These shrink bands help show customers that the honey container has remained sealed after packaging.
Quick Answer
These 70G shrink bands fit over capped honey jars and shrink tightly into place when heat is applied with a heat gun or hair dryer.
Beekeepers commonly use shrink bands to create a tamper-evident seal on bottled honey sold at farmers markets, retail stores, roadside stands, and local pickup locations.

Why Beekeepers Use This Product
Safety shrink bands help customers see that a honey jar has not been opened after it was filled and capped.
Many beekeepers use shrink bands to improve presentation and provide additional confidence when selling bottled honey.
When to use: Apply shrink bands after the honey jar is filled, capped, and cleaned.
How It Works
The shrink band slides over the lid and upper neck of the jar. Heat causes the band to tighten securely around the container.
- Fits 70G or 70 mm lids
- Works with a standard heat gun or hair dryer
- Creates a visible tamper-evident seal
Apiary Management Notes
- Apply shrink bands only after the lid is fully tightened.
- Clean and dry jars before shrinking the band for best appearance.
- Even heat application helps prevent wrinkles or loose spots.
Seasonal Use
- Spring: Useful for packaging early-season honey sales.
- Summer: Commonly used during peak honey extraction and bottling season.
- Fall: Frequently used for holiday honey packaging and market preparation.
What’s Included
- 100 safety shrink bands

Comparison
