How to Upgrade Your Packaging with Custom Printing & Labeling

Dec 4th 2024

In a crowded marketplace, grabbing attention is paramount. Your product might be the tastiest, healthiest, or most innovative, but if it doesn't stand out on the shelf, it could also get lost in the sea of competition. That's where custom labels come in.

ePackageSupply understands the power of impactful packaging. We know that a label is more than just a sticker; it's the face of your brand and a key tool for attracting customers and building loyalty.

Here's your guide to creating custom labels that truly pop:

  1. Know Your Brand Identity

Before diving into design, take a moment to define your brand's personality. Are you playful and fun? Rustic and artisanal? Modern and minimalist? Your labels should visually communicate your brand's essence.

  • Colors: Choose colors that align with your brand and evoke the right emotions.
  • Fonts: Select fonts that are legible and reflect your brand's style (classic, modern, quirky).
  • Logo: Make sure your logo is prominently displayed and easily recognizable.
  1. Tell Your Story

Use your label to tell a story about your product and your brand.

  • Highlight key ingredients or features: "Organic," "Locally Sourced," "Gluten-Free"
  • Share your brand's mission or values: "Sustainably Made," "Family Owned"
  • Connect with your target audience: Use language and imagery that resonates with your ideal customer.
  1. Design with Impact
  • Less is often more: Avoid clutter and keep the design clean and easy to read.
  • Use high-quality images: If using photos or illustrations, ensure they are professional and eye-catching.
  • Consider the shape and size: Don't be afraid to experiment with unique label shapes to make your product stand out.
  1. Choose the Right Printing Method

ePackageSupply offers a variety of printing and labeling options to bring your vision to life:

  • Sticker Labels: Ideal for applying labels to pre-made packaging. We offer a wide range of materials, adhesives, and finishes to suit your needs. Variety of shapes and sizes available!

  • Dry-Offset Printing: Cost-effective for large print runs directly on containers (like plastic tubs or metal cans). Ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the substrate, ensuring precise and consistent results.
  • Pouches: Custom printing can be applied directly onto the surface of
    pouches. Pouches offer a lightweight, durable, and often resealable packaging solution that helps preserve freshness.

  • Heat Transfer Labels: A labeling process where a pre-printed image on a film is transferred onto the surface of a product using heat and pressure. Great for flexible packaging and curved surfaces, providing high-quality graphics.

  • In-Mold Labeling: A pre-printed label is placed inside a mold before the plastic product is formed. The label and the product become one during the molding process, creating a seamless, durable finish.

  • Box Printing: Enhance brand visibility with personalized logos, designs, and messaging printed directly on your boxes.
  1. Don't Forget the Essentials
  • Legal Requirements: Ensure your labels comply with all relevant labeling regulations, including chemical warnings, ingredient lists, nutritional information, and allergen statements.
  • Barcodes and QR Codes: Include barcodes for easy scanning at checkout and consider adding QR codes to link to your website, social media, or product information.
