Whether used for eye cream, candle wax, spice blends, or body butter, these 2-ounce jars & containers require labels that are just as durable. Properly designing your 2 oz jar labels involves more than knowing the correct size and material; it requires attention to details that turn homemade products into professional, retail-ready items.

Where to Buy 2 oz Jar Labels?
I think finding the correct 2 oz jar labels starts with understanding your exact measurements. Most 2 oz jars require labels measuring 3.4 x 0.93 inches for wrap-around coverage, though straight-sided jars might use different dimensions.
The "18-up" format (18 labels per sheet) has become the industry standard for this size, making it easy to find compatible templates and supplies for 2 oz jar labels.

Can Printable Labels really be Waterproof?
Yes, they can be submerged and are resistant to oil and condensation, making them suitable for cosmetics, food, or bath products.
Inkjet printers work well for waterproof labels. For complete waterproofing with inkjet printers, wait 24 hours for the ink to cure.
To enhance water resistance, we suggest applying a clear coat - Krylon matte or high-gloss clear coat seal spray, or a similar product - to fully seal the ink.
The Perfect Size: Why 3.4" x 0.93"?
Answer: This size is ideal as a "full wrap" for most standard 2-oz straight-sided jars. It's also perfect for fully wrapping standard lip balm tubes.

Step Two: Design Tips for Small Labels
Since 2 oz jar labels are less than an inch high, you will need to be very aware of your font sizes. When choosing your fonts, opt for bold, clear fonts that are easy to read at small sizes. We recommend Open Sans, Gabriel Sans, or similar fonts that print clearly at small sizes. It is also recommended not to set the font below 7px and to print a test page to assess the quality of small print on your home printer.
Please review your safe zones. Labels shift and move as they print, and the best way to ensure you do not lose your design is to keep a decent buffer zone around the edges of your labels, where it is fine for them to shift while printing.
Printer Settings for Professional 2 oz Jar Labels
Our favorite tips for printing labels:
Make sure your print settings are 100%. If you have your settings at FIT, they may not line up with the die-cut sheet labels.
Print on a test page of plain paper before loading your vinyl labels. Use a test run to ensure your design is correct and the font is clear. This will guarantee a professional appearance for your 2 oz jar labels.
Change your paper type to "Labels," "Heavy Paper," "Glossy Photo Paper," or "Transparency."
Change your print quality to high.
