Every step—from artwork setup to production and finishing—plays a role in creating labels that are functional, durable, and visually aligned with your brand. Knowing how the label printing process works can help you plan ahead, avoid delays, and choose the right specifications for your product. This breakdown covers each stage of the label manufacturing process so you can approach your next label project with clarity and confidence. ## Step 1: Submit Your Label Design Files (aka the Artwork) ![man holding a paper with branding ideas printed in the paper](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-artwork-300x200.jpg)A well-designed label with eye-catching graphics and the right product information is the foundation for an effective label. Sharing the design concept with your [product label printing provider](https://columbinelabel.com/) before placing an order helps avoid issues during prepress or production. Label printing companies can provide input on enhancing artwork and label performance, such as recommending font sizing, colors, or special printing techniques such as embossing or foil stamping. They can also recommend the best label size, material, or die based on your product type and application method. Final artwork should always follow the requirements established by the print provider. This includes CMYK color mode, minimum resolution, die lines, bleed/safe zones, and acceptable file format. File preparation is a key part of the label printing process, ensuring your label performs and prints as expected. ## Step 2: Choose Materials, Adhesives, and Finishes (Key to Cost and Performance) ![hand typing numbers in a calculator](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-pricing-300x200.jpg)Product label printing requires a quote based on all specifications, from size, shape, special printing techniques, number of colors, and SKUs to the [label material](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-choose-the-best-label-material-for-your-product/), adhesive, and quantity. Pricing is inextricably tied to the artwork, so these two steps go hand-in-hand in the label printing process. Every part of the label production process—size, materials, finish, and quantity—affects pricing, production speed, and label performance. A quote will be provided based on the specs submitted and will include an estimated turnaround time once the proof has been approved. Label cost is priced per 1,000, with additional plate and die charges when applicable. Shipping and applicable taxes are additional. A nominal fee for a label prototype can be added to the quote. If you’re trying to get a sense of cost before you finalize your specs, [our instant quote tool](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/) lets you plug in size, material, quantity, and finish to get a ballpark in under two minutes — no commitment required. It’s a good way to see how different spec choices affect pricing before you go into the details with our team. ## Step 3: Prepress and Proofing ![magnifier on top of a paper that has the color wheel printed on it](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-prepress-300x200.jpg) Prepress is a critical stage in the label manufacturing process, where your design is prepared for flawless reproduction. Once the final artwork has been submitted to the printer, the file goes through a preflight process to ensure it is compatible and includes all elements for printing. Catching any issues during this stage ensures the rest of the product label printing process goes smoothly. A PDF proof will be generated and emailed to the customer for approval. This is an important opportunity to question or double-check anything that looks inaccurate. How the artwork appears on the PDF proof is how the label will be printed. Once the customer submits digital proof approval and the printer receives it, the order is scheduled. The typical lead time at Columbine Label is three business days from proof approval; however, during busy times, this lead time may be longer. **Note:** Changes made after proof approval start the clock over again. If you’re new to label printing — or have been burned by revision delays before — it’s worth reviewing your files against [our art guidelines](https://columbinelabel.com/art-guidelines/) before you submit. It covers everything from bleed zones to color mode to file format, and catching issues here is a lot easier than catching them at proofing. ## Step 4: The Label Printing Process ![label printing machine printing labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-printing-300x169.jpg) Once your artwork is approved and the order is scheduled, the job moves into production. This is the core of the label printing process, where your design is brought to life on your chosen material. The [type of printing used](https://columbinelabel.com/printing-technology/)—digital or flexographic—depends on the label’s specifications. Digital printing is ideal for lower-quantity runs, multiple SKUs, or tight timelines. It offers consistent, high-quality color matching using inks specifically formulated for digital equipment, and doesn’t require printing plates. [Flexographic printing](https://columbinelabel.com/flexographic-printing/) is used for large-volume orders or labels that require two-sided printing. This method utilizes water-based inks and printing plates, making it highly efficient for longer runs within the label production process. ## Step 5: Finishing and Die Cutting ![label cutting machine cutting labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-finishing-300x169.jpg) After printing, the labels move into the finishing phase—an important step in the label manufacturing process that adds durability and visual appeal. At this