Mason Jar Labels
- Thread starter Mopiper
- Start date
Once upon a time I used Emery labels with a red font that matched the bulk labels from my local tobacconist shop but … yeah, the shop is long gone and I’m far too lazy now plus the (possibility in my own head) cool factor is just not there anymore.
I have seen printed repros of the tin art scanned and cut to fit mason jar tops but that was before the Orwellian horror show and nanny state you’re gonna die a horrible death and your penis will fall off tin warnings and photos made that a bother.
Now I just bang a piece of tape or such on the jar lid with a handwritten note with the blend name and when bought.
Less faffing about and more smoking. I did rather enjoy the labels at the time but it was mostly because my jars on the bookshelf replicated the look of my local shop’s display but Im the only one who would get the reference now so … meh.

I just repurpose the packaging. Scissors and some glue to affix them to the jars.

Simple process. I’ve also uploaded several too. I believe the last was MacBaren Latakia Roll Cake.

Looks neat. I dont have a printer at home though.
Just a piece of white gaffer's tape and a sharpie.
There’s always public library.
How many labels do you need?
Plain white circle and sharpie for me.
I jar pouches (when I open them) and large tubes, not tins. I use parts of the original package or find material in the Internet (e.g. logo e.t.c.) and print it.
Yes, I make my own. I use a fancy brown sticker and a sharpie.
I saw that and starting laughing!
I've been doing this and just realized if I empty a jar I'll need to do that, lol. Labels it is!
Well I'm not sure how many and which ones I will need yet.
I use the washable labels and a sharpie. Just wash off the old label and a fix a new when required, labels are marketed by Ball same folks that do the jars.
Masking tape and a Sharpie here.
I'm one of these ancients who has a printer hooked up to my PC, so I can select one of dozens of type faces and write the name of the blender, the blend, the date received (sometimes). I don't add any pretty art, but I like the look of a printed-out label. I try to pick up the little label with the Scotch tape and affix it to the front or top of the jar. As we know, I'm not a photo guy, but, for me, if it isn't in print, it didn't happen.

Hmm, looks like it might be time to order some more Pegasus? ?
If Post-it Notes count, then yes.
I'm a graphic designer by trade, I print out mason jar top labels for everything. If I don't particularly like a brand's circular label or it doesn't have one I'll design my own.
Recently did some designs for some of the Sutliff bulks I'm pretty happy with. All in all it's a fun part of the hobby and brings a smile to my face when a drawer full of jars are all beautifully labeled.
