Caps and closures

Choosing the correct lid significantly affects preservation, food safety, and the presentation of your bee products. There are two main types of lids depending on the preservation method:

Pasteurizable lids: Suitable for low-temperature preservation methods up to 100°C, such as pasteurization and water bath, ideal for honey, jams, or jellies. These lids ensure airtight sealing, preserving product freshness and quality.

Sterilizable lids (autoclave): Essential for processes exceeding 100°C, these lids withstand extreme conditions and guarantee perfect sealing during industrial sterilization or autoclave processing.

Additionally, twist-off lids are not recommended for reuse due to potential loss of airtight sealing, whereas glass jars can be safely reused after thorough cleaning.

Available in various finishes (gold, silver, black, white, or decorative bee designs), lids can help differentiate your product visually, increasing perceived value to your customers.

Always choose the lid type best suited to your product’s processing temperature and preservation method to ensure optimal quality and professional presentation.
