Using the Label Generator
The label generator helps you design clean, print-ready labels for your products. Pick a label size, add blocks like product name, ingredients, allergens, net weight, the cottage food disclosure, and a QR code, then export a single label or a full sheet. It's aware of your state and flags commonly required fields — but you're responsible for confirming your state's exact rules.
The generator is a design tool, not legal advice. Labeling rules vary by state — always confirm your state's exact requirements in the Compliance Center and with your official source.
Good labels look professional and carry the information buyers (and your state) expect. The label generator makes them without design software — and saves a design per product so you can reprint anytime.
Build a label block by block
Choose a label size, then add and arrange the blocks you need: product name, subtitle, ingredients, allergen warnings, net weight, the cottage food disclosure, your business name and contact, a logo, and a QR code. You can style text and position each block on the canvas.
Add a storefront QR code
The QR block links to your storefront — handy for turning a jar on someone's counter into a reorder. For what belongs in the text, mirror your listing's ingredients and allergens from product descriptions that sell.
Export and print
- Export a single label as an image or PDF
- Export a full sheet to print and cut multiple labels at once
- Reopen a product's saved design anytime to tweak and reprint
Labels pair naturally with listing a product — see creating your first product listing — and with knowing your state's cottage food rules.

Frequently asked questions
Does the label generator make my labels legally compliant?
It helps — it's aware of your state and flags commonly required fields like ingredients, allergens, net weight, and the cottage food disclosure. But label laws vary and change, so you're responsible for confirming your state's exact requirements in the Compliance Center.
