Hexagon labels are a popular option when creating honey labels. This shape is naturally associated with honeycomb patterns, making them a perfect visual tie to honey and the bees that produce it.

Circle labels are an excellent option for lids and work perfectly if you want to put a logo on the top of your jar or show the flavor. Their simplicity makes them suitable for any type of jar, whether round, rectangular, or uniquely shaped.

Select a Label Material

Choosing the right material for your labels is as important as the design. The selected material will affect your labels' visual appeal, durability, and functionality.

Avoid anything paper-based. these materials are not ideal for honey labels since stickiness and spills can ruin your designs. Instead, opt for film-based materials like our weatherproof labels. This way, your labels will look professional and transparent through shipping damage, moisture, and more.
