Tom,
Stunning
This is one of my labels this year and I rather like it.
This was my stall at the last Farmers Market
Taster jars, Jars for sale and I made up some gift bags with a jar of honey and a glass with bees in relief on them.
Seemed to go quite well.
Pleased with the branding, New this year, clean and easy to print in black and white.
Just for interest really!

http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/other/l21091_en.htmPrepacked foodstuffs must indicate a manufacturing or packaging lot reference, a system which is harmonised throughout the European Union (EU). The lot reference allows consumers to trace the product in the event of any dispute or health risk. The date of minimum durability or "use by" date can be used as the means of identifying the lot.
There is no exemption there from Lot numbering for our honey. But Article 5 means that a 'best before' plainly specified to the day (regardless of the daftness of that for honey) can function as a Lot Number.Article 1
1. This Directive concerns the indication which allows identi- fication of the lot to which a foodstuff belongs.
2. For the purposes of this Directive, ‘lot’ means a batch of sales units of a foodstuff produced, manufactured or packaged under practically the same conditions.
Article 2
1. A foodstuff may not be marketed unless it is accompanied by an indication as referred to in Article 1(1).
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply:
(a) to agricultural products which, on leaving the holding, are:
(i) sold or delivered to temporary storage, preparation or packaging stations;
(ii) transported to producers’ organisations; or
(iii) collected for immediate integration into an operational preparation or processing system;
(b) when, at the point of sale to the ultimate consumer, the foodstuffs are not prepackaged, are packaged at the request of the purchaser or are prepackaged for immediate sale;
(c) to packagings or containers the largest side of which has an area of less than 10 cm2;
(d) to individual portions of ice cream. The indication enabling the lot to be identified shall appear on the combined package.
Article 3
…
Article 5
When the date of minimum durability or ‘use by’ date appears on the label, the indication referred to in Article 1(1) need not appear on the foodstuff, provided that the date consists at least of the uncoded indication of the day and the month in that order.

This is for those who have nothing better to do, most if not all other EU countries would laugh and carry on as normal.
I prefer Tom's approach.

This is the same label but on a pound jar.......shows up better!
Let me know If there are any other faults......thanks. Weight is correct size of print by the way!
My understanding of the Lot number and best before date is that you have to keep a bottle of honey for six months after the best before date. Then, if there is a problem/claimed problem, you have a sample that can be tested.
For example, person claims that your honey poisoned them. Your sample can be tested for pesticides/exotic hallucinogenic nectar. So it protects you against false claims on the one hand and, if your honey is at fault, allows you to identify which honey to recall. (How you would perform a recall, I have absolutely no idea.)
