Custom label sheet

Measure your sheet with a ruler or copy the numbers from the manufacturer's template. All values in millimetres.

Pitch = distance from the left (top) edge of one label to the left (top) edge of the next.

Homemade preserves deserve a nice label. Round labels of 2″ (5 cm) fit most jar lids; oval and rectangular labels suit the side of the jar.

The starter design has a frame, a title and a small date line. Change the colours, choose a script or serif font, and use mail merge if every jar has a different flavour or batch date.

Tips

  • Measure the lid: a label 3–5 mm smaller than the flat top looks best.
  • Write the batch date — handy for preserves and spices.
  • Water-resistant labels survive the fridge and dishwasher-rinse better.
  • Print one test sheet on paper to check the colours.

FAQ

What size is a canning jar lid label?

Regular-mouth lids take about 2″ (51 mm) round labels; wide-mouth lids about 2.5–3″ (64–76 mm).

Can I make a different label for each jar?

Yes — list flavours and dates in a spreadsheet and use mail merge with {{flavor}} and {{date}}.

Will round labels align correctly?

Round templates place each circle exactly where the manufacturer's template puts it. Print at 100% and use the test page once.
