FOR SMALL PRODUCERS & BRANDS

Custom Food Labels

A good label turns packaged food into a finished, recognisable product. We print custom food labels for jars, bottles, boxes and other suitable food packaging.

Ideal for testing a new product, producing smaller batches or running regular small- and medium-scale production.

  • Your own design
  • Small & larger quantities
  • Weather-resistant label film
  • Printed & cut in Estonia

What makes a good food label design?

  • make the product name easy to find
  • keep the brand recognisable across the range
  • build a clear visual hierarchy
  • keep text readable at the actual final size
  • use sufficient contrast
  • keep important elements away from the cut edge
  • use high-quality logos and images
  • design at the actual physical dimensions
THE PRODUCER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCT INFORMATIONFood labelling requirements vary depending on the product and the market where it is sold. Before printing, make sure the artwork contains the information required for your product.

Food labels don't have to be rectangular

Printed and contour-cut to the shape your packaging actually needs.

Rectangle

Room for ingredients and product information.

Square

A balanced, simple format for a flat package front.

Round

Useful for jar lids or smaller front labels.

Oval

A classic format for preserves and bottles.

Custom-shaped

Contour-cut around your design when the shape itself is part of the branding.

Mind the usable surface

The label needs to fit the usable packaging surface, not simply the overall dimensions of the container.

Measure before you design

Measure the area where the label will actually be applied before designing it.

NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR PACKAGING SURFACE?

Send us a photo or sample of the packaging and we'll help you choose the most suitable material.

How your stickers are printed

Eight print colors instead of four

Every sticker ordered here is printed on the same production equipment — you do not have to choose a print quality separately.

We print with the latest Roland TrueVis equipment — alongside CMYK there is a gray base color plus green, orange and red, which is exactly what a sticker order needs: brand colors that hold, and photos that stay photographic.

In practice this means:

brand colors reproduce more accuratelyphotos keep their detail and tonesgradients print more smoothlyneutral grays stay neutralthe same quality for one sticker or a thousand

Frequently asked questions about food labels

Yes. Our labels are printed on weather-resistant adhesive film and suit normal use in moist conditions. If the packaging sees frequent condensation, rubbing or cleaning, a laminated option adds further protection.
