DIY Labeling for Cottage Bakers

DIY Labeling for Cottage Bakers

Professional bakery labels don’t have to mean expensive custom printing.

When I started my cottage bakery, I quickly realized how expensive it could get to order custom labels—especially with a menu that was constantly changing. So I found a simpler way.

I now design my own labels in Canva, print them onto blank Avery labels, and make exactly what I need right from my home printer.

I created this guide to show other cottage bakers exactly how I do it.

INSIDE THE GUIDE

You’ll learn how to:

• Determine what information your product label needs
• Organize ingredients, sub-ingredients & allergens
• Design your labels in Canva
• Set up your design using Avery Design & Print
• Test and print your labels at home
• Troubleshoot common printing & alignment issues
• Save money by printing only what you need
• Find official cottage-food resources for your state

I also include real examples from my own bakery, helpful tips I’ve learned along the way, and additional information for fellow Oregon cottage bakers.

PERFECT FOR

Cottage and home bakers who want professional-looking product labels without ordering hundreds of custom-printed labels.
