Perth honey storage plastics?
« on: April 20, 2022, 02:57:36 am »
Hi
Based in Perth, WA, any recommendations on suppliers of plastic containers for honey- been using recycled glass jars but quantities required and supplies of these getting a bit unmanageable.

There is a company " people in Plastic" which I think is national.
Don't use plastic.

We have been selling honey for 46 years and always used Glass.

Why put a quality product in a second rate container?

Hi mate, I have purchased 1kg plastic containers from Plasdene in Canningvale. They have a minimum order quantity which I?m still working through. They had a nice showroom which was helpful when choosing containers.

Thanks, would say my preference is to generally use glass where I can- any suppliers in Perth? Will look into plastic supplier recommendations as well.

Plasdene has an office in Perth - 1800783222
I have been dealing with them for a long time in Brisbane.
I buy jars by the pallet to bring ther cost down

I also use recycled jars, and I have a lot of regular customers that bring back the jar, and also bring back more of their own glass jars. I pretty much have an endless supply of jars. More than I need for the four to five hives or so I usually manage.
