“Label Companies call all the time and want to show me their stuff. I don’t even look at them. I don’t shop labels. We’ve got that kind of relationship with Columbine Label. They are my oldest vendor. We have been with them forever and probably will e forever. I have no reason to look anywhere else. They’ve always taken really good care of us.”

FAQs
At Columbine Label, we offer a variety of product label options. We recommend using our custom quote form to explain your product to us so our team of label experts can recommend the best product label type for you.
Many people use the terms “sticker” and “label” interchangeably. However, our custom labels are printed on rolls or sheeted with the liner intact. Labels are meant to sell a product in a retail environment, whereas stickers are typically printed and die cut through the liner and are for promotional purposes. In other words, stickers say something and labels sell something. While we are happy to accept custom label orders of sizes starting at 250 labels, we do not offer printing options for stickers that do not have the liner intact.
We utilize two different printing technologies for our custom labels: digital printing and flexographic printing. Each method works well for specific scenarios, and we will help you determine which printing technology is best for your project before we start running your labels.
Digital printing involves transferring digital files directly to the press, which then applies ink or toner onto various substrates to produce sharp and vibrant images. This technology offers easy art or text edits, fast turnaround times, precise color reproduction, and the ability to print custom labels on demand, making it ideal for high quality, low volume product manufacturers and retailers.
Flexographic printing involves a flexible relief plate that is coated with ink and pressed onto a variety of label substrates. It provides high-speed production and excellent ink transfer. This printing technology is widely used in a variety of industries. It is great for longer runs, projects that are cut through the liner (like tag stock keg collars), and a variety of specialty projects that cannot be done digitally.
We use a wide variety of label materials, and each one serves a unique purpose. Our most commonly used materials include biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), tight mandrel, vinyl, digital wine stock, and tag stock. Columbine Label is also proud to offer recycled and eco-friendly stocks.
Yes, our custom labels can be printed in a variety of shapes and sizes.

It’s our goal to print high-quality product labels you are satisfied with, and our track record speaks for itself. However, if you are unhappy with your custom labels because of an error on our part, we will make it right by reprinting and delivering your labels at no charge.
We can typically produce orders within 3 to 5 business days. However, we cannot guarantee shipping times since that is determined by the shipping carrier.
UPS is our preferred carrier, but larger orders (over 150 pounds) can ship LTL. Additionally, local companies can also choose to pick up label orders or request them to be sent via courier (additional charges).
Please note: Shipping charges are additional and may show up as a second credit card charge.
Columbine Label specializes in the printing of high-quality product labels with a quick turnaround. While we can do quick text changes and small items like bar codes, our pre-press department is very busy and unavailable for full service design work. Give us a call and we can recommend a few graphic designers that are familiar with creating art that will work well with label printing processes.
Acceptable file types: AI files (Adobe Illustrator) with “create PDF compatible file” enabled when saving the file, PDFs. Art files should be a single page only. Do not submit a multi-page file (if you cannot separate your art, please email the art to your Columbine Label representative).
Columbine Label does not guarantee label designs comply with FDA label requirements.
However, you can access the FDA label requirements online and download them.
