Jar & Jam Labels

Give homemade and professionally produced preserves a polished finish with custom printed jar and jam labels. Add your logo, product name, flavour, ingredients and other important information to create packaging that looks consistent and helps customers recognise your brand.

Our labels can be used on jam, marmalade, chutney, honey, sauces, pickles, spreads and other jarred products. Choose paper labels supplied on rolls or durable vinyl labels supplied on easy-peel sheets, with a choice of shapes and sizes for jar fronts, backs and lids.

Paper or vinyl labels for jars

Paper labels are a cost-effective choice for everyday product packaging and are supplied on rolls for convenient hand application. Choose from matt white paper, biodegradable white paper or paper protected with a gloss or matt laminate.

Vinyl labels are supplied on easy-peel sheets and offer greater resistance to water, moisture and regular handling. Gloss white, matt white and clear vinyl options are available, allowing you to select a finish that complements both your artwork and the contents of the jar.

The most suitable material will depend on how the jars are filled, stored, transported and used. Labels should be applied to clean, dry glass at room temperature and positioned away from embossed lettering, deep curves and uneven surfaces wherever possible.

Labels for jar fronts, lids and packaging seals

Create matching labels for different areas of your packaging. A larger front label can display your branding and product name, while a second label can provide ingredients, allergen information, storage instructions or business details.

Circular and square labels work well on jar lids, while narrow rectangular labels can be used across the lid and side of the jar as a packaging seal. Available options include:

• Rectangular labels for jar fronts and information panels
• Circular and square labels for lids and branding
• Oval labels for traditional preserve packaging
• Custom sizes shaped around your artwork
• Matching front, back and lid label designs

Designing your custom jar labels

Upload your completed artwork or create your design using our online label builder. For a clear printed result, supply editable vector artwork or a high-resolution image of at least 300dpi.

If a background colour or image reaches the edge of the label, include 2–3mm bleed and keep important text and logos at least 1–2mm inside the cutting line. This helps prevent unwanted white edges and keeps essential information safely within the finished label.

A PDF proof can be provided before printing if requested. We will wait for your approval before producing the order, allowing you to check the size, layout, spelling and positioning of your design.

Information to include on food labels

If you sell prepacked jam, preserves or other food products, your labels may need to display specific information. Depending on the product and how it is sold, this can include:

• The name of the food
• An ingredients list with allergens emphasised
• The net weight or volume
• A best-before or use-by date where required
• Storage instructions
• A batch or lot number where applicable
• The name and physical address of the responsible food business

Food-labelling requirements vary according to the product and how it is packaged and sold. You are responsible for checking that your finished artwork contains the correct information and complies with the regulations applying to your business. Your local Trading Standards service can provide advice when required.
