Sourdough Starter Jars

A: A starter gets stirred, fed, and scraped daily. A narrow neck traps dough on the walls, blocks a spatula, and makes cleaning slow. Wide mouths from 80 mm up let tools move freely and let the rise expand without contact. Most home bakers quit narrow jars quickly, so retail programs favor wide formats.

A: Yes. Graduations are molded into the glass, not printed on it, so heat and detergent do not remove them. Printed scales can flake in commercial washers, which is why we press the marks into the body. Dishwasher and hand wash cycles leave molded graduations readable for the life of the jar.

A: We hold BSCI certification and have passed factory audits for IKEA, Walmart, Target, Disney, and Costco. Audit reports are available for your compliance file. The plant runs 16 lines with 890 workers under one roof, so social and quality checks cover the whole site rather than a sample corner.

A: Batches pass dimensional checks on mouth diameter, height, and scale placement, plus wash checks on clarity. Sealed lid versions get gasket fit tests. Our QC team releases or holds each lot before packing, and we send the inspection standard with your quote so expectations match from day one.

A: Standard terms are a deposit with the balance against shipping documents. We accept bank transfer and can discuss terms for established programs. First orders usually run 30 percent deposit, and repeat business moves to negotiated schedules. Tell us your purchasing policy and we will align the quote.
