Spice Jar Label Maker

Label a whole spice rack consistently. At 1.5 inches (40 mm) the label fits the lid of most standard spice jars — type the name, pick a font, print 35 to a sheet.

Which jars this fits

At 40 mm space is tight: one line in readable type is the realistic maximum, and two lines only work for short words. That suits spices well — "paprika", "cumin", "oregano" are short. The real gain is consistency: a spice rack where every jar carries the same typeface and the same label size is far faster to scan than one with assorted stickers. Thirty-five fit on an A4 sheet, so a single run labels an entire rack.

Compatible label sheets

You can print on plain paper and cut along the marks, or use a pre-cut sheet made for this format:

Avery Zweckform 5080Ø 40 mm round, white, removable. 240 labels on 10 A4 sheets — removable matters here, because spice jars get refilled.
Plain paperPrint and cut out. At 40 mm a clean cut matters more, because small irregularities are proportionally more visible.

How to print these labels

  1. 1Pick your paper format in the toolbar — A4 or US Letter. The label count per sheet updates automatically.
  2. 2Type your label text directly on the preview. Each label is edited in place, so what you see is what prints.
  3. 3Set the font, size and colour per label. Keep one convention across a shelf; mixed styles are far more obvious on a shelf than on screen.
  4. 4Print a test page on plain paper first and hold it against the binder to check the size before using cardstock or a label sheet.
  5. 5In the print dialog set scaling to 100% and turn off "fit to page", which silently shrinks the label by a few millimetres.
  6. 6Cut along the dashed marks. A trimmer gives a straighter edge than scissors, which shows once the label is on the spine.

At 40 mm you get 35 labels in a 5 × 7 grid per A4 sheet — that is a lot of cuts. Print a test page and check the diameter with a ruler before cutting a full sheet.
