Welcome to LABELSTONE! LABELSTONE offers you a large and selection of vintage fruit and vegetable crate labels and can labels ready for you to chose matting and framing based on your individual tastes and home decor. Perfect as gifts as well as yourself! WHAT ARE CRATE LABELS…… Crate labels were originally intended to be applied to the ends/tops of produce-filled wooden crates. These wonderful works of art were created as a means of identifying and advertising a particular brand of produce. Fierce competition in the local markets meant that sellers had to find creative ways of attracting buyers to their particular produce – hence the need for captivating and enticing labels. Initiated in the 1890’s, the use of labels flourished until the 1950’s, when the preprinted and cheaper cardboard box was introduced. As a result, the need for labels diminished and they were left in packing houses, storage sheds, printer’s archives etc. for collectors, historians, & enthusiasts to later discover.
