Why Beekeepers Use This Product
Safety shrink bands help customers identify unopened honey containers and add a more professional appearance to packaged honey.
When to use: Apply shrink bands after bottling and capping honey containers.
How It Works
The shrink band fits over the lid and neck area of the container. Heat causes the material to contract tightly around the lid to create a tamper-evident seal.
- Fits standard 89mm lids
- Applies with a standard blow dryer or heat gun
- Creates a visible tamper-evident seal
Apiary Management Notes
- Many beekeepers apply shrink bands immediately after bottling to speed up packaging workflow.
- Moving the heat source evenly around the band helps prevent wrinkles or uneven shrinking.
- Checking lid size before ordering helps avoid fitment problems.
Seasonal Use
- Spring: Used for packaged spring honey sales.
- Summer: Common during peak honey bottling season.
- Fall: Frequently used for farmers markets and holiday honey sales.
What’s Included
- 100 shrink bands
