Honey Label Helper (Light)
A simple helper to build sensible label text and suggested label sizes for common honey jars. This is not legal advice – always confirm your local labelling requirements before printing.
Step 1 – Basics
Some states have additional requirements
Label requirements vary by country and sometimes by state/province. This helper uses common, conservative patterns. Always double-check with your local food authority or extension office before printing labels.
Step 2 – Label Content
Product Name & Identity
Only use if that source is truly predominant in the honey.
Describe the form if it accurately reflects the product.
Producer / Packer Details
Most jurisdictions require the name and address of the producer, packer, or distributor.
Net Weight
Net weight statement:
Net Wt. 12 oz (340 g)
In many US labelling guides, the net weight is expressed in both US customary and metric units, and placed in the lower third of the principal display panel. Always verify your local requirements.
Warnings & Notes
Storage suggestions, batch info, etc.
Marketing Claims & Descriptors
Check any claims you're considering. We'll provide guidance below.
Type exactly what you want on the label. You are responsible for accuracy.
Step 3 – Jar & Label Layout
Suggested label size:
3.25" × 2.25" (83 × 57 mm)
Typical front label for 16 oz mason jars.
These are approximate dimensions that should fit most jars of this type. Always print and test a paper mockup on your actual jar before ordering labels in bulk.
