Making your honey jar label work

Beekeepers sell at farm stands, markets and from the front porch, and the jar label is often the only branding they have. It needs to look handmade in the right way while carrying the weight and the source.

What to write on it

  • Name the honey by its flowers or season: Wildflower, Clover, Spring Harvest.
  • Say where it comes from and whether it is raw or unfiltered, which buyers specifically look for.
  • Add the net weight and your farm name; check your local rules for any other required wording.

One tip

Honey jars are often round or hexagonal. Measure the flat face of the jar, and trim the label to fit it before applying.

What do I need on a honey label?
The product name, net weight, your name and address, and any wording your local food rules require. Raw, local and the flower source are common extras.
Can I print honey labels at home?
Yes, on label sheets, or send the PDF to a print shop for a waterproof finish, which suits sticky jars better.
