Look for commercial dish washing racks. Or German beer bottle cases. They won’t be cheap.

Seems like the industry is one size only

I think the quarts would work but the pint is just a bees dikk bigger

Yep, they standardize pretty heavily.

 

I think this is a great idea and I hope you (we) find something that will suit.

Coupon if you decide to go with the plastic jar storage containers.

 

try a restraunt supply store. They should have glass storage racks.

 

This is what we use. BTW, they come free with the canning jars.

 

That’s what I was thinking

 

My full jars are in milk crates with dividers I made out cardboard. I'm sure dividers could be made of coroplast (plastic signs). When looking I really didn't see too many affordable options. Starting to think dedicated shelves may be a better option unless you need to move around alot

 

Cardboard storage boxes are problematic if you store your jars in a damp basement or shed, and silverfish and rodents find cardboard to be a tasty meal.

 

So don't store jars in a damp basement or shed. Problem solved.

Those look awesome but at $43 apiece...not affordable. We have 100's of jars. A lot are on wood shelves filled with foods or water. The rest are empty but sideways in big plastic tubs. I can fit more in the tub sideways than upside down, and less likely to chip the edge of jar mouth.

 

Here‘s a selection of of a few hundred different racks.

They don’t have pegs or indentations to make the stack stable. You can certainly stack the empty or a few high full of glasses, but the glasses bear all the weight, and there is nothing to keep tray 2 from sliding arround.

Look at a stack of 2 L bottles in the plastic trays- the underside of the tray has some dished out areas that register on the layer of bottles below, making them more stables.

I don’t think we are talking about the same things. They actually DO have pins and indentations, the rims at top and bottom nest to allow them to mate up. They do stack in a stable way, and depending on the height of the glass and the depth of the tray…the glass bears zero weight. You have to use the proper height for your glassware…but they make extenders to accommodate varying heights.

Like this

Honestly…have you ever worked in a commercial kitchen? Because you seem to have zero knowledge of these racks?

Do you really think they’d make these carts, if the stacks weren’t stable?
Can you see how the base overlaps the top of the rack below it?

Yeah…those are the same type of things I was talking about.

 

I used to use the cheap plastic storage totes you'll see at Walmart around back to school time. I scored like 2 dozen of them for $1 each. I quickly found out that for empty jars, they are fine, but for full quart jars, the bottom starts to bow too much for my comfort. While I never had one break, I still don't trust it.

I'd love to use commercial ones, but they'd be way too expensive!

The best boxes I've found are at ALDI and Sam's. At ALDI, I like the boxes the large tubs of peanut butter comes in (the peanut butter at Sam's also comes in them, as well as a pasta sauce). They will fit 6 quart jars perfectly or 8 pint jars. Whenever I go to ALDI I always try to get 2 or 3 of them, even if it means I NEATLY put the jars on top of other jars and take the boxes.

I've also found that carrying the quart jars 6 at a time down the basement stairs is a lot easier than doing 12, when they are all filled with liquid. As I get older, I don't have quite the balance I used to.

For the 1/2 pint jars, the boxes the yogurt comes in at ALDI fits 12 very nicely.

Here's some tea I did the other day. Note if you are going to stack these you'll not want to mix widemouth and regular

Consider another box upside down on the jars ,then the next set on top for each layer invert a box as said , I am in high humidity , personally not had a silver fish problem or any other insects , one can also put the cardboard with jars into a plastic bag , I put individual metal tins into small plastic bags , then the full tray into a plastic bag

 

I use either the original boxes they come in, or the wood boxes I made specifically to hold mason jars. Two different sizes, for quarts and pints. It helps to have a wood shop.

Have a friend with a wood shop? Cutoff scraps can be used.

 

 

I just Googled Mason Jar Storage and came up with a range of jar storage product from heavy cardboard and $3.50 ea. to high end storage at $30.00 ea. There are 5 or 6 plastic storage crates at $10.00 to $15.00 ea. One is even specific by jar size.
Good Luck!

 

I have some already. Milk crates from Walmart or Tractor Supply.
