Make a Homemade Batch Look Like a Shelf Product
A standard food label carries your brand, the flavor, the batch date and the ingredients, and it has to last in a fridge, on a pantry shelf and in a wet hand. Small food makers use it to cap honey jars, wrap hot sauce bottles and date bags of coffee. A set of 25 starts at $23.88, rated 5.0 out of 5 in an early review.
We print them on one side with an adhesive back, so your art faces out and the back sticks to the container. To compare them with the rest of our labels, browse every option on labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A set of 25 at $23.88, about 96 cents a label, covers the first batch of a new recipe. A stall with 12 products for a season can put all 12 designs in one order and move down the ladder. Tap any tier below to see the set total at that count.
What Are Standard Food Labels
Standard food labels are print-and-stick adhesive labels made for food and packaged goods, printed full color or black ink on one side, in 50 sizes from a half-inch circle up to a 4.625" CD label, on any of 5 materials. Customers put them on jars, bottles, spice caps, jam and honey lids, canning tops and packaged snacks. Because they are single sided and stick flat, one order can cover a whole shelf of products. If you want a heavier, more premium build for the same job, the Premium Food Labels run thicker materials, and the standard sits right beside them as the value pick.
What Size Should a Food Label Be
Choose the size by the container. The small circles, starting at a half inch, are made for spice jar lids, honey caps, and canning tops. Step up through 1" and 1.25" and larger rounds for candles, sauces, and jams. Need a rectangle for a bottle neck or a box panel? Those are in the set too, all the way up to the 4.625" CD label size, and if none is exact you can set a custom size up to 6" x 5". All 50 sizes, the full material list and both ink options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. When the same brand needs a matching drink label, the Standard Beverage Labels use the same setup, and broader jobs fit the Standard Product Labels.
Three choices decide how the label works on your container.
Pick a material that survives the container
The material decides how the label holds up. Standard Uncoated is the matte, paper-feel option for dry goods and a hand-written batch date. Standard Semi-Gloss and Standard Hi-Gloss add shine and resist a little moisture, which suits sauces, oils, and anything that leaves the fridge sweating. Standard White Vinyl is the durable pick for bottles, jars, and cold storage, and Standard Clear disappears on glass for a no-label look on kombucha, cold brew, or a premium spirit.
Print full color or keep it black
Print full 4 color to match your brand across the whole label, or black ink only when a clean, single-color batch stamp is all you need and you want to keep a big run cheap. Both ink options print on the face only.
Proof it before it prints
You do not have to gamble on the file. Go straight to production when you trust your art, take a free online proof to check the layout on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real material in your hand. Grab a press-ready blank first so your design lands at the right trim.

How Much Do Standard Food Labels Cost
Standard food labels start at $23.88 per set of 25, about 96 cents each, and the per-label price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so the size of the run sets the price per label. A run of 300 is $65.97, 900 is $94.25, and 4,000 is $283.97, which brings each label down to roughly 7 cents. You also earn 4OVER4 loyalty coins on the order, worth up to 11% off a future run, and if you find a lower price elsewhere the Price Match beats a real competitor quote by an extra 10% - the 110% price-match guarantee.

How Do Food Labels Compare to the Rest of the Range
This is our lowest priced food label. If you are also looking at a heavier premium build, a matching drink label or a broader product label, the chart below puts the starting price of each next to this one.
How Fast Can You Get Food Labels
Standard food labels print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of the New York facility. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Order by the daily cutoff and a same day job ships that afternoon. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Standard Food Labels: Frequently Asked Questions
Are food labels printed on both sides?
No, they print single sided on an adhesive back, so the whole design sits on the face that faces the buyer. Everything you need on the label, the brand name, flavor, net weight, ingredient panel and batch date, has to fit on that one printed side. Choose a size with enough room for the ingredient text before you finalize the artwork.
Which stock holds up on a bottle that gets refrigerated?
Of the 5 materials, Standard White Vinyl is the durable choice for containers that get cold, damp or handled often, and Standard Clear film is the pick when you want the bottle to show through. The uncoated, semi-gloss and hi-gloss papers are better suited to dry pantry and shelf storage.
What size label works on a small jar lid versus a bottle front?
There are 50 sizes, starting at a half inch circle sized for a jar lid and running up to a 4.625 inch CD label for a large front panel. If your container needs something in between or outside that range, a custom size up to 6 inches by 5 inches can be ordered.
How much cheaper is a bigger run?
A set of 25 starts at $23.88, and the per label price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs through the tiers all the way to 25,000. If you know you will produce several batches this season, ordering the larger quantity once costs less per label than repeating small sets.
Can I check the artwork before you print the whole batch?
Yes. A free online proof is part of Proof Options, so you can lock the artwork on screen before production starts. That is the moment to double check an allergen line or a spelling in an ingredient list, since the printed run will match the file you approve.
How long does printing take if I have a market this weekend?
Standard turnaround is 3 business days. For a tighter deadline there are 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush options at checkout, so a batch labeled Friday can still make a weekend market.
