Maple Syrup Label Design
Maple syrup label design starts with the name. Only syrup made from maple sap, with at least 66% solids, may be called "maple syrup"; a blend or a maple-tasting pancake syrup needs a different name. Add the net contents in fl oz and mL, your name and address and Nutrition Facts per 2 tablespoons. A grade like Grade A Amber Color Rich Taste is optional under federal rules, and shoppers know it well.
