Applications
Custom honey labels by packaging format
From classic glass jars to squeeze bears and gift sets — matched to each honey packaging environment.
Classic glass jars
8oz, 12oz, and 16oz. Circle, oval, or wrap-around. MOQ 500 for new SKUs.
Squeeze bottles & bears
Flexible BOPP for curved plastic. Honey-resistant adhesive for drip-prone dispensing.
Gift sets & variety packs
Metallic foil, emboss, and soft-touch laminate for holiday programs.
Farmers market brands
Laminated kraft for rustic shelf presence. Waterproof film prevents soak-through.
Raw & comb honey
Custom die shapes for comb sections and wide-mouth mason jars.
Flavored & infused honey
Digital at 500 units. Same color profile when you scale to flexo.

Common mistakes
Why cheap honey labels fail — and how we prevent it
Most first-time orders use the wrong substrate. These are the three failures we see most — and the constructions we specify instead.
Honey drip smudging
Uncoated paper degrades within days of sticky residue.
→ Oil-resistant BOPP or laminated kraft
Refrigeration peel
Cold jars sweat and standard glue lifts at the edges.
→ Cold-chain acrylic, validated 2–4°C
Raw kraft soaks through
Looks rustic but absorbs honey and peels within weeks.
→ Laminated kraft with waterproof topcoat

Customer results
Small brands that scaled without switching suppliers
Started at 500 units — now 15,000 labels per quarter
White BOPP replaced smearing paper labels on 12oz glass jars. Started with a single wildflower SKU, expanded to three varieties — same color profile on every reorder.
Zero smudge complaints in retail refrigeration · reorder rate up 40%
Client feedback
What honey brand owners say after the first run
"Our labels used to smear within a week of honey drips. The BOPP construction solved it — six months on shelf, still clean."
"We wanted kraft look without the peeling. The laminated kraft is indistinguishable from raw kraft but survives refrigeration."
"Started at 500 units per variety and scaled to flexo without a color shift. Lead times beat every broker we tried."
