Canning labels are used on glass jars and metal lids to identify preserved foods, expiration dates, flavors, ingredients, or homemade branding. They are common for:
✔️Homemade jams, fruit preserves
✔️Pickled vegetables and sauces
✔️Honey, syrup, nut butters
✔️DIY or small-batch food products
These labels must stick well to curved surfaces and often need to resist moisture, oil, and cold conditions.
We offer custom labels for various jar parts:
| Location | Label Type |
|---|---|
| Front of jar | Branding, product name, flavor |
| Lid top | Round or circle label for batch/date |
| Side or bottom | Ingredient list, nutrition facts, barcode |
| Wraparound | Decorative or full coverage label |
All labels are die-cut to match your jar’s size and shape. You can send dimensions or packaging photos for reference.
| Material | Features |
|---|---|
| Glossy or matte paper | Writable with pen/marker, suitable for dry storage |
| PP or PET film | Water- and oil-resistant, ideal for cold or moist conditions |
| Kraft paper | Natural, rustic look for handmade goods |
| Clear film | For a transparent or minimalist label design |
Writable matte and waterproof film are the most common choices depending on use environment.
