For what it is worth. 454g/lb round jars. Home made Photoshop labels constructed in layers so I can easily change the text on the Best Before Layer and switch on/off the spring honey blurb or the summer honey description. Avery labels (10 to the A4), lazer colour printer at home. Hand applied, cheap, job done.
Just a couple of legal points on labels other than the obvious 'nature, quality & origin demanded' stuff.
a) remember that if you are using the durability code as your legal lot trace (so no separate lot number) then you can only have 1 bottling for that product on that code. Multiple bottling days and you need to prove isolated identity via code between 'batches'. So use Best Before xx-xx-xx not best before end which is a xxx-xx format. Difficult if you are having batches of labels printed for you. Easy to stay on top off if you print your own. Legal ref: EU 1169/2011 originally enacted as Food Information Regs 2014 + amends thereof
b) cover your back. Add a "not suitable for consumption by infants under 3 years of age" to protect you against being an alleged origin of infant botulism from ingestion of Cl botulinum spores within the honey (spores are a very normal, common and natural element in honey) combined with an as yet under developed gut flora in a young infant.
Edited foot note: bugs don't grow in honey because of the low water activity, that's why we confirm sugar content, Aw and residual free water when determining whether honey is 'ripe'. Honey also has certain antimicrobial properties in addition that I won't bore you with here. In other words it is the fact that those spores go into the under developed infant gut and can grow without competition is the issue that consumers need to be aware of.
