Labels can be made in just about any shape. Circles often work well on jar lids or candle tops, while rectangles are common on bottles, pouches, and cleaning sprays. Squares give a crisp, modern look for spice jars or small boxes. Ovals create a softer style that fits beauty or health products. If you want something unique, we can cut labels to match your design.

We focus on the most popular and reliable options. White BOPP is durable and water-resistant, making it a fit for sauces, beverages, or bath products. Chrome BOPP adds a metallic shine, often used for cosmetics or energy drinks.

White Gloss gives a bright, clean finish that’s common for food packaging or bag seals. Tight Mandrel material is designed for slim tubes like lip balm or vials where regular labels might lift.

Finishes change how a label looks and feels. Gloss makes colors bright and shiny, a popular choice for food jars or kids’ products. Matte creates a softer, natural style you’ll see on wine bottles and organic foods. Soft Touch Matte adds a velvety texture often used on skincare or candle labels. If you need to add batch codes or dates, thermal transfer laminates (gloss or matte) let you print or write on top. We have a guide on how to find the perfect finish for your labels.

Hand application is simple: peel, place, and press. It works well for small batches like seasonal candles or homemade sauces. For larger runs, machines apply labels quickly and in the same spot every time. Machine setups are more exact — core size, unwind direction, and roll orientation all need to be correct to keep things running smoothly.

Unwind direction is the way labels are positioned on a roll. For hand application it doesn’t matter, but for machines it’s critical. If the roll is set up wrong, labels may feed sideways or upside down. On a beer canning line, for example, one incorrect roll setup can waste time and product. For details, see our guide to unwind direction.

Label sizes range from small ones for spice jars to larger panels for wine bottles, boxes, and pouches. The right size depends on your container, how much information you need, and how much space you want covered. A simple way to test fit is to measure the flat space on your container, print a sample on paper, and wrap it around. For more help, see our Custom Label Size Guide.