stage, enhancements such as [embossing](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-labels/), foil stamping, protective laminates, and [UV coatings](https://columbinelabel.com/uv-resistant-labels-stickers-and-decals/) can be applied to the printed labels. The die-cutting step occurs alongside finishing. Each label is cut to its specified shape, and the large printed rolls are slit into narrower rolls for easier handling. Proper finishing improves appearance and ensures that your labels hold up during storage, shipping, and final application. ## Step 6: Winding ![finished labels are rolled](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-winding-300x169.jpg)This final step is where it all comes together before applying the label to the product. This is where each large roll of labels is wound to create smaller, more manageable roll sizes for the final application. How the labels will be applied determines how the labels are oriented on the roll, also known as the [unwind position](https://columbinelabel.com/what-is-unwind-direction-and-why-does-it-matter-for-custom-labels/). This consideration doesn’t matter as much for labels that will be applied by hand. However, for labels that a machine will apply, the wrong copy position and unwind direction could mean your labels will be applied upside-down and will shut down production. The layout of the label on the roll and how it needs to be applied to the bottle or package is a basic science in the custom labeling world. At this step, the rewind machines re-roll labels as needed with quantities required by the co-packer or manufacturer handling it in-house. ## Step 7: Quality Control and Inspection ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/columbine-label-color-quality-check-2023-300x169.jpg)Before any labels leave the production floor, they undergo a final quality inspection. This stage includes verifying color consistency, print alignment, material quality, and finishing accuracy. We also confirm the label count, unwind direction, and core size to ensure they match your order specifications. This critical step in the label manufacturing process helps catch issues early, minimizing the risk of errors or misprints reaching your production line. Defects such as smudging, misalignment, or edge lift are flagged and corrected before packaging begins. ## Step 8: Packaging and Shipping ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/staff-member-in-packing-warehouse-thumbs-up-2024-300x248.jpg)The last phase of the label production process is getting your finished labels to you securely and on time. Once labels pass inspection, they are carefully packaged to protect against damage during transit. Rolls are secured, boxed, and labeled with identifying information. We offer local pickup, regional delivery, and national shipping through trusted carriers. Tracking details are provided for each shipment, and our team remains available for any post-delivery support. Proper packaging ensures that your product labels arrive in excellent condition and ready for use. ### Columbine Label: Your Partner in the Label Printing Process The label printing process involves many moving parts, but with the right partner, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

These weatherproof custom labels are designed to withstand sun, rain, snow, and more, ensuring your branding and information stay clear and legible. Ultraviolet sun rays are mighty and will affect the longevity and durability of the exposed print. The right combination of the proper materials and ink can help ensure the intended life of your label. At Columbine Label Company, we’ve spent over 30 years specializing in **[durable label solutions](https://columbinelabel.com/durable-labels/)** that withstand the harshest environmental conditions. Knowing what makes a label weatherproof and UV resistant is the first step in creating one that lasts. ## What Makes a Label Weatherproof? Outdoor labels and stickers must withstand a range of conditions, including sun exposure, moisture, temperature changes, and more. Several factors contribute to how weatherproof a label is, from the ink and materials to the adhesive and finishing touches. ### Fade Resistant Inks UV radiation from sunlight can cause standard inks to fade over time. Labels designed for outdoor use typically utilize UV-resistant inks or are protected by laminates that filter UV rays. This helps preserve color and legibility, even with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. **Fun Fact:** *Did you know Colorado averages over 300 days of sunshine annually? High-altitude locations like ours also experience a stronger UV index. And don’t underestimate UV exposure during bad weather—sunlight reflecting off water or snow can intensify UV impact. Every label we quote for outdoor use gets evaluated against these conditions — how long it needs to last, how much direct sun exposure it will see, and whether it’s facing Colorado’s unique UV intensity. If you’re not sure how to spec for your environment, [tell us about your product and we’ll walk you through it](https://columbinelabel.com/contact-us/).