Ball Regular-Mouth Mason Jar Canning Lids — 192 Single-Use Sealing Discs (16 Dozen), US-Made, Fits Standard Jars

These Ball regular-mouth canning lids give you a reliable, ready-to-use sealing surface for preserving jams, pickles, sauces and other home-canned goods. Sold as a bulk pack of 16 dozen (192) lids, they are manufactured in the USA and intended for one-time use with standard regular-mouth Mason jars. This bulk quantity is ideal for seasonal canning, small-batch food entrepreneurs, and anyone who prefers to keep a steady supply of fresh sealing discs on hand.

What exactly are these lids and how are they used?

These are flat, two-piece canning lids (the sealing discs) made to sit on regular-mouth Mason jar rims and form a vacuum seal after processing. You use them once per jar; after heat processing and cooling, the lids lock in place to preserve contents. Rings or bands are not included with this offer, so you'll need separate bands or recycled ones from previous canning.

• Fits standard regular-mouth Ball and Mason jars
• Single-use sealing discs only; not reusable
• Work with water-bath and pressure canning methods
• Sold as 16 dozen — 192 lids total

How do I prepare and apply these lids for a safe seal?

Start with clean, hot jars and freshly heated lids. Center a warmed lid on the jar rim, then secure a band snugly but not overly tight before processing. As the jar cools after processing, the lid will concave and you should hear or see a pop indicating a vacuum seal.

• Warm lids in hot (not boiling) water before use
• Apply with clean jar rims and properly filled jars
• Tighten bands fingertip-tight only during processing
• Check seals after cooling; lids should not flex up and down

What size jars and recipes are compatible with these regular-mouth lids?

Regular-mouth lids fit jars with a narrower opening, typically 2.75 inches (70 mm) wide. They work well for most jams, jellies, sauces, salsas, pickles and similar items where a standard mason jar is appropriate. For wide-mouth jars, choose a wide-mouth lid variant instead.

• Designed for regular-mouth (standard) Ball/Mason jars
• Great for jams, jellies, sauces, condiments and pickles
• Not compatible with wide-mouth openings
• Use with appropriate canning recipes and procedures

Are these lids reusable or eco-friendly options available?

These Ball lids are intended for one-time use to ensure reliable seals and food safety; they should be discarded if the seal fails or after opening. If you want reusable alternatives, consider silicone sealing systems or glass jars with reusable caps sold separately. Recycle lids according to local metal recycling guidelines when possible.

• Single-use discs for dependable vacuum seals
• Reusable alternatives exist but are sold separately
• Recycle metal lids where local programs accept them
• Keep spare bands on hand—bands not included in this pack

Who is this for?

Remember to pair these lids with compatible bands and follow validated canning guidelines for safe preservation.
