In this episode of Charcuterie & Cottage Food Biz, we dive deep into the world of food labels, and trust us, it’s more exciting (and important!) than it sounds. Whether you’re selling charcuterie boxes, cupcakes, or tamales, pre-packaged charcuterie, your labels do double duty: they keep you compliant with cottage food laws and help you build a brand that sticks in your customers’ minds.

We cover everything from ingredient lists, allergens, and safe packaging to the fun side of making your labels pop with logos, Canva templates, QR codes, and Avery hacks. We even share some behind-the-scenes laughs—like experimenting with AI design apps that gave us 90s hairdos and giant bow “mustaches.”

Most importantly, you’ll walk away knowing how to:

• Stay compliant with cottage food labeling rules
• Create professional, waterproof labels without overspending
• Use branding elements (logos, websites, QR codes) to drive repeat sales
• Package small items when a sticker just won’t fit
• Leverage tools like Canva, Avery, and even Apps to make the process easier
• Turn every product label into a mini billboard for your business

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the label requirements—or you’ve been hand-writing ingredient lists at midnight—this one’s for you. Let’s make your packaging work smarter, not harder, so you can sell more all week long (not just at the farm stand).
