Making a Business Out of Glass Bottles and Jars
Thanks to social media sites like Pinterest and e-commerce websites like Etsy, which is focused on handmade items and art and craft supplies, there has never been a better time to consider making a business out of glass bottles and jars.
More and more savvy entrepreneurs are finding creative ways to start businesses and make additional income using their creativity and DIY capabilities in conjunction with glass bottles and jars and their seemingly endless uses. From homemade pasta sauces to beautiful artwork made out of repurposed glass bottles and jars, the possibilities can stretch as far as your imagination will take you.
Whether you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to turn your grandmother’s secret salad dressing recipe into a worldwide sensation or have turned your Pinterest obsession for planning events into a real life business filled with gorgeous Mason jar centerpieces, having a great source for packaging can mean all the difference to your success.
Other popular businesses that are popping up using glass bottles and jars include companies that repurpose wine bottles into candle surrounds or holders, drinking glasses, planters and vases, and others that use glass bottles and jars in the food and cosmetic industries.

How to Choose the Right Glass Bottles and Jars
Here are a few considerations to make before choosing the right glass bottles and jars for your business:
Consider the color of your glass bottles and jars; you don’t have to stick with the traditional clear or flint style. Our most popular colored glass pieces are amber and cobalt. Amber is widely used in the brewing business, while cobalt is a big hit with those who make essential oils and fragrances.
Always keep the size of your glass bottles and jars in mind. You’ll want to make sure you’ve double checked your measurements and that you comply with the capacity and overflow capacity measurements listed for the bottle or jar you select. Our team of professionals can assist you with this step and in understanding these measurements.
You’ll also want to think about the shape of your glass bottles and jars. While this is mostly associated with the overall look and feel of the finished product, depending on your use, shape may play a larger role.
The neck opening is also vitally important to the usability of your product. Be sure to double and triple check that your product can easily be put in and taken out of the container. Again, our team can assist you with these measurements if needed.
These are just a few of the considerations you should make in order to select the glass bottles and jars that are best suited for your application.
