Stickers and labels come in a myriad of shapes, sizes, and materials, each suited for different applications. At The Print Warehouse, we understand that selecting the right type can be daunting. Whether you're labeling products, packaging, or promotional materials, this guide will help you make an informed decision.
1. Freezer Labels: Ensuring Durability in Cold Conditions
Q: I need labels for frozen goods like ready meals or ice cream tubs. What should I use?
A: For items stored in freezing conditions, Polypropylene (PP) labels are ideal. Available in gloss white, transparent, or metallic silver finishes, PP labels can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C without peeling or degrading. They're perfect for maintaining a professional appearance on frozen products.
2. Waterproof Stickers: Resisting Moisture and Wear
Q: Which stickers are best for products exposed to water or moisture?
A: Polypropylene and Polyester stickers are both waterproof and durable, making them suitable for items like shampoo bottles or outdoor equipment. For a premium look, especially on wine bottles submerged in ice buckets, our White Waterproof Hammered Paper labels offer both elegance and resilience.
3. Food-Safe Labels: Safe and Compliant for Edibles
Q: I require labels for food packaging that won't peel off or contaminate the product. Suggestions?
A: Our Natural Greaseproof Paper labels are food-safe and designed to repel grease and odours, making them perfect for oily or fatty foods. For ambient goods, Jar Labels are cost-effective and suitable for manual application. If you're on a tight budget, our Best Buy Labels offer a no-frills solution for pricing or promotional needs.
4. Takeaway Labels: Writable and Heat-Resistant
Q: I need labels for hot takeaway containers that I can write on without smudging. What do you recommend?
A: Our Natural Greaseproof Paper labels are easy to write on and have a protective coating that withstands heat and moisture. They're food-safe and ideal for hot food packaging.
5. Simple Circle Stickers: Versatile and Easy to Use
Q: I just want straightforward circle stickers. What are my options?
A: Our Circle Stickers are available in various sizes and materials, suitable for branding, sealing packages, or promotional giveaways. They're easy to apply and can be customised to fit your brand's aesthetic.
6. Multiple Designs: Custom Sheets for Variety
Q: I have several sticker designs. Can I print them all at once?
A: Absolutely! Our Custom Sheet Stickers allow you to print multiple designs on a single sheet, offering flexibility and convenience. This option is perfect for product ranges, promotional sets, or event giveaways.
7. Vinyl Stickers: Durable and Weather-Resistant
Q: Do vinyl stickers block out the surface underneath?
A: Vinyl stickers are partially opaque. For designs with dark backgrounds, such as navy blue or black, they effectively obscure the underlying surface. Vinyl is durable, weather-resistant, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
