America’s #1 Most Trusted Mason Jar Brand

With a $200 loan from their uncle, brothers Edmund, Frank, George, Lucius, and William Ball bought Wooden Jacket Can Company in Buffalo, New York. They changed their name to Ball Brothers Manufacturing Company and moved to Muncie, Indiana, soon to become the largest producer of Mason jars in America.  

From introducing two-piece tinplate closures in 1934 and BPA-free lids in 2012 to launching limited-edition collections and modern colors, our jars have come far from their humble start. Despite new innovations for making, creating, and sharing, our premium quality has stayed the same.

We're proud to call Indiana home to our canning jars and grateful to be an integral part of the community. Our factory workers put integrity and craftsmanship into the jars they produce so you can seal in freshness and preserve everything with confidence. It’s why you’ve trusted us for generations. It’s why we’ll continue to be there for you for years to come.
