Give Every Jar a Label That Looks Made to Sell
A canning label goes on a jar of jam, pickles, salsa, honey or a small-batch sauce and carries the name, the flavor, the date and the ingredients. Print full color or black ink on the face, choose a material that matches how the jar gets stored, and size it to the lid or the front. A set of 25 starts at $23.88, rated a perfect 5.0 out of 5.
On a big run they cost about a nickel each, and white vinyl or clear holds up in the fridge as well as the pantry. To compare them with our other canning labels, browse the full range on canning labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A set of 25 at $23.88 covers one afternoon of canning; a stall that sells jam every weekend of the market season needs a few thousand, at a few cents a label. You can split an order into up to 12 sets, one per flavor. Tap any tier below to see the set total at that count.
What Are Standard Canning Labels
Standard canning labels are custom printed labels for jars, cans, and bottles, made from $23.88 for 25. They print full color or black ink on one side, on any of 5 materials, in 50 sizes from a 0.5" circle to a 4.625" CD label, with the size, material, and ink all set in the live configurator.
You set the size to fit the lid or the front, pick a material that matches how the jar gets stored, choose full color or black ink, and the price updates live as you go. The more durable version of this same label lives at Premium Canning Labels when you want a tougher material for jars that face real moisture.
How Much Do Standard Canning Labels Cost
Standard canning labels start at $23.88 for 25. The price scales across 30 quantity tiers up to 25,000, so the per-label cost falls from about 96 cents at 25 down to roughly 5 cents at 25,000. The material and turnaround you choose can adjust the total, and the configurator shows the exact number before you commit.
The entry price is $23.88 for your first 25 labels. At larger counts, 300 labels run $65.97, 900 run $94.25, and a 4,000-label run is $283.97. Push to 25,000 and the total is $1,255.29, which works out to about a nickel a label. A different material or a rush speed shifts the total, and you see every change in real time.

What Sizes and Shapes Do Canning Labels Come In
4OVER4.COM prints standard canning labels in 50 set sizes, from a 0.5" circle up to a 4.625" CD label, and you can set a custom size up to 6" x 5". The default is a 0.5" circle, and the round sizes step up in diameter to fit different lids and jar fronts.
Choose the size by where the label goes. A small round label sits neatly on a mason jar lid or a seal, while a larger round or the 4.625" CD size wraps the front of the jar with room for a logo and a story. If none of the 50 presets is exactly right, set your own custom size up to 6" x 5" for a taller or wider front label. All 50 sizes and the full material list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a full jar-front label, Standard Jar Labels cover that shape, and Standard Food Labels handle boxed and packaged goods.
What Materials Can You Print Canning Labels On
4OVER4.COM offers 5 materials for standard canning labels: uncoated, semi-gloss, hi-gloss, white vinyl, and clear. Uncoated reads matte and takes pen, gloss makes color pop, white vinyl resists water for refrigerated jars, and clear gives a no-label look on glass. Ink prints 4/0 full color or 1/0 black only on the label face.
Standard Uncoated reads matte and natural, the kind of label you can write a date on by hand, and it suits a rustic farm-stand look. Standard Semi-Gloss and Standard Hi-Gloss add a light or a bright sheen for a color photo or a logo. Standard White Vinyl is a durable plastic film that resists moisture, so it holds up on a jar that lives in the fridge or picks up condensation. Standard Clear is transparent, which gives glass jars that clean no-label look where the product shows through. Match the material to how the jar gets handled.
Two steps make the label fit the jar.
Match the material to the jar
Start with the default Standard Uncoated for a matte, writable label on a dry pantry jar. Reach for Standard Hi-Gloss for a bright fruit photo, or Standard White Vinyl and Standard Clear when the jar heads for the fridge and needs to survive condensation. You can print one design on one material per set.
Start from a ready template
On a lid circle, the flavor goes in the middle and the date on the edge; on a front label, add the ingredients under the name. Pick a layout in our sticker and label design templates and change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor. Uncoated leaves room to write the date by hand.

How Fast Can You Get Canning Labels Printed
4OVER4.COM prints standard canning labels on four turnaround speeds, from a standard 3 business days down to 2-day, Next-Day, and Same-Day out of the New York City plant. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon. You pick the speed in the configurator, and faster options adjust the price.
Canning is seasonal, and deadlines have a way of sneaking up before a market or a gift run. The standard 3 business day speed keeps the price lowest, and when the timeline is tight you can move to 2-day, Next-Day, or Same-Day production. Order a same-day job by the daily cutoff and your labels ship that afternoon from the NYC plant. Across 4OVER4, 99.8 percent of orders arrive on time and 82 percent ship early, so you are not gambling on the date.
What Do People Use Standard Canning Labels For
Standard canning labels go on mason jars, cans, and bottles for jams, jellies, preserves, pickles, salsa, honey, sauces, and other home-canned or small-batch foods. Round sizes fit jar lids, larger sizes wrap jar fronts, and white vinyl or clear materials hold up in the fridge and at farmers markets.
Canning labels are small, often round, and made for glass. Home canners date and name every jar of preserves so the pantry stays organized. Small food makers turn a plain jar of honey or hot sauce into a shelf-ready product for a farmers market or a local shop. Gift givers dress up a batch of homemade jam with a label that names the maker and the flavor. Choose clear or white vinyl for jars headed to the fridge.

Standard Canning Labels: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest order of canning labels I can place?
The minimum is one set of 25 labels, which starts at $23.88. That is low enough to label a single batch of jam or a trial run of a new flavor without printing hundreds you will not use. If you need more, quantities scale up to 25,000, where each label works out to around 5 cents.
Which material should I pick for jars that go in the fridge?
There are 5 materials to choose from: uncoated, semi-gloss, hi-gloss, white vinyl and clear. White vinyl is the water resistant option, so it is the one to pick for jars that get chilled, condensate or get handled with wet hands. Uncoated and semi-gloss paper suit jars that live on a dry pantry shelf.
Do you have a size that fits a mason jar lid?
There are 50 sizes to choose from, and many of them are circles, starting from a 0.5 inch circle and going up to a 4.625 inch CD label. Measure the flat top of your lid and pick the circle that sits inside that measurement. If nothing matches, you can order a custom size up to 6 inches by 5 inches.
Can I print the ingredients and batch date on the label?
Yes. The label face prints in full color or in black ink, so an ingredient list, a net weight line and a batch or canning date can all sit on the same label as your name and flavor. Keep small text large enough to stay readable at the size you choose, since some of the circles are under an inch across.
How fast can I get them?
Standard turnaround is 3 business days. If you are up against a farmers market or a gift deadline, there are 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush options, all printed at the New York plant.
Can I see the label before the whole run prints?
Yes. Proof Options include a free online proof, so you can check the artwork on screen before the run goes ahead, and a next day hardcopy proof if you want to see the label in your hand first. Reviewing the proof is the point where you catch a typo in an ingredient line or a date.
