Label spice jars - best placement

There are several ways to label spice jars for the best overview.

Label on the front of the can

The most common is to put the label on the front of the glass jar.
This means that you can easily see the seasoning when the jars are on a shelf or in a cupboard.

Label on the lid

If you store the spices in a box or spice box is it smart to put the label on the lid. Then you can immediately see which spice it is from above.

Combine both

For best organization you can put:

• a label on the jar

• a label on the lid

This makes the spices easy to read regardless of how they are stored.
