Honey labels for jars, tubs and gift sets
Honey is a gift as much as a food: customers look at the jar for the story, the colour and the hive it came from. A good label frames what is inside, survives sticky fingers and stays put on smooth glass.
- Best for: Glass jars, squeeze bottles, plastic tubs, gift boxes
- Recommended stock: Matte on white BOPP; clear for a see-through look
- Typical shape: Round lid label, oval or rectangle front
- Proof: Free digital proof

Honey label ideas
Let the colour show
Clear stock, or a label with a window, lets the honey itself become the design.
Sticky surfaces
Wipe the jar clean of drips before applying; honey on the glass is the most common reason a label fails.
Seasonal and local
Labels for wildflower, clover or buckwheat varieties can share a design and change the name and colour accent.
Size options
Mini 2 oz sample jars need small labels; 500 g jars take larger front labels.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock gives a natural farmhouse feel; clear stock suits honey whose colour is the selling point. Gold foil makes a nice accent for gift sets.

Questions about honey labels
Will labels stick to glass jars?
Yes, on a clean, dry jar at room temperature. Remove honey residue first.
Can I have a clear label?
Clear stock is available; your jar colour and the honey show through unprinted areas.
Do you offer small runs for farmers' markets?
The instant quote shows available quantities; contact us for other volumes.
Can the label withstand the fridge?
Standard stock handles chilled storage; test one first.
