Food Packaging Labels
The correct labels and stickers are essential for food product packaging. We supply businesses of all sizes, from smaller artisan producers and farmers to large companies, and help them craft high-quality, custom food labels.
Food label stickers are a shopping essential. They quietly help customers check nutrition facts, best-before dates, and ingredients. Printed in-house in the UK, our labels meet unrivalled standards. They are perfect for any budget, with a minimum order of just 25 stickers.
Materials
Regarding food labels, picking the right material is all about balancing what works and what looks good.
Our paper labels are an eco-conscious choice that caters to a wide range of food packaging requirements. Take our brown kraft paper; it’s a go-to for artisan brands wanting an earthy, handmade feel. For a more striking finish, our gloss paper delivers vivid colours that stand out, making your brand catch shoppers' eyes on the shelf. Alternatively, uncoated paper provides a practical, natural surface, ideal for adding handwritten details like ingredients or batch numbers.
If your labels need to be waterproof, suitable for fridge temperatures, or a bit of rough handling, our vinyl options are the right choice. White gloss vinyl is both smooth and waterproof, so it holds up beautifully on bottles, jars, or anything chilling in the fridge.
For a more subtle effect, white matt vinyl offers a refined, non-reflective finish while retaining excellent water resistance. For brands aiming to turn heads with a touch of luxury, our metallic labels in silver or gold bring that wow factor - perfect for highlighting awards, showcasing standout features, or simply elevating your packaging's appeal.
Most of our vinyl stickers are designed to withstand temperatures of -30°C, making them suitable for standard freezer use. However, a specialist adhesive and material may be required for deep freeze conditions below this limit, which we don't offer; we suggest requesting a free sample pack to test before ordering.
Adhesives
The right adhesive ensures your labels stay put and meet your packaging needs. We provide a range of options, each designed to match your chosen material and intended use.
If you need to remove your labels, a removable adhesive is recommended, as it leaves less sticky residue. However, this low-tack adhesive is not advised for more demanding uses.
Our most popular adhesive choice is permanent adhesive, and for good reason. It's suitable for most uses and is excellent for food stickers that need to sit pretty on the shelves without peeling off.
Extra-permanent adhesive, also known as high-tack, is ideal for low-energy surfaces like plastics. Select this option when a strong, long-lasting bond is required.
Uses
The versatility of food labels opens up a wealth of possibilities. For honey producers, custom stickers can highlight varietal details, like acacia or wildflower, while adding a rustic charm to honey jars. Use them on takeaway packaging to brand baked goods or on deli containers to list freshness dates and ingredients. Even small-batch preserves, like chutneys or jams, benefit from stickers that blend eye-catching logos with batch numbers. Pantry labels are another great fit, keeping bulk goods like spices, grains, or dried fruits neatly identified with clear, durable designs.
Unlock their full potential with creative twists. Add a QR code linking to a recipe featuring your product, complete with a shopping list for extra ingredients.
Our multiple design service lets you highlight flavour varieties. For example, you could use a red background and an image of a chilli for your chilli flavour or a yellow background and an image of a vanilla pod for your vanilla flavour.
