Jar labels uses
Printed personalised jar labels are becoming increasingly popular due to their adaptability for different uses. Whether you are a small business owner offering a collection of homemade preserves, or a local beekeeper selling honey, we’ve got you covered.
Create labels for your spice jars to easily organise your food storage space. You can make labels that show the contents or quantity of your jars, meaning your kitchen cupboards are easier to navigate. Spend less time searching for the right spice by adding a handy label!
As well as this, if you have any unique selling points or store policies (for example, returning and reusing glass jars), we can display these messages on your custom made jar labels. Show your brand in the best possible light!
Jar labels can also be used for homemade aromatherapy or as cosmetic product labels. We can show off your unique products with the right label. Design your own label, which displays your own logo and ingredients.

Whatever your need, our personalised jar labels will do the trick.

Lid seal stickers
Now that you have your labels sorted for the body of your jar, think about adding a lid seal sticker. Tamper proof seals for jars are an ideal way of reassuring your customers that their product hasn't been opened prior to purchase.
Our paper labels work great as tamper proof seals as they will rip when you open the jar. Alternatively, if you're looking for a waterproof option, we can add a perforation to any of our vinyl materials to ensure they tear on opening.
Jar lid seal stickers can be custom made in several ways. The most popular option is a single piece seal label with the lid label and sealing arm combined. Alternatively, a separate round lid label and tamper proof jar strip can be used to create the same professional result.
For the best tamper proof results, we recommend to stick your lid seal label and sealing arm to your jar first and then apply your main label around the body of your jar, ensuring the top of your main label covers the bottom of your seal label. This keeps your lid seal label in place and creates another security seal. See Rosie’s Relish jars image below for reference.
Customise your lid seal labels with your logo and contact information. Branding your jar seal labels is an excellent way of getting the most from your stickers, making your products look professional and stand out on the shelf from competitor brands. Our custom lid seal labels are available in virtually any shape or size due to our state-of-the-art printing and cutting processes.
To calculate the overall size of your lid seal labels, simply measure the width of the jar lid label and the height of the jar lid label to the end of the tamper proof jar strip. Enter this custom size when prompted on your order journey.
If you decide to opt for the two-piece label approach, choose a relevant shape and size for your lid label and a rectangle label to fit your jars security strip needs.

Jar Label Materials
Our waterproof vinyl labels are available in white, clear, gold and silver materials, and can be personalised to any shape or size you require. We also offer several adhesive strengths to suit your needs.
Clear labels for jars are proving very popular, especially when combined with a single colour, designed and printed in white ink.
Alternatively, you can opt for uncoated paper, which is our most cost-effective material. This fits well with companies that have an environmental ethos.
If you would prefer a paper material option which is splash-proof, why not give our glossy paper labels a try? With its wipe-clean nature, it offers that added peace of mind.
