🧁 Baked Goods & Cottage Food Label Maker
Make cottage food labels for cookies, bread, cakes and candy. Pick your label sheet, type your details, and the checklist shows what a home-baked goods label usually needs: product name, net weight in two units, ingredients, allergens, your name and address, and your state's home-kitchen notice.
Label checklist
What this kind of label usually includes. Green means you've filled it in.
Not legal advice. The checklist and suggested wording are general information about what labels commonly include. We are not lawyers or legal professionals, and rules vary by state, county and product. Before you sell, confirm your label with your state or local regulator or a qualified attorney.
Before you print
- Print the free alignment test sheet on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet up to a window.
- Always print at 100% / Actual size, not "Fit to page".
- Set the paper type to Labels if your printer has that option.
- Waterproof or kraft label sheets work too, as long as the layout matches.
Questions
Do I need a Nutrition Facts panel on cottage food?
Usually not. Very small businesses are generally exempt unless the label makes a nutrition or health claim. Your state can confirm.
What is a home-kitchen or cottage food statement?
Most states that allow home-made food sales require the label to say the food was made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the health or agriculture department. The wording is set by each state.
Will these labels line up with my printer?
They follow the standard Avery layouts. Print the free alignment test sheet on plain paper first, and always print at 100% or "Actual size", not "Fit to page".
Is this legal advice?
No. The checklist is general information about what labels commonly include. We are not lawyers. Check your label with your state or local regulator or an attorney before you sell.

Labeling rules are different in every state (and sometimes every county or city), they depend on exactly what you sell and where you sell it, and they change. Using this maker does not mean your label is legal or complete.
Before you sell, check your label with your state's department of agriculture or health, your local health department, or a qualified attorney. You are responsible for making sure your label is accurate and meets the rules where you live and sell.
