Ordering Instructions:
Step 1: PLACING YOUR ORDER
Select the material type, laminate, and quantity you would like. Be sure to select the important note before adding the label to your cart.
Choosing Your Material:
-
White BOPP Labels - White BOPP labels are our most commonly used material and are suitable for most applications. White BOPP labels are made with polypropylene material and have a permanent adhesive. It is impervious to water and oils, and is particularly suitable for bath and body products, as well as food and beverage products.
Choosing Your Laminate:
-
High Gloss - High gloss is our most popular laminate. It provides protection for the label and a high gloss shiny finish.
-
Matte - The Matte Laminate provides your label with a dull almost satin like non-glossy finish. Some customers consider this achieves a more "natural" or "modern" look.
Choose Your Quantity:
-
Press Proofs Available - We offer a sample press proof for $14.95 print + shipping. This is a printed laminated physical copy of your label. Think of the sample press proof as a prototype of your order. This is an option that many of our clients choose so they can see what the label looks like on their product before committing to hundreds of labels.
Multiple Versions:
-
Orders can be split into multiple print versions for a $25 fee per version. Minimum of 100 labels per art version. You can add this fee to your cart here.
