<< <   I may have missed conversation on labels, but  would like to know
   where everyone gets their labels?    I have extra honey to sell this
  year and will need labels.    What should I look out for when ordering?
   5  years ago I bought a jar of honey....put the jar thru the dishwasher
  many times and label still looks pretty good.  I don't think I will be
  needing that expensive a label, but was still amazed.

This is a very late reply but I have been laid oup again. I ama small
producer only a couple of hundred pounds per year.I make up my labels using
any of several programs.The layout has to fit bottle chosen, using Print
Master Gold, or Microsoft word we ahve come up with some nice designs. The
minor dimension is just underunder 1-3/4 inches. The layout may provide as
many as twenty labels fper
per sheet. Take it to a color copier cna get them done for about 75cents a
sheet.
Shear the labels from the sheet. lay them face down on two inch wide Scotch
tape clear tape.Press them on bottle and the labelis very durable,cheap,
easily modified for special uses. Find that they will go through dish washer
abuse. Willsend samples if interested.If you donthave a omputer find someone
in neighborhoodd.
It is fun and enjoyable work. I usually have two like lables a season with 12
and 16 oz weight  references. Communicate if interested I can make up samples
for you.
