Custom Labels call attention to your business

What makes a label fun and effective? What it boils down to for most people is the customization of the design. With custom label printing, you can create labels that will drive a positive impression and instant brand recognition. Labels easily promote your business as part of your product packaging, whether used for mailing as custom address labels or as custom wine labels. They also play an important role in event organizers that need to print personalized labels for weddings and other events.

What’s the Difference Between Labels and Stickers?

Labels and stickers are often used interchangeably to refer to a piece of sticky graphic. Although both share some qualities (e.g., materials, adhesives, shapes, etc.), stickers and labels differ on how they are used:  

Labels 

Labels are often used for brand identification and for providing information. They can be used on product packaging and shipping boxes but can also be used for personal items. Label size is usually determined by the surface where they will be used. For example, a 3” x 3” round label could go on a mason jar or on a water bottle.  

Stickers 

Stickers are typically printed to promote a brand or cause. In offline marketing, stickers serve as a seal of approval or thumbs up from customers when used. Stickers can be inserted in packages, handed out to customers, and given as a freebie with every purchase.  

 

When to Use Singles and Roll Labels

At UPrinting, you can print singles (formerly known as cut-to-size) or roll labels. Singles are individually cut in your chosen shape and are suitable for labeling specialty products and gifts. Our wide size range lets you print labels as small as 1.5” x 2.5” to as big as 8.5” x 11”. You can print these on two types of materials:

* Writable with permanent ink markers given sufficient drying time.

 

Roll Label Materials

Roll labels are the more practical choice for those who need to label products in bulk manually or using a dispenser. They’re easier to peel but also fit in most label dispensers for fast and easy application. You can adjust the label’s design according to our custom sizes and die-cutting options. 


* Writable with permanent ink markers given sufficient drying time.

 

Both singles and roll materials come in a matte, gloss, or high-gloss finish. Matte offers a rustic and organic look, while gloss and high-gloss surfaces let the colors pop. Both matte and gloss are applied on labels found on products displayed indoors. 

Are All the Labels Writable? 

Need to add notes and other information to your labels? Here is a list of materials that you can write on.  

  • 70 lb. label matte can be written on with a permanent marker. This material is ideal for adding best-by dates by hand. 
  • 70 lb. label high-gloss UV has an extra smooth surface that is only writable with a permanent marker only. We recommend letting the ink dry completely before handling to avoid smudges.
  • Textured estate?labels (white vellum, white laid, and cream laid) are writable when uncoated. Use both pens and permanent markers to personalize your labels.
  • 4 mil. white vinyl high-gloss UV has a shiny surface that allows only permanent markers for writing. Make sure to have ample drying time before use. 

Choose From Our Available Shapes or Customize It 

Our custom labels are also available in several die-cut shapes such as: Square/Rectangle, Circle, Oval, Arch, Hexagon, Heart, and Starburst.

How to Peel Off Labels 

Labels come with a protective backing that prevents the adhesive from losing its stickiness. Sometimes, peeling off labels can create unsightly creases on the product. Here are some tips on how you can peel and apply labels: 

 

Singles Labels 

These labels have two panels that you need to bend and peel to reveal the adhesive. Here’s a short video demonstrating the correct way of removing the backing from singles labels:  

 

Kiss-Cut Labels 

Kiss-cut labels have a large backing that is not trimmed to the shape of the label. To remove the labels, gently lift one side and slowly pull the rest to avoid creasing. 

 

Sheet Labels 

These labels come with one large backing. Carefully separate the labels from the backing with your finger. Look for the outline on the backing to see where you can lift off the label.  

 

Roll Labels 

The easiest to peel off, roll labels can be peeled off by just lifting a corner from the backing. Slowly pull the label away from the backing. If you need to, move to another corner and peel to prevent wrinkling.

Q:
Would I be able to buy a blank roll of the matte metallic weatherproof poly stickers and load it into my own printer? The paper and printer are compatible, but is there a coating on the stickers that would cause the ink to smear if I were to print myself
Asked 13 days ago by Taylor
A:

There is actually a laminate which is like a coating so it would not really be compatible for printing or writing on.The only stock we have that we have seen a customer print on are the Estate Labels but these are matte paper material so they are not weatherproof.

Q:
Can I have you make a roll of stickers in a specific layout I create? For self-published books that need an ISBN sticker with a bar code and publisher on it?
Asked 7 months ago by Scott
A:

If each label is identical, we can do it. You would just need to submit your layout, in vector format preferably and it can be printed as a regular job. Just select the size and material you need on the Configure and Price area for roll stickers and upload your file after. You would need to make sure that when we send you the proof, you check if the barcode can be scanned properly before we send to print because we cannot be responsible for any issues down the line with regards to the barcode not being readable. If each roll sticker will be unique meaning each ISBN sticker is different, we wont be able to do it. We can print a single unique barcode with sequential numbering but this will need to be coordinated through our Custom Department so it would be better to call it in.

Q:
Can you write on the labels?
Asked 8 months ago by Pamela
A:

Hi there!

Thank you so much for the question. I would be more than glad to answer this inquiry. 

Although we offer paper material for our stickers, most of them don't have the best writability properties due to the coating or lamination. The best sticker types we can offer are the textured materials for roll labels. As long as we don't add any lamination to these, they can be written on. You may click the link below for reference.

Q:
I like the "Sweet honey" label you have as the default image, but then that shape doesn't seem to be one of the selections you can actually order.
Asked 8 months ago by Joshua
A:

Hi, Joshua! 

Thank you so much for the question. I understand that you wanted the same shape of the sticker that says "Sweet Honey" on the website. I would be more than happy to answer your inquiry! To get started, kindly make sure that you are able to choose the correct specifications. In order to get that shape, kindly make sure to choose custom shape. Then provide an artwork with a guideline of the shape for your cut-to-size stickers.

I hope this helps!
