Lid labels for jars, tins and tubs
A lid label is the label your customer sees from above: on a stacked shelf, in a drawer, on a candle. Round lid labels are one of the easiest labels to design and apply, and they give your brand a small, consistent mark.

Good to know
Getting lid labels right
Measure the flat part
Lids with a raised rim need a label slightly smaller than the flat top.
Centre it
A small border looks better than edge-to-edge when applied by hand.
Consistency
Use the same size across the range so they stack neatly.
Surface
Metal, plastic and glass lids differ; test on yours.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock is neat and easy to read; clear stock lets a coloured lid show through; foil accents add shine.

Jar labels
Whether it holds honey, candles, balms or sauce, a jar offers three label spots: the lid, the side and a wrap-around.
Candle labels
Candle labels carry the scent name, the brand and the practical text customers need.
Spice and seasoning labels
A spice rack is a wall of small jars, so the label has to be readable at a glance and distinctive in a row.
Packaging seal stickers
A seal sticker closes a flap, a bag fold or a tissue wrap and puts your mark on the moment of opening.
