Mulepacker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Howdy all~ I currently am using 16oz wide mouth mason jars for my candles. I am looking for the best place to get these wholesale ( I live in AZ) and am also looking for Black lids. Any suggestions. I have checked many sites but I am sure there are many I don't know about as I am just getting started. Thank you so much in advance for ideas.

TallTayl Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Welcome! have you tried Fillmore container? Others i use, that might have the styles you want but I have not checked to be certain: specialty bottle sks bottle container and packaging supply eap innovations you can google for the exact web site. Other similar suppliers will come up in the google query. I'm on my way to feed animals now but wanted to reply before I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think the best buy is to get them from your grocery store. Just about every grocery store carries them. Also stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar has them too. Ace Hardware has them....Walmart has them. And the best part is "no shipping". I won't order them from any supplier because of them being a lot cheaper and especially no shipping. For lids I think Fillmore has a very limited supply but I don't think they have them in the black. Now I believe Candle Soylutions has the black old timey lids but they aren't cheap. But I did see that Factory Direct Craft carries the black large mouth lids and they are 1.99 (EACH)....not cheap.

pcbrook Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There were so many times I wanted to start testing with those jars but then I would see the price of the lids and backed out. If I was a mega producer and could afford a pallet then I might be able to get them for much cheaper. But I think they would make great candles.

Trappeur Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Those lids are beautiful but you can't put them on a canning jar. trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldunleav Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I have looked high and low for wide mouth Mason Jar lids because I think those jars are super cute!!. The only place I have found them is Factory Direct Craft like Trappeur mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulepacker Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thank you all so much for the input! So bummed that the dang black lids are so expensive as I love the look but not sure people will pay the extra. I have tried painting the lids with many types of paint with no luck as it scratches right off and looks terrible...will keep working on it and if I come up with a solution, will share :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yep, I've gone the painting route,,,,,and doesn't work. Even 2 coats of sealer applied over the black paint they do CHIP CHIP CHIP... tRAPPEUR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
