How to Evenly Apply Labels to Spice Jars
Application is everything regarding labels, mainly if you use them to make gifts or things you want to look pretty in your home. If you're going to label your spice jars perfectly and evenly, you need to do the following:
Prepare your jars
First, clean the jars. Frequent rubbing alcohol wipes from the medicine cabinet work well on the glass. For other materials, spot-test the bottom first to ensure you won't damage the surface. It's best to use a lint-free cloth or paper towel so you don't leave lint or other debris behind. Allow the jar to dry thoroughly.
Stabilize the jar.
You can wedge it between two heavy objects on a table or between your knees. If you have a helper who can hold it for you, that works well too.
Label it
Once your jar is stabilized, peel off the label backing and hold the edge of the spice label. Place the label on the jar and find something to align it with, such as a crease in the glass or a border like the rim or bottom of the jar. Finally, press down on the center and smooth the label toward the edge.
In most cases, once you have followed the above steps, there is no need to perform any other actions. However, sometimes air bubbles are unavoidable. In this case, use a small sharp needle to poke a hole in the bubble. Then press down to smooth the bead until the air is released and the dot disappears.
Now step back and admire your custom spice jars!
Whether you make these spice jars for yourself, your family, or your friends, everyone will love them!
Tips for applying and maintaining spice jar labels
Proper application and maintenance of spice jar labels ensures a clean and professional appearance as well as longevity. Here are some helpful tips to consider:
Make sure the canister is clean and dry before applying the label. Any residue or moisture may affect the adhesion.
Carefully place the label on the jar, starting at one edge and smoothing it out to avoid bubbles or wrinkles.
For clear jars, consider placing the label on the back to prevent smudging or damage during use.
Use a straightedge or ruler to align labels for a neat, uniform look.
Maintain adhesive quality:
Avoid excessive contact with water or moisture, which may cause labels to peel or lose their adhesive properties. Gently wipe the jar when cleaning.
Choose a waterproof or water-resistant labeling material if you expect your kitchen to be exposed to moisture.
Store spice jars away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as prolonged exposure can cause labels to fade or degrade over time.
Check labels regularly for signs of peeling or wear. If necessary, replace labels immediately to maintain a polished appearance.
