How to Make Food Labels

Homemade food makes a great gift with a personal touch. Custom food labels elevate your great food gift to a fantastic food gift. The right food label also makes the presentation of your homemade jam, liqueurs, candy, or baked goods suitable for special occasion party favors like weddings, birthdays, and showers. You might make the best fudge anyone has ever tasted, but if you're planning on marketing and selling it at the local market, you want a food product label that attracts and tempts buyers. Let's face it, bakers and cooks aren't necessarily label designers, that's why we offer a selection of customizable food labels for a variety of food products. Our labels for jam, candy, lemon cello, olive oil, tea, coffee and other food items will add a professional look to your packaging.

Our food labels are made to stick on paper, glass, plastic, wood, cellophane, and many other materials. Our labels stick to jars, boxes, goodie bags, and cellophane bags, plus they are waterproof and colorfast. The backing of each food label is self-adhesive, protected by seamed paper. Simply flex the label to 'crack' the seam and peel away the paper to reveal the sticky label.

Steps to Make Food Labels

1. Measure the area on your food jar, box, or bag where the label will stick. Select the size and shape of the custom label you need based on this measurement. Notice the shapes available are square and rectangle in the following sizes:

• 3" H x 3" W
• 2" H x 3" W
• 3" H x 2" W
• 4" H x 2" W

2. Browse our selection in the Food Labels category. Get inspiration from the example designs and text. Experiment by editing the example words on one of the designs you like. We recommend you create an account and save your designs in your account. Saving designs is free and will allow you to choose one or more of your labels when you're ready to make your purchase. If a graphic designer has created a custom label for you, then upload the completed design starting at MAKE YOUR OWN>Food Labels.

3. Order your labels from Bottle Your Brand.  When they arrive read the instruction sheet included in your package on how to apply labels. Have fun sticking the labels on your food products and enjoy!
