Compare the Signature Storage Jar Small and Medium on price, stackability, and airtight storage. See which size suits flour, sugar, and everyday kitchen staples.
Quick answer
Choose the Signature Storage Jar Medium if you store flour, sugar, or other high-volume staples and want fewer refills; choose the Small if you portion out nuts, spices, or tea and want to save counter space. Both share the same airtight silicone seal and stackable Tritan body, so the decision comes down to capacity and price.
What the sizes share—and where they diverge
Both jars are made from shatterproof Eastman Tritan and feature an airtight silicone seal, so freshness and durability are equal. The real difference is how much they hold and how they fit into your storage routine. The Medium costs more per jar but typically holds more, reducing how often you refill. The Small costs less upfront and suits smaller quantities or tighter spaces. Neither jar’s exact capacity in milliliters or cups is listed in the catalog, so if precise volume matters, check the product page or measure your shelf space before ordering.
Stackability and counter footprint
Both sizes stack neatly on top of each other thanks to the elliptical design. That means you can mix Small and Medium jars in a single stack without wasting vertical space. However, the Medium’s larger footprint may limit how many you can fit side by side on a narrow counter or shelf. The Small is easier to tuck into crowded areas or use as a secondary jar for partial bags of ingredients.
Price and value trade-off
At catalog prices, the Medium is USD 15.84 (compared to USD 24.00) and the Small is USD 12.24 (compared to USD 18.00). The Medium offers more capacity per dollar if you need bulk storage, while the Small lets you buy multiple jars for different ingredients without a large outlay. If you are organizing a pantry from scratch, a mix of both sizes often works better than committing to one.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Capacity vs. counter space: The Medium holds more but takes up more room; the Small saves space but needs more frequent refills for bulky staples. Measure your shelf depth and height before choosing; both stack, but the Medium’s footprint is larger.
- Upfront cost vs. long-term convenience: The Small is cheaper per jar, so you can buy several for different ingredients; the Medium costs more but may reduce the number of jars you need for high-volume items. If you store flour or sugar weekly, one Medium may replace two Smalls and save space overall.
- Stacking flexibility: Both sizes stack neatly, but mixing sizes in one stack can be unstable if the footprint difference is significant—test your arrangement before filling. Keep stacks uniform in size for stability, or use separate stacks for Small and Medium jars.
