Superb Canning : Review of a Reliable Alternative.

Superb Canning Jars and Lids. My Review. Today I’ve got something a little different—a box opening video featuring products from Superb Canning.

Now, I’ll be honest: I don’t usually do unboxing videos. If someone hasn’t used the product yet, how helpful is that, right? But here’s the thing—I have used Superb products. I have used their lids and I do like them.

This will be my first exposure to Superb canning jars. So I figured I’d show you what came in the box, share my first impressions, and explain what makes these stand out from other brands.

My disclaimer. I already used and loved Superb canning lids before affiliating with them. So when they offered to send jars too… well of course I wanted to share them with you! The boxes in this video were sent to me at no cost. I was not paid to make this video. Some of the links below are affiliate links—if you choose to buy through them, it helps support Simply Canning at no extra cost to you. (thank you!) Bonus…. YOU’ll get a discount. 😁

Here’s what I got in my packages today:

First Look: Superb Canning Jars

The first thing I opened was a 12-pack of regular mouth pint jars.

Right away, the packaging caught my attention.

Superb includes a protective insert in the box to keep the lids from sticking or sealing during shipping. It surprised me and I love it. If you’ve ever opened a case where the lids were already sealed down due to heat or pressure, you’ll understand why this matters. These lids arrived pristine and ready to use.

You get jars, lids and rings in the box so you are all set for your first canning project.

The jars feel solid!

The jars themselves feel solid and well-made—more like the older, heavier jars we all know and trust. I noticed the words “Superb R Glass” on the bottom. I’m not sure yet what the “R Glass” means, but it’s something I’ll be looking into.

There’s no branding on the sides of the jars, which I like. That way, your food stays the focus—especially nice for gifting or pretty pantry displays.

Bonus for storage: Unlike those thin plastic trays some brands use, this box can actually be reused to store your filled jars. For someone like me without a big storage walk-in pantry, that’s a big win.

A Look at the Lids: Regular, Wide Mouth, and Bulk Options

Next up was a box full of canning lids—and Superb offers several ways to buy them. (I got ridiculously excited about the sleeves of lids!)

If you do a lot of canning, that bulk sleeve is the best value. No extra packaging, just one long sleeve of lids and a better price per lid. Of course, if you’re just doing a few batches of jam, the smaller packs are still a great option.

Can you tell I’m delighted with the sleeves! haha my face gives it away.

Superb makes both regular mouth and wide mouth lids, so you can stock up on whatever suits your canning style.

Why These Lids Stand Out

The most important part of any lid is the gasket—that thin sealing ring on the underside. And this is where Superb really shines.

Pretty blue Superb Gaskets.

Their lids have a thicker gasket, more like the old-style lids we used to get. Some of the newer lids on the market today are thinner and less reliable. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about seal failures. But with Superb, I haven’t had those issues. The lids worked well for me, and have a great reputation.

They’re made to standard sizing, so they work with your typical Ball, Kerr, or Mason jars as well. Both regular mouth and wide mouth are available.

I completely agree about the quality & value of Superb canning products! Ordered some about 4 years ago when I couldn’t find any sealers locally. (Western Canadian) Figured it was worth a try & I am well pleased with their quality & pricing! Ended up ordering jars from them too as I also prefer the plain glass jars. Noticed this spring that other canning jar companies are now following their lead on that. Great information – thank you for sharing!

I think you made me aware of their lids a few years ago now. Once I tried them, there was no going back. I totally agree, they are quality well worth a few pennies. I have not tried their jars yet, but certainly will as soon as I need some. Since I stick labels on my jar sides, smooth sides sounded great to avoid label stick and removal issues.

Love Superb lids. The nice loud pop really helps those of us who are suffering old age hearing loss. It is good to see someone of your caliber recommending them.

I’ve been using the superb lids for awhile and they are a much better lid. No failures so far! I haven’t tried the jars yet because I didn’t know they made them.
