A jar is a jar. It’s whats inside that matters. A pretty label will sell it
I get mine from c Wynne Jones

We use Spinks Compak. But they don't come with lids already on you need to buy those separate.

They are quite expensive. Compaq do same sized 12 oz hex jars at £17 for case of 84...Jones are nearly 23 quid....and lids are more expensive 7p each on a 1000 order....compaq are 4.5p /lid.
Thye do have a minimum order of over £100's worth of jars....plus delivery (or pick up from their Leeds depot). Or order a lot more and get free delivery.

So may not be everyone's choice because of the amounts.
You can however get them at a slightly lower price and smaller amounts by visiting Claro Bees in Harrogate where they stock them-£22.50 per case but they discount you 10% if you purchase a full case. For a supposed non profit making organisation they seem to have quite a mark up.

The £22.50 is the discount price for a box of 84. That works out at 27p a jar. The lids come in 100s, at £6, or 6p a lid.

I ordered 330 12oz hex jars and lids from CWynne Jones yesterday it cost me just shy of £153 the delivery however was extortionate at around £25..

Not sure how you manged to do that as their main Leeds based company web site hasn't any prices listed. You need to call
0113 235 0662 and ask for Emma to get a quote from them. Old fashioned firm that takes cheques or cash on delivery.

If you collect from them its a minimum spend of £150....if you want free delivery its a minimum spend of £300. As I said it won't suit everyone because of the minimum quantities but these are the best prices we can find.

PS You get a 10% discount by quoting them your BBKA membership number.