* Durable Substrates The **[base material of a label](https://columbinelabel.com/label-materials/)**—known as the substrate—plays a major role in its weather resistance. Materials like vinyl, polyester, and polypropylene are commonly used because they are water-resistant, tear-resistant, and more tolerant of temperature extremes than paper-based options. ### Weatherproof Adhesives Adhesives must maintain their bond even when exposed to moisture, heat, or cold. Weatherproof labels are typically made with pressure-sensitive adhesives formulated for specific environmental conditions, such as high humidity, freezing temperatures, or direct sun. **Remember:** “Weatherproof” and “UV-resistant” doesn’t meant the same thing as “waterproof.” When comparing adhesives, make sure you understand the difference between [**waterproof and water-resistant labels**](https://columbinelabel.com/waterproof-vs-water-resistant-product-labels/). ### Protective Coatings & Laminates A final coating or laminate can help extend the life of a label by adding a barrier against water, UV rays, dirt, and chemicals. These layers also help prevent smudging and scratching, keeping the printed surface clear and intact. **Note:** *If your quote specifies a UV varnish, that doesn’t necessarily mean your label is UV-resistant. This is a common misunderstanding—‘UV’ in this case refers to how the varnish is cured (using ultraviolet light), not its protective properties. Unless specifically formulated for UV resistance, a UV varnish won’t protect your label from sunlight damage. Now you know: not all UV varnishes are created equal.* ## Material Options for UV-Resistant Labels Our extensive testing, supported by data from independent laboratories adhering to [**ASTM G154 standards for accelerated weathering**](https://store.astm.org/g0154-16.html), has identified three primary materials for UV-resistant labels on products used for outdoor applications, each offering different performance characteristics: [Edit](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=tablepress&action=edit&table_id=1) **Material****Lifespan****UV Resistance****Temperature Tolerance****Best Applications****Limitations** Polyester10+ yearsExcellent (98% UV blocking)-40°F to 300°FIndustrial equipment, marine applications, chemical containersLess flexible for curved surfaces Vinyl3-7 yearsGood (85% UV blocking with coating)-40°F to 200°FVehicle graphics, flexible applications, outdoor equipmentCan yellow over time without proper protection Laminated Paper1-3 yearsModerate (70% UV blocking)0°F to 180°FShort-term outdoor use, cost-sensitive applicationsVulnerable to moisture and tearing## Common Applications for UV-Resistant Labels Weatherproof and UV-resistant labels are essential in industries and environments where exposure to the elements is unavoidable. Whether it’s the sun, rain, wind, or fluctuating temperatures, certain products require labels that are built to last. **Here are some common use cases:** - **Outdoor Equipment & Tools:** Lawn mowers, power tools, and outdoor gear often require durable labels that can handle constant exposure to weather and rough handling. - **Agricultural & Gardening Products:** Fertilizer bags, seed packets, plant tags, and garden tools benefit from labels that stay legible through watering, sunlight, and dirt. - **Construction & Industrial Settings:** Hard hats, heavy machinery, and safety signage demand rugged labeling that resists abrasion, moisture, and UV damage. - **Chemical Containers: [Labels on drums, sprayers, or cleaning supplies](https://columbinelabel.com/chemical-labels/)** need to hold up against exposure to both harsh chemicals and the outdoors. - **Automotive & Marine Products:** From car batteries to boat accessories, these products require long-lasting labels that won’t degrade with sun, heat, or water exposure. These are just a few examples where weatherproof labels can improve product safety, maintain compliance, and ensure branding remains intact in tough conditions. ## Columbine Label is Ready to Print Your UV-resistant Labels Designing a label that performs in outdoor or harsh environments requires careful consideration of materials, inks, adhesives, and finishing techniques. Understanding what makes a label weatherproof and UV resistant can help you make informed decisions that lead to longer-lasting, more effective labels. Choosing the right combination of material, ink, and laminate for outdoor use isn’t always straightforward — the right answer depends on your specific product, surface, and how long you need the label to last.

Mr. and Mrs. Blonde Beard (aka Adam and Cara Nelson), owners of [Blonde Beard’s Buffalo Sauce](https://blondebeards.com/), are living proof. As Cara tells it, “Adam and I are both from Georgia and worked at wing restaurants when we were younger. Even then **I** had an odd obsession with chicken wings and buffalo sauce. I would just put the sauce on everything I ate. The cooks would laugh at me!” Fast forward a few years, Adam and Cara, who were childhood friends, reconnected on the advertising agency scene in Los Angeles. Their friendship turned into a relationship and they both discovered their mutual love of chicken wings never faded. “Our passion for wings and hot sauce really started to grow because it wasn’t a thing in LA like it was in the South,” Cara explains. “We started frying wings, making our own sauce from fresh ingredients, and hosting parties, which we became known for. Friends and family were always encouraging us to bottle and sell our sauce.” **Making the move** In 2011, the couple moved to the Denver area to continue their ad careers and that’s when Cara’s true fate began to take hold. Looking for a change, but still hungry for a career, Cara says she came home from work one day and told Adam, “I think I want to do this sauce thing.” That was all it took. > “I think I want to do this sauce thing” Cara quit her full-time job and together with Adam formed Blonde Beard’s Buffalo Sauce. The name is a playful reference to Adam’s beard and nickname, Mr. Blonde Beard, given to him by co-workers. Of course, the friendly beard is featured on the product’s labels, the creative work of Adam himself. ![Blonde Beard's Buffalo Sauce](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Logo_type_v1-1.png) **And baby makes a business** Adam and Cara launched their Blonde Beard’s Buffalo Sauce in December 2016 