Bag Labeling Solutions  for Food, Coffee, Snacks, & More

While we don’t produce pre-printed bags or resealable pouches, we specialize in high-quality labels that are a perfect fit for plain or generic pre-printed bags. If you’re using kraft paper bags, foil pouches, or other unbranded packaging, a custom label is a cost-effective and flexible way to showcase your brand and meet your labeling needs without the high minimums or lead times that often come with custom bag printing.

Our labels are ideal for differentiating between product varieties—whether you’re selling coffee, snacks, tea, or dry goods. You can use a single, generic bag design and apply different labels to identify flavors, scents, or batch information. This approach not only saves money but also gives you more control over your inventory and design updates.

We offer labels in a wide range of materials, finishes, and adhesives to suit your packaging type, including options that hold up well to moisture, heat sealing, and refrigeration. Whether you’re hand-applying labels or using an applicator, we’ll help you choose the right format and layout for a smooth labeling process.

If you’re looking for a versatile way to brand your bags without committing to printed packaging runs, labels are the smart, scalable solution.

Key Features of Labels for Bags & Pounches

When it comes to packaging your product, labels offer a flexible, cost-effective alternative to fully custom-printed bags—especially for small batches, seasonal flavors, or evolving product lines. Whether you’re working with kraft bags, foil pouches, or clear-front packaging, the right label adds both function and style, helping you share your brand story, identify product details, and stand out on the shelf.

Bag labels are especially useful for businesses that want to scale without committing to large packaging runs or investing in separate printed bags for each variety. They offer the agility to keep your inventory simple while still providing the detail and polish today’s customers expect.

At Columbine Label, we help you find label solutions that not only look great but also perform reliably on your packaging—through handling, shipping, and storage. From food-safe adhesives to eye-catching finishes, every detail matters when you’re building a consistent, professional product line.

Below are four important features to consider when selecting labels for bags—each one designed to support both your product and your process.

Adhesion Strength

Bag labels need to stick securely to kraft paper, foil, or plastic without lifting—especially around seams, folds, or curves—ensuring your branding stays intact from production to point-of-sale.

Moisture and Temperature Resistance

Labels may be exposed to heat sealing, refrigeration, or moisture. Choosing materials and adhesives that withstand these conditions ensures labels remain legible, intact, and professional-looking.

Print Quality and Finish

High-resolution print and finish options like matte and gloss add visual appeal and enhance your brand, helping your product stand out on crowded shelves.

Customization and Flexibility

Labels make it easy to run multiple flavors or product varieties using the same generic bag. This keeps costs down and allows for smaller runs without sacrificing brand consistency.
