Tips on transferring your products into your containers.
Funnels are the cleanest option for filling your containers.
Time and gravity will do most of the work for you for the very thick liquids. If you can prop your jar into the funnel and rest it against something solid to balance it and eventually it will flow out, it may take some time.
Often a spatula can be used for the last bits in the jar.
