Decisions

When trying to decide the type of labels you need for your product or application, it may seem daunting at first. What size and shape do I need? What type of material? What type of adhesive? Are the labels being hand applied or machine applied? This is where we step in - our custom label specialists will work with you throughout the process to help you decide which labels will work best for you and take the stress and uncertainty out of the equation.

Simply put, custom labels are any type of substrate or material coated with adhesive on one side and typically printed on the other side. However depending on your specific application there are many options to consider:

• What size and shape do you need - custom labels come in your standard shapes such as rectangle, circle and squares however special shapes are often needed in order to fit a certain container or to add some flair.

• What type of adhesive do you need - most labels use a permanent adhesive in order to be sure the labels do not peel up and cannot be removed easily. In special cases a different type of adhesive may be needed such as a removable or repositionable type adhesive or special adhesives for freezer use or for outdoors.

• What type of material is needed - indoor paper stocks , such as white gloss or white litho, are the most common type of material used for custom labels. For labels being used outdoor or in water, vinyl, polyester, acetate and films are often used due to their waterproof properties. For events or special occasions, foil materials give an elegant presentation.

• What type of label printing is needed - most labels are printed using a variety of different types of inks - both for indoor and outdoor use. Foil stamping and embossed labels are often chosen for use on certificates, wedding invitations, personalized announcements or high end cosmetics. Digital labels provide full color without any plates needed as in flexo or screen printing methods.

• What are the labels being applied to - this may be the most important detail in getting the correct custom label for your needs. If labels are being used outdoors then waterproof and UV inks must be used. If you need to write on the labels then you must be sure to use a matte and not a glossy material. Do you need consecutive numbering for use on parking permit stickers. Will the labels be applied by hand or applied by machine - if by machine then certain information is needed to be sure they will work properly.

With our custom label specialists we will guide you through these decisions to insure you get the personalized labels you need.
