Labels for home preserves and small-batch pantry goods
Canning labels identify what is inside a jar and who made it. They are used by market stallholders, farm shops, fundraising committees and people giving homemade jam, relish, pickles, sauces and honey as gifts. A clear label makes a table of jars easier to browse and helps buyers come back for the same flavour.
Label shapes for jars
- Rectangular labels suit the straight band on most preserving jars.
- Round labels fit lids and the fronts of squat jars.
- Square labels work as a neat front panel or a seal over the lid.
- Die cut labels follow an outline, such as a fruit or a scalloped edge, for a handmade feel.
Details to plan before ordering
Batch and date information
Many makers leave a blank area to write a batch number or date by hand. If that is your plan, tell us which pen you intend to use so it can be considered when a material is recommended.
Hot and cold handling
Say whether labels go on before or after processing, and whether jars are refrigerated once opened. Condensation affects some materials, so the conditions shape our recommendation. Our waterproof labels and paper labels are both worth comparing.
Flavour ranges
One master design with a changing flavour name keeps a range looking consistent on the table. Free design support can help build the set, and you can list each flavour in the quantity you expect to sell.
From quote to printed labels
Send your jar measurements, flavour list and artwork through the custom quotation page. There are no die or plate charges, a PDF proof arrives by email for approval before printing, and shipping is free. For sauces, baked goods or a wider pantry range sold alongside your preserves, see food labels, and for deli items try cheese labels.
Questions
Canning Labels FAQs
Where should a canning label go on a preserving jar?
Decide between the side of the jar, the lid, or both. A side label carries the brand and flavour, while a round lid label is handy when jars are displayed from above or stacked in a crate. Measure the smooth band between the jar's shoulder and base, avoiding embossed text, and include those measurements in your quote request.
How do I label several flavours of preserves from one design?
Ask for one layout with an area that changes per flavour, such as the product name or a colour band. Our free design support can set up the variations together, and you can check each one on the PDF proof. List every flavour and the quantity of each in the quote request.
What information do jams and chutneys sold at markets need on the label?
Food sold to the public in Australia generally needs a name, business details, ingredients, allergen declarations and a date mark, though some small or exempt sales are treated differently. Check the Food Standards Code or ask your local council about your situation, then send the final wording. We set the text exactly as supplied.
What should I mention if customers will reuse or return the jars?
Note it in your quote request so we can talk through a label and adhesive that suit that plan. Jars going through hot water baths or into the fridge should also be flagged, as those conditions affect which material is recommended. A photo of the jar and lid helps too.
