What information must I legally include on a honey label in Australia?
In Australia, honey sold to the public must comply with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) requirements. Your label should typically include: product name (e.g., "Pure Australian Honey"), net weight in grams or kilograms, country of origin, ingredients (even if just "pure honey"), producer or supplier name and address, batch or lot number, and a Nutrition Information Panel (NIP). A "best before" date is also strongly recommended. Always check the current FSANZ Food Standards Code and your state food authority's rules before selling honey commercially.
What size honey label do I need for my jar?
Label size depends on your jar shape and size. As a general guide: round labels for jar lids are typically 50–60mm in diameter, front labels for 250–500g jars are usually 60–80mm wide, and wraparound long labels should match your jar's circumference. If you're unsure which size suits your jar, contact us with your jar dimensions, and we'll recommend the right fit.
What types of honey labels do you offer?
We stock a complete range of honey labels for every jar style: round labels (great for jar lids and small jars), long wraparound labels (perfect for cylindrical jars and longer ingredient lists), square labels (clean, modern look for larger display areas), hexagonal labels (premium, boutique appeal), and nutrition fact labels. All our labels are pre-printed and designed to suit standard Australian honey jars and bottles.
Are your honey labels suitable for both glass and plastic jars?
Yes — our honey labels are made with a strong, food-safe adhesive that bonds well to both glass jars and plastic honey containers, including PET and polypropylene bottles. For best results, make sure the jar surface is clean and dry before applying, and smooth the label from the centre outwards to avoid air bubbles.
Which honey label style should I choose for my brand?
Choose based on your jar shape and the look you want. Round labels suit jar lids, small jars, and minimalist branding. Long wraparound labels are ideal when you have lots of information to display. Square labels work well on larger jars and create a modern, clean look. Hexagonal labels give a premium, boutique feel — perfect for gift jars and gourmet honey. Many beekeepers use a combination — e.g., a round label on the lid and a long wraparound for ingredients and nutrition info.
Are your honey labels waterproof and fade-resistant?
Yes. Our honey labels are printed with high-quality, fade-resistant inks and designed to handle the moisture, condensation, and handling that honey jars typically experience. They hold up well in pantry, market stall, and refrigerated conditions, keeping their vibrant look for the life of your honey jar.
Do honey labels come in bulk packs or rolls?
Yes — our honey labels are available in convenient quantity packs and rolls (such as rolls of 100) to suit beekeepers of every scale. Hobbyists can buy smaller quantities for personal or gift use, while commercial honey producers can save with bulk pricing. Buying in bulk is the most cost-effective option if you're packing multiple jars regularly.
How do I apply honey labels neatly?
For a professional finish: clean and dry the jar surface first, peel the label slowly from one corner, align it carefully before pressing down, then smooth from the centre outwards to push out air bubbles. If you're applying many labels, a simple jar-labelling tool or labelling jig can speed things up dramatically.
Do I need a Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) on my honey labels?
Yes — under FSANZ rules, most honey sold to the public in Australia requires a Nutrition Information Panel showing serving size, energy (kJ), protein, fat, carbohydrates, sugars, and sodium per serve and per 100g. Some small-scale or direct-sale exemptions may apply, so check with your local food authority. We stock pre-printed nutrition fact labels to make compliance easier.
Why should I use professional honey labels instead of plain stickers?
Professional honey labels do three things plain stickers can't: they build customer trust (clear info = a more credible product), they make your honey look retail-ready (boosting perceived value and shelf appeal), and they help build brand recognition (consistent labelling across jars makes your honey memorable). Customers buy with their eyes — and a well-designed label can be the difference between a glance and a sale.
