The metal caps paired with these mason jars come in two pieces and are available in silver and gold. The first piece is a threaded band that will screw tightly to the 70 mm glass jars. The second piece is the plastisol lid that creates an airtight hermetic seal when properly heated and cooled. The threaded band portion of the caps can easily be used repeatedly, whereas the plastisol lid is a one-use piece.

• 2 cups shredded carrot
• 4 oranges
• 2 lemons

Mason jars are air and water-tight containers, making them suitable for storing foods in both the pantry and fridge. The transparent glass construction allows the contents to be easily viewed without having to open the food jars. Dry erase markers and labels can also be used to mark the canning jar caps or tall glass sides for organization as needed.

Ingredients

• 8-10 okra (about 4 inches long) with the stems removed, per jar
• 3 whole thai peppers, per jar
• 1 medium onion, sliced thin, 2 slices per jar
• 1/2 cup white vinegar, per jar
• 1/2 cup water, per jar
• 1/2 tbsp sea salt, per jar
• 2 tsp Dill Seed
• 2 tsp Dehydrated Minced Garlic
• 1 tsp Dill Weed
• 1 tsp Mustard Seed
• 4 16 oz mason jars with silver metal plastisol lined button caps

Single piece metal plastisol lined lids are another option for topping mason jars. We offer this type of metal cap in silver, gold, black, white, and red. After proper heating and cooling techniques have been performed to create a hermetic seal, the button in the middle of the caps will depress, indicating the jar has been sealed. After opening, the button will pop back up, showing that the tamper evident seal has been broken. We also offer an unlined version of these metal closures in a rustic bronze color.

Packaging Tip

There are many ways to bring food product packaging to the next level. One example is tamper evident packaging. When packaging food products, offering a layer of tamper evidence in the form of shrink bands, induction liners, or plastisol lined caps can provide a higher level of security and comfort for customers. It’s also important to make FDA approved packaging choices for food product lines. FDA approved packaging often gives customers peace of mind when purchasing, which could elevate you above competitors. Incorporating convenient dispensing caps is another excellent way to win customers over. If you are packaging salad dressing, cooking sauces, marinades, honey, and more, dispensing caps allow customers to pour products with ease. Finally, after choosing the container that best showcases your product, create an eye-catching custom label to elevate your food packaging to a professional level. Custom labeling is an easy way to display your ingredients, food allergy warnings, nutritional facts, and more while blending in your company logo and branding for the greatest design impact.
