Nut butter labels for oily jars and tubs
Nut butter jars carry an oily film and a serious allergen message. The label has to stay put on a slick surface and leave room for clear allergen text. Wiping the jar before you label matters as much as the stock.
- Best for: Glass and plastic jars, tubs, squeeze packs
- Recommended stock: Matte or gloss on white BOPP
- Typical shape: Round lid, rectangle front

Nut butter label tips
Oil on the jar
Residue prevents bonding. Wipe the outside clean and dry before application.
Allergen visibility
Give allergen statements generous space and contrast.
Lid and front
Round lid labels help in stacked retail; front labels sell the flavour.
Separation
Natural oil separation makes jars messy; a finished surface wipes clean.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock is easy to read; gloss wipes clean slightly easier. Clear stock on glass shows the colour of the butter.
