my labels target the tourist industry.   I live in a lake michigan white sand shoreline town that more than quadruples in population in the summer months.   My label is a pic of a Ludington icon the lighthouse.  The company name is Ludington honey.  They stand out above all others.

I'm not sure how to post a picture, but I can describe it.  The name of my apiary is Sunny Bee Honey Farm, so the picture on my label is a sunflower with a bee on it. 

Further, I ordered 7"w x 2"h labels from onlinelabels.com and divided the space into thirds (the middle being a bit wider) so the picture and majority of legal information is on the front of the mason jar, a message describing my apiary is on one side of the jar and the nutritional information for honey is on the other side of the jar.

This is my first year with all this, so we'll see how it goes, but the picture is really pretty!

Are you looking for idea?  What are  you calling your honey?

How do you get your design though? Are you guys going to a printing company and telling them what you want or are you designing it on a computer yourself? If the latter, what program are you using?

also many of the bee supply places not listed here do labels.
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

I use the print your own label with the biscuit on it from Brushy Mountain.  Very easy to do once I got the  wife to set it up on the computer for me.   :-D
