Brimful capacity

Brimful capacity of a jar or bottle is the maximum capacity of the container to hold liquid. It also called overflow capacity.

Brimful capacity of a jar with metal lug cap or screw cap have the capacity to hold liquid until the very top (or brim) of the jar or bottle.

Some of the jars e.g. pressed jar have different meaning for brimful capacity because it requires space for the cap to be placed within the jar when it is capped on. Therefore the brimful capacity is the maximum capacity that includes caps to be placed into jars and not to the brim level of the jar.
