How Do I Design My Own Label?

When you're creating custom labels, you want to design something unique that people will recognize. You can let your creativity run wild and design your honey label according to your personal preferences. Whether modern and simple or playful with various graphics and images, tastes differ. The important thing is that everyone should be able to create their very own dream label.

 

Below, we will show you some designs and design suggestions that can serve as inspiration. You'll also learn how to use our convenient online designer to easily create and order your own label from home.

Some people like a subtle look, while others go for bold and unique designs. But when it comes to designing a label, the big question is: Where do I start?

honeystickers.com has two options to help you out. First, we have a selection of pre-designed labels that you can personalize to suit your needs. You can tweak the text or change up the graphics to fit your style. We've put together a range of different styles for you, which we update regularly. Choose your favorite design and use it as a starting point.

 

The second option is to create your label from scratch on a blank canvas. You can start from zero and design everything according to your preferences—from the background to the graphics and text. You can upload your own images or graphics, or use our existing elements and backgrounds from the online editor.

 

With these simple steps, you can create your own custom honey label without any prior design experience.

 

To give you an idea of what our online designer can do, here are some examples to inspire you:

How It Works – Tips and Tricks for Our Online Designer

As we said before, you can get lots of different options for customizing your honey labels online. Once you've found the perfect label, just click on the "Personalize" button to get started.

 

First, you'll notice some helpful tools around the label. For instance, there's a legend showing you how to place images and texts correctly. The bleed line, die-cut line, and safety margin are color-coded and labeled.

 

The ruler next to the label helps you correctly size important information, like the filling quantity, and estimate the overall size of the label.

 

Personalizing Pre-Designed Labels

 

If you like a design from our series, you can use it as a basis, and then modify the text and move, delete, or swap elements. In most of our designs, the background is fixed and cannot be changed. This is perfect if you already like the general layout and just want to add your own text.

 

In case you prefer to design your honey label entirely from scratch, we recommend using the empty "Free Freddie" design. This is a completely blank label, allowing you to create everything from A to Z according to your ideas.

 

Using Your Own Images or Our Library

 

At the top of the designer, you'll see all the elements already in the design, along with a "+" button. Clicking this button gives you three options:

 

Add Text: Create a new text element and choose a font that matches your design. Pro tip: Don't use more than two fonts in one design to keep it looking clean.

 

Add Image: Upload a graphic from your device (supported formats: png, jpg, jpeg, pdf, etc.). For example, you can add your existing company logo.

 

Add Artwork: Select elements from our extensive library of graphics and backgrounds that you can use freely in your design. You can browse the menu on the left or enter a search term in the search bar.

 

Our library offers a wide variety of graphics in different styles and is regularly updated. You can easily design your honey label even without your own graphics.

 

Tip: Use shapes from the library in a creative way by enlarging them significantly and positioning them so they’re partially cut off. This gives you a new shape in the background for a unique effect.

 

Get to Know All the Features

 

Take the time to explore all the features of our online designer. There are some hidden gems that may not be immediately obvious, but they’re extremely helpful for creating your honey labels.

 

When you insert or edit text, you can adjust not only the font but also the alignment and spacing manually. Sometimes, adjusting the spacing between letters or lines can make text look nicer and more legible.

 

For both text and graphic elements, it’s not always easy to align objects perfectly in the center of the label by hand. That’s where the "Position" button comes in handy. It allows you to align elements with just one click or move them up and down through layers.

 

Saving Your Design

 

Once you’ve created your design and want to use it for your honey, you can save it. In the online editor, click on the three dots at the bottom next to the "Add to cart" button. Two options will appear: "Save Design" and "My Designs." Click on "Save Design," give it a suitable name, and next time, you'll easily find it under "My Designs."

 

Our tip: If you harvest different varieties of honey, you can save the labels for each variety, so it’s easy to reorder them whenever you need.

 

Summing up

 

When it comes to designing honey labels, the more unique, the more memorable they are. With creative or beautifully designed labels, you can stand out from the competition. If you'd rather not spend money on expensive agencies, you can easily bring your ideas to life with honeystickers' intuitive online designer. You can use your own logo, existing elements from our designs, or additional graphics from the library. With a little bit of imagination, you can create your very own dream label!
