Frequently Asked Questions

What information is legally required on honey jar labels?

You need to include the product name like "Raw Honey" or "Wildflower Honey." Add the net weight and your business name with address. Most places require the country of origin too. Check your local rules to stay compliant and avoid problems.

What is a Muth jar and why is it popular for honey?

It is an octagonal glass jar made for honey in the 1800s by Charles Muth. The eight flat sides stop jars from rolling. They display honey beautifully from all angles. Beekeepers love them because they look classic and vintage.

How do I remove labels from glass honey jars for reuse?

Soak jars in hot soapy water for 20-30 minutes. Most labels peel off easily after that. For sticky residue, use cooking oil, rubbing alcohol, or baking soda paste. Rub gently with a soft sponge so you don't scratch the glass. Rinse clean and your jars are ready to use again.

Should honey labels be waterproof?

Yes, waterproof labels are definitely better. Honey jars get wet from refrigeration and handling. Condensation forms on cold jars. Waterproof labels don't smear or fade. Your jars keep looking professional the whole time they're on the shelf.

What size label fits an 8 oz Muth jar?
