Please don’t leave printing out of the label design process

All label design is impacted by what is possible with the printing process. Whether you are designing your own labels or stickers, or working with a graphic designer, it is worth consulting your printer before you finalise designs as you will need to consider all elements including:

• Colour
• Font
• Background
• Material selection
• Printing method
• Printing bleed
• Environment of product (indoor, outdoor, temperature, moisture, chemical etc)

Keep in mind that the quality of your design is what makes your labels look good. It is the difference between a forgettable label and one that grabs attention.

Our printing knowledge and state of the art equipment mean that we can make an average design look good, but with the same effort we can make a good design look spectacular! So investing in design from the beginning is well worth it.

Our team of expert printers are very accustomed to working with graphic designers, so if you have a designer on board, the easiest thing to do is give them our details. That way we can save you time and money by early collaboration and problem solving.
