Printable Pantry Labels

Organization Tips

Get your pantry organized with these printable pantry labels! A cute way to organize the pantry and make a decorative statement while getting organized. Our pantry labels are easy to print and place on your pantry containers.

PRINTABLE PANTRY LABELS

Now is the time to get all those areas in your house organized! In fact, no time is better than the present. Sometimes all it takes is a set of pretty labels to get you motivated! I first created these labels four years ago and decided that I needed to overhaul my pantry again. So, I cleaned the entire pantry from top to bottom again and updated the labels. The original printable pantry labels lasted for four years through several cleanings and I am sharing them here again for you to use in your own homes!

PANTRY LABELS

I LOVE all things typography!  So of course, I would be making labels that were heavy on words and decided to go with the definitions.  In fact, these are really popular and can be found all over.  I simply looked up each item on the online dictionary and then used the definition (with some changes) to make each label.

I love having the food that we use everyday right on hand in our kitchen pantry. All in all, as large family of seven we go through a lot of food. We also like to buy in bulk at Costco but I don’t love to have the large food bags in my main kitchen pantry. So we store them all downstairs in our cold pantry and then move food up into the containers as needed. For example, when our flour in the flour container is out, I wash out the container and then add more flour to it from our large bag of flour downstairs. This way all of the big food bags and cans are out of sight!

WHAT STICKER PAPER SHOULD I USE FOR MY LABELS?

I tried a few different materials to print these labels on to see which material I liked the best.  I used some Avery Clear Sticker paper that came in sheets first.  In short, these were great…but…were not clear.  They have a frost to them which bothered me on the glass jars.  They were okay on the plastic containers if you had a white substance in them because they were not as obvious.  The best material I found is the Clear Printable Sticker Material from Silhouette.  It sticks well and printed on nicely.  

HOW TO PRINT YOUR LABELS

  1. When you order your labels, you will be sent an email with a link to the labels. You will then be able download the labels to your computer.
  2. Print the labels at home if you have a laser jet printer. Be sure to use high quality toner and a good clear sticker or white sticker material.
  3. If you do not have a printer at home or think your printer may not print in a higher quality, you can get the labels printed at a copy center using their laser printers and sticker/label paper.
  4. Then cut them to the proper size so that they fit onto your individual containers.
  5. To clean the label, simply wipe them gently with a damp, clean cloth.
  6. You can clean the inside of the containers. Just be careful not to soak the labels or get them too wet or they may peel off of your container.
  7. If you labels get too old or too dirty to clean properly you can reprint the labels again and replace them with new ones.

      Save them to a zip drive and have a copy center print them off for you on your sticker paper. I bet you could find one that will do that!

        Hi Amy

        Your labels are fantastic!!! I absolutely love them! Do you possibly have an editable version (I’d be happy to pay for it) as some of the names are slightly different in the UK and I’d love to still be able to use them.
        Thank you! x

    these are wonderful! thank you so much. It’s just the kind of thing that my kids would say that I would do. Regarding the plastics with the handles, are those just regular Rubbermaid or some other brand? I worry about things being absolutely bug/humidity proof, so everything is in jars, but would prefer some plastics like those.

    thanks!

    I love these labels, and I can’t wait for the gluten free ones! Our family is gluten and dairy free, so these will come in very handy!

        I have downloaded and printed the labels from all of your sets, including the gluten-free ones, and I love them. However, I still have many containers in my newly organized pantry that need labels. Would you mind sharing your font with me and any tips you might have on how to make some labels to meet my needs?

    These are so COOL. I thank you for all your hard work. I can’t open the 1st set. It says there is an error. Is this just me… or is this happening to everyone? The others opened perfectly. Thanks so much

    Thank you so much! I love the decal labels I see all over pinterest but the decal labels are only available in Australia. I can’t wait to go buy new containers so that I can start labeling.

        Still can’t find the link or the size for the baking soda jar? That would also be good for baking powder.

        I am vegan and would need lables for:
        Cornflour
        Oat flour
        TSP (textured soy protein)
        Potato Starch
        Sorghum Flour
        Superfine Brown Rice Flour
        Sweet White Rice Flour
        Tapioca Starch/Flour

        Thanks, these are beautiful!

          Thank you! I bought the baking soda jars years ago and I just went to see what brand they were and can NOT find anything on them to let me know and I can’t remember. I will look and see if I can find something similar and leave a link here to them. They have silver lids that screw on the top too!

    Do you have one for Vinegar and one for oil?

    These are so fun! Thank you for sharing them. I printed pantry labels onto the clear sticker paper with my inkjet a couple of years ago, and the lettering smeared if I had wet hands, so it’s so good to know that laser printing prevents this.

    (I did want to mention that it appears there is an inadvertent space in the baking soda definition that makes it say “compoun d,” (on the next line) rather than “compound,” as one word. :) )

    I LOVE these!!! I’m just in the process of trying to organise my larder so will definitely be using these. Would love different labels so I could differentiate between my plain and self raising flour, and different types of pasta would be great i.e. fusilli, penne, macaroni etc…

    Thank you for these wonderful labels!

    Love these and can’t wait for the gluten free ones! Labeling our gluten free / dairy free items will make it so much easier for the kids (including the one gf/cf) to know which ones are safe!

    How about some vegan labels for things like egg replacer, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, gluten flour (I use this to make Seitan), Soy flour, rice flour, different kinds of beans (such as black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, canneloni beans, red beans, etc.)????

    I also love these labels and if you do happen to make any others, as some have requested, I’d do another happy dance. (It’s not pretty, but it’s a dance!) When I saw them, my mind went into organization overload. The laundry room, my entire pantry, etc. : )
    Thank you, as I know how much work goes into the creation and design of these. Love, Love, Love your site and work!

    I just love these! So cute and much cheaper than the chalkboard labels. Do you know if the Silhouette labels will retain their stickiness after going through the dishwasher?

    Reply

    • Amy says

      They will not. When I wash out my jars I am careful to wipe the outside with a cloth and then use hot soapy water on the inside. If you are careful you can keep them clean this way. I clean them every time I run out.

    These labels are beautiful ! Thank you so much for the time and energy you spend in making all of these for us ! You’re amazing! The only suggestions I can think of are for ranch dressing mix, bread crumbs, croutons, popcorn (we buy bulk) and vegetable powder ( a mix of dried veggies blended to a powder with herbs, to add nutrition to soups, stews etc.. just in case you were wondering what that was for.. ;)

    I LOVE these labels. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to buy the Silhouette labels because they are “out of stock” anyplace I have looked. Please don’t remove these from your site before I can get them.

    Love your site.
