The usage scenario: Labelling jam, marmalade, fruit spread in many different varieties with self-adhesive jam jar labels
Do you produce delicious jam, fruit spread, fruit purée, pesto or dips in jars and need a high-quality label? Do you sell your products in your farm shop, at the weekly market or in your online shop? Or do you supply larger quantities to food markets?
Then our individually produced jam jar labels on a roll are just the thing for you to attractively label the many different varieties!
Glass is a very high-quality packaging for all types of food that are individually produced - in manufactories, on farms or in catering businesses. Self-adhesive labels for jam jars are the ideal solution for turning the high-quality contents in the jar into a personalised, appealing product.
What is important for jam jar labels?
If you produce jam or fruit spread in different varieties, vegan spreads, pesto, relish or chutney in jars, you know exactly what is important: the very best ingredients, freshly and safely filled, delivered to the consumer in a timely manner.
The best ingredients - this is also important for the jam jar labels, which give your product an attractive appearance for the buyer.
Appearance is one thing, but jam jar labels also have the task of conveying legally prescribed information (e.g. the filling quantity or the manufacturer's details).
Therefore, jam jar labels must adhere securely to the product and the print must be permanently legible.
HERMA only uses high-quality label materials from its own adhesive material production and reliable finishes for jam jar labels.
Which material is best suited to your jam jar labels?
If your product will be used by consumers for a long time, such as jam, fruit spread or mustard, it is important that the jam labels look good for a long time and do not peel off.
The attractive and high-quality appearance is of course also decisive for sales success in the salesroom, at the weekly market or in the online shop.
Paper labels are more cost-effective than film labels, but jam jar labels made of paper should always be finished with a protective coating or laminating film to make them durable.
Labels made from supple white film, in matt or glossy, give the jam jars a high-quality appearance. The jam jar labels made of film can even be wiped clean with a damp cloth without leaving unsightly water marks on the labels. Additional finishing with protective varnish or laminating film also ensures particularly high durability of the printed image on the foil labels.
The adhesive of the jam jar labels ensures secure adhesion!
Labels for jam jars must fit snugly to the round or square shape of the jars and adhere securely and permanently.
The jam jar labels must be resistant to moisture and temperature, as many of the products mentioned, whether jam or fruit spread, are filled hot into the jar.
When filling hot food into jars, it is particularly important that the adhesive has a very high initial adhesion so that the label adheres to the jar immediately.
And even when the contents cool down and the jar surface cools, which can cause condensation to form on the surface of the jar, the label must not come off.
This is ensured by the particularly high final adhesion and moisture resistance of the adhesive on the jam jar label.
Our adhesive material from our own production, in direct proximity to the label production, offers exactly the right properties for your jam jar labels.
Developed by our adhesive material experts and continuously tested by our application technology department - this ensures quality right from the start!
The most important things in brief: What is important when it comes to labels for jam jars?
- Self-adhesive jam jar labels adhere permanently and securely to jars of all shapes and sizes, not only during filling but also during use by the consumer.
- Labels on jam jars adhere well to the round or square shape of the jar and do not peel off during daily use.
- A high-quality protective coating or film lamination in matt or glossy protects the print from moisture and dirt and makes the jam labels smudge and scratch resistant.
- The adhesive also masters the difficult conditions when filling the hot contents without any problems.

In the digital printing configurator, we recommend the following materials for jam jar labels on a roll:
- PE film, white, glossy, permanently adhesive:
The glossy film surface ensures a high-quality, elegant look. Jam labels made of white film adhere securely and are particularly flexible, ideal for jars of all shapes and sizes. They are heat-resistant and resistant to dirt and moisture. Temperature range - 30 °C to + 95 °C - PE film, transparent, glossy, permanently adhesive:
Are almost invisible on transparent jars with light-coloured contents can create a special effect, the imprint looks as if it has been printed directly onto the glass. This film also adheres securely and is flexible on curved surfaces and resistant to dirt and moisture. Temperature range - 30 °C to + 95 °C. (For transparent labels, please note the information on the use of opaque white in the digital print data). - Paper, matt, strongly adhesive:
Paper labels are more cost-effective than film labels, but jam jar labels made of paper should always be coated with protective varnish or laminating film to achieve greater durability. The adhesive sticks securely in damp and chilled areas. Temperature range - 30 °C to + 80 °C
All label materials used comply with the recommendations of BfR XIV or FDA 21 CFR 175.105.
How do jam jar labels become durable, smudge-proof and scratch-resistant?
