Honey Labels · Custom Rolls and Lid Stamps

Honey labels

The piece that closes the product: meets the law, communicates origin and sells on the shelf.

A honey label does three jobs at once. It legally identifies what's inside the jar under EU Regulation 1169/2011 and the harmonised Honey Directive — denomination, origin, net weight, lot, packer. It carries the identity of your production to a customer making a decision in seconds at the shelf or at your market stall. And it acts as a tamper-evident seal when the lid stamp shows the jar hasn't been opened since it left your facility. Curated range of label rolls for the jar body and self-adhesive lid stamps with beekeeping motifs, ready for artisan packing and small-scale industry.

Customisation: honey labels sized to your jar

Our labels come in rolls calibrated for manual or semi-automatic labellers, in rectangular and oval formats, in standard sizes for 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg jars. The personalised versions print your denomination, packing address, health registration number and own artwork on permanent adhesive paper; the generic versions come pre-printed with neutral beekeeping motifs — the packer only adds lot and date in a reserved blank area. Lid stamps come in packs of 100 with several themes (honeycomb, bee in bloom, retro beekeeper, country of origin) and diameters compatible with TO-63, TO-66, TO-77 and TO-82 Twist-off caps.

Design: honey labels with their own identity

Four decisions set apart a label that's noticed from one that's invisible on the shelf:

  • Paper and finish — gloss highlights amber honey colour, matte suits premium presentations like heather or chestnut, kraft fits organic and artisan ranges, metallic for special honeys.
  • Typography — mandatory information must be at least 1.2 mm x-height (EU 1169/2011, Annex IV). Readable at 30 cm.
  • Visual motifs — honeycomb, bee and flower keep working because they communicate origin and traceability instantly. Avoid generic clip-art that dilutes the look.
  • Body-and-lid coherence — combining a body label and a matching lid stamp reinforces brand and hardens the tamper-evident seal.

Compliance and presentation: honey labels that meet the law and sell

The label is a legal carrier. EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires the food denomination (the word "honey" plus botanical origin if declared), net weight, lot number, best-before date, packer or producer with address and the indication of the country or countries of origin. The 2024 amendment to the EU Honey Directive tightens the origin rule: "blend of EU/non-EU honeys" is no longer enough — countries must be listed in descending order of proportion. Lid stamps play a second role — they are the visible tamper-evident guarantee a customer looks for when buying artisan honey from a producer they don't yet know.
