8oz Muth Honey Jars – Case of 12 with Cork & Shrink Bands
The traditional 8 oz Muth honey jar in a case of 12 — square flint glass, embossed beehive/skep motif, natural cork stoppers, and clear heat shrink bands. The 8 oz size is the boutique-retail standard: more substantial than a sampler, less commitment than a full pound. Holds half a pound of honey by weight.
Features
- 12 jars per case
- 12 natural cork stoppers — sized to fit, easy to remove
- 12 clear heat shrink bands for tamper-evident sealing
- Embossed "Eight Ounces Pure Honey" with beehive/skep motif on the front panel
- Square shape with smooth sides for adhesive labels (label panel height: 2.75")
- Clear flint glass — shows off honey color and clarity
- Holds 8 oz of honey by weight (half a pound)
How it works in real life
The 8 oz Muth is the most flexible size in the lineup — big enough to feel like a real jar of honey, small enough to price under the impulse-buy ceiling at a craft fair or roadside stand. Beekeepers running monthly honey subscription boxes default to this size for the same reason: enough honey to last a household a few weeks, light enough to ship affordably. Fill, cork, band, label — the same four-step bottling routine as the other sizes. Most production packagers go through corks and bands faster than jars, so the 250-pack band refills are the standard restock.
Before you order
The 8 oz refers to honey weight, not fluid ounces. An 8 oz Muth jar holds 8 oz of honey by weight (half a pound) — slightly less than 8 fl oz of volume. The 8 oz cork and 8 oz shrink band are sized specifically for this jar — they will not fit the 4 oz or 1 lb Muth sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 8 oz the fluid volume or the honey weight?
Honey weight. An 8 oz Muth jar holds 8 oz of honey by weight (half a pound) — slightly less in fluid volume. Standard for U.S. honey packaging.
What's the difference between the 8 oz and the 1 lb Muth jar?
The 1 lb holds twice the honey by weight and uses a wider-mouth cork and band. The 8 oz is a popular boutique and subscription-box size; the 1 lb is the market-standard full pound.
Can I sell honey in these for a farmers market?
Yes. Square sides accept your labels, and the cork-and-shrink-band finish is tamper-evident — which most markets require or strongly prefer.
Will the 8 oz corks fit my 4 oz or 1 lb Muth jars?
No. Each Muth size has its own cork and its own band.
Are the corks reusable?
Yes if they're in good shape. The shrink bands are one-time-use — once heat-shrunk, they tear off and get discarded.
