jar lid

Container's twist-on top

A jar lid is the removable top that seals a jar, typically made of metal or plastic.

It screws or snaps onto the jar's opening to keep contents fresh and prevent spills.

I can't get this jar lid off.

Canning jar lids often have a two-piece design with a flat disc and threaded ring.
