Labels That Withstand Moisture and Sticky Environments
Jars of jelly and jam are often stored in humid kitchens, getting splashed with water or handled with sticky fingers. To make sure your artwork stays crisp, choose substrates like coated paper or synthetic film stocks that resist moisture, staining, and edge lift. Specialty papers like brown kraft paper lend an earthy, organic vibe to your product, while estate paper creates a luxurious feel perfect for high-end, artisanal products.
Aside from standard white BOPP film, specialty films like clear BOPP create a clean, “no-label” look for your product, while metallic BOPP adds an eye-catching sheen.
Visual Options That Showcase Your Product
Depending on your branding and product aesthetic, you have multiple ways to present your jars. Clear film labels allow the fruit color and texture to show through, while white gloss or matte stocks provide a polished backdrop for your artwork. You can also add protective laminates for moisture resistance and aesthetic upgrades, such as gloss laminate for a premium shine; matte laminate for an understated look; or soft touch laminate for a velvety texture that will make customers want to reach out and grab your jar off the shelf.
Flexible Formats & Custom Finishes to Match Your Jars
Whether your jams are in standard jars, squeezable packaging, or specialty glass containers, you have design flexibility. LabelSwift can create custom labels in any size or shape, so you have options. If you’re interested in the aesthetic upgrades and moisture resistance provided by laminates, but unsure about the thickness it adds to the label, then UV gloss or UV matte coatings can provide many of the same benefits without the bulk.
