Labels and Stickers

Labels That Finish the Product

Labels do a surprising amount of work for their size. They carry the brand, the product name, the ingredients and the barcode, and they are often the only printed item on a jar, bottle or bag. Choosing the right material and adhesive matters as much as the design, because a label that peels or smudges makes the whole product look cheap.

Paper labels are the most economical and suit dry products. Film and vinyl labels resist water and oil, which suits bottles, jars and anything kept in a fridge or bathroom. Clear labels give a no-label look on glass. For products filled in batches, printed roll labels are easy to apply by hand or with a labelling machine.

Stickers for Packaging and Promotion

Stickers are one of the cheapest ways to brand plain packaging. A logo sticker on a kraft mailer or a paper bag turns a stock item into something that looks made for you. Thank-you stickers, seal stickers and QR code stickers add a personal touch to parcels and point customers to your website.

Die-cut stickers follow the outline of your design, while circle and square stickers are quick and economical. Speciality stickers include holographic, glitter, lenticular and transfer stickers for brands and events that want something eye-catching. For everyday packaging, printed logo stickers are the simplest way to brand boxes and bags.

Tags, Garment Labels and Vehicle Graphics

Clothing brands use hang tags to carry the brand, size and price, attached with string or a plastic tag. Round, leaf-shaped and folded tags give different looks, and garment labels are sewn or printed inside the clothing. Sock labels wrap around a pair to hold them together on a shelf.

Vehicle graphics include car stickers, bumper stickers, door magnets and helmet stickers. These need weather-resistant vinyl and inks that hold up in sun and rain. For shop windows, static clings stick without adhesive and can be moved or removed cleanly. Tradespeople often order printed car door magnets so the van can be used for personal trips too.

Materials, Adhesives and Ordering

Labels and stickers are printed on paper, vinyl, film or speciality stocks, with permanent or removable adhesive. Finishes include gloss and matt laminates, foil, embossing and spot gloss. Rolls are wound to suit your labelling machine or dispenser, and sheets suit hand application.

Every order starts with a free design proof. Minimums are quoted per job, and different designs can often be ganged on one order so you can label several products at once. For jars and preserves, printed jar labels sized to the jar make a range look consistent on a shelf.
