A label consists of a piece of paper, cardboard, plastic or other similar material that is adhered, attached, fixed or hung on an object to indicate what it is, what it contains or other information related to it, such as its classification or price.
There are many types of labels:
As with other products, there is no standard size for label printing.
Its size varies according to the product we want to label.
The label for a garment is not the same size or format as for a wine bottle or a fire extinguisher.
The size chosen should accommodate all the information, classification or price you need to include on the label, so that the data appears clearly and legibly.
It is possible to make labels in custom shapes, using the corresponding die.
Tickets can be printed on one or both sides in one of the following ways:
Labels can include barcodes, QR codes or even personalization with variable data to complete the product information and read it later with a barcode reader when necessary.
We can use techniques such as stamping, selective UV varnish, plastic coating/laminating and embossing, among others, to give extra added value to our label.
If we combine these techniques with a good design we can produce attractive and easy-to-read labels for our products.
Although there is a very varied amount of media for printing labels, the most commonly used could be coated, laid and offset paper and card.
We have special paper for labelling bottles suitable for automatic bottling machines and easy cleaning.
These are some of the main features of the labels to ensure their effectiveness:
