boxes are strong, customers can re-use them for all sorts of jobs forever more.keep the proportion of plastic down

Add to the label a nudge to re-use the container.end up on an Indonesian river bank
yeah - that really worksAdd to the label a nudge to re-use the container.
One local beek used to sell loose honey at his door into customers own containers. Mostly people brought washed jam jars I understand. Maybe there's mileage in that idea now jar prices have risen? Easy enough to sit a jam jar on small scales I think and it recycles the containers.yeah - that really works

This autumn I'm going to try and sell set ivy like that; would go well with a strong cheese.harder soft-set honey sold in squares like butter
Eric...I'll buy some. Would it survive in the post do you think?This autumn I'm going to try and sell set ivy like that; would go well with a strong cheese.
It sets like concrete, so it should be fine; I'll send you some of it works out. Had quite a few ivy Ross Rounds last autumn, but they weren't filled enough for sale, so I'll put them back on today for finishing on the ling.Eric...I'll buy some. Would it survive in the post do you think?
I would add a clothes peg for the customers nose to the pack as well ...This autumn I'm going to try and sell set ivy like that; would go well with a strong cheese.
Back to the same issue: the HC box is also recylable & reusable, and comb honey types want it unadorned.recyclable /reusable container.
