Sometimes a product requires multiple labels, for example a front and a back label on the same bottle. If you're in this position, there are several things that can help you optimize your investment like the size of the labels, the shape of the container, and how you are going to apply the labels.

Trying to visualize how a label design will look after it has been printed is not always as simple as looking at the design on a computer screen and assuming that the printed result will look identical. This is why we offer the option for you to order a 'Concept Proof' before your order goes into production. Learn now on how to best complete your ‘Concept Proof.’

We're exposed to many product labels and the majority on store shelves are common shapes (circles, squares, etc.), but you may want to create a product label that is custom-shaped. Learn the two main reasons why custom-shaped product labels are chosen and how to effectively order them. 

When you wrap a label around something that’s small in circumference, the material has a natural tendency to “unravel” back to its normally flat position.

We could tell you the simple truth that the size of your label just “depends.” But, it’s beneficial for you to be as knowledgeable in your choice so you can receive a product label that you’re happy with. Here are some custom label tips that will help you navigate the big choices like size, design, and material.

We discuss how in the USA, we use the “Imperial” system of measurement for most things. How does this affect the labeling business? Well, ALL other companies expect you to convert your fractions to decimals, but at Wizard Labels, we make BOTH fractions and decimals available to you.

If you plan to use tapered containers for your products (i.e. where the sides of the container aren't perfectly perpendicular), be aware that your label design project suddenly becomes more complicated. Read here for a detailed explanation of the challenge (and the solution).

Your product label is the face of your brand and there are many factors that go into the decision of choosing a package that the label goes on. Here are some key points of consideration that Wizard Labels can help you with: presentation vs. utility, the container type, the container size, and the container’s surface. 

There is much more that goes into designing a product label than size and shape. First, it all comes down to a balanced combination of presentation and usability.
