Does anyone know if these are still available anywhere-slightly smaller than the standard size and used to be available at any supermarket but no more!

Try Briscoes, Mitre 10, specialist culinary stores (such as Millies, Stevens, Living and Giving, etc), some gardening centres have them too.

You could also use MR Google, with this search:
agee and perfit seals distributer in NZ

That would give you more possibilities. Good luck.

garym I think you're referring to the screw bands that fitted jars such as the coffee jars of years ago. I used to have and use them and wonder if these ones are the same size:- https://www.stevens.co.nz/kitchen/cook-tools-gadgets/preserv

Hope that helps. :-))

Thanks-I have tried everywhere this morning including K Mart the Warehouse, Mitre10 and everywhere else we passed on our exploration! But no one has them now, only a few supermarkets have the large ones

Our Briscoes in Porirua has a range of sizes so I'm sure your local shop will be able to source them.

Morena, I have 19 small lids/seals and also some bands if you need them. They fit the old gregs coffee jars. I was given them but only use the the large seals and bands. If you want them, just pay postage and I will get them to you. I'm of to work for the day but can set up an auction tonight if you are keen.

Recycling centres or Op Shops.

Agree re op shops, I have seen them (and the jars) going by the box full at a very cheap cost. Also ask them, they may have some out the back.
