Label and Sticky label Printing: What You Want to Know

You can design your labels any way you want at UPrinting. While customization is a great perk, printing labels for commercial use involves more than your creativity and printing budget. Some practical, and even legal, factors have to be taken in consideration first. We’ve compiled some label do’s and dont’s to guide you in your next label printing order. Avoid mistakes and complications with these design tips.

Make sure you’re following labeling laws

This one is particularly important if you’re selling food products or beverages. Your products will need to have labels that follow FDA guidelines for food labeling and nutritional information. To learn about the guidelines for the industry and find out what your labels can and can’t include, you can visit the FDA Labeling & Nutrition site.

Food label

If you’re having label printing done for clothing, you’ll be held to the FTC guidelines for care labeling and U.S. Textile and Wool Acts regarding fabric and textiles labeling.

For a general overview of the U.S. laws governing all product labeling and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, check out Compliance Online’s primer on the law.

Think about how your labels will be used

Will your product be refrigerated or frozen? Will it be exposed to the outdoor elements? If so, have you thought about the label type you’ll use and how it will hold up under these conditions? Here at UPrinting, we offer sticker printing on both 70 lb. matte labels and high gloss (UV) paper labels. We also have vinyl waterproof labels for water bottles and other beverages.

If you have any questions or concerns about how our stickers hold up, give us a call at 1-888-888-4211 and we’d be happy to help.

Always use a four-color printing process

If you’re printing labels for your products, now’s not the time to opt for an amateur, digital print job that looks like it was done on a home color laser printer. Instead, always opt for four-color stickers done on offset printing. Your colors will show up brighter, crisper and clearer on the special label paper stock.
