Jar tickets are considered a type of pull tab but are constructed differently than a typical pull tab ticket. They are sometimes called "paper" tickets because they are constructed of paper that is folded, wrapped with a band, and then glued.

Jar tickets are much smaller than Popp-Opens pull tabs which does not allow enough room to list the prizes on the ticket. A flare, or point of sale promotion piece, accompanies jar tickets and describes the game and denotes the winning payouts. Each set of jar tickets contains a predetermined number of hold tickets, instant win tickets, and a seal card prize.
