Background

As an experienced pickle jar supplier, Yeboda was contacted by a Japan-based pickle brand producing premium tsukemono for supermarkets and convenience stores. The brand needed a dependable pickle jar supplier that could support fast-growing demand without compromising sealing quality or production speed. They customized pickle jars with ultra-clear flint glass, a wide-mouth round body, a reinforced heel, and a twist-off metal lid with acid-resistant food-grade liner. The client chose Yeboda because we provide stable lead times, precise dimensional control for automated capping, and strong mold development support for long-term supply.

Challenges

Filling Line Bottlenecks

The brand’s packing line slowed down due to inconsistent jar mouth dimensions, which caused frequent lid misalignment and re-capping.

Rising Defect Rate in Peak Season

During peak production, jars showed occasional lip chips and micro-cracks, increasing rejection rates and delaying shipments.

Cause Analysis

Yeboda’s engineering team performed dimensional inspections and line simulation tests and confirmed the key causes:

  • Neck finish tolerances were too wide for high-speed capping, leading to torque instability.
  • The jar mouth edge lacked sufficient strengthening, making it vulnerable during sorting and capping impact.

Solution

Precision Neck Finish Control

We upgraded the neck ring tooling, tightened tolerance control, and introduced go/no-go gauges for every production batch to ensure stable sealing.

Strengthened Mouth & Handling Improvements

Yeboda applied a reinforced rim design and optimized annealing to reduce internal stress. We also improved carton dividers and tray loading to prevent lip damage before filling.
