Free, Printable Canning Labels

Nik Minor
After spending hours preparing your fruits and vegetables for canning, the last thing you may want to do is spend another few hours designing and creating labels for your canned goods. Fortunately, you don't have to. Other computer savvy, creative, canning enthusiasts have created dozens of styles of labels that you can use to label your canned fruits and vegetables. Print any one of the following free labels for your canned goods.

As well, if you know someone who loves to can, free labels might make an excellent gift. Print and fill them out (if you happen to know what they love to can) and affix them to a couple of jars.

While the following canning labels are free, be sure to read the Terms of Use for each site. If you intend to sell your canned goods, you may be prohibited from using certain labels.

    Great information and tips.

    I have nothing to can-can. And so nothing to label. Good article though!

  • Carly Hart4/28/2010

    I'm afraid I'd have to learn how to can. I am more of a show me as you do it kind of person. I don't think I'm teachable by video!

    Great information, cheers :)

    Thanks, but I'm one of those people who are more interested in getting out what's in jars than putting stuff into them.
