Food labels are essential because they’re utilized from start to finish.
They not only attract shoppers but also help them decide if they should
purchase your product. Food labels may also provide nutrition information,
preparation instructions, and product freshness dates.

easy peel and stick. You can also order them in roll format to fit label
dispensers for faster application.
Use labels on
homemade jams, baked goods, craft brews, or a bag of chips. From waterproof
vinyl for jars and bottles to white paper sticker for indoor use, our
materials are customizable for any kind of product.

Sizes, Shapes, and Materials
Our cut-to-size labels come in a wide range of sizes to fit your
branding and design. For cut-to-size, choose our most popular size 2” x 2” to
our largest size 17” x 12”. For roll labels, sizes range from 0.5” x 1” up to
6” x 6.5”.
Try circle and oval-shaped labels to highlight your business logo or square
and rectangle to wrap around bottles and rounded containers. You can also add
rounded corners for a more streamlined look.
Cut-to-size labels are individually cut to their size and shape and delivered
in stacks. We offer two types of adhesives for cut-to-size food labels:
White paper sticker is the perfect choice for general indoor label applications. You can choose between gloss, high-gloss UV, or matte coating. Gloss lends a reflective shine and vibrance to your design, while high-gloss UV doubles this effect. This material also protects your labels from scuffs and scratches. Matte coating has a non-reflective, muted effect that works best for elegant and minimalist label designs.
White vinyl is UV-resistant and waterproof, so you can use it for both indoor and outdoor labels. Our most durable material for food labels, white vinyl is best used on bottles and containers that are exposed to moisture or stored in a refrigerator.
In addition to cut-to-size, food labels can also be printed kiss-cut or in sheets. Kiss-cut labels are individually cut but not all the way through. This leaves the backing intact for printing logos and business information. These labels are available only in custom shapes.
If you want to print multiple designs, you can do that with sheet labels. With sheet labels, you can have everything in one sheet. Multiple designs on one sheet are only offered in custom shapes.
Effective Food Label Printing
Get the most out your custom labels with these printing tips:
- Use them for branding or even as a supplementary print for your products.Aside from your logo, you can include preparation instructions, recommended recipes, social media pages, and contact information. You can even use labels to share your product story. Customers appreciate having that connection with the brands they shop from.
- Use them for labeling gifts and limited-edition products. Brands do this to increase sales especially for gift-giving holidays like Valentine’s day and Christmas. You can create labels with a themed gift-tag design so that buyers don’t need to wrap them as a gift. Use white paper sticker in gloss so they can easily write on the labels.
- For design, pick fonts that suit your brand. You shouldn’t use too many either. Choose one or two legible fonts that customers can easily read. Food labels can be small, so choose the right font and size that matches the available space on your packaging.
- Use attention-grabbing colors that match your branding. But use the ones that match your branding. Use colors that correspond with the flavors of your product so shoppers can easily find what they need. When creating your food labels, make sure your design has a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and saved in CMYK color format for high-quality and accurate results.
