Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Orchard Pantry, a charming farm shop in Hereford, wanted to upgrade the packaging for their best-selling spiced apple chutney to reflect its premium quality. They switched from standard round jars to the Kilner hexagonal glass storage jar 0.28L for a more distinctive look on their shelves.

"Customers noticed the change immediately. The jars just look so much more special and  authentic. People are even buying them as gifts now, which never happened with the old jars. They feel substantial and  the hexagonal shape really catches the eye."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Orchard Pantry

The shop reported a 20% increase in chutney sales in the first three months and  a noticeable rise in repeat customers for their preserved goods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use & Preparation

  • Always wash and  sterilise jars and  lids thoroughly before their first use.
  • To sterilise, you can boil them in a large pan of water or wash in a hot dishwasher cycle.
  • Before filling, check the inside of the lid to ensure the sealing compound is intact and  flawless.
  • Allow jars to cool slightly before filling with very hot contents to avoid thermal shock.

Keeping It Going

  • The glass jar is fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • To preserve the life and  look of the metal lids, we recommend washing them by hand in warm, soapy water.
  • Dry lids immediately and  thoroughly to prevent any chance of rust.
  • Store empty jars in a clean, dry place, ready for your next batch of delicious preserves.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Preserving Jars

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect jar.

Size and  Capacity

Consider what you're selling. Small 100-300ml jars are great for gifts and  single servings, while larger 1-litre jars are better for pantry staples or catering.

Lid and  Seal Type

Twist-top lids are fantastic for convenience and  a good seal. For long-term canning, traditional clip-top jars with a rubber seal might be more suitable.

Shape and  Style

Round jars are a classic, but shaped jars like this hexagonal one can make your product stand out on a crowded shelf and  improve storage efficiency.

Material Matters

Glass is the gold standard for preserving. It’s non-porous, doesn't stain or hold odours, and  lets customers see the quality of your product inside.

Ease of Use

Check if jars are dishwasher safe for easy sterilisation. A wide mouth also makes them much simpler to fill without mess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do these jars come with the lids?

A: Yes, each Kilner GL872 jar is supplied complete with its own gold-coloured twist-top lid.

Q: Are these jars suitable for hot-filling with jam or chutney?

A: Absolutely. They are designed for preserving and  are perfect for hot-filling, provided they are properly sterilised first.

Q: Can I put the entire jar in the microwave?

A: The glass jar itself is microwave safe, but you must always remove the metal lid before heating.

Q: Is the 280ml capacity measured to the brim?

A: The 280ml is the total volume capacity. For preserving, you'll want to leave a little headspace at the top before sealing.

Q: What is the lid made of?

A: The lid is metal with an integrated plastisol lining, which creates the airtight seal when the jar cools.

Q: Are these jars stackable?

A: While their hexagonal shape allows them to sit flush against one another, they do not have a feature for secure vertical stacking.

Q: Can I use these jars in the freezer?

A: We don't recommend freezing liquids in these jars, as the expansion can cause the glass to crack.

Q: Is the Kilner logo printed on or embossed?

A: The iconic Kilner logo is embossed into the glass itself, giving it a premium, permanent finish.

What Customers Are Saying

"These jars are fantastic! They make our homemade jams look so professional on the shelf. The perfect size and  a really reliable seal."

Chloe B. – The Corner Deli, York

"Really lovely, solid jars. We use them for wedding favours and  they're always a hit. My only tiny niggle is I wish the lids were a bit more robust in the wash."

Mike T. – Events Caterer, Manchester
