How it works in real life
The 2.5 lb square is the jar to reach for when your honey is thick, crystallized, or whipped — the wide mouth lets a spoon get in cleanly without dragging honey down the sides. It's also the easiest jar in our line to label: flat sides, 3.25 inches of label panel height, and 14 inches of circumference give you usable real estate front, back, and around. Plenty of beekeepers also reach for these as gift containers — fill with baking mixes, bath salts, granola, or other pantry goods and they look as good as they pour.
Before you order
Each jar holds 2.5 lb of honey by weight, which is about 30 fl oz volume. The 89-400 neck finish is a standard size, so if you ever need replacement or upgraded lids beyond what ships in the case, any 89-400 lid from any supplier will fit. Lids included with the case are sufficient for normal use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a wide-mouth jar for honey?
The wide mouth makes a real difference if your honey is thick, crystallized, or whipped — a tablespoon can reach in cleanly without sliding honey down the outside of the jar. It also makes filling faster for production bottling and easier for the end customer to use the last bit of honey. For thin, liquid honey at peak flow temperatures, the wide mouth is more about convenience than necessity.
What does "89-400 neck finish" mean?
89-400 is a standard lid thread specification used across the food packaging industry. The first number (89) is the diameter of the jar opening in millimeters; the second (400) describes the thread style. The benefit for you: if you ever need replacement lids, or want fancier finishes than the standard cap, any 89-400 lid from any supplier will fit.
Can these jars be used for anything besides honey?
Yes — many of our customers buy these for double duty. The wide mouth and label-friendly square shape make them great containers for baking mixes, bath salts, granola, herbs and spices, candy, and other pantry goods you'd give as gifts or sell at markets. The 30 fl oz volume is generous enough for full retail packaging.
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
The glass jars are dishwasher safe. The metal lids are best hand-washed to keep the finish in good shape. For commercial reuse, most food regulations require new jars per batch, but for personal home use, washing and reusing is perfectly fine.
How big is the label panel?
The flat label panel on each side is 3.25 inches tall, and the jar's full circumference is 14 inches — so you have substantial wraparound space for a custom label. Most label-printing services have a Queenline square jar template available if you ask.