and kicked off sales at a local Farmer’s Market the next spring. It was then that the couple found out they were expecting a baby. “Building a brand and raising a baby is like having twins,” Cara laughs. “And I say that with the utmost respect to mothers of twins!” Their son, Jack, is a huge part of their story and Cara says they wouldn’t have it any other way. **A clear choice in labels** Getting the [hot sauce label](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-barbecue-hot-sauce-labels/) right was just as important as perfecting the sauce recipes for the Nelsons. “We knew we needed to be eye-catching in a sea of condiments at the grocery store, so we chose clear labels to showcase our beautiful bright orange sauce,” explains Cara. This is where their background in design and print production came into play. “Printing on clear material is tricky,” says Cara. “In order to get the colors to pop and maximize legibility, you have to build the artwork a certain way.” But that didn’t come easily once it came to production. Disappointed with the mistakes and lackluster service provided by their previous printer, Cara was on a quest for a printer that cared and could provide the high-quality print results they needed. [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/print-custom-labels/) was highly recommended by the brand’s new co-packer and her decision to switch didn’t disappoint. “The clear buffalo sauce labels are what really define our product and why people are drawn to pick up our bottles,” Cara states. “The face of your product is your label. If it’s not quality, then you won’t sell. We’re so thrilled to have a printer now that values our design choice and high standards.” Cara appreciates the personal and proactive service she receives from Columbine Label rep Jennifer Adams. “In fact, I’m so hands-off now. I don’t even need to be involved in every detail of our orders.” Which leaves her more time to focus on her other “twin” Jack. **Online sales are hot** With the COVID-19 restrictions in the spring of this year, the brand pivoted its focus to an online presence. This move solidified the success of their choice for clear labels, says Cara. The artwork that popped on [product labels](/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Food.png) in-person is also now helping catapult online demand, with sales tripling since they ramped up their online efforts. Now that’s HOT! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight, Food --- ### [Why Material Matters to Your Bottom Line](https://columbinelabel.com/why-material-matters-to-your-bottom-line/) **Published:** September 22, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In the world of product manufacturing, labels can sometimes feel like an afterthought, that is, until they fail. Wrinkled applications, lifting corners, oozing adhesive, or inaccurate colors aren’t just cosmetic problems. They’re problems that affect your bottom line. As a label converter, I’ve seen time and again how brands chasing the lowest price tag end up paying far more in lost time, product waste, and reputation damage. There’s nothing inherently wrong with saving money, but you’ve got to know where it’s actually worth saving. Labels are not the place to cut corners. Let’s talk about how choosing the *right* label materials, not just the cheapest, sets up your business for long-term success. --- ## When BOPP Isn’t Enough: The Risks of Standard Materials Standard white BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is the workhorse of the label world. It’s durable, water-resistant, relatively low cost and in many, dare I say most applications, it works beautifully. But not all applications are standard. Let’s take two real-world examples: **hot fill packaging** and [**tight mandrel containers**](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-for-tight-mandrel/). ### 1. Hot Fill = Hot Mess (If You Use the Label Material)![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hot-fill-1.png) Hot fill products such as [barbecue sauces](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-barbecue-hot-sauce-labels/), soups, or juices bottled at high temperatures can create a unique set of challenges. The heat can warp standard label materials, causing: - **Wrinkling or bubbling** as the label film distorts - **Adhesive ooze**, especially on high speed lines, which can leave sticky residue on containers, equipment, and even pack out trays - **Line stops** due to label roll inconsistencies or poor adhesion In these scenarios, a hot fill compatible label material is a must. Yes, it can be more expensive than your everyday BOPP. But it’s designed to perform under extreme heat, staying flat, clean, and secure on your product. Keeping your production line running smoothly! ### 2. Tight Mandrel = Long Term Lift (If You Use The Wrong Adhesive)![Opened lip balm presenting its new glossy custom label.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Lip-balm_gloss.png) Tight mandrel containers like lip balm tubes or small vials put constant stress on a label. If the material can’t flex and grip properly, the corners will start to lift, sometimes days or weeks after application. Once that happens, you’ve got a quality issue on your hands that customers will notice. Specialty materials designed for tight mandrel use are engineered to conform and hold up over time. It’s not just about sticking, it’s about *staying stuck.