Canning Jar Two-Piece
Lid & Band Recommendations:
Country Classics brand two-piece lids are made to release pressure by venting air from the jar
during the canning process. When lids do not vent, the pressure builds up and the lids buckle,
crease or bulge and could prevent a proper seal.

UNSEALING OR NOT
SEALING AT ALL:
• Do not overtighten bands, this may result in
buckling.
• Do not boil lids before use as this will
soften the sealing material and could prevent
proper venting and result in a buckled lid or
seal failure.
• Always follow manufacturer’s instructions and
apply bands ngertip tight until resistance is
felt.
• Do not over tighten the band before the canning
process, ngertip tight only.
• Do not overll, always check for correct spacing
between the lid and food as this could result in
seal failure.
• Always clean and check rim of the jar for debris
before attaching the lid, as this could result in seal
failure.
• Do not reuse lids.
