Canning jar label sizing guide

Glass canning jars made by Kerr or Ball are the most common containers for canning foods. Kerr jars work best for labelling because they have smooth sides. Both brands use the same two-piece lids which are also excellent to put labels on.

Two-piece canning lids

• Wide mouth lids: 2.5" circle label fits perfectly.
• Regular mouth lids: 2" circle label fits perfectly.

Quart jars

• Wide mouth and regular mouth quart jars are the same size and shape except for their openings. For both jar shapes, use labels up to 3.75" high. Recommended maximum width 5.5".

Pint jars

• Wide mouth pint jars have slightly angled sides, and no sloped shoulder at the top near the opening. For these jars, use labels up to 2.75" high. Because they angle out only slightly from bottom to top, you can use a wider label if desired - maximum recommended width 4.5".
• Regular mouth pint jars have a sloped shoulder at both the bottom and the top, so the vertical space for labels is smaller. For these jars, use labels up to 2.25" high. They are completely straight sided, so you can use an even wider label if desired - maximum recommended width 5".

Half-pint or 8-ounce jars

• Wide mouth half-pint jars also are even more angled from bottom to top. We recommend using labels that are not very wide or there will be a visible distortion (the labels will begin to 'smile' - they will curve up at the sides). Use labels up to 1.25" high and no more than 2.5" wide.
• Regular mouth half-pint jars are angled from bottom to top, so we recommend using labels that are not very wide or a distortion will be visible. Use labels up to 2" high and no wider than 3".

4-ounce jars

• Use the lid label as the main label. Use labels on the sides of the jars for accessory information like the date, your logo, ingredients, etc. For the jar sides, use labels up to 1" high and no more than 2.25" wide.

Half-gallon canning jar

• Use labels up to 5" high.

Different materials for different needs

For small quantities (sheet labels)

• Vinyl labels cost slightly more than paper labels. Vinyl prints vividly with sharp, clear images. It is waterproof, tear-resistant, dishwasher safe, and is easy to remove. It is the best choice if you are going to keep and re-use your jars. The labels are easily removed after soaking in hot water or using a hair dryer on them.
• Paper labels are the lowest cost. Our paper labels print beautifully, with rich, bright colors on a lusciously smooth surface. However paper labels are not waterproof, will not make it through the dishwasher, and are difficult to remove. Paper is a good choice when you are giving away or selling your canned goods. Paper is also good if you need the label to be torn, for example when it is used as a safety seal or when sealing a package that will be opened. And it is good if you want a more environmentally friendly option.

For large quantities (roll labels)

• Bopp (polypropylene) is tearproof, waterproof, and oil-resistant. The design and colors remain vivid even with exposure to moisture, water, oil or refrigeration. Bopp is a hard, shiny surface that prints rich and vivid colors.
• Bopp with laminate matte or gloss. The laminate adds an extra layer of protection and is helpful for products that contain acids or oils. The gloss laminate makes the bopp very shiny and hard. The matte laminate creates a soft, non-reflective look.
• Paper comes textured in smooth, laid or vellum finishes. These create a rich, hand crafted, custom look for your labels. Textured label papers are not waterproof.

Labels and stickers are writable

Paper labels and vinyl labels can be written on to add information. Use a gel pen or permanent marker. You may need to wait a few minutes for the writing to dry thoroughly, depending on the type of marker you use. Test first before writing on a labelled container.
