Standard pint platform

The familiar 473 mL nominal size serves a broad range of retail and contract-packing briefs

Wide-mouth versatility

The 70 mm finish supports spoon access, particulate filling and standard food-closure routes

Efficient supply format

A 12-count case and 2,880-jar reference pallet suit established high-volume lines

Economy Jar profile

A standardized pint jar whose economy comes from platform efficiency, not reduced specification detail.

Platform economics, closure discipline & multi-product use

Six decisions that make a standard Economy jar commercially useful.

BGP-FS-3464 works to the established 16 oz Economy/Mayo envelope: 134.4 mm high, 78.0 mm in diameter, 230 g of glass and 487.9 mL overflow. Its 70-450 finish takes deep-skirt one-piece food caps and selected regular-mouth two-piece systems, which is what makes the jar useful where one platform has to carry several foods and filling routes.

01

Economy starts with a mature standard

The value of this jar comes from widely established geometry, closure availability, predictable case packs and high pallet density—not from omitting technical controls. A standard 16 oz body can reduce tooling and component fragmentation across product lines, provided every recipe still has its own fill, liner and process specification.

02

Match the 70-450 closure route

The deep-skirt 70G finish supports several closure constructions, including one-piece lined caps and compatible regular-mouth two-piece systems. Those parts are not interchangeable by diameter alone. Fix cap height, thread form, liner, application and tamper-evidence route in the bill of materials before purchasing at pallet scale.

03

Particulates benefit from the wide opening

The mouth provides useful clearance for diced vegetables, fruit pieces, relishes and chunky spreads. The filler nozzle, maximum inclusion size and product-to-liquid ratio still determine whether each jar fills uniformly. Sample units from the start, middle and end of a run to check both net weight and solids distribution.

04

Use the right thermal route for the food

Jams, acidified pickles, shelf-stable sauces and ambient dry fills place different demands on the same glass. Set fill temperature, scheduled process, cap liner and cooling with the responsible process authority and suppliers. The availability of a canning-style lid does not make one process transferable to another recipe.

05

Build labels around a short panel

The 62.2 mm high panel is generous in circumference but relatively shallow. Prioritize brand and product name on the front, use the back for nutrition and ingredients, and reserve a consistent code zone. Condensation, oil contact and water-bath exposure may each require a different label material or adhesive.

06

Pallet economics depend on the real case

The reference build for this envelope is 12 jars per 12.5 × 9.75 × 6 inch case, 15 cases per layer and 240 cases per pallet. That 2,880-unit build is a useful freight benchmark, but cap supply, dividers, pallet height limits and destination standards must be included before comparing landed cost with another jar.

Application guide

Food programs that benefit from one standardized pint platform.

The Economy jar works across wet and dry categories when closure, filling and label specifications remain product-specific rather than being collapsed into one generic pack.

Economy Jar used for jam, jelly and fruit spread in a preserves setting

Preserves

Jam, jelly and fruit spread

The pint size gives fruit preserves a familiar retail volume and enough mouth clearance for particulate depositing. Set fill temperature and headspace from the recipe, keep fruit distribution uniform, and use a closure/liner route developed for the scheduled process.

  • Control fruit ratio
  • Set thermal headspace
  • Match cap and liner
Economy Jar used for pickles, relish and marinated vegetables in a acidified foods setting

Acidified foods

Pickles, relish and marinated vegetables

For pickles and marinated vegetables a customer forks straight out of the jar and puts back in the fridge. A 70 mm opening takes both the pieces and the fork, while clear glass shows how the pack was laid up. Cut size, drained weight, brine fill and orientation are specified together, then the cap vacuum is checked after cooling.

  • Define cut geometry
  • Control solids and brine
  • Review post-cool vacuum
Economy Jar used for nuts, confectionery and seasoning blends in a dry pantry setting

Dry pantry

Nuts, confectionery and seasoning blends

The same jar can carry dry foods with a closure and liner selected for moisture control rather than hot-fill vacuum. Calculate fill weight from bulk density, use induction or visible tamper evidence if required, and keep powder from contaminating the cap interface during filling.

  • Measure bulk density
  • Control powder dust
  • Choose dry-fill seal route

Sharing the glass body across multiple SKUs can simplify procurement, but line clearance must distinguish cap/liner constructions and process instructions for wet, thermal and dry-fill products.

Economy Jar FAQ

Specification questions for the BGP-FS-3464 16 oz Economy jar.

Answers covering the family name, 70-450 finish, public reference data and multi-product use.

What does Economy Jar mean?

It is an established packaging-family name for a simple round wide-mouth jar. It does not promise a fixed unit price; the commercial advantage usually comes from standard molds, closure availability and efficient case/pallet quantities.

How shallow is the label panel really?

62.2 mm high — generous in circumference but short vertically. Brand and product name belong on the front, nutrition and ingredients on the back, and a consistent code zone has to be reserved before artwork is released rather than found afterwards.

Is 70-450 the same as a regular-mouth Mason finish?

The family is also called 70G and can support selected regular-mouth closure systems, but exact cap construction still matters. Confirm one-piece or two-piece components against the production finish rather than relying on a casual size description.

Can the same jar be used for both jam and dry nuts?

The glass body may be shared, but cap liner, tamper evidence, filling controls, label materials and process documentation will differ. Treat them as separate finished packaging specifications.

Where does the cost advantage of an Economy jar actually come from?

Mature geometry, not thin glass. The saving is in widely available closures, predictable case packs and high pallet density — 12 jars per case, 15 cases a layer, 2,880 units a pallet on the reference build. It does not come from dropping technical controls, and every recipe still needs its own fill, liner and process specification.
