Good to know
Pickle label planning
Waterproof film
The label stock is waterproof BOPP, so condensation and drips do not turn it to mush.
Clean glass
Wipe jars dry and clean before applying; brine and residue prevent adhesion.
Jar shape
Straight-sided jars take a wrap label neatly; shoulders and curved necks do not.
Batch details
Print the fixed brand label; write batch and best-by by hand or with a separate stamp.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte for homemade charm; gloss for bold colour in a fridge case.
