The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) glass jar in Saskatchewan. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.\n\n**Fee by run size for the glass jar in Saskatchewan, in CAD**\n\n| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |\n| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |\n| 100 | 20.1 kg | CA$6.18 | CA$6.73 |\n| 500 | 100.5 kg | CA$30.88 | CA$33.67 |\n| 1,000 | 201 kg | CA$61.76 | CA$67.34 |\n| 5,000 | 1,005 kg | CA$308.80 | CA$336.70 |\n| 10,000 | 2,010 kg | CA$617.60 | CA$673.40 |\n| 50,000 | 10,050 kg | CA$3,088.00 | CA$3,367.00 |\n| 100,000 | 20,100 kg | CA$6,176.00 | CA$6,734.00 |\n| 500,000 | 100,500 kg | CA$30,880.00 | CA$33,670.00 |\n| 1,000,000 | 201,000 kg | CA$61,760.00 | CA$67,340.00 |\n\nSaskatchewan: a single glass jar is estimated at CA$0.0618 to CA$0.0673 in packaging fees.\n\nSaskatchewan: across all its components, a glass jar is priced at CA$0.3073 to CA$0.335 per kilogram of packaging.\n\nTaken as a whole, the pack is priced at CA$0.3073 to CA$0.335 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.\n\nFlat fee bands, registration fees and minimum charges sit outside this per-kilogram table."

A lighter jar for the same volume lowers the fee more than any change to the lid or label.\n\nThe metal lid and the paper label are small in mass, but they are priced as steel and paper, which can cost more or less per kilogram than glass.\n\nWhere a programme publishes a separate rate for coloured glass or for refillable glass, the colour and the reuse model of the jar can change the line it falls under.\n\nFood and cosmetics sellers often change jar size by a few grams between suppliers, which is why the size table above shows each size on its own."

Registration fees, flat fee bands, eco-modulation and thresholds sit outside the per-kilogram figure. Instica prepares the data; you check, sign and submit it, and Instica never stores regulator login details."
