radellaf Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Anyone know a supplier for jars and lids that don't have a screw top?90% of what I see uses screw tops, but I just had a potential boutique store manager tell me that when the lid is off that "it looks like someone just made a candle in a baby food jar.". Hmph. I see plenty of straight-top jars, but nothing sold to cover them. Commercially there are really nice lids using a rubber gasket to loosely hold a metal lid on, but this customer said even a lid with no attachment, just a cover that sits there, might be sufficient....should have brought rustic pillars samples instead.

radellaf Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks. They have the 8oz tumbler & jar available in small quantity, a dozen for $37 w/shipping. Look very nice to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 C&S has the metal lids that pop on and off. You can also switch to apothecary jars. Those have more top options and non of them are lugs or screw tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 IMO kind of wasteless to change your containers for one potential customer who may only buy a few cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radellaf Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm short of customers, so may be worth a try, esp if they'll pre order at least enough to cover a test order of jars. I don't mind doing the testing, it's kinda fun, and I have enough palm wax experience I should nail it pretty quick. That said, yeah, you may be right. I just found one other who wants "something country", so jj are worth a try. Also a new size for me but a good one to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bah67 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Candlemakers Store have tumblers, both frosted and non frosted and lids that fit them. And the good thing is you can order as many or as few as you need. I really like the frosted ones!http://www.thecandlemakersstore.com/category/jars.tumblers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radellaf Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I do love frosted tumblers, one of my favorites for my own use. I thought this boutique could really use something new to perk up their selection, which right now is undyed soy only, in a shop full of odd colorful stuff from handcrafted blown glass to unique but mass produced toys and games. Bright colors of palm would do the trick but need clear for that. Honestly tho I'd be surprised if she'd order more than a half dozen at a time.
