Background
One of the honey jar dealers based in the UAE reached Yeboda to seek assistance after experiencing constant complaints regarding the thickness of the glass and the lack of clarity on their custom made honey jars. Such were the problems with the appearance of the product, the store image, and longevity of the product, which complicated the ability of the dealer to match the expectations of the higher markets.

Challenges
Uneven Glass Thickness
The jars were of uneven wall thickness, and the thinner parts easily broken, and the thicker ones made heavier and more expensive. This discrepancy led to variations in quality between batches also.
Loss of Glass Transparency
Hazy Glass and flow lines were some of the impurities in the raw materials and the uncontrolled temperature in the manufacturing process which made the honey jars less attractive to the viewer.

Yeboda Solutions
