TPG-SSolutions / Product labels / Jarred foods (honey, jam, salsa)
Custom labels for jarred foods (honey, jam, salsa).
Jarred foods are sold on looks, often at farmers' markets and specialty shops. The label must stay on through refrigeration, sticky fingers and washing, and carry the required food information.
What jarred foods (honey, jam, salsa) packaging has to do.
- 01Label stockPaper labels look artisan but stain; BOPP film with a laminate resists sticky spills and condensation.
- 02Food labelingFDA labels need identity, net weight, ingredients, allergens and the maker's name and address. Honey has its own FDA labeling guidance; jams have a standard of identity (21 CFR 150).
- 03FitMeasure the label panel on the jar, not just its height; curved shoulders cause wrinkles.
- 04Tamper evidenceA lid label or seal strip across the lid shows a jar has not been opened.

The common name 'honey', net weight, and the packer's name and address at minimum. Follow FDA's honey labeling guidance for blends or flavoured honey.
