5 Common Honey Label Materials
Why do You Need Labels on your Honey products?

What is the best Material for Honey Labels?
Labels set a tone and a feeling about your business. Choose a “sweet” label material that helps explain your product and reflects your business. Honey Labels are easily applied to glass or plastic bottles, so your labels need to be made from a flexible and waterproof material to adhere well to your packaged surface. A Vinyl Face stock with permanent adhesive is a great choice.
