Print round mason jar lid labels for canning, jam, and homemade gifts. No signup, no watermark. Why? →
Free Mason Jar Lid Label Maker prints round labels for jam flavors, salsa varieties, dates, and batch numbers. The default makes 12 fixed 2.5" circles per US Letter sheet (3 columns × 4 rows) for full-sheet sticker paper. Measure the flat inset of your lid before choosing a size; regular and wide-mouth lids vary. A 3" round preset is also available for larger lids. Use full-sheet sticker paper and cut to size, or open the exact Avery 22807 template for compatible pre-cut 2" sheets. Your data stays in your browser.
Measure the flat lid inset, inside the raised rim, and choose a label diameter that fits. The default prints fixed 2.5" circles, 12 per sheet (3 columns × 4 rows) for full-sheet sticker paper. For pre-cut 2" Avery 22807 sheets, use the exact Avery 22807 template. For a larger lid with enough flat space, the 3" Rounds preset prints 6 per sheet (2 columns × 3 rows). Lid dimensions vary, so test a plain-paper circle on the jar before printing adhesive labels.
Not with a home printer. Canning lids are coated metal and won't accept inkjet or laser ink. Stickers are the standard method. For labels that may be wiped or handled often, use printable vinyl plus a self-adhesive laminate sheet and test before washing. The metal lid itself is single-use after canning anyway, so most home canners use kraft labels for charm and don't worry about durability beyond the gift recipient.
Apply labels after canning, not before. The boiling water and steam will destroy paper labels and warp vinyl. Once jars are sealed and fully cooled (12+ hours), the lids are dry and ready for labels. Wipe each lid with rubbing alcohol first to remove any oil, and the sticker will adhere cleanly for a year or more.
For everyday gifts: kraft sticker paper looks beautifully rustic and matches the homemade aesthetic. For wet environments (pickles, ferments stored in the fridge): vinyl sticker paper is essential. Paper labels will peel when condensation builds. For long pantry storage: matte sticker paper plus a date written in pencil holds up for 1–2 years.
Yes. For canned goods, include the contents and the month/year you canned. Most home-canned foods are best within 12 months. Type entries like Strawberry Jam · [month/year] and the auto-fit will scale text to fit. For batch-tracking large canning sessions, use a separate small batch number sticker on the side of the jar.
Yes. Leave a blank space in your label name (e.g., Jam. _____) and fill in the date or specific flavor by hand with a fine-tip permanent marker. This is the canning trick: print a generic label sheet once, hand-write the specifics each time you can. Saves dozens of one-off prints over the season.
Yes, but use printable vinyl or laminated labels for jars that will see condensation. Paper labels are fine for pantry gifts and dry storage, but fridge and freezer jars need a moisture-resistant surface.
Lid labels are easiest for jam, pickles, and pantry storage because jars remain readable from above. Side labels are better when jars sit on shelves at eye level or when you need more room for ingredients.
Yes. Type the flavor once and use Tile / repeat, or customize one cell and choose Duplicate this cell to all cells. This is useful for a full batch of identical jam or salsa jars.
At minimum include the food name and month/year canned. For gifts, add batch notes, spice level, or a short message. Long ingredient lists usually fit better on side labels than lid labels.
