I am wondering if anyone has gone to a printing company and priced just getting a nice label printed.  We use 2 x 4 mailing labels for all of our jams, jellies, relishes etc:  So far I have been doing them myself, but they are not exactly professional looking.  I’m not sure the cost of a well done label would be really worth it.

We have been printing nice labels and then just using heavy tape and taping the label onto our egg cartons, maybe this would also work on the freezer bags. Photo paper makes a great

Looking label, and you can cut it to whatever size you want.

We are finally getting around to placing some of our winter greens for sale in a local health food store. 

 

I want to put a nice colorful branded label on each bag (will be zip-lock freezer bags) 

 

I think I'll be using a square label, probably around 4x4.

 

I don't think I've ever heard this mentioned before, but am I supposed to use 'weatherproof' labels? 

 

It appears that Avery doesn't make a waterproof ink jet label, but there are waterproof ink jet labels available on-line 

 

I'm wondering what works for the rest of you.

 

These labels are for like quart zip lock freezer bags that will be displayed in an open crisper in the 'produce section' of the health food store.
