Labels for preserves

To create labels for your preserves, start with the design. A well-designed label should be eye-catching, but also functional and informative. Therefore, it is crucial to analyse the content that needs to be included on the label and organise it in a hierarchy. Start with the mandatory information, referring to the regulations in the food sector, and any specific rules for the type of preserve you need to label. Then, add any data and elements that help create a deeper connection with the consumer, which can increase the perceived value of the product.

Once the content is defined, you can already think about the space it will need to occupy and start creating your label in a graphics program, preferably Adobe Illustrator. Set the dimensions and format, consider bleeds and margins before inserting the content, choose CMYK colours, and carefully evaluate all aspects to create the file correctly. You can refer to our guidelines for creating a print file.

Once your design is ready, you can create your jam labels in our configurator, following the logic used for the design process. Set step by step:

• format,
• dimensions,
• printing material,
• application type,
• finishes,
• quantity.

If necessary, you can also request a file check. Our technicians will ensure that your design meets all the necessary printing requirements and will correct any errors if found.

To choose the right printing material for preserve labels, start by considering the type of preserve to be labelled. There are preserves of fruits, legumes, vegetables, but also sauces, condiments, and pickles; the label must be more or less resistant depending on the type of product and how it will be used and stored.

You can select the most suitable material from those used for food product labelling:

• Natural and premium paper substrates, including the most exclusive papers and those resistant to moisture and water, as well as stain-resistant papers.
• Eco-friendly papers, such as recycled Birch and Giardino eden.
• Paper substrates with a smooth finish, like Coated and Glossy Coated papers.
• Plastic substrates, including Polypropylenes.

You can print labels for various types of preserves with our graphic variants. You can use this option – available under the “quantity” section in our configurator – when your labels differ in terms of design. For instance, if you need to print labels for three types of sauces where only the name and ingredient list change, graphic variants are the ideal solution. You can order all three label versions together with just one configuration.

You only need to specify the number of graphic variants and the quantity of labels for each. Remember that parameters such as format, dimensions, printing material, and embellishments must remain the same for all versions; only the design changes.

Graphic variants offer a great opportunity for those needing to print labels for preserves from the same line, which are very similar to each other. Customising all versions together will result in significant time and cost savings.
