Six Components of Quality Packaging Custom Labels

You can get different kinds of custom labels easily and if you run a very small business or a home business, you can even theoretically print off labels with your home printer. This can be an expensive proposition for large numbers of custom labels and you will be better off getting the labeling work done professionally, particularly if you manufacture goods for retail sale, have fairly large runs and want your labeling to look exclusive. Remember, a consumer looks at the label first for all the necessary information about your product and your label is an extension of your brand.

Different kinds of labels

While labels have to provide all the information regarding the product, there are many different kinds of custom labels that are in use for varied products. Among the large variety of labels available are:

  • Prime labels
  • Coupon labels
  • Cold temperature labels
  • Promotional labels
  • Piggyback labels
  • Sheeted labels
  • Fanfolded labels
  • Thermal labels
  • Cosmetic labels
  • Food product labels
  • Static cling labels
  • Laser labels
  • Kiss cut labels
  • Tactile coated labels
  • Tube resealable extended content labels
  • Hang tags
  • Neck tags
  • Pressure sensitive labels

There are so many labels and unless you know which kind will be right for your products, you may be at a disadvantage. The six most important components of labels are that:

  1. They should provide all the necessary information.
  2. They should not peel off or disintegrate till the product is sold.
  3. The information should be easily readable.
  4. Labeling information should be legally compliant (very important for medical and food products).
  5. Labels should stand up to temperature and moisture changes.
  6. They should have the desired impact on the consumer, to make him buy the product.
