How to Buy Canning Jars in Bulk
According to Cape Bottle Company, production of bulk wholesale and mass quantities of packaging supplies was generally not open to small buyers of canning and bottle supplies. (“Small buyers” are defined as customers looking for less than a pallet or about 10,000 pieces.) It was not until 1995 that some bottle and supply producers began catering to the “mini-market” (small businesses and individuals).

Function

Canning jars range in size from small vials (less than 2 ounces) to larger-sized pickling and food jars (16 ounces or larger). Lids and containers can be purchased individually or as a unit. They are used to can sauces, fruit, vegetables, salsas, preserves, jellies and jams. Smaller glass vials are typically used for perfume samples and other uses.
Considerations
-
You can buy bulk quantities of canning jars in different sizes and colors, including clear, blue, amber, frosted and green glass. Most people who use canning jars for food preservation use clear glass.
