Great packaging does two jobs at once: it makes a home bake look like it came from a real bakery, and it carries the label Florida law requires you to put on every product. Get both right and customers trust you before they even taste anything. Here are the boxes, jars, and label printers that Florida cottage food makers actually reach for — each one is a program we partner with, so the links below support the site at no extra cost to you.
Every package needs a compliant label
Under Florida's cottage food law, each product must show your business name and address, the ingredients (in descending order by weight), allergens, net weight, and the required disclaimer. Design yours free in our label generator, then print it with one of the printers below.

The packaging kit
Cottage Food Labels & Thermal Label Rolls
Blank thermal label rolls sized for food jars and packages — pair them with your Florida-compliant label made in our free label generator and print at home for pennies each.
FLEXYVA Thermal Label Printer
A no-ink thermal printer that turns your compliant label design into crisp, waterproof stickers. No cartridges to buy — it prints directly onto thermal label rolls.
POLONO Thermal Label Printer
A popular high-speed thermal label printer. Prints your net-weight, ingredient, and cottage-food-disclaimer labels in one pass — a proven workhorse for farmers-market sellers.
NPLUX Pie, Cake & Bakery Boxes
Sturdy 10×10×5 cake boxes, 10×8 bakery treat boxes, and window pie boxes built for presale pickup and weekend selling — the boxes that make a home bake look like a bakery.
Baregamyan Cake & Bakery Boxes
Another clean cake-and-bakery box option to compare on size and price — handy when NPLUX is out of the exact dimensions you need.
WACOI 8oz Mason Jars (12-pack)
Food-grade 8oz jars with lids — the standard vessel for jams, jellies, honey, dry mixes, and body-safe cottage goods. Slap on a labeled lid and you have a shelf-ready product.
Where to start
Jam / honey makers: mason jars + a label printer + thermal rolls.
Bakers:window boxes for cookies & dipped treats, sturdy cake/pie boxes for preorders, plus a printer for your labels.
Everyone: design the label first in our free label generator so you buy label stock in the right size.
