Freund Container Introduces Legacy® Canning Jars: Premium Quality and Old-World Charm at Up to 40% Savings

CHICAGO, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Freund Container & Supply, a division of Berlin Packaging, today debuted its new line of Legacy canning jars that combine premium quality and traditional design with a price up to 40% below that of the most popular canning jar brands. The jars, nearly identical in appearance with their turn-of-the-century cousins, feature the same, classic two-piece vacuum seal lids that have been proven over generations of home and commercial canning.

Freund Container's Legacy Canning Jar line includes 8-ounce, 16-ounce and 32-ounce sizes and are packaged 12 per case. The jars can be purchased online at FreundContainer.com or by calling 800-363-9822.

"Freund is proud to introduce these fine products that will quickly become a staple with canners everywhere," said Chris Hiller, General Manager of Freund Container & Supply. "Not only are they the same level of quality as the most popular brands, but their 'old world' looks scream wholesome goodness. And with their value pricing, Legacy Canning Jars match the thriftiness and homespun appeal that are at the very heart of canning."

Legacy Canning Jars demonstrate quality both inside and out. Their crystal clear glass and nearly invisible mold lines speak volumes about manufacturing excellence, while the rich, distinctive "heritage" embossed details add to the appetite appeal of the food within.

Outside, each jar has two blank sides for the easy addition of canning dates, brand labels or ingredient information. Ounce and cup measurements are embossed on one jar side.

"Legacy canning jars match the performance and quality of any product on the market including Ball® and Kerr® jars," stated Hiller. "These products, three years in the making, will be the perfect complement to any variety of fruit or vegetable."
