Regular Mouth Lids with Bands

Pur Mason regular-mouth flat lids with matching screw bands, twelve per box.

Replacement lids and bands

This box contains twelve flat canning lids with matching screw bands in the regular-mouth size. The flat lid provides the sealing surface, while the band holds it in place during processing. Use the set with preserving jars that have a regular-mouth opening. A lid that is too wide will not sit properly on the rim.

Check jar fit first

Compare the box label with the jars before preparing a batch. Regular-mouth openings are smaller than wide-mouth jars and need matching hardware. The bands should fit the same jar style. If both sizes are kept in the pantry, separate storage makes it easier to select a complete matching set.

Inspect before use

Keep the box dry and look over the flat lids and bands before canning. Do not use a lid with a damaged sealing surface or a band with rust or deformation. Follow the current instructions supplied with the lids for heating and application. Use a new flat lid for each home-canning batch; bands can be reused when they remain in good condition.

Use with a tested recipe

Lids and bands are only part of a safe process. The recipe determines jar size, headspace and processing method. Follow the jar, lid and canner instructions along with current USDA or National Center for Home Food Preservation guidance. After processing, cool jars undisturbed and verify each seal before placing it in storage.

A practical fit

The twelve-count box supports a small batch or gives a household spare lids for the next canning session. Bands can stay with matching jars between uses, while unused lids should remain clean and dry in the box. If a jar rim has a chip, set that jar aside; new hardware cannot correct damage to the glass. Keep mouth sizes sorted in storage.

For the pantry

Sort replacement bands with the matching regular-mouth jars. Each set pairs one flat lid with one screw band. Keep unused sets in their box until the next batch, and use a lid only once for heat processing. Set the matching band aside for later use.
