Description
Custom jar labels & stickers, printed in the UK on waterproof vinyl or food-safe paper
Custom jar labels printed in the UK in full colour on waterproof vinyl or food-safe paper, cut to round, square or any bespoke shape, supplied on sheets with a minimum order of just one label.
Made your own jam, honey or chutney and ready to sell it? A well-printed jar label is what turns a home-kitchen batch into a shelf-ready product. We print your artwork in full colour on self-adhesive paper or waterproof vinyl, cut to fit your jars exactly.
Our paper jar labels are food safe and approved for direct contact with non-fatty foods, while the vinyl option is scratch and water resistant for candles, cosmetics, storage and anything that gets handled or wiped. Both come in a matt or gloss finish to suit your brand.
You can run several designs in one print job at no extra cost, so a whole range of flavours or scents can be labelled together. Design online in our jar label designer or upload print-ready artwork - and if you need a custom shape, just supply a cutting path.
Waterproof & food safe
Vinyl labels resist water and scratches; paper labels are approved for direct contact with non-fatty foods like jam and honey.
Clear or white vinyl
Choose a white base or a see-through clear label, with optional white ink for bold print on glass and clear containers.
Any shape to fit
Round, square, oval or a bespoke die-cut - supply your cutting path and we cut each jar label to match your jars.
One label minimum
Order from a single label to several thousand, and mix multiple designs in one print run at no extra charge.

What’s down to you
- Spelling, wording and layout in your artwork
- Setting up white ink and clear areas correctly for your design
- We can’t improve low-quality graphics - upload poor resolution and it will print at poor resolution
- We print your design exactly as approved, so please check your proof carefully
By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Are your jar labels food safe?
Our paper jar labels are food safe and approved for direct contact with non-fatty foods such as jam, honey and preserves. For products where the contents may spill onto the label, or for candles and cosmetics, the waterproof vinyl option is applied to the packaging instead.
Are the labels waterproof?
The vinyl jar labels are made from a waterproof PVC that is scratch and water resistant, so they stay looking sharp through fridges, handling and wiping. Paper labels are food safe but not waterproof, so pick vinyl for anything that gets wet or chilled.
Can I have a custom shape to fit my jars?
Yes. Enter any width and height for a standard round, square or oval label, or supply a cutting path on your artwork for a bespoke die-cut shape, and we cut each label to match.
Can I print onto clear jars or bottles?
Yes. Choose the clear vinyl base for a no-label look, and add an extra layer of white ink so your colours and text stay solid and readable against the container behind them.
What is the minimum order and can I mix designs?
The minimum order is just one label. You can also run several different designs - different flavours or scents, for example - in a single print run at no extra cost. If you are unsure which material suits your jars, order a free sample first.
How quickly will I get my jar labels?
