Jar Labels Maker

Round labels for lids, rectangles for the front. Add a “made on” date line and print a whole sheet for a batch of jam or pickles.

What to put on jar labels

  • What is inside
  • Date made (and use-by if you know it)
  • Ingredients if you give or sell it
  • Your name or kitchen name

Tips

  • Regular-mouth mason jar lids are about 2⅝" across and wide-mouth lids about 3⅜"; a 2" or 2½" round label sits inside the ring.
  • Canning labels go on after jars have cooled and sealed, or the adhesive will not grip.
  • For dishwasher-safe jars, use removable labels so they peel off cleanly.

Questions

What size label for a mason jar lid?

A 2" round label (Avery 22807) fits comfortably on a regular-mouth lid; a 2½" round (22830) fills a wide-mouth lid.

How do I print a different flavour on each jar?

Use “Different text per label” in Sheet & print and paste one flavour per line, or duplicate the design and print a sheet per flavour.

Will labels survive the fridge?

Paper labels can wrinkle from condensation. Waterproof vinyl labels or a clear laminate overlay hold up better.
