Good to know
Labels for stall sellers
Know your rules
Home-based food sellers often have specific labelling requirements from their province or municipality. Check them before you design.
Brand across items
One logo, one colour accent and one layout across jars, loaves and bags makes your stall look established.
Handwritten fields
Leave a box for a batch date or a hand-written best-before so a single design covers many batches.
Weather
Outdoor stalls mean cool boxes and damp air; waterproof film keeps labels neat.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock reads as natural and tidy. Clear stock suits jars where the contents are the hero. Add a small gold foil seal for gift orders.
