How do I create a personalized label for my jar of honey?

Votre Étiquette’s online editor lets you create a label in just a few clicks. Start by choosing a template from the beekeeper range (kraft, floral, premium), then customize the text, colors, logo, and images. An AI assistant can generate a complete design based on your instructions. The instant preview shows the result before confirmation. If needed, free desktop publishing support can refine your creation. The standard format is 75 mm × 65 mm, adjustable up to 150 mm × 65 mm. Once you are satisfied, download your design as a PDF with a minimum 1 mm bleed for optimal printing.

What legal information is mandatory on a honey label?

French and European regulations require several elements to appear on the label: the sales description (type of honey: acacia honey, spring honey, mountain honey), the country of origin, the best-before date (BBD), the name and address of the manufacturer or packer, and the batch number. The terms “wildflower honey,” “natural honey,” or “pure honey” are not permitted as official sales descriptions. Votre Étiquette provides assistance in incorporating these mandatory details while ensuring legal compliance without visually overcrowding your label.

What is the price of a personalized honey label, and what is the delivery time?

Custom honey labels start at €0.03 per unit, depending on the volume ordered. Volume discounts apply for larger quantities. Delivery is guaranteed within 48 hours via Chronopost once your design has been approved. A free pre-printing verification service allows you to confirm the final result. You can order a small test quantity at a reasonable unit price, or choose a large print run with volume discounts.

Each design allows you to add personalized information: apiary name, contact details, place of harvest (“Harvested in France”), logo of your beekeeping business. Custom label for honey jars thus becomes a true reflection of your brand.

Label formats and dimensions for honey jars

The honey jar labels available come in several standard or customizable sizes to suit your jar:

75 mm × 65 mm : classic format that fits most glass jars
Square or hexagonal formats for a distinctive graphic finish
Warranty strips (40 × 120 mm): the ideal finishing touch for sealing the jar
Custom dimensions : adjustable up to 150 × 65 mm for large-format jars

Corners can be square or rounded, depending on your aesthetic preference. Each label is custom-cut, allowing every beekeeper to find the exact shape that enhances their honey jar.

Adhesive materials and print quality for honey labels

The adhesive used makes all the difference between an ordinary label and a professional label. Votre Étiquette offers two options:

Permanent adhesive ideal for long-lasting adhesion, with the jar remaining sealed for several months
Water-soluble adhesive Practical if you want to allow the customer to remove the label easily after purchase

High-definition printing uses Laser/LED technology, ensuring true-to-life colours and sharp details. Premium paper withstands ambient humidity, rubbing and temperature variations, which are essential in a kitchen or market environment. Each label remains legible and attractive even after months of storage.

Mandatory information on honey labels: legal compliance

Before confirming your order for honey jar labels, check that your design complies with French and European regulations. Votre Étiquette offers specialised assistance to help ensure this compliance:

Product name Mandatory indication of the type of honey (“acacia honey”, “spring honey”, “forest honey”). Please note: the expressions “all-flower honey”, “natural honey” or “pure honey” are not permitted as official designations.
Country of origin The country where the honey was harvested must be indicated
Best before date (BBD) mandatory, in the form “Best before the end of [month/year]”
