BizzyBs Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Where I could get large plastic containers to hold single tarts in at craft shows? I would use each container for a different scent and have them all lined up next to each other? I have been searching around for something...but, really haven't found anything that I am looking for.Anyone?? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Do you have any idea what size or shape you want? Are you talking large as in trashcan or giftwrap storage size containers, or are you thinking more like bucket size?Big Lots usually seems to have a wide assortment of affordable plastic products.

cindym Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I love to put them in Jars, I have 26 oz apothecaries that don't sell so if I have a party or my retailers carry tarts I give the the jars to put the tarts in, they have black handled covers. They work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe like a gallon size...or should it be smaller? What do other people sell their single tarts in at craft shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I saw some really pretty extra large apothecary jars at Wal-Mart in the section by the votive cups. However, they were glass. They would make nice displays for single tarts, though. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 How large are you thinking? I'm pretty sure BCN's clear votive display boxes would work for tarts.Or if you're looking for more of a bucket style presentation, why not the large gallon candy jars from walmart? I know I've seen clear round large gift boxes somewhere...I'll dig around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdscreations Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 This is what I use. Hopefully the picture is clear enought. I purchased these from the kitchen section at wally world. They are just large glass cookie jars. Customers can open them and pick out however many tarts they want. DawnEdited to add: Sorry picture is sooooo big.

jdscreations Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 OH...those are cute...how much were they each?The ones with the wooden lids I bought years ago and have yet to see them again. When i searched online at Walmart they have a 3 piece set that you can personalize (that might be interesting), but they were a little expensive. The one with the metal lid, I just bought a couple of months ago at Walmart and I think I paid $3 for it. But I am really liking Deputy's idea.

firstlady Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I like both kind of jars. i have seen them like deputy's at dollar store. my question is...do you shrink wrap the tarts before you put them in jars ? or do you just put them in the 3x3 bags as the customer buys them, i know you can't mix scents. someone on here had their tarts in pickle jars, we don't eat that many pickles , just dh and i.

Sucks but it keeps the jars clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstlady Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks Jd, i hadn't even thought about that but it would be true, because after i make them , i have some large quart jars and large candle jars that i keep mine in till i bag them and the jars does get messed up. i was more concern at the fact it keep you very busy bagging the tarts in individual bags as people bought them, i thinking much easier if they were already shrink wrapped and all scents could go into a large bag.

deputy6512 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I just put the tarts in there unwrapped, then bagged them as they were purchased. It did take some time, but it wasn't too bad I didn't think. The jars didn't get too messed up either. I like them because I store them in the jars at home as well.

7Angela7 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 On the old board, somebody had a display of their tarts and they were using these http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=3&product%5Fid=182Here's anotherhttp://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin68b.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 What do you wrap the tarts in first? Plastic wrap, shrink wrap?? I have yet to find a way that I like. Would be nice to put them in naked but they would smear all over the jars.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
