Download free printable Halloween apothecary labels in vintage, fairy, and potion bottle designs. Includes blank labels, multiple sizes, and easy PDF printables.
I love Halloween. It rivals Christmas in my book. And I love the decorations for Halloween even more than Christmas. And now that I have a kid, the trick-or-treating is much more fun now that I’m not just handing out candy.
With Halloween decor in mind, I decided that apothecary labels were an excellent idea. Whether you’re decorating spooky potion bottles, creating a whimsical fairy display, or putting together a vintage apothecary cabinet, you’ll find multiple styles of free printable labels below.
This original post only included about 16 labels (total between the 3 sheets). I’ve expanded it drastically. The collection now includes all of the following:
Vintage Collection
• Vintage Apothecary Labels (2 types)
• Blank Vintage Apothecary Labels (2 types)
Enchanted Collection
• Enchanted Apothecary Labels
Fairy Collection
•Fairy Apothecary Labels
•Blank Fairy Apothecary Labels
As you can see, some of these labels work outside of Halloween. The fairy apothecary labels in particular work year-round for parties or decor. And the enchanted labels would also work for a renaissance festival.

• The default size of these is full-page per image. Specific label dimensions are described next to the pages.
Free printable Halloween Apothecary Labels
There are multiple labels below: slate vintage style, parchment paper type vintage style, fairy apothecary labels, and colorful enchanted labels. Most of them include blanks along with the designed ones. You can use the blanks for a variety of uses: labeling food & drink on a buffet or party table, name tags, labeling the pantry, or for gift tags/party favors/goodie bags.

Want an authentic vintage look?
One of the reasons I left many of these printable apothecary labels without a defined outer border is so you can customize the edges yourself. Instead of cutting along a printed outline, you can tear, distress, or trim the paper to create a naturally aged look that works beautifully on potion bottles and apothecary jars.
“The Curated Farmhouse” has an excellent tutorial on how to age the labels and bottles. (If you look close in the “Look for Labels” section, I’m in the Pinterest search results! haha). She has step by step instructions and pictures, so you know exactly what to do.
“The Navage Patch” has a good section on tattering the edges of the labels. (But there is an annoying pop-up to sign up for newsletter it took me multiple tries to get past to the actual content…just a heads up.

Thanks for the labels. I printed out the blank ones then laminated them.
Oh, that’s great! If you want, I would love to see some pictures when you use them. I could include them in the blog post. I don’t have any pictures of them in use because I haven’t had a Halloween party. You can e-mail them to [email protected] if you want. Anyway, enjoy the labels.
thank you, they are perfect for what I am doing
Glad you’re enjoying them.
I love these labels, going to print them for my upcycled coffee bottles and decoupage them.
I have no idea what decoupage is! But glad you like them. Thanks for visiting and for taking the time to comment.
I used them to make apothecary bottles for Halloween.
I’ve had a couple people say they used them to make decorative bottles for Halloween! That’s good to hear…I hope they turned out well.
Absolutely love these! Cannot wait to use them for our Halloween party at work!!
I hope they work out well for your Halloween party. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I am not sure how I will use these yet but they gave me giggles reading them. The Hemlock and the Love Brew especially. XD
Thank you and Happy Halloween!
These are great! I print funny spooky labels for our school’s annual Halloween luncheon, and I will be using some of these. Thanks for making and offering them.
I’m here in 2025 to say these are great and thank you so much for sharing them!
