Do a search for 'Amy Adele Bee Labels'. Ive heard of several people that have used her service and were very pleased. The labels shown on her website are very basic, but you can send her your ideas and pics and she will design one for you. I would think a Jamaican inspired label would be very sharp looking.

I took the pic, and designed my own label, get them run off at Office Depot.  Shop around find or make what you want.  Find out what your area's requirements are for the label.  If you put weights, it will need to weight atleast what label says.  The honey can be more but not less that posted weight.

I designed my own label and am printing it my self.  I will use 'poster putty' to stick it on the jar.  Just a little smear will stick the corners to the glass; plus, it comes off with no sticky residue.

What about regular Avery labels in the appropriate sizes and printing them off the computer?  Do the labels work pretty good?

Ed if you put your honey is local produce stores or other places and the other honey products have labels I think it would help to have a good looking label.  Something to catch their eye and you have your phone# and maybe e-mail address so the customer can contact you for more.  Have people calling to see if I have some honey yet this year, and last year was first I had sold.

Yeah, a nice looking label should make a difference.

I buy blanks from onlinelabels.com and print them up at home. I use round labels for the tops of my jars I sell... and rectangular for the bears. OnlineLabels.com has design software that you can play around with to design your labels.

Amy Hill - Amy's Bee Labels, she can be reached at amysbeelabels@hotmail.com.  I've done business with her for years.  She's been great to deal with.  If you're wanting your product to stand out as unique give her a try.  As my beekeeping business (and products) has grown she's been able to offer all types of cost effective options that allow me to get the premium price for my efforts.

I use the Avery Weatherproof labels and I'm quite satisfied...My understanding is that the "regular" labels will become quite a mess through the regular handling of a honey bottle.

I do use the weather resistant type for my honey jars and bears and inexpensive type labels for for soaps, lip balms & seeds.
