BLACK FROSTED - GALAXY STORAGE JAR

We engineered every part of the Galaxy Jar for performance. From the light-diffusing frosted glass to the high-pressure clamp, each feature works to protect the quality and privacy of what's inside. Here’s how the parts deliver real-world benefits.

• Evidence: The steel clamp gives a more secure seal than typical screw-top jars.
• Evidence: The half-ounce capacity is ideal for personal use without taking up too much space.

A storage jar's effectiveness comes down to its core design. Our Galaxy Jar uses two key features—an airtight clamp and frosted glass—to create a superior storage environment that keeps your contents fresh and secure.

How Does The Airtight Clamp Lid Stop Odors?

The steel-hinged clamp is the jar's most important feature for odor control. Unlike a standard screw-top lid, this latch applies strong, even pressure on a gasket that lines the rim. This pressure creates a true airtight seal, which forms a barrier that stops smells from escaping. This simple, durable system is why latch-style jars are trusted for preserving everything from spices to potent herbs.

Why Is Frosted Glass Used For Storage?

While clear glass lets you see inside, it also exposes your contents to direct light, which can reduce quality. The frosted finish on our Galaxy Jar diffuses incoming light, scattering the rays to make them less intense. This helps protect the delicate compounds in your herbs or tea, preserving their flavor, aroma, and potency. The black frosting adds an extra layer of light-blocking protection.

• Evidence: The clamp and gasket system provides a reliable airtight seal.
• Evidence: Frosted glass helps shield contents from the damaging effects of light.
• Evidence: This design is focused on preserving the quality and aroma of your materials.

Using your storage jar correctly helps ensure maximum freshness for your contents. Follow this simple guide to get the best results from your new airtight container.

What Is The Best Way To Store Contents For Freshness?

First, start with a clean, dry jar. Place your herbs or spices inside, but leave a little space at the top (about a quarter-inch is good). This stops the lid from crushing your material. Press the lid down firmly so the gasket makes full contact with the glass rim. Then, pull the steel clamp down until it snaps securely shut. For the best preservation, keep the sealed jar in a cool, dark place like a drawer.

6-Step Freshness Workflow

1. Prepare Your Jar: Make sure the jar is completely clean and dry inside.
2. Load Contents: Gently place up to a half-ounce of material inside.
3. Leave Headspace: Avoid overfilling to make sure you get a proper seal.
4. Secure the Lid: Press the lid down and lock the steel clamp.
5. Check the Seal: Give the lid a gentle tug to confirm it is secure.
6. Store Properly: Keep the jar in a cool, dark location away from sunlight.

• Evidence: A proper seal needs clean contact points and a secure clamp.
• Evidence: Storing the jar in a cool, dark place provides extra protection.

Our Galaxy Jar is a fantastic all-around choice, but different needs might call for different solutions. Here’s how it compares to other small storage containers we offer at Honeybee Herb.

How Does This Jar Compare To Other Small Containers?

When choosing a container, think about the tradeoffs between smell-proofing, durability, and material. The Galaxy Jar's clamp lid offers excellent aroma control, while a screw-top is simpler but less secure. Silicone is good for travel since it won't break, but glass is better for preventing any taste from transferring.

• Evidence: Clamp lids provide better odor control compared to screw-tops.
• Evidence: Glass is a non-porous material that won't absorb or add flavors.

Keeping your Galaxy Storage Jar clean is simple. A little routine care helps maintain its look and smell-proof performance, ensuring it will last for years.

How Do You Clean The Jar And Remove Odors?

For general cleaning, hand-wash the glass jar with warm, soapy water. Let it air dry completely before using it again. To handle stubborn odors, make a paste of baking soda and water, coat the inside of the jar, and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. A mix of equal parts white vinegar and water also works well to neutralize smells.

Is The Galaxy Print Dishwasher Safe?

To protect the galaxy print and the frosted finish, we strongly recommend hand-washing only. The high heat and harsh soap in a dishwasher can cause the design to fade or peel over time. The metal clamp hardware can also be damaged by dishwasher cycles.

• Evidence: Dishwashers can damage the decorative print and finish.
• Evidence: Natural cleaners like baking soda effectively remove lingering odors.
