The Plastic Honey Jar 250ml is a food-grade PET packaging container used by commercial and smallholder honey producers in Kenya to pack and sell honey in the most popular retail size. The 250ml jar is the standard consumer-facing unit across Kenyan markets, supermarkets, and agro-vet retail channels ā it is affordable for end consumers, easy to handle and display, and cost-effective for producers to fill and label.
What Is the Plastic Honey Jar 250ml?
The 250ml plastic honey jar is a transparent, lightweight food-grade PET container designed specifically for honey packaging. PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate) is the standard food-contact material for honey jars ā it is non-reactive with honey, does not leach into the product, and resists the acidic pH of honey without degradation. The transparent body allows consumers to see the honey colour and clarity, which is a key purchase signal for raw and premium honey products in Kenya. Plastic jars are preferred over glass for market and roadside stalls due to their shatter resistance and lower weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many plastic honey jars do I need per kilogram of honey?
Honey density is approximately 1.4g/ml, meaning 250ml holds approximately 350g of honey (0.35kg). Per kilogram of honey, you need approximately 3 Ć 250ml jars. For a 50kg honey harvest, you would need approximately 143 jars at the 250ml size.
Plastic or glass honey jars ā which is better for selling honey in Kenya?
Plastic jars are preferred for market stalls, roadside sales, and transport due to their shatter resistance and lower weight. Glass jars are preferred for premium positioning, export, and gift-market products where the premium presentation justifies the higher container cost. Urban Beekeepers stocks both options.
