Why we recommend ordering in "Layers"
A “layer” is one complete, flat horizontal tier of cases stacked evenly on a shipping pallet. Ordering in complete layers ensures your pallet is structurally stable, significantly reducing the risk of your glass shifting and breaking during transit. Because case sizes vary, the exact number of cases needed to make a full layer is unique to each product. Please check the “Cases per Layer” stat in the product description to calculate your optimal order quantity.
Do You Sell to Individuals?

Yes, we sell to individuals, companies, co-ops, or churches. Anyone can buy from our wholesale facility.

What is the Minimum Order?

Are Your Jars Suitable for Pressure Canning?

Yes, our jars are suitable for pressure canning. You must use our high-heat lids for a water bath > 15 minutes for pressure canning. 

What's the Best Way to Seal Your Canning Jars?

There are two principal methods of sealing your canning jars. With the boiling water bath option, users need a deep pot, canning jars, and lids. However, this method is only safe with foods that have a high acid content, such as fruits and pickled vegetables.

If you’re canning meats, soups, and unpickled veggies, it’s best to use a pressure canner. This method helps ensure the food is preserved safely so it can be eaten at a later date. Shop our selection of glass jars with lids today.

Why Is Glass Making a Comeback?

How does Saia Wholesale work hard to save me money?

We work hard to save you money by bidding out every shipment to multiple carriers to get the absolute lowest price. We then pass those savings directly to you in your freight orders. Unlike other companies that charge a high fixed shipping fee and keep the difference as profit, we believe you should only pay exactly what it costs to get your jars to your door.
