Aluminum Lids for Jars

If you're packaging in glass, our aluminum lids for jars give you a closure that looks as good as it seals. Each lid ships with a built-in PE liner, so you get a tight, secure seal without buying liners separately. They work with our clear, amber, and frosted glass jars, and we stock seven sizes—from 0.5 oz up to 8 oz—in black, silver, and white finishes. Whether you're filling one case or fifty, the lids ship in bulk and match your jar order without a special order form.

Cosmetics & Skincare Packaging

A brushed silver or matte black lid does a lot of the branding work on its own. Balm makers and skincare brands use these aluminum lids for jars to finish cream jars, lip balm tins, and sample sizes without the plastic look some customers associate with drugstore packaging. The PE liner keeps oils and butters from reacting with the metal, so your formula stays stable from the warehouse to the customer's bathroom shelf.

Food & Craft Packaging

Honey, spice blends, candles, and small-batch sauces all move well in glass jars finished with a metal lid, and aluminum is one of the lighter, more corrosion-resistant options in that category. If you're comparing metal lids for glass jars for a food product, ask us about liner compatibility first—PE liners suit dry goods, cosmetics, and room-temperature fills, but they're not built for hot-fill canning the way a plastisol-lined lid is. We're happy to help you figure out which liner fits your process before you order a full case.

Why Choose an Aluminum Lid

Aluminum doesn't rust, and it's noticeably lighter than tinplate or steel lids of the same size—worth knowing if you're shipping a lot of cases and watching freight costs. It also takes a clean matte or gloss finish well, which is why so many private label brands pick it over plain plastic caps. And unlike some metal finishes, aluminum resists the dents and scratches that show up fast in transit.

FAQ

What sizes do these aluminum lids come in?
We stock seven sizes, from 0.5 oz up to 8 oz, matched to standard glass jar neck finishes. Check the size filter above to find the lid that fits your jar—if you're not sure which thread size you need, send us your jar's finish code and we'll confirm it before you order.

What colors are available?
Black, silver, and white, all with the same PE liner inside. Most brands stick with one color across their whole line for a consistent look, but nothing stops you from mixing sizes and colors within a single order.

Is there a minimum order?
Lids are sold by the box, and box quantities vary by size—smaller lids ship in larger boxes, larger lids in smaller ones. There's no separate case minimum beyond that, so a single box is enough to get started.

Are these lids food safe?
Yes, the PE liner is food-grade and suited to dry goods, cosmetics, and room-temperature fills. If you're hot-filling or canning, though, verify the liner works with your process first—PE isn't rated for that the way a plastisol liner is, so reach out before committing to a full production run.

What's the difference between a PE liner and a plastisol liner?
PE (polyethylene) liners give you a clean seal for cosmetics, oils, and dry products, and they're what you'll find in every aluminum lid we carry. Plastisol liners are the ones used on most metal closures built for hot-fill canning. If your product needs a hot fill, ask us about alternatives before ordering.

Can I get custom labels for my jars?
Yes—our custom label service covers jars finished with these lids, so your branding can go on the glass while the lid stays clean and simple. It's a popular combination for private label and gift-ready packaging.

How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship within 3–5 business days from our US warehouse. We've been supplying more than 5,000 businesses since 2018, and every order is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, so if something isn't right, we'll make it right.
