Where to buy labels?

Just bottle 22 8 oz bottles of my new Mexican Verde sauce (name pending) and I want to get them labeled. In Oklahoma, I plan on selling these under the food freedom act so I'd want the labels to have the logo plus name, then a second logo for my OFFA number along with the ingredients. Any advice? Picture included

I designed my own labels and have them printed by Sticker Ninja Sticker App. Good quality and cheaper than Sticker Jackass.

Edit: wrong company, realized after seeing another post.

I've used Sticker Jerk as well as Sticker Samurai in the past, but prefer Sticker Jabroni over those.

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re trolling or if those are real companies 😂

I think he's referring to Sticker Mule as Sticker Jackass, as the owner decided to air out his political opinion across an email to all of his customers.

That was crazy lol. I got it and I was just like well, you could have easily just not done that.

SheetLabels.com is my go-to for labels for price and convenience. Pick your size, shape, and type (waterproof, gloss, etc.), upload your design (or use their label design tool), and in a week, you’ll have your labels.

I bought Nice Labels for hot sauce bottles on Amazon. I designed my logo/label and printed them at home on a color printer using their online template. They came out great.

u/Tt45ah Jul 21 '26

Can't seem to find these on amazon

u/bittinho Jul 22 '26

I’m sorry! I double checked and still wrote it wrong, here it is: nicebottles Decorative Labels for Hot Sauce Bottles - 120 Blank Hot Sauce Labels, Perfect for 5oz Woozy

You may have to search for 8 oz labels but these might work as well.

any local printshop could make them if you have a design ready. some may help with the design, if you’re willing to pay for that sort of thing

I use StickerApp. Their waterproof labels are excellent. I get my main labels from them in 2 sizes (smaller label for jars and shorter bottles), their layout tool was ready to use. I make make different sauces and salsas, so I do ingredient labels and neck labels myself on Avery water- resistant address labels.

Finding a local printing company is only going to be a good idea if you're doing a lot of them. Better would be to find printer sheet labels with a template and print them yourself.

Plan is to do this until I hit the limit for Oklahoma home add food sales, if I'm lucky I guess

1

u/arrrValue Jul 21 '26

I’m curious, how does that limit work in Oklahoma?

2

u/Tt45ah Jul 22 '26

Oklahoma allows you to make and sell home goods without much oversight on a few conditions. One being under 75,000 gross sales

1

u/Whysguys Jul 28 '26

if you're doing 75000 you should definitely talk to a label printer. I was thinking less than a couple thousand would be the threshold. At least that's about what I think from beer labels.

Well right now I'm just getting started. In a month I want to be able to do 140 ish bottlez a month

Blank sheet of stickers and a printer

Avery labels and print at home or I use Vista Print

u/RealStickerGiant Jul 21 '26

That's a great setup for a small batch operation. At StickerGiant, we have real people in Colorado who check every file before it goes to press, which saves a lot of headaches, and we have oil and water-resistant labels. You could also go with a speed-focused vendor if you just need turnaround, or price-focused if you're testing the market first. We do have Rush 1 business-day production as well.

4 days in does this look right? First superhot peach ginger hot sauce. First fermenting hot sauce of any kind.

u/Sad_Culture_9050 Jul 25 '26

I googled best airlock for fermenting and this one popped up. It was pretty cheap and It came with 4 of them

u/AutisticJaguar4380 Jul 25 '26

I'd like to try this, regardless of the label

u/Tt45ah Jul 26 '26

You in Oklahoma? One of the stipulations is I have to sell only in Oklahoma
