The right custom lip balm labels do more than just look good—they keep your branding strong, protect your product, and meet labeling requirements. Whether you are launching a new lip balm or updating your packaging, your labels must be strong and high-quality. They should also fit your product perfectly.
When picking the best label sizes, make sure your lip balm tubes and labels have the right safety seal. Wizard Labels makes this process easy. We offer high-quality materials, free templates, and quick label order options.
Choosing the Right Label Material
Lip balm labels need to hold up against constant handling, moisture, and oils. That’s why the material you choose matters.
We offer BOPP labels with a tight mandrel adhesive, a durable, water-resistant option that keeps your custom lip balm packaging looking sharp:
- White BOPP – Classic, non-transparent, and works with any design.
- Clear BOPP – Creates a no-label look, letting your tube show through.
- Metallic BOPP – Adds a sleek, reflective finish for a premium touch.
Each option is oil-resistant and smudge-proof, meaning your lip gloss and balm labels stay looking fresh—even after repeated use. Just make sure you select a tight mandrel material during the checkout process - this material is best for products with a small diameter, like lip balm labels, perfume rollers, etc.
Lip Balm Label Dimensions and Templates
Getting the right label size is key to making sure your custom lip balm labels fit perfectly. Standard chapstick label size is 2.125" x 2.125", but different designs require different fits.
To make things easy, we offer this lip balm label dieline template that ensures perfect placement every time.
Using a lip balm label template prevents crooked applications or cut-off designs, saving time and reducing mistakes.
To order lip balm labels directly from our quoter, you'll need to select "Special" as the Shape, enter your label size (typically 2.125" x 2.125"), then select one of our tight mandrel BOPP options. You will also need to select your unwind direction (we usually recommend #2, bottom off first, for lip balm labels). Once you proceed to checkout, you can leave a note in our "Order Notes" section with any other notes you may have for us regarding your lip balm labels. If you have any difficulty with this process or have any questions, don't hesitate to Contact Us for assistance.
We have included this 'safety seal' area in our label template available here.
Why Safety Seals Matter
A safety seal is one of the most important details on lip balm tubes and labels. It protects your product, reassures customers, and keeps your brand compliant.
What Is a Safety Seal?
A perforated strip on the label serves as a safety seal that you must break to open the product. It works as a built-in security feature, preventing tampering and keeping products fresh.
Why Use Safety Seals?
- Trust & professionalism – Customers feel more confident when they know their lip balm hasn’t been opened or tampered with.
- No need for shrink bands – Instead of adding extra shrink wrap, the safety seal is part of the label, making the process simpler.
- Easy to apply – Our lip balm labels with safety seals come pre-cut with perforations, making them simple to use.
Adding a safety seal makes sure your lip balm tubes and labels meet industry standards. It also keeps your packaging clean and easy to use.
How to Design Custom Lip Balm Labels That Stand Out
- Pick the Right Colors
- Bright colors work well for flavored balms and fun branding.
- Minimalist neutrals create a clean, high-end look.
- Metallic or clear labels add a modern feel.
- Make Text Easy to Read
Lip balm tubes are small. Clean fonts and high contrast colors help make important details clear. This includes ingredients and expiration dates.
- Consider Personalization
Personalized lip balm labels are great for events, giveaways, and promotional branding. We offer custom printing so you can add logos, unique designs, or special messages to make your product stand out.
