Look around on line for some round labels that will fit on jar lids. I
think they are 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Barb Schaller uses them all the
time.

I mostly use a Sharpie on the lid with product and date of manufacture
but have used shipping labels with fair results. The only problem with
labels on jars is that they are often a real problem to get off to reuse
the jar. Good luck.
