Honey Packing Services
Bulk Honey, Own Label, Contract Filling and Order Fulfilment
Honey jarring can be a messy and slow job, especially if you don’t have the correct equipment. We are able to pack any shape or size of container you might want!
We can offer support from initial start up with label regulation guidance and in house label design through to advise on the best honeys for your chosen market and then packing the jar or bottle before fulfilment to retailers or end customers.
We are mid market specialists able to fill up to 8,000 jars per day but with a minimum batch size of just 100 units. The jars can be filled with our own honey, honey that you have sourced or honey that we have sourced specifically on your behalf through our network of beekeepers. We can process all types of Bulk Container from Buckets to 300kg Drums.
We can also help you to source jars and bottles through our glass and plasticware suppliers as well as labels which we can have printed for you.
All honey, both plain and infused go through an exhaustive documentation process from goods in to finished product dispatch ensuring full traceability and quality control throughout. We will collect and keep all information such as the water content of the honey and temperature checks throughout the warming process to ensure they honey has been treated properly. We will also hold checkweight data to prove that your batch matches your label.

Further Information
Date and Batch Coding – We are able to either apply a date/batch label or for larger volumes and those wanting a more professional finish we can use our state of the art inkjet printer to print traceability information direct to glass, plastic or metal containers along our line.
Anti-Tamper – We would recommend the application of a seal either in the form of an anti-tamper label or an induction seal
Lab Testing – If you want to make a claim on the label such as it being monofloral or if you want the honey imported from outside of the UK we are able to facilitate testing with a fully accredited lab to ensure you are compliant with the UK Honey Regulation 2015.
Storage – We are able to hold pallets of raw materials in our warehouse for you as well as finished product in our temperature regulated facility to ensure the finial product stays perfect no matter how long we hold it.
SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) – SALSA is a food safety accreditation often requested by larger chains including supermarkets when vetting smaller regional suppliers. If your honey brand is ready to be approaching these larger chains by using our honey packing service you are able to adhere to the requirements without certification yourselves. We are one of less about 10 approved honey producers in the UK and of those probably less than 2 or 3 are able to offer a packing service.
Infusing and Blending – We are able to produce custom infused honeys anything ranging from Ginger and Lemon all the way through to Chilli. We can blend in small 15kg batches up to larger 800kg batches with full traceability throughout the process.
Order Fulfilment
We are the only honey packers in the UK now offering order fulfilment services on honey held and packed with us. This includes orders to wholesale customers as well as individual retail sales through your ecommerce platform.
How it works:
- We connect your online platform to our order system so that we can download your orders each day
- We pick your items, pack them and apply the postage label
- Your orders are collected and your customers automatically updated
- At the month end we send you an invoice for the items shipped and storage for stock held
Why use us?
Normal warehouses are cold during the winter and staff don’t know how the honey is supposed to look. We can ensure honey that’s granulated (When it isn’t supposed to be) isn’t shipped so your customer gets the perfect jar every time.
Glass is a tricky thing to send in the post and many warehouses underestimate how much packing is required to safely send a jar of honey. We can help reduce your broken jars which saves you money
Wholesale orders and pallet orders can be sent to us directly and we can prepare and ship them within 48 hours or less
Retail orders we aim to dispatch within 1 working day
