48mm Metal Jar Lid

The 48mm Metal Jar Lid is the continuous thread metal closure for our smaller glass honey jars. It has a plastisol liner pressed into the interior that compresses against the jar rim when the lid is tightened — no separate insert or foil disc needed. The seal holds for standard honey storage and handles hot-fill processes up to 212°F, so if you're filling jars while the honey is still warm or running a pasteurizing step, this lid handles it.

Available in white and gold. Both are the same thread, same liner, same fit — the choice is purely cosmetic. Gold works well against natural and amber honeys. White gives a cleaner look against dark honeys and reads well under a printed label. If you're not sure which color to start with, white is the more neutral default.

Key Features

• 48mm continuous thread — fits the 8 oz Queenline and 1/4 pint glass jars in the 48mm thread family. Confirm thread size before ordering — not all small glass jars use 48mm.
• Plastisol liner — seals against the jar rim on tightening. No separate foil or foam insert needed.
• Hot-fill and pasteurizing safe — withstands temperatures up to 212°F. Suitable for warm-fill honey bottling and heat-based preserving.
• White or gold — cosmetically different, functionally identical.
• Single-piece metal construction — one piece tightens and seals cleanly.
• Multiple quantity tiers — single lid, 12-pack, 200-pack, or case of 2,400 for high-volume bottling operations.
