When to use: Use these lids anytime you are filling and sealing compatible 48mm CT jars.
How It Works
A continuous thread lid twists onto matching jar threads to create a reusable screw-top closure.
- Built-in plastisol liner helps create a tight seal against the jar rim
- Metal construction provides a durable threaded closure
- Gold finish gives jars a clean, finished appearance

- Always match the lid size exactly to the jar finish size.
- Keeping extra replacement lids on hand helps during honey bottling season.
Seasonal Use

- Summer: Frequently used during honey extraction and bottling season.
