Labels: What You Need to Know

The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating labels. With so many options for customization, where should you begin?

We understand that this can be an overwhelming task to begin, so here are a few questions to use as starting points when creating a new label:

What is the size of the label you require?

We have over 1700 die shapes; kiss cut and sheeters to select from. If our selection does not give you your option, we can order a special shape to meet your requirements.

What application temperature/environment is the label going to be applied on?

There are hundreds of face stock/adhesive combinations available to you. Application temperature is one of the most important considerations one should make when considering different materials. This selection will determine your ultimate look, functionality, and quality of the package in the end.

What look are you looking for on your finished label?

Performance and the final look of your project will be based on this decision. This is one of the most important stages of your decision making. 

What graphics are you looking for?

Label costs and set up charges are not only based on label size and adhesive selection but also include the number of colors. This decision will be reflected in your prepress charges, plate charges, and press set-up costs. Our knowledgable team can certainly help with the color and process selections for your project. 

How are the labels to be applied?

This question should not be overlooked. Roll direction, roll size, and print layout are all very important to the application process of your labels. From small, hand-applied labels to a large, fully-automated application, we can supply them all.
