Safe canning jars
What jars are safe to use for canning? It’s best to stick with glass mason jars that are designed to withstand heat and pressure during processing.
Considerations when selecting a jar size
Sometimes it comes down to your own household size and needs when it comes to selecting a jar size.
Canning Jar Size Chart
There are so many sizes and types of canning jars available, it’s enough to make your head spin! We obviously couldn’t include every type of jar on the market, but we’ve focused on some of the main ones. (We’ve excluded any decorative or specialty jars.)
A word on lids and screw bands
Did you know that canning jar lids are only meant for one-time use? This is because they may not provide a proper seal the second time around. Luckily, you can buy a large pack of lids at a reasonable price.
The takeaway
If you’re new to canning, the wide selection and options of jars and sizes can be overwhelming. We’ve made a handy canning jar size chart that explores all the different jars available and what they’re best suited for (like jams, jellies, fruits, salsas or vegetables). Happy canning!

CANNING LABEL SIZES
We often get asked what label size will fit a certain ounce canning jar. If you're adding the label to your lid, you need to know the lid size and not the jar volume. Mason canning jars have either regular mouth or wide mouth lids. Please refer to the chart below to determine what label size you need for your lids.
OVAL & HEART LABEL SIZES
In addition to the standard round labels, we also have oval and heart shaped labels in several sizes. Large ovals are great for custom honey labels. Hearts are beautiful for weddings and showers.
RECTANGLE LABEL SIZES
Rectangle labels fit on mason jars, wine bottles, or candles. These larger labels can accommodate more text, so they work well for cottage food industry labels.
CLOTH COVER SIZES
Our fabric cloth toppers are pre-cut to 6" circles since that works on most canning jar sizes. The 6" cloth covers fit on regular mouth or wide mouth jars. About half of the fabric will show around the edges of a wide mouth jar compared to a regular mouth jar. Please refer to the chart below showing how jam jar covers look on various sized jars.
