would this be a good size to make canning jar labels (lid) or should I get bigger?

I think this size would be sufficient. I used it to make cupcake toppers and was able to fit a legible font (16) of Happy Birthday, Isabel! (in 3 rows of course). But if you want it to cover the majority of lid surface space I would probably go larger (especially if using a wide mouth jar).

A normal quart (Mason or Ball) canning jar fits. Anything shorter than 6.5" and narrower in diameter (width) than 3.5" will fit.

You would have to hot water bath it in boiling water deep enough to cover the entire jar according to recipe for whatever you are canning. Most recipes give water bathing time for quarts; so, you would have to do extra time for a jar this size. You would have to have a rubber/ring seal for that size lid.

I think they would work for you. I just measured one that has not been used on a jar yet. The inside diameter is about 2 7/8 inches. The outside diameter about 3 5/8 inches. The width of the rubber is 3/8 inches. They have some stretch to them. I use them on glass canister jars with those hinged glass lids that clamp shut. They work fine on those. Hope this helps!!

I'd make a guess of 4in diameter. I have several canning funnels that have come with various sets and they all fit. If you have a funnel like that, measure it and assume about 1/8" approx difference for the jar being wider than the funnel.

I have used this wonderful canning tool for over 5 years... use it from everything to 4oz - quart size jars... it is the greatest! :0) ... plenty of room for quart jars to have 2 inches of water above them for the 'waterbath' ...

I am not sure as I don't do canning but I do use them at work as I have to count part and they are the greatest when I have the different sizes for different size parts that I have to count and bag up. So I don't know if this will help you or not.

I've made 3" and 3 1/2" container size with these I don't think you can go smaller, when I've made larger candles, about 4"to 5" jars I've used three wicks to be sure of an even burn.

You will need to measure the diameter of the mouth of the jar. The seals allow for a little bit of stretch.

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

About 7 half-pints fit into the canner well. Have not tried with pint jars, but it sounds like you really want half pints so it should do the job.

This pot i got for my son so i can't say for sure. But i also got a pot for myself that's another brand that is over 6 quarts and my pot will not hold any quart mason jars to do canning because of the rack that sits on the bottom of the inner pot making the lid not to fit.

Hi Debra, These labels are 2" long x 1" wide. It is enough for the date and contents of your package. I also use these for my canning jar tops. Jo-Ann

A strange question, the width is more important. The funnel is designed to fit into standard canning jars of any size. Extra room of course on the wide mouth jars, but fit nicely in smaller ones and quart size. Trying to use it for empty jars from the market is hit and miss as their mouth sizes differ.

I have one of these canners-it is absolutely perfect for the 1/2 pint and 1/4 pint jars. for pints I think it depends on the shape-if you can find the shorter fat wide mouth pint jars those would cover with water better than the normal shape tall pints

I'd go with a larger size, this is good for speaker wire and might be able to force something larger in it but I wouldn't try it.

The diffuser is only 6 inches wide. Wouldn't really work well if you are canning more than one jar.
