‘A’ is for aniseed, ‘B’ is for bay leaves, ‘C’ is for cayenne pepper and ‘D’ is for dill weed. There are twenty-six letters in the alphabet and enough spices to represent each one a few times over. No personal or commercial kitchen is complete without an assorted allotment of food flavorings; or in other words, a hefty spice shelf. Adorn your cookery with spice jars containing the diverse flavors of life.

The Spice Jars
Spice jars are the ideal container to harness the aromatic oomph and delectable taste of beloved food seasonings. Browse our collection of spice jars, available in clear PET and PVC and natural PP resins. Crafted to package seasonings for a variety of uses, be it samples, small use or extended use quantities, we carry standard spice jars from 1 oz to 22 oz capacities. We're sure to have the shape and size for your needs.

Non-traditionally shaped, clear spice jars can also come in handy when storing flavored items in an intact condition (mustard seed, nutmeg) versus the crushed or powdered form customary for spices (curry, cinnamon). Click through our circular thick wall spice jar options, ranging in size from a one-time-use 1/8 oz. serving to a more expanded 2 oz. body.

The Closures
Spice jar closures are nearly as important as the spice jar itself. With so many customizable possibilities to choose from the perfect pairing is essential to attaining a seamless spice jar performance.

  1. The spice lid, a simple spice jar standard, is the first option. This lid has a closed top that only allows product to be dispensed if removed. Spice sifters, natural colored inserts furnished with small holes, are typically paired with liner-less spice lids. This feature provides a barrier against the container orifice, resulting in a sprinkling affect, as the spice jar is shaken over food (as opposed to accidentally pouring a waterfall of seasonings into a mixture without the aid of a sifter).
  2. Twist lids are the style of closures seen on bottles and jars. Similar to a spice lid, it can be twisted on and off, but rocks a flatter and wider appearance. These closures are stocked in white and black options (depending on size) and are usually matched with a F217 or PS liner (learn more about these liners in a past post).
  3. Sifter lids are the final spice jar closure option. Advanced-looking and functioning, the sifter is the Lamborghini of spice jar lids. Purchasable in red and black varieties, these lids are equipped with two retractable entry doors. One side is open, offering lofty access to the product with a spoon or an undisturbed flow of distribution. The other portal promotes the sifter method of dispersal. Heat induction seal (HIS) liners compliment this style of closure (find out how HIS liners work), providing a level of tamper evidence, protecting your product until it reaches the spice rack of its intended user.

Spice jars are useful containers, outfitted to specifically store food seasonings ranging in flavors and origins from cumin to oregano. Check out our selection of spice jars and start packaging your favorite blend today!
