I saw a couple of these on Pinterest, and when I googled and kept looking I found more than what was on Pinterest. I did all the legwork for you. Check out the options …
Each picture is clickable, and will take you to the PDF file for printing on a large Folger’s Coffee Can label. They have the smaller labels available too.
I printed my labels on full sized label paper and used my paper cutter to trim them.
I cut a corner off of the slick backing paper.
Cutting a corner allowed me to line up the label, then slowly remove the backing paper.
I love these! I bake a lot during the holidays for friends, family and neighbors. The hardest part for me? Finding the canisters because I don’t drink coffee! 🙂
I washed my canisters, let them sit overnight with water and a little dish soap, then I poured a little pure vanilla in the canister the next day. So now at least they don’t smell like coffee or a cleaning agent.
Think of the possibilities. If you’re a big coffee drinker, you may have already been saving your Folger’s Coffee Cans because you KNEW there was something to do with them. You could wrap presents, bake sweets for neighbors, or just fill it with candy on your counter.
I have made a page with these Christmas ideas, other Holidays, and more of the coffee container labels so you can easily print them.

I occasionally bribe the barista in the restaurant in our office park for the llly cans they use, I’m obsessed with repurposing them. I use them for spices, nuts and other dry goods I buy in 500g bags. I cut the tops off and they fit perfectly in the tin which helps with not leaving a residue. The built in one way valves in the bottom help with keeping them fresh. I use the dented/scarred ones for storing my woodworking hardware like nails and screws or left over nuts and bolts from mechanical work on my car, you never know when you might need one for a project needing one. They fit perfectly on pallet wood so a shelf for them is my next project. thanks for the labelling idea, beats searching through each can when cooking! I’ll print them with nice fonts and classic sketches/illustrations.
Awesome job of repurposing and organizing!
Thanks for stopping by!

On this Thanksgiving day, thank you for sharing. I don’t really have access to the Folgers cans, but am going to try them on some of the cans, bottles, etc. that I have been saving thinking that I might find out some way of using them in creative ways. These have a lot of potential. Thanks again.
I can’t get the links to the labels to work. When I click on the labels, I get the Folger’s website map. Help!
Donna,
Thanks for letting me know! I have updated the links. I had to remove some of the images because I couldn’t find the files. I will be including all the images/links I have in an upcoming newsletter for my email subscribers.

would love to have some of the cans to make a few of these; will have to look for them!
I have been trying unsuccessfully to remove the Folger’s labels to no avail.
Can they be removed??? Oscar
I find coffee cans and these canisters at my local recycling center. If you don’t want to keep yours take them there there are people that can use them. I use the big ones for yarn. When I am crocheting I put my ball of yarn inside and have a hole for the yarn to come out at the top. Doing it like this my ball of yarn doesn’t roll all over the place while I am crocheting. I decorated one for a friend and wish I had seen this site because I could have used some of the pictures! Instead I painted over the coffee labels and stenciled stuff on and used stickers and put a big glitter purple bow on top. She uses it for all of her projects! Oatmeal containers would also work.
I keep all my emptys in the garage because they were just too good to throw away. Any ideas on how to get the coffee smell out?
Any ideas on how to print labels for the smaller (11oz) canisters?
I love this!!! Are there any labels like these for the small regular sized Folgers coffee containers?
thank you!
I haven’t seen any small labels online.

What kind of labels did you use? Mine keep peeling away from the canister.
I used Matte White Sticker Paper from Staples. I didn’t have any problems with it coming off.
I hope you get it figured out.

That’s an awesome idea and perfect for giving coolies at the holidays! Too bad there are no coffee drinkers around here!
I am pinning this! We don’t drink coffee either, but my husband and I are runners and we have lots of powerbar drink canisters that I have been saving….These would work great on them! Thanks for doing all the hard work!
Very cute!
Ahhh…I just tossed a large bag full of these canisters away that my mom brought me. I decided I didn’t have a use for them and they were taking up too much space. Go figure! Thanks for sharing.
This is great! I am one of those who has saved up a bunch of this canisters. I use some, on which I have simply written the contents with a marker. But this is sooo much better. I have tried and tried to think of a way to “pretty them up”, and these labels are perfect. Thanks for sharing!
What a cool idea! I made a kitchen composter out of a Folgers coffee can — Had a hard time getting one because I don’t drink coffee either.
Love these! Thanks for putting them all together in one place!

Super cute…I saw a Pinterest project that actually called for the old style coffee “cans”, you sure don’t see those anymore! My coffee beans come in a bag…got a project for those?! Lol!
Very many years ago they used to actually be made out of tin. I still call my container the “coffee can.”
How nice,they look great.We don’t have that coffee here,but could adapt to other tins. 🙂
