Labels and Stickers

What Types of Custom Labels and Stickers Does Packaging Ship Produce?

Packaging Ship produces four primary label and sticker formats for US brands:

Format	Best For	Min. Order	Key Feature
Roll Labels	Product jars, bottles, food packaging, candles	500 units	Dispenser-ready, fastest application
Sheet Labels	Low-volume branding, Etsy sellers, small batch	250 sheets	Multiple labels per sheet, easy hand-application
Die-Cut Stickers	Brand stickers, product seals, promotional use	500 units	Any custom shape — circle, oval, star, custom
Safety Labels	Industrial products, equipment, compliance marking	500 units	Durable vinyl, chemical and scratch resistant

Brands that need both labels and packaging in one order can combine custom labels and stickers with custom packaging boxes, same production run, one quote, free shipping on the combined order.

What Label and Sticker Material Is Right for Your Product?

The wrong label material is one of the most common ordering mistakes. A paper label on a product stored in a refrigerator will peel within 24 hours. A BOPP label on the same jar will stay in place through temperature changes, condensation, and handling. Packaging Ship offers five label face stock materials:

Material	Best For	Waterproof	Surface Finish	Durability
White Paper	Dry goods, candles, retail boxes	No	Matte or gloss	Indoor only
BOPP (Biaxially-oriented polypropylene)	Jars, bottles, food, beverages	Yes	Matte or gloss	High — waterproof
Clear BOPP	Products needing a no-label look	Yes	Gloss only	High — waterproof
White Vinyl	Outdoor products, equipment, industrial	Yes	Matte or gloss	Very high — UV resistant
Kraft Paper	Artisan products, organic brands, eco brands	No	Uncoated natural	Indoor only

For food products sold in refrigerators or freezers, BOPP is the standard choice. For products used outdoors or in industrial environments, vinyl is the correct material. For artisan and craft brands with a natural brand identity, kraft paper labels match the product aesthetic.

Custom Labels and Stickers Printing: What Each Method Delivers

Packaging Ship uses two printing methods for custom labels and stickers depending on quantity and color requirements:

Print Method	Best For	Color Accuracy	Available From
CMYK Digital	500–5,000 units, small batch, varied designs	Good — 300 DPI	500 units
Flexographic / Offset	5,000+ units, repeat label runs, Pantone match	Excellent — PMS exact	5,000 units

 Finishing options on all labels and stickers: gloss lamination, matte lamination, soft-touch lamination, spot UV for selective gloss effects, and cold foil for metallic accents in gold, silver, or rose gold. All finishes protect the printed surface from moisture, handling, and light exposure.

What Are Safety Labels and Stickers and Who Needs Them?

Safety labels and stickers are adhesive labels printed with hazard symbols, warning text, GHS pictograms, or compliance information for industrial products, electrical equipment, chemical containers, and machinery. They are printed on white vinyl with a scratch-resistant laminate to survive harsh environments, cleaning agents, and UV exposure.US brands ordering safety labels from Packaging Ship include: electrical equipment manufacturers needing UL marking labels, chemical product brands needing GHS-compliant hazard labels, industrial tool brands needing durability and warning labels, and automotive product brands needing chemical-resistant adhesive labels.Safety label specifications, material, adhesive strength, temperature resistance, and regulatory compliance, are confirmed at the time of order. Packaging Ship produces safety labels and standard brand labels in the same order to reduce freight costs.
