Labels for Jars

Creating jar labels is a creative process that requires professional skills in design and layout. The creation of a jar label must combine aesthetics, functionality, and, most importantly, compliance with legal regulations. It must also communicate the essence of the product and brand, creating a positive perception for the consumer.

To summarise the creative steps, to make jar labels you will need to:

• define the purpose of the label based on the product to be labelled;
• measure the jar accurately and determine the space the label will occupy to establish its dimensions;
• choose the label format;
• design the layout, including the arrangement of text and images;
• create a hierarchy between mandatory and optional information;
• choose the printing material and decide whether to apply embellishments.

It is essential to create the correct design file for printing. The label file must meet certain requirements, such as resolution or format, to ensure the print quality meets expectations.

The final step to create your jar labels is to configure their printing online, but first, ensure the design file is correct – refer to our guide for guidance.

To print jar labels, after creating the design file, you will need to set the print parameters using our online configurator. You can customise all aspects of your labels:

• Format, the first option to choose, available in classic shapes, customised shapes, and front-and-back formats.
• Dimensions, where you can simply specify the width and height of the labels in millimetres.
• Printing material, where you select the most suitable substrate for labelling your jars.
• Application, by choosing either manual or machine application.
• Finishes, which include options such as varnishing, lamination, standard hot stamping, 3D foil stamping (cast), 3D screen printing, internal element removal, and die-cutting.
• Quantity, where you can also define a number of graphic variations with corresponding quantities, if applicable.
• File check, which you can request if you have doubts about your design file.

At the end of the configuration, you will see an instant quote, which changes based on the parameters you’ve set. Once customisation is complete, your jar labels will be ready for printing.

There are two ways to create transparent jar labels:

• use a transparent printing material;
• use internal element removal.

By choosing a transparent printing material, you can achieve the so-called "no label look," commonly used to enhance the product’s visibility. To make transparent jar labels using a transparent substrate, you should print your labels on transparent polypropylene, a material that also offers high resistance to abrasion and external elements.

The internal element removal is a finishing applied during the printing process. Also known as depastillage, it involves removing parts of the label through mechanical die-cutting. With internal element removal, you can choose any printing material for your jar labels. The final effect will allow you to see through the jar's glass, exposing the product where elements are cut out.

Choose one of these two methods to make your jar labels transparent, enhancing product visibility, which is an excellent way to attract consumers and positively influence their purchasing decisions.
