Sticky Fingers Got You Down: Learn How to Measure Honey

Did you ever wonder why you have to learn all of those useless measurements in school? Who cares? I guess a rough assimilation with units of measurement can be helpful when making decisions about product packaging. But no matter how much you know, occasionally you find yourself in a sticky situation, as is the case when packaging honey. Keep reading to learn the basics of packaging honey.

Let me use an example of one of our honey bottles. On the item page for B326C the container's capacity is described as 8 oz but holds 12 oz of honey. Does this make sense to you? Yeah, didn't think so. Let's look a little deeper into the practices associated with measuring honey.

If you want to understand how to correctly measure honey the first thing you need to do is brush up on your knowledge of ounces. You need to be aware of two types of ounces, fluid ounces (FL. OZ.) and net weight ounces (NET WT. OZ.). The example above of B326 can be explained through understanding the significance of each of these measurements. The honey bottle is listed as 8 oz, the fluid ounce estimation. The side note that it holds 12 oz of honey is an entirely different measurement, presented in net weight ounces, which is the measuring standard for honey products.

Fluid ounces are the standard unit of measure most people are familiar with. This measurement surveys the liquid volume capacity of containers, typically seen for products like, cans of soda or small perfume bottles. Net weight ounces measure the mass or weight of a product, not a judgment of volume in any way. Honey and other cooking products are measured by this standard.

I'm sure that this concept is as clear to you as your windshield when driving through dirt and mud during a rainstorm, and by saying that I mean, not clear. The ounces information will help you out in the long run but this next point is all you really need to know. B326C's volume capacity is 8 FL. OZ, which is equal to 12 NET WT. OZ. There is no special formula to determine a fluid ounce to net weight ounce conversion, so don't waste your time looking for it. Just remember that fluid ounces refers to the volume the container can contain, the net weight ounce refers to the weight and approved measuring tactic of the honey industry.

Honey bears are the perfect solution to a honey packaging fiasco. They are classic containers and now that you know all about their measuring system, they would make a great addition to any honey line. The bears come in two sizes, 8 FL. OZ./12 NET WT. OZ and 5 FL. OZ./8 NET WT. OZ. You can choose between resins as well, PET or more squeezable LDPE.

We also carry a variety of different honey bottles if the recognizable honey bear isn't what you're looking for. Our inventory includes wide mouth beehive style containers and more simple dairy style containers. The sizes range from 24 NET WT. OZ. to 54 NET. WT. OZ. All containers are natural, making it easy to monitor product levels.

Things can get messy when you are dealing with honey, but now you have a solution. Check out our honey bottles, conveniently listed with both fluid ounce and net weight ounce measurements and see if we have what you're looking for. We hope you're shopping experience is as sweet as your product.
