Weck

German glassware · Since 1900

Weck jars have been made in Öflingen, Germany since 1900 — and after 125 years they remain the standard for serious home preservers. Made from thick borosilicate glass with no BPA, lead, or cadmium, every jar in this range is built to handle water bath canning, fermenting, and daily pantry use without compromise.

The sealing system is what sets Weck apart: a glass lid sits on a natural rubber seal, held in place by two stainless-steel clips during processing. Once the jar cools, the vacuum seal locks the lid down. To check the seal, simply remove the clips — if the lid stays put, you’re sealed. No guessing. No pressing down and listening for a pop.

Ball Mason Australia is the authorised Australian importer of Weck jars. We stock the full current range — singles and cases — with replacement seals, clips, wooden lids, and fermenting accessories available separately. All orders ship from our warehouse in Kempsey, NSW.
