  • Best Feature: The seal is impressively strong, significantly reducing spoilage of dry and  wet goods.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rutland Pantry, a popular farm shop in Oakham, was looking to move away from plastic containers for their range of homemade preserves and  dry goods. They wanted a solution that improved shelf-life and  better reflected their brand’s commitment to quality and  tradition.

"These jars have been brilliant. They look the part on our shelves and  the airtight seal keeps our chutneys and  jams tasting just-made for so much longer. Our customers have definitely noticed the difference in presentation."

David Chen – Proprietor

Since switching to the Olympia jars, The Rutland Pantry has reported a noticeable increase in the sale of their own-brand preserves and  a reduction in dry goods spoilage.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the jar and  seal a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before the first use.
  • Make sure the rubber ring is properly seated in the groove on the lid, with no twists or kinks.
  • Before filling, give the clip a quick open and  close to ensure it provides firm, even pressure.
  • Check the glass for any chips or cracks that could have occurred in transit.

Keeping It Going

  • To keep the seal in top condition, we recommend hand washing both the jar and  the lid.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers on the glass or metal clip to prevent scratching.
  • When storing the jars empty, it's a good idea to leave them unclipped to stop the rubber seal from being permanently compressed.
  • Periodically inspect the rubber seal for any signs of cracking or perishing and  replace if necessary.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glass Preserve Jar

Not sure what to look for in a storage jar? Here’s a quick rundown to help you choose the best option for your business.

Seal the Deal

The most important feature for freshness is the seal. A clip-top mechanism with a rubber gasket, like on the Olympia P491 preserve jar, provides a far more reliable airtight seal than a standard screw-top.

Size Matters

Think about what you'll be storing. A 750ml jar is incredibly versatile for things like jams or a standard bag of coffee beans, but you might need larger for flour or smaller for spices. Plan ahead!

Clarity is Key

Always opt for clear glass. It allows staff to identify contents instantly, which speeds up service and  makes stock-taking a visual, easy task. It also looks fantastic for customer-facing displays.

Ease of Use

Consider the opening. A wide-mouthed jar is much easier to fill without spillages and  allows you to get a scoop or your hand inside, which is essential in a fast-paced environment.

Material & Durability

Glass is king for storage. It's non-porous, so it won’t absorb odours or stains from things like curry powder or tomato sauce. Plus, it’s endlessly recyclable and  built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the rubber seal included with the jar?

A: Yes, every Olympia clip top jar comes complete with one rubber seal, ready to use.

Q: Can these jars be stacked on top of each other?

A: Due to the shape of the lid and  the clip mechanism, these jars are not designed to be stacked securely.

Q: Are these jars suitable for canning or preserving with heat?

A: These jars are designed for storing pre-preserved or dry goods. They are not made from tempered glass, so they are not suitable for traditional heat-processing canning methods.

Q: Can I put this glass jar in the freezer?

A: We don't recommend freezing liquids in the jar, as the expansion of the contents could cause the glass to crack. They are generally fine for freezing dry goods.

Q: Is the whole unit dishwasher safe?

A: The glass jar itself is dishwasher safe. However, to prolong the life of the rubber seal and  the metal clip, we strongly recommend washing these parts by hand.

Q: What's the main advantage of this airtight glass container 750ml over a screw-top?

A: The clip-top mechanism creates a much more forceful and  reliable airtight seal, which is superior for long-term freshness and  preventing moisture ingress.

Q: Is the glass prone to chipping?

A: The jar is made from durable commercial-grade glass, but like any glass product, it can chip or break if knocked against a hard surface.

Q: Can I use this for non-food items?

A: Absolutely! They are fantastic for organising all sorts of things in a craft room, workshop, or for general display purposes.

More Than a Lid: How the Airtight Seal Protects Your Profits

Ever wondered what makes a clip-top jar so effective? It’s all down to the dream team of the metal lever and  the rubber ring. When you clamp the lever down, it applies firm, even pressure onto the rubber seal, squeezing out the air and  creating a vacuum-like barrier. Think of it as a mini fortress for your food, protecting it from its two biggest enemies: air and  moisture.

Air makes oils go rancid and  robs coffee of its aroma, while moisture turns crunchy biscuits soft and  causes dry goods to clump. By keeping them out, this simple mechanism helps your ingredients stay fresher for dramatically longer. That means less food thrown away, better quality products for your customers, and  ultimately, more money in your pocket. It's a simple bit of science that makes a huge difference to your bottom line.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops

    Perfect for stylishly storing and  displaying coffee beans, loose-leaf teas, sugar, and  counter-top biscuits.

  • Restaurants & Pubs

    Ideal for organising the back-of-house pantry, keeping ingredients like grains, spices, and  dried fruits fresh and  accessible.
