After you have made your jar product, soak the jar in a large mixing bowl for @ 30 minutes. Use a spackling spatula to remove the soft label. If this does not do the job, add a small amount of WD-40 to a paper towel. Then wash the jar, lid and ring in the dishwasher. Let dry completely in dishwasher and then continue to let dry for an afternoon. Then you have a storage jar for ingredients or storing fresh fruit in frig.

All jars are wrapped in large bubble wrap. Smaller jars are wrapped in regular bubble or foam. I use heavy-weight kraft mailing boxes with cardboard sheets for the bottom and then filled with more large bubble or kraft packing paper.

Use the mason jars for all kinds of storage: pasta, rice, baking mixes, candies, cupcake papers, screws, etc.
