Lip Balm Tube Labels with Security Seal, 2 x 2.15 in.

A standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube takes a 2 x 2.15 in. label. These lip balm labels wrap the tube and add a security seal tab that folds over the cap, so a buyer can see the tube has not been opened. They print at home, 12 to a sheet: 60 labels in a 5-sheet pack, 180 in the 3-pack and 360 in the 6-pack, from a free Canva template sized to the wrap and the seal.

What size label fits a lip balm tube?

A 2 x 2.15 in. label fits a standard 0.15 oz lip balm or chapstick tube: the 2 in. width wraps the tube, the 1.775 in. panel below the perforation covers the body, and the 0.375 in. tab above it folds over the cap.

How the security seal works

The label is one piece with a perforation across it. Wrap the main panel around the tube first, then fold the narrow tab up over the closed cap and press it down on the far side. Opening the balm tears the tab, which gives a small-batch maker the same tamper-evident seal a store brand has.

Which material?

• Waterproof white vinyl (inkjet only): the usual choice for lip balm. It resists the oils and butters in the balm and prints in full color.
• Brown kraft (inkjet or laser): a natural, handmade look for small-batch and organic brands. A light coat of clear overcoat spray helps it stand up to handling in a pocket or bag.
• Clear gloss (inkjet only): a no-label look on white or colored tubes.

Kraft lip balm labels for natural and handmade brands

Brown kraft says handmade before anyone reads a word: beeswax, shea butter, a batch poured at the kitchen table. It suits natural and organic lines, farmers market stalls and herbal makers whose tubes go into recycled-paper boxes or twine-tied gift bags. Kraft is brown, so light and bright colors print darker than they do on white; black or one deep color gives the cleanest result. It is also the material to choose if your shop prints on a laser printer, since the white vinyl and clear gloss are inkjet only.

Packs for a full batch

Lip balm is poured in batches, and a batch rarely comes out at exactly 60 tubes. The 3-pack holds 15 sheets and 180 labels and the 6-pack holds 30 sheets and 360, in white vinyl or brown kraft. A single pack works out to $2.55 a sheet, the 3-pack to $2.00 and the 6-pack to $1.67, so each tube costs less to label the more you pour. For an Etsy shop restocking a best seller, or a craft fair table that needs every flavor labeled the night before, one larger pack covers the whole batch in a single order.

Printing tips

Open template #8387 in Canva, or download the Word, Pages, PDF or JPG files from the lip balm label template page. Keep the flavor name and your logo on the front of the main panel, and put ingredients and your shop name on the part that wraps to the back. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet to the light to check that the seal tab lines up, then print on the labels. Let inkjet prints dry for 10 to 15 minutes before peeling.

Lip balm labels suit small-batch makers, Etsy shops, private label clients, and wedding or shower favors. For the rest of a skincare line, the roller bottle labels fit 10 ml rollers, and the lip balm labels page collects the labels that fit balm tubes.
