Label Printing

Labels help introduce or finalize a sale with your potential customer. A high-quality custom label design shows you are willing to invest in your product packaging, e-commerce deliveries, and other points of contact outside the store. Choose the correct stock, size, and coating to create a label that effectively informs and establishes brand identity.

Choose a label that will serve the needs of your business. Ask yourself the following questions to make the correct choice:

Do you need a specific size and shape for your product?

Is your item packaged in a container that is outside the standard size options? We offer custom labels available in 22 standard sizes. Select from a wide range of widths and heights available under the roll label’s custom size.

What is the best label type for my business?

PrintPlace offers three kinds of label printing for this need:

1. Water bottle labels printed in waterproof vinyl for cut-to-size labels or in BOPP for the roll type.
2. Bottle labels for beer, juice, and other beverages.
3. Shipping labels you can apply on packages or envelopes.
4. Food labels for your frozen products or refrigerated beverages. Also works for packed restaurant meal deliveries.
5. Product labels come in standard shapes and custom sizes. Choose a precise combination of specs to get the dimensions you need.
6. Packaging labels for your mailer boxes, subscription deliveries, and other e-commerce items shipped straight to your customers.

Should I print in cut-to-size or rolls?

Cut-to-size is recommended for quantities under 250 pieces. Recommended for business owners who will apply each individual sticker themselves by hand.

Rolls are usually ordered in hundreds to thousands of quantities above 250. Each roll fits in most label dispensers for faster, automatic application.

Are you packaging waterproof products or items for outdoor use?

PrintPlace offers three kinds of label printing for this need:

• Water bottle labels printed in waterproof vinyl for cut-to-size labels or in BOPP for the roll type.
• Bottle labels for beer, juice, and other beverages.
• Shipping labels you can apply on packages or envelopes.

Does your design require a special finish?

Need your product to stand out against the competition? Apply a metallic accent on bright and light colors to emphasize your logo or product name. Choose from a variety of square and rectangle sizes.

What other features will influence the design and print of your label?

Your order quantity determines the label’s format. Individual cut-to-size labels are normally in quantities below 250 pieces. This label type is typically hand-applied, and printed per piece.

Large quantity label printing orders above 250 are best in the roll format. One roll fits a label gun, making it fast and easy to apply your roll labels on bulk items.

Is there a minimum quantity order for label printing?

Yes, you can order a minimum of 25 pieces for the cut-to-size format. Roll labels require a minimum of 250 pieces.

How much will it cost to print labels?

The cost depends on the quantity, shape, format, material, and coating of your labels. The larger your order quantity, the less you spend on each label. For example, 250 square cut-to-size labels costs 10¢ per piece, while 500 pieces of the same type only cost 5¢. Bulk printing reduces the cost of each individual label.

How do I add a logo to my custom label design?

You can download any of our print templates and open it in your preferred editing software. You can design a file and add your logo using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign or Microsoft Publisher.

Alternatively, you can use our online design tool. Just add a logo from your device or create it directly on your browser.

What are the different types of waterproof materials available?

White vinyl sticker is available for cut-to-size labels. This is waterproof and can withstand indoor and outdoor exposure. It comes in high gloss coating that you can write on with a permanent ink marker.

BOPP refers to a plastic material that is oil and water resistant. Perfect for products that are stored in the kitchen or your bathroom. This material is even resistant to certain chemicals, such as bleaches and disinfectants.

What is the fastest printing time available for my labels?

Cut-to-size labels can be printed in one (1) business day, while the roll type takes two (2) business days to print. The printing or turnaround time indicates how long it takes to produce your order. It does not include the shipping transit time.
