Custom Labels FAQ: Your Guide to Design, Order, and Expert Support
Materials & Finishes
What Materials Are Used for Custom Labels?
We offer a variety of high-quality label materials for custom designs, including
white paper, waterproof polypropylene, clear plastic, gold or silver foils, and eco-friendly options. Specialised materials such as holographic films, removable adhesives, and food-safe papers are also available. If you require waterproof, grease-resistant, satin-finish, or textured options, we have a range to meet your needs. What Are the Best Options for Cosmetics?
What Are the Best Options for Cosmetics?
For cosmetic products, we recommend using waterproof polypropylene to withstand moisture. For a sleek, “no-label” look, clear finishes are ideal, while gloss coatings work well for vibrant branding, ensuring both durability and an attractive presentation.
Are Your Products Suitable for Candle Jars and Heat-Exposed Items?
Yes, we provide heat-resistant solutions designed for items like candle jars. These are engineered to endure high temperatures while maintaining adhesive strength, ensuring they stay intact even when exposed to heat.
Can You Create Custom Shapes?
Absolutely! We can fully customise shapes, from circles and rectangles to die-cut options for unique designs. For easy peeling and application, choose kiss-cut varieties on sheets or rolls.
How Can I Select the Right Finish?
The finish depends on your product's style and intended use. Gloss provides a shiny, vibrant look, while matt offers a refined, satin-like appearance. For a seamless, transparent effect, choose a clear finish in either gloss or matt. If exposed to moisture or oils, waterproof polypropylene is the best choice.
Ordering Process
How Quickly Can I Get My Custom Labels?
We prioritise both speed and accuracy in our production. Standard turnaround time is just a few working days, with free next-day UK delivery after dispatch. For urgent orders, we provide
rush printing and express shipping to meet tight deadlines.
Can Your Products Be Used with a Mechanical Applicator?
Yes, our roll options are perfect for automatic and mechanical application. Simply choose the correct edge or orientation to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
What’s the Best Way to Apply Without Getting Bubbles?
For smooth, bubble-free application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free. Begin by applying one edge and use a squeegee, ruler, or credit card to gradually smooth out, pressing firmly to remove any air pockets.
Usage & Application
How Can I Ensure Adhesion Without Peeling?
All of our custom products use strong, permanent adhesives suitable for surfaces like cardboard, glass, plastic, and metal. If you need a removable option, we provide repositionable adhesives that peel off cleanly without leaving residue.
Can I Write on These?
Yes, they are suitable for handwriting! Our paper options with a matt finish work well with pens, pencils, and markers. For plastic, foil, or gloss finishes, a permanent marker is recommended.
