There is no standard spice jar, there are many sizes sold by many different companies.
We consider the standard size to be 2" in diameter and 5" tall, this is the larger of the sizes available.
Premium brands use the larger size, McCormick goes smaller with 1.8" diameter and 4.5" tall.
On the Vertical Spice Units - Half size containers stack very nicely, 2 in the spot of one standard spice, our units have a band to hold each stacked spice jar.
- Standard Size: 5" tall or less x 2" diameter or less
- Half-Size: 2 3/8" tall or less x 2" diameter (stack-able)
Common Brands include:
McCormick - Penzeys - Spice Island - Morton and Bassett - Spice Trend
