Anyone out there know of a label maker for my jars? I want to use my own photo and not one from Thorne's or wherever that are rather on the spenny side too. Thanks.

I made my own as I didn't need many. Bought A4 sheets of adhesive paper, printed them at work on their colour copiers (with permission!) and cut them by hand.

Took ages to cut them out and peeling the backing off was a pain so probably not a route I'd go down if I have loads to label.

Well done you! Sadly I don’t have that kind of printer so would still need to get them printed somewhere but I could have a try I guess. Thanks for imprinting the idea - sorry couldn’t resist. I’ll mull when I walk the dog now!
 
Avery type labels Can be printed on a normal domestic i kjet printer, but you are limited as to shape.
I use Maismores, they are obliging if you want to vary a bit from a standard label - eg I skip the bbe and lot number and add it with a tiny avery label, that way I can buy a decent amount at a time (500).

I just have 'BBE see base' on the label and use a label gun for the BB date, a standard single line label gun is cheap as chips (even a two line label gun so you can add a batch number doesn't cost the earth) and date labels don't cost much for rolls of thousands.
