Preserving Jars

Food Preserving Jars are durable glass containers designed for safe canning, bottling and dry food storage in busy commercial kitchens and food businesses. This range covers clip-top, screw-top and swing-top jars and bottles in a wide choice of capacities, from spice jars to large biscotti and bulk storage jars. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, delis and hotels, they help you organise ingredients, protect food quality and present homemade preserves attractively. Strong construction and reliable seals support hygiene, reduce waste and extend shelf life for your preserved products.

• Clip-top preserving jars with airtight seals for pickles, chutneys and fermented vegetables.
• Screw-top preserve jars in multiple sizes, ideal for jams, sauces and relishes in prep or retail display.
• Swing-top bottles for cordials, dressings and infused oils, combining secure closure with stylish presentation.
• Compact spice and shaker jars for herbs, rubs and seasonings on the line or at the pass.
• Larger storage jars for biscotti, biscuits and dry goods, perfect for countertop display or back-of-house organisation.
• Spare rubber seals and accessories to maintain airtight performance and extend jar lifespan.

How to choose the right Food Preserving Jars

• Match jar capacity to your batch size, from small 70ml spice jars up to 1.5L containers for bulk preserves or biscuits.
• Choose the closure type to suit the product: clip-top for airtight long-term storage, screw-top for everyday use, and swing-top for drinks and pourable sauces.
• Consider where the jars will be used, whether back-of-house storage, front-of-house display or retail-style presentation.
• Check jar shape and footprint to maximise shelf and counter space in fridges, dry stores or display units.
• Look for robust commercial-grade glass that can handle frequent handling and regular washing in a busy hospitality environment.
• Plan for labelling and portion control so contents, dates and allergens are clearly visible for your team.

Care and maintenance

• Wash jars thoroughly before first use and after each service, following manufacturer guidance on dishwasher compatibility.
• Inspect rubber seals, clips and lids regularly and replace worn parts to maintain an airtight, hygienic seal.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving hot jars straight into cold water, to reduce the risk of glass breakage.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to keep glass clear and free from scratches that can harbour bacteria.
• Allow jars and lids to dry completely before filling or storing to prevent moisture build-up and mould.
• Store empty jars with lids loosely fitted to protect seals and keep them ready for the next preserving run.
