4 oz Muth Honey Jars – Case of 36 with Cork and Shrink Bands
The traditional 4 oz Muth honey jar in a case of 36 — square flint glass, embossed front, natural cork stoppers, and clear heat shrink bands for tamper-evident finishing. The 4 oz size is the gift-set, sampler, and wedding-favor workhorse: small enough to give one away, big enough to feel substantial.
Features
- 36 jars per case (largest case-count in the Muth lineup)
- 36 natural cork stoppers — sized to fit, easy to remove
- 36 clear heat shrink bands for tamper-evident sealing
- Embossed "Four Ounces Pure Honey" with beehive/skep motif on the front panel
- Square shape with three smooth sides for adhesive labels
- Clear flint glass — shows off honey color and clarity
- Holds 4 oz of honey by weight
How it works in real life
The 4 oz Muth jar is what most beekeepers reach for when they need a lot of small portions: honey sampler flights at a market booth, wedding favors, holiday gift sets, bridesmaid gifts, infused-honey variety packs. A case of 36 covers a wedding or a craft fair without a second order. Fill, cork, band, label — that's the bottling line in four steps. Most packagers go through corks and bands faster than jars (corks get sticky, bands are single-use), so the 250-pack band refills are worth knowing about if you bottle in volume.
Before you order
The 4 oz refers to honey weight, not fluid ounces. Honey is denser than water, so a "4 oz" Muth jar holds 4 oz of honey by weight (slightly less than 4 fl oz of volume). This matches the embossed "Four Ounces Pure Honey" on the jar front. If you also bottle in 8 oz or 1 lb Muth sizes, each size needs its own matching corks and shrink bands — they don't interchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 4 oz a fluid ounce measurement or weight?
Weight. Honey is sold and measured by weight in the U.S., and Muth jars follow that convention. A "4 oz Muth jar" holds 4 oz of honey by weight — confirmed by the embossing on the jar itself.
How many jars come in a case?
36 jars, 36 corks, and 36 shrink bands per case. Same case-count for the 4 oz size only — the 8 oz and 1 lb sizes ship 12 to a case.
Can I label these jars?
Yes. The square shape gives you three smooth sides for adhesive labels. The embossed front panel is the traditional "this is honey" face; most packagers label one of the smooth side panels with their farm/brand info.
Will the corks and bands from a 4 oz case fit my 8 oz Muth jars?
No. Each Muth jar size has its own cork and its own band — they don't interchange.
How many uses do I get out of one 250-pack of shrink bands?
About 7 cases worth of jars (250 ÷ 36 ≈ 6.9 cases).
