Label Types FAQs
How do I save on printing custom labels?
Looking for discounted prices for each label? We recommend ordering in bulk to lower the cost per piece. This lets you stretch a limited budget for a larger quantity.
How will I know if the label will fit my product?
Estimate the approximate dimensions of your label with the following steps:
- Cut out a piece of paper that will be used to measure the width and height of your label.
- Wrap the paper tightly around the container or flat on the surface it will be applied on. Measure the width and height based on the paper after it’s placed on the area.
Do you offer free sample labels?
No, but you can order a minimum of 25 singles/cut-to-size sheets, 100 labels on rolls, 25 sheets, and kiss-cut labels. A smaller quantity lets you study the quality and see if the print is fit for larger quantity order.
Can I review the label before it is printed?
Yes, after uploading the file select “Wait – I want to receive and approve a free PDF proof” under “Select a Proofing Option.” We will only print the file after you’ve emailed the approval.
