Case Study: How a Honey Jar Exporter Reduced Shipping Damage for Canada Brands

Client Background

The Canadian honey brand which experiences rapid growth required an honey jar exporter who could provide honey jars for its nationwide distribution and e-commerce expansion. The company needed durable honey jars which would protect their sticky products during extended shipping distances while preserving their premium product presentation. The customized design was a 375ml hexagonal glass honey jar with thick walls, a reinforced base, and a 63mm twist-off finish paired with a metal lid. The brand selected Yeboda because our export packaging expertise combined with our stable glass quality enabled us to develop safe shipping solutions for their jar design.

Challenge

High Breakage During Transit

The client faced frequent breakage during truck and warehouse transfers, especially when pallets were stacked or exposed to vibration.

Carton Compression Issues

Standard packaging cartons lacked sufficient strength, leading to deformation under load and increased risk of jar collision.

Cause Analysis

Our engineering team conducted transport simulations and product inspections, identifying key issues:

• Uneven wall thickness in the jar body reduced impact resistance at critical stress points.
• The packaging structure did not provide adequate cushioning or vertical support for stacked pallets.

Solution

Reinforced Glass Structure

As an experienced honey jar exporter, we optimized glass distribution by increasing thickness at the base and edges while maintaining overall jar clarity and design.

Upgraded Export Packaging

We redesigned carton materials using stronger corrugated layers and introduced custom-fit dividers to minimize movement and absorb shocks.

Transport Validation Testing

Drop tests, compression tests, and vibration simulations were conducted to ensure jars could withstand real shipping conditions.
