Custom labels and stickers: how to choose materials that match your product

Custom labels and stickers on branded packaging

01

Start with the package surface

A label on a glass jar, paper box, plastic bottle or shipping carton behaves differently. The surface, temperature, handling and expected lifespan all influence the best material and adhesive choice.

Measure the usable label area and account for curves, seams and barcode placement before building the artwork.

02

Make important information easy to scan

Product name, flavour, instructions, ingredients, contact information and barcodes all need a clear hierarchy. Keep type readable at the final label size and reserve contrast for the most important information.

Finish choices can help reinforce the product position. Matte labels can feel refined and tactile; gloss can add brightness and wipe-clean appeal.

  • Measure the real application area
  • Keep type legible at final size
  • Choose a finish that supports the product experience

03

Order a test when the application is unusual

For a complex package, a short test can prevent wasted product labels. Share a photo of the container and describe storage or handling conditions in the quote request.
