❓Do you apply your own labels by hand?

➡️ If you’re a new business and are looking to apply your own labels, here are 3 tips to help you.

💥 SAVE THIS POST TO REFER TO LATER💥

1️⃣ Before placing your order, make sure you have the right dimensions for the product you’re labelling that allow clearance from any of the curves or bottle shoulders.

2️⃣ Consider the material you are sticking your label to. Plastic bottles expand in different temperatures. Using a similar material to your product can help here. For example, using a polypropylene label for a polypropylene bottle, a paper label wouldn’t fare as well and may appear wrinkly with climate changes.

3️⃣ The right adhesive matters. Something that has a high-tack adhesive will stick too quickly and doesn’t allow for removal/proper placement. Opting for an adhesive that allows you to reposition is far less stressful! Using an adhesive that builds over time (usually 12-24 hours) will help.

▶️ SWIPE TO SEE COLOUR MEANINGS ▶️


🌈 Colour is an emotional connector and helps attract your consumer. This doesn’t mean that you have to go for colours that are bold and brash. Colour communicates and helps share the story of your brand, whether this is expressed in softer or bolder tones.


🌈 Understanding your brand values and colours before going into choosing colours at random, can help your products stand out for the right reasons.

📣 As promised, here is some more helpful information on Speciality Stocks…

📣 Recently we shared some information on how specialty stocks can help your labels to stand out. Here are some examples of these and their benefits…

➡️ METALLIC STOCKS
Often used with a variety of colours an example of this is printing your label with a yellow base which will give you a bright gold background. You can use these with a Matt or gloss finish with gloss giving a lush mirrored effect.

➡️ HOLOGRAPHIC STOCK
Similar to the above metallics, they give a 3D effect by reflecting colours which can be in a variety of patterns like glitter, rainbow, and prism. You’ll sometimes see these used as security background material as they’re often hard to reproduce. These are great for creating special effects or highlights.

➡️ TEXTURED LINEN STOCK
Consumers are invited to pick up and get a tangible connection with your product. This also handles well with embossing and foil printing, which can add a touch of contrast without taking from the welcoming vibe of your product.

➡️ CLEAR FILM STOCK
The clarity allows you to showcase your product in a simple, but concise manner. This stock is great for silkscreening or imprinting with colour, giving your label a low-fuss, no-nonsense yet uber-cool appearance.

💥 There are some incredible stocks available with more details than we can list here within one post. Speak to one of our label legends on the team, and they’ll guide you toward the best label print for your product!

creates everyday adventure luxuries which have been inspired by the Gariwerd and country life of the Victorian Grampian region.

Handcrafted from locally-grown organic olive and h**p seed oil, their lather and lotion duets are scented with bespoke blends of 100% pure essential oils. Their Grampians Grown Sandstone Soap Scrubs and H**p Husk Body Bars are palm-oil-free and handmade using the traditional cold-process soap-making method.

Their products are born from a vision to create a truly authentic bath and body range to compliment the sensory experience of their Aromatherapy Candle Collection.

We supported their brand by printing their labels using Contone Bianco for the candles, and Verdure Riverstone for their bath products.

💥 Do you need to label your product while keeping it within a budget?

⬇️ Here are some things to consider…

✅ LABEL SIZE
During a print run, work is combined according to size. For example, if your front and back labels are different in size you’ll be making other print runs that require separate set-ups, which increases cost.

✅ KEEP YOUR DESIGN ARTWORK CONSISTENT
The more artwork changes you make prior to your print run, the more the cost increases. It’s really important you have an internal sign-off process and it helps to have other people's eyes check over the work before it goes off to print.

✅ COLOURS
The more colours you have, the more this increases the price. However, you need to consider the effect of fewer colours on your label, and how this may impact grabbing the attention of your customer. It’s really important to think of the effect on sales that this could have.

✅ LABEL QUANTITY
Consider the number of labels you need, as well as when you’re likely to need a reprint. Generally producing a larger print run will save you money. You might decide to run with digital printing which can also reduce costs (depending on what you're wanting on your label and how many you need).
