Ball Half-Gallon Wide Mouth Jars for Bulk Storage

The Ball Wide Mouth Glass Mason Jars listing is for a single 64 oz clear glass jar with one metal lid and one metal band. Ball lists it for crafts, canning or storage. The listing gives measurements of 9 inches top to bottom, a 3-inch jar opening and 4 1/2 inches across the bottom, which helps you check shelf and fridge clearance before buying more.

One line in the listing notes that a “Matheny” marking will not be on the purchased jar, which seems to refer to a photo, not the product. The care fields conflict, listing both dishwasher safe and hand wash only, so hand washing is the safer choice. This jar suits anyone unsure whether a half gallon is the right size for their snack station. It gives way to the multi-packs as soon as you know you want several.

• One 64 oz half-gallon wide mouth jar
• Metal lid and metal band included
• About 9 inches tall with a 3-inch opening
• For crafts, canning or storage

The Ball 64oz Wide Mouth Jars 6 Pack listing targets fermenting and brewing. It describes heat-resistant, USDA certified food grade glass suited to brews that need hot water, and airtight lids with a grommet made from BPA-free plastic that will not rust. Suggested uses include kombucha, sun tea, cider and kefir, plus food storage as a pickle jar.

The pack count is unclear. The title and included components say six jars, but the features say you receive a 2 pack, and the item type field mentions quilted crystal jelly jars, which does not fit a half-gallon jar. The listing also names both plastic airtight lids and lids and bands. Check what arrives. Grommeted plastic lids are designed for fermentation airlocks and storage, not for pressure or water bath canning seals. This suits home brewers and anyone making big batches of iced tea for a watch party.

The Ball 64oz Wide Mouth Mason Jars 2-Pack includes two half-gallon jars with silver metal lids and bands. Ball describes thick, transparent glass that makes contents easy to identify, airtight lids, fridge and freezer safety, and a non-slip design for opening. It lists canning, pickling, fermenting and dry storage, including sugar, snacks and candy.

The care fields again list both dishwasher safe and hand wash only. As Ball 64 oz jars 2 pack go, this is the clearest listing on what you get: two jars, metal lids, metal bands. It suits game-night snack storage for chips, pretzels, candy or cereal on an open shelf. If you want smaller jars for the same shelf, our Ball wide mouth quart jars guide covers the next size down.

Best for
Crafts, gifting and preserving

The Ball Glass Mason Jar with Lids and Bands, Wide Mouth, 64 OZ, is another 64 ounce wide mouth listing, titled as a pack of 2. It lists the manufacturer as Jarden, notes made in USA and BPA-free, and pitches the jars for canning, crafting, preserving, storing and gifting.

Here too, the listing is inconsistent: the title and components say a set of 2, while one feature line says it includes 1 jar. Treat it as a probable 2-pack, and confirm on arrival. Care is listed as hand wash only. It suits crafters and gift-givers who want classic Ball jars. It gives way to the clearer 2-pack listing above if you want no surprises.

Best for
Smaller pantry and quart-size storage

The Ball Canning Jar Regular Mouth 32oz listing is the odd one out: a Ball regular mouth 32 oz jar with a lid, half the volume and with a narrower opening than the rest. The listing is sparse and unclear. The title says case of 1-12 count, and the material field says plastic while another field says glass. Uses listed include jam, pickles, dry goods, flour, sugar, coffee, nuts, spices and rice, and it is listed as dishwasher and microwave safe.

This suits smaller pantry items where a half-gallon is too big. It is not a wide mouth jar, so it is harder to fill and clean. For more quart-size options, see our Ball wide mouth mason jars 32 oz roundup.
