A pack of 58mm twist off replacement safety button jam jar lids in gold. The vinegar-proof lids are FSA approved, BPA free and suitable for home preserving or commercial use.
These twist lids are vinegar and acidic proof making them suitable for pickling and preserves such as chutney as well as jam, marmalade and relish.

The twist closure creates a vacuum seal which is airtight and liquid tight. Preventing leaks and prolonging shelf life.
An environmentally friendly way to reuse glass jars.
Seals with a 1/4 of a turn.

These lids can be applied by machine but they can also be hand applied. Please follow these care tips for successful application. For more in-depth information please read our blog post on lids.
Check the lid is not cross threaded.
Warmed lids work best, they can be heated to a maximum of 60°C
Apply the cap finger tight and then apply pressure for 1/4 of a turn.
Place the hot jam or produce in the jar, as it cools the contracting air sucks down the 'button' and provided the button stays down, you can be sure the seal is effective.
When filling the jar leave approximately 10mm (5%) space from the rim in order to create the best vacuum and seal.

All of our glass product listings include details of the correct lid size for that jar.
Please measure across the neck of your glass jar to get the correct size. If in doubt read our handy blog article for help or call us on 01477 537224 for friendly help and advice.
Reordered these lids as we’re keen jam makers. Good quality lids and (although not recommended) can be used more than once. Unfortunately used an old order and requested the wrong size. Never mind we still use this size and have ordered the 63mm required! At least postage was free on both orders! Remember to measure your jars carefully (to the outside of the lugs). I wish Wares supplied their bag of mixed size lids postfree too. It might help others from making the same mistake.
Easy to order in line, cheapest ones I could find, process was very quick, order arrived within a few days and cannot fault the quality, excellent service would recommend Wares of Knutsford
