Why We Use PUL Lining for Our Jar & Bowl Covers
If you’ve ever struggled with leaky containers, soggy fabric covers, or disposable plastic wrap piling up in your trash, you’re not alone. When we designed our reusable jar and bowl covers, we knew the lining mattered just as much as the fabric on the outside.
That’s why we chose PUL lining.
Let’s break down what PUL is and why it’s one of the best materials for reusable food covers.
What Is PUL Lining?
PUL stands for Polyurethane Laminate. It’s a soft, flexible fabric that has been bonded with a thin, waterproof layer. You’ll often find it used in products that need to be both protective and breathable, like reusable food storage, medical textiles, and baby products.
In simple terms, it’s the perfect balance of waterproof protection + everyday usability.
The Benefits of PUL for Jar & Bowl Covers
1. Waterproof Without Being Stiff
PUL is waterproof, which means it helps protect against leaks, spills, and condensation. But unlike plastic or vinyl, it stays soft and flexible. Your covers stretch easily over jars and bowls without cracking or feeling bulky.
This makes them ideal for:
- Leftovers
- Fermenting jars
- Fresh produce
- Meal prep bowls
2. Breathable for Better Food Storage
One of the biggest advantages of PUL is that it’s breathable while still being moisture-resistant. This helps prevent trapped moisture, which can lead to soggy food or unwanted odors.
Your food stays fresher, longer.
3. BPA-Free & PFAS-Free
We’re intentional about materials that come into contact with food. Our PUL lining is:
- BPA-free
- PFAS-free
That means no harsh chemicals and no unnecessary exposure, giving you peace of mind when storing food for yourself or your family.
4. Eco-Friendly & Reusable
Single-use plastic wrap adds up fast. PUL is designed to be durable and reusable, making it a more sustainable alternative to disposable options.
With proper care, your covers can be used again and again, reducing waste without sacrificing convenience.
5. Easy to Wash & Care For
Life is busy. Your food storage should be easy.
PUL-lined covers are:
- Washable
- Quick drying
- Designed for repeated use
Simply toss them in the wash and they’re ready for your next usage.
6. Made in the USA
We’re proud to use PUL made in the USA, supporting responsible manufacturing and higher quality standards.
Why PUL Is Better Than Plastic Wrap
Plastic wrap is convenient, but it’s:
- Single use
- Hard to recycle
- Easily torn
- Not breathable
PUL-lined covers give you the same spill protection with far less waste, more durability, and a better overall experience.
Designed for Real Life
We chose PUL because it supports how people actually use jar and bowl covers every day. It’s flexible, protective, safe, and sustainable, without feeling overly “technical” or fragile.
It’s one of those materials you don’t think much about… until you realize how much better it makes your kitchen routine.
