Honey is a rewarding and exciting business for any entrepreneur. However, this field is competitive, and an eye-catching label is a must to make sweet-toothed customers reach for your product. Are you in need of some inspiration? Our quick guide is abuzz with terrific honey label ideas so you can design something amazing!

Honey Label Size and Shape

Before you start designing, you need your canvas (so to speak). Determine which size and shape label will best fit your jars. Oval labels are popular for honey containers but you can always stick to the traditional wraparound or design your own quirky shape. 

The honey label size will depend on the size and volume of the bottle. For example, for 250g (220ml) jars, a standard wraparound label needs to be 40x100mm.

Information and Colors

A standout honey jar label design shows everything the buyer needs to see in an instant — that it’s honey, whether it’s organic, which flowers the honey comes from, the honey volume, and instructions. Popular images include flowers, bees, rustic items, bee hives, honey pots, and honeycombs, but don’t be afraid to add something unique!

Keep in mind that all honey products must adhere to FDA regulations. In other words, there is certain information that must be displayed on your honey label. 

Embellishments 

One of the most powerful ways to attract a customer’s attention is to incorporate embellishments into your honey label design. These extras can make your product shine on the shelf! Some of the most effective embellishments are high gloss spot varnish or embossing, matte lamination, and high-quality, vibrant white labels.
