12 oz. Glass Canning Jar

The 12 oz. Canning Jar is a great size. It's larger than an 8 oz., yet smaller that a 16 oz. It is fairly tall and narrow which makes it appear large, but it's still easy to wick. It's totally round, and its smooth sides make it a breeze to label.

Watch for cracks

The jar is the perfect size for my line, but I have to plan on throwing out 1/3 of the jars I receive. They either come with hairline cracks, or develop them over time. Curbside pickup helps if you take the time to check them all during pickup. I really hope they find a different manufacturer for this size jar.

CD 12 works great!

Forgot to add that, with these jars, I use a CD 12. I’m a stickler for CD wicks, and only have tried ECO wicks once, and I didn’t care for it. But, a single CD 12, seems to give it a beautiful, even melt pool, all the way down. Not a single bit of wax or soot around the jar! You can’t ask for more than that!

Great jar, but not really12 ounces

I love candle science and all of their products, and I love these jars as well. However, I usually buy the 12 ounce salsa jars, but I did not want to double the shipping cost to have them shipped from Nevada. I opted for these instead. The rustic lids are gorgeous, and like I said...I love these jars, but I cannot sell them as 12 ounce candles! If you stand this jar next to a 12 ounce salsa jars, there’s no comparison. I even measured liquid in it, and at the highest fill point level, I’m getting a touch over 10 ounces. Unfortunately, I wanted to add to my 12 ounce line, but these are being sold as 10 ounce candles.

We have been using these jars for most of our candle lines for five years now. We have jars break in transit occasionally but they are very good about sending replacements. We use the ECO 14 6" wicks. For the last month, we have been unable to get the black and rustic lids for the jars, so are now having to get them from another supplier, which is a huge disappointment.

Great jars, but they nearly all cracked!!

When I first got these jars a few months ago, 2 arrived cracked, but that was out of 4 dozen, so I didn't call it in.
But after doing nothing but sitting on a shelf, in the box, in my workshop nearly all the jars have cracks all over them!!
These jars are a joke, how are they supposed to withstand fire if they can't even handle sitting on a shelf??

Now I have to switch jars AND labels with only 2 months left to launch!

Wick size !

I know the recommendation says Eco 4, but I read on the reviews that an Eco 10 works really well with these jars. Is that true ? Before I make my purchase. I want to make sure. Thank you.

Cute!

Love these 12oz jars. Have had a jar break during shipment on two separate occasions but will continue to order because they are just too cute and perfect:)

Great Jars

Great jars! I use these for products that I want to be a little larger than 8 oz. They work perfectly and fit right into my product line.
