Kosher Kitchen Labels: Meat, Dairy, Parve
These kosher kitchen labels are the perfect way to remember which dishes belong to what! When you’re done, check out this cool DIY Challah cover craft. This post contains affiliate links.
One of the coolest things about the internet is that there is a solution there for virtually anything.
If you’re looking for a printable or cut file for just about anything in life you’ll probably find it… unless it’s a Jewish thing.
One of my goals is to provide resources for Jewish homes that might not exist, and so the “DIY” version of kosher kitchen labels was a must.
To make things more accessible, I created both free and paid versions of this product. All are linked at the end of this post, but if you want quick access to the full bundle, you can get it here:
About the Kosher Kitchen Labels
I try to make my resources work for as many people as possible, so I created a few versions. That includes the various “vernacular” used to describe the categories of dishes.
I included Hebrew (Chalavi, Besari and Parve) , English in two styles (Dairy, Meat, Parve), and Yiddish (Milchig, Fleishig, and Parve).
I created each one as both an SVG to cut from vinyl and a PDF to print on printable vinyl for a good quality sticker or as paper signs.
I also included white background PNG files for you to lay out your own desired sizes and print as you wish, as well as to Print then Cut using your Cricut.
And since some people are on a tighter budget, I do offer the PDF version of the script/English Kosher Kitchen labels as a free download at the end of this post!
Different ways to use these Kosher Kitchen labels
There are so many practical uses for Kosher kitchen labels but here are a few of my favorite.
Printables
Printables are designed to be printed on any kind of paper, but my favorite is glossy vinyl. This can be washed and is quite permanent if adhered to a clean adhesive-friendly surface (so nothing non-stick).
You can hand or machine cut these – whichever you prefer. I didn’t want to limit these to a printable label template so I kept it to a sticker sheet.
Cheaper sticker sheets tend to have poorer adhesive and paper surfaces. They are a good match for longer term storage (such as on boxes for moving or packing away for Passover) but not for dishes.
If you want to label actual cabinets, I recommend digging deeper into what won’t damage paint. I would probably just print it in small on cardstock (or photo paper for a glossy finish) and use Command products to mount it.
SVG/cut files
The SVG files are the real win here, and the reason I really created these kosher kitchen labels.
Just a note: when using an SVG file, the color will depend on the materials ued.
I have two identical mixing bowls in meat and dairy, and so I used blue vinyl to label the dairy one as dairy. I used red vinyl to label my meat mugs as such (we drink tea after meat meals in them).
I used my Cricut to cut out the vinyl and transferred it to the back using transfer tape.
They both have held up to multiple dishwasher runs. I used Cricut permanent vinyl for both and let it sit for a while before using.
You can also use these in laser engravers if you’re that fancy. I’ve engraved wood mixing spoons with the meat/dairy designation so that I don’t forget. I hope to engrave more metal items around the house, too.
