UK EPR fees for glass now depend on your recyclability rating, not just weight: £185 per tonne if green, £205 if amber, £245 if red. Here's how that works out per bottle or jar, and what PackUK's incoming RAM 2027 update means for your packaging.
Everything you need to choose the right glass candle jar — size, wax compatibility, jar styles, and wholesale buying tips. A complete guide from Jars and Bottles.
For shelf-stable chutney, the lid you choose determines whether you have a verified vacuum seal, visible tamper evidence, and the documentation your retailer or auditor expects. This guide covers the three main closure types and how to choose between them.

The best glass jar for small batch chutney in the UK is a 200g jar with a 63mm twist-off lid, available from single cases with no minimum order commitment. For farmers market and farm shop producers making under 5,000 jars per year, the 200g format gives the right price point for direct sales, while hexagonal and shaped profiles give better shelf presence than standard round jars without requiring high minimum quantities. This guide covers sizes, shapes, lid options, labelling, storage, and the volume threshold at which pallet ordering starts to make financial sense.
