Syrup Containers ????

[Chickenman]

I have ordered my Jugs and glass from Bascom's in the past and most likely will continue to, but has anyone ordered from Gamber Container? How's their pricing? Do they deal with split case numbers? I'm all set for this year but may need more in the future.

I buy all my Glass from Burch Bottle. I buy several cases at a time, I do not know if they will split a case.
My last order was for 24 cases (24 ea) of 200 ml hip flask and 8 cases (12 ea.) of 375 hip flask for by bourbon barrel aged syrup.
I've gotten 3 shipments from them since seeing them at Saratoga Springs summer maple tour this past summer. With each, they pack 4 cases in a master carton well separated using packing peanuts. On my first shipment the master cases looked like an ape had handled them at UPS, but inside the master cases every case of bottles looked perfect and there was no damage at all.
Their prices are good.

thank you for that Dave.

Maple Flats what caps do you use from Burch to seal your glass bottles? I have ordered some samples from them to see how the glass and caps work out.

I agree Bacon jugs are the best but I think they were bought out buy some one so hopefully the don't change any thing also use canning jars for glass sense you can buy them for 9.99 for 12 jars

Maybe I should answer here too and not just in messaging. I bought Burch's black cap, in a 3000 or maybe it was a 4000 cap box. It is a tamper evident cap and it's the one they suggested. I do not recall the specifics but it was their lowest cost black one that fit that description.

Well we order some glass bottles from Burch Bottle today with caps. also ordered some other sample bottles from also. Hopefully they will be good.

I know a couple of Missouri producers and we bottle in all kinds of things. Would probably make you pros in New England chuckle. I use canning jars and put our label on the lid. (we don't sell it, just gift it) One family saves everybody's Snapple jars, runs them and the caps through the dishwasher. They sell quite a bit. And there are some producers with over 500 taps in southeast MO who use the attractive commercial syrup bottles.

Maple flats what is the Saratoga springs summer maple tour. I am in Saratoga and have never heard of this?

Shipping cost for glass can be quite high. If your local hardware store sells regular mason jars, they can order you some of the smooth sided one (better for labels).
