Custom Printed Labels

Custom Printed Labels for Product Packaging

Custom printed labels help products communicate brand identity, ingredients, instructions, traceability and regulatory information at the point of sale. SZKAYU manufactures labels for bottles, jars, boxes, pouches, containers and other packaging, with the material, adhesive, print method and finishing selected around the real application.

A reliable label must do more than look attractive. It needs to stay flat, adhere to the target surface, tolerate the use environment and run correctly during manual or automatic application. We review the container material, label size, production quantity and performance requirements before recommending a construction. This reduces avoidable problems such as edge lifting, wrinkling, poor barcode readability or labels that are difficult to dispense.

What We Need for a Fast Quote

• Finished label width, height, shape and order quantity
• Application surface, such as glass, PET, HDPE, PP, metal or coated paperboard
• Use environment, including moisture, oil, refrigeration, freezing, heat or outdoor exposure
• Artwork, number of colors and any Pantone color requirements
• Required finish, such as gloss, matte, foil, embossing, varnish or laminate
• Supply format: rolls, sheets or individual pieces
• For rolls: core size, maximum roll diameter, winding direction and labeling-machine requirements
• Variable data requirements, including QR codes, barcodes, serial numbers or batch information

Photos or samples of the container are useful when adhesive selection or label shape is critical. For difficult surfaces and demanding environments, a production-representative sample test is recommended before the full order.

Choose the Right Label Format

Roll Labels

Custom roll labels are suited to automatic labeling equipment, higher production volumes and efficient hand application. Core diameter, label gap, roll diameter and unwind direction can be matched to your machine.

Sheet Labels

Custom sheet labels are convenient for smaller batches, multiple designs and controlled manual application. A4, A5 and custom sheet layouts are available according to label size and handling requirements.

Individual Die-Cut Stickers

Custom die-cut stickers are cut to the artwork shape and supplied as separate pieces. They are commonly used for promotional packs, events, brand inserts and applications where each sticker is handled individually.

Label Materials and Adhesive Options

Material selection affects appearance, durability, conformability and cost. Common options include coated and uncoated paper, kraft paper, clear or white BOPP, PET, PVC or vinyl, metallized film and specialty security materials.

• Paper labels: economical for dry products, cartons, retail packaging and short-life applications
• BOPP film labels: moisture-resistant and widely used on food, beverage, cosmetic and household-product packaging
• PET labels: suitable for applications requiring dimensional stability, chemical resistance or higher durability
• Clear film labels: create a no-label look when the container, adhesive and printing method are correctly matched
• Metallized and holographic materials: add reflective effects and can support premium or brand-protection applications

Adhesive options include permanent, removable, high-tack, freezer or low-temperature constructions. Curved, rough and low-surface-energy materials such as untreated PP or PE should be tested before mass production.

Printing and Finishing Options

• Full-color CMYK and Pantone spot-color printing
• White ink for clear, metallic and colored materials
• Gloss or matte lamination and protective varnish
• Hot foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV
• Metallic, textured and tactile effects by project
• Sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes and other variable data
• Custom die cutting, perforation and security cuts

How We Develop Your Custom Labels

1. Application review: We confirm the container surface, size, use environment, quantity and labeling method.
2. Construction selection: We recommend the face material, adhesive, print process and protective finish.
3. Artwork and proofing: We review dielines, colors, barcodes, fine text and variable-data requirements before production.
4. Production and inspection: Labels are printed, converted, inspected and packed in the requested roll, sheet or individual format.

Quality Checks for Printed Labels

Quality control can include artwork and color verification, print registration, die-cut alignment, label dimensions, roll winding, barcode readability and visual inspection. Adhesion and application testing should use the actual container whenever surface energy, curvature, temperature or chemical exposure may affect performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a product label and a sticker?

The terms often overlap, but product labels usually carry branding, ingredients, instructions or traceability information and are designed for a specific container. Stickers may also be promotional or decorative and can be supplied in individual shapes.

Which label material is best for waterproof packaging?

BOPP, PET and other film materials are commonly used where moisture resistance is required. The final construction should also consider the adhesive, ink system, protective finish and length of exposure.

Can you recommend an adhesive for PP, PE or textured surfaces?

Yes. These surfaces may need a high-tack or low-surface-energy adhesive. Please provide the exact substrate or a sample so adhesion can be evaluated before production.

Can the labels run on an automatic labeling machine?

Yes. Please provide the core size, roll diameter, label gap, unwind direction and machine requirements. We will arrange the roll specification to suit the application.

Can you print Pantone colors, barcodes and unique QR codes?

Yes. Pantone spot colors, barcodes, sequential numbers, unique QR codes and other variable information can be produced according to the artwork and supplied data.

Can I request samples, and what is the minimum order quantity?

Sample options and minimum quantities depend on the material, size, printing and finishing. Standard material samples may be available, while fully customized samples may require production setup.
