Label & Packaging Solutions: A Practical Guide to Options, Specs, and Ordering

Last updated: 2026-01-03

If you’re here, you don’t need a generic print shop. You need a label partner that understands materials, roll specs, and how labels behave once they leave the studio and hit real distribution.

Two paths to order:

Typical production is 3–5 business days after proof approval.

What we cover (labels first)

Roll labels

Best for product lines, repeat runs, and clean application.

White BOPP →

Clear labels

“No‑label look” when the container is part of the brand.

Clear BOPP →

Metallic & premium

When you want contrast, shine, and shelf impact.

Metallic →

Die‑cut

Custom shapes for promos, packaging seals, and branding.

Die‑cut labels →

Compliance & warning

Clear layouts, durable materials, consistent reorders.

Compliance labels →

Promo & event

Short runs and fast iterations for campaigns.

Promo labels →

Material selection (don’t guess)

The “right” label is the one that survives the environment it’s going into. If you need a starting point:

  • Moisture/oils/handling: film labels are usually safer than paper
  • Clear packaging: clear films for the no‑label look
  • Heat/industrial use: ask for a construction matched to the exposure

Read: Film vs paper labels.

Roll specs (core, OD, unwind) — the part everyone forgets

If you apply labels with a machine, roll specs matter as much as the label design. Use these guides to avoid misfeeds and wrong orientation:

Our production workflow (tight, repeatable)

  1. Specs in: you tell us size/material/finish + upload artwork (or ask for design help).
  2. Proof: you approve the final before production.
  3. Production: QC checks for consistency and readability.
  4. Delivery: shipped across the Golden Horseshoe (service area only).

Design help (optional)

If you don’t have print‑ready artwork, we can help. If you need a fast starting point, the “Neural Draft” add‑on creates a first-pass direction you can approve/refine before production.
