Canning jars typically are sold by the box. The jars are
made
of glass, and are often packed right next to each other,
so
any modest mishandling of the box, including accidents,
will
cause jars to break. This needs to be fixed!
So, get a nice steel can. Put appropriate protective
stuff
in
the can, like bubble wrap. Put the canning jar in the
can,
completely surrounded by the protective stuff. Seal the
can.
The steel provides extra protection for the canning jar.
Sell
the canned canning jar to anyone who wants a canning
jar
that very probably won't be broken when needed.
Perhaps they might even be sold in a box that contains
several of them.
For anyone who doesn't know what a canning jar is

This idea is way too short. It lacks an introductory
preamble on fracture mechanics, and detail on the
dimensions of can and jar, the thickness of the
steel, and so forth. |
|

I note also that it falls entirely within the purview of
current engineering and physics, and involves no
violation of basic physical laws. This needs to be
correctified. |
|

Yeah. What's happening Vernon? |
|
| |
And why not bubble wrap? Isn't that cheaper? |
|
| |
For that matter, there's only a few of us who know what a canning jar is. Why the investment in new methods for old school tech? Did you break some jars of heads, hearts, or tails? |

Every now and then a silly notion enters my thoughts, like "canned cans", and I think, "Hmmm, there's a HalfBakery post derive-able from that, somehow...". |

According to the link, a "canning jar" is a "jar". |

[MaxwellBuchanan], the lid of a canning jar is what makes an ordinary-looking jar into a canning jar. The lid is special. But of course it still needs to fit the jar, and if the jar is broken, the lid by itself won't do you much good.... |
|

So what you're saying is that when the jars we use for canning get jarred, they can no longer can, but if we can the canning jars before the can gets jarred, they can can. |

Do I have that about right? (and is Toulouse-Lautrec spinning in his grave?) |

Bun for [Canuck]. Made me laugh. |
