- Pro: The airtight seal is genuinely effective, preserving the texture and taste of baked goods.
- Con: It's quite heavy when full, so best placed where you won't need to move it often.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in Bakewell, wanted a more attractive way to display their famous homemade shortbread right on the counter, replacing their old plastic containers.
"It’s amazing what a difference a good jar makes. Customers can see the shortbread now, and they just fly off the counter. The seal keeps them perfectly crisp all day, which has cut down on our waste too."
David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle
Since switching to the Olympia jars, The Copper Kettle has seen a 30% increase in add-on sales of their shortbread at the till.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, always wash the jar and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water or run it through your glasswasher.
- Check that the rubber seal is seated correctly on the lid to ensure it's fully airtight.
- Place on a stable, level surface where it is easily accessible but safe from being knocked over.
- Fill with your chosen dry goods, ensuring you don't overfill past the neck for an effective seal.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is fully commercial glasswasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- Wipe the rubber seal with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage it.
- Periodically check the rubber seal for any signs of cracking or perishing and replace if necessary to maintain freshness.
- Handle with care – while it's made of durable commercial glass, it can still break if dropped.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just a Lid: How an Airtight Seal Protects Your Profits
We all know that air is the enemy of anything crisp and crunchy. But what does an 'airtight rubber seal' actually do for your business? Think of it like a vacuum-sealed bag for your bakes, but far more stylish. When you push the lid down, the flexible rubber gasket presses firmly against the glass rim, forcing air out and creating a barrier that stops moisture and oxygen from getting in.
This simple mechanism is the difference between a customer enjoying a perfectly crisp biscuit and a disappointing soft one. For you, it means your delicious products stay at their best for much longer, dramatically reducing spoilage and waste. It’s a small detail that protects your reputation for quality and saves you money every single day.