* --- ## The Color of Your Brand: Why Process Matters Material isn’t the only component that can make or break your label. **Color accuracy** is another area where “close enough” can cost more than you realize. Most labels are printed using: - **4-color process (CMYK)**: Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks create a wide range of colors by layering - **6-color process**: Adds additional inks like orange and green for a richer gamut and better saturation - **Spot colors (PMS)**: Pre-mixed inks that aim to hit precise color targets, but may still shift based on material and press method Here’s the truth: **PMS colors aren’t always exact** on film, paper, or textured materials. A CMYK match might get you 85-90% of the way there, but if your brand depends on a specific hue, especially for high-end markets, **6-color printing or custom spot colors may be the only way to go.** Yes, it costs more. But if the wrong red makes your product look cheap or inconsistent on the shelf, what’s the real cost? --- ## Labels That Fail… Fail the Bottom Line Here’s what I’ve learned: Most label failures aren’t printing errors, they’re **application mismatches**. That usually means one of two things happened: 1. The brand didn’t share full application specs (like heat, container shape, or storage conditions), or 2. They prioritized the lowest quote over the right solution We’ve had customers tell us they want to “just try the standard” even when we’ve recommended against it. We always provide a clear warning and explain that we can’t warranty failures for misapplied materials, but sure enough, when the labels bubble or peel, we still hear about it. It’s a little like leaving the hospital *against medical advice,* you can do it, but there are risks, and you might have to sign a form saying you understand those risks. --- ## Trust = ROI: Why Your Label Vendor Should Know Everything About Your Project The most successful partnerships we’ve had were with customers who treated us like part of their product development team, not just a vendor. Here’s why that matters: - **Application specs**: We need to know about heat, surface type, fill process, storage conditions, and more to recommend the right material. - **Quantities and cadence**: Are you ordering 10,000 once, or 2,000 every other month? That changes how we quote and source materials. - **Finishing details**: Labels on 1,000-roll counts vs. 5,000-counts affect setup, freight, and even adhesive performance during application. The more transparent you are with us, the better job we can do. Not just to price it fairly, but to **price it right**. That means fewer surprises, better performance, and a label we can stand behind 100%. --- ## Efficiency Is the New Luxury![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Bottle-Line.jpg) If you’re a business owner or brand manager, your job isn’t just to reduce costs. It’s to **optimize them**. A cheaper label that creates line stops, rejects, or packaging waste is *never* cheaper in the end. A premium label that applies fast, sticks reliably, and keeps your product looking flawless? That’s **true value**. Investing in the right materials and trusting your label partner to guide you there isn’t an added cost, it’s an efficiency gain. One that translates directly to your bottom line. --- ## Bottom Line At the end of the day, your product is more than just what’s inside the container. It’s the entire experience, from visual appeal on the shelf to the performance in the customer’s hand. When you get labels right, no one notices. When you get them wrong, *everyone* does. Let’s work together to make sure your labels do their job because when they do, everything else runs smoother.

When it comes tofood and [beverage packaging](https://columbinelabel.com/why-and-how-better-beverage-labels-work/), two popular options are plastic bottles and glass bottles. Each has its unique advantages and disadvantages, particularly when it comes to labeling. Furthermore, the use of hot fill liquids adds another layer of complexity to consider. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between plastic and glass bottle labeling. ## **Advantages of Plastic Bottle Labeling![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/big-bs-fabulous-juices-225x300.jpeg)** Plastic bottles offer several advantages for labeling. Firstly, they are lightweight and durable, making them ideal for transportation and reducing the risk of breakage during handling. Plastic bottles also provide a wide range of design possibilities, allowing for unique shapes and sizes, which can enhance branding and shelf appeal, especially for [barbecue sauce labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-barbecue-hot-sauce-labels/) and similar products. Plastic bottles are readily available and a cheaper option when compared to their glass counterparts. Juice manufacturers and tea manufacturers are two groups that commonly use plastic bottles for their products. In terms of labeling, plastic bottles can easily accommodate pressure-sensitive labels, or [shrink sleeves](https://columbinelabel.com/shrink-sleeves/) offering flexibility in design and application. ## **Disadvantages of Plastic Bottles** One major drawback of plastic bottles is their susceptibility to expansion and contraction with temperature changes, particularly when filled with hot liquids. This expansion and contraction can cause label wrinkling, bubbling, or peeling, leading to an unappealing appearance. To mitigate this issue, special [label materials](https://columbinelabel.com/label-materials/) and adhesives that can withstand hot-fill processes are required. However, even with these precautions, it can be challenging to achieve perfect label adhesion and appearance with hot-fill plastic bottles. ![Glass bottle clear labels ](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/urban-farmhouse.jpeg) ## **Advantages of Glass Bottle Labeling** Glass bottles have long been associated with a premium and high-quality image. They offer a luxurious feel and excellent product visibility, allowing consumers to see the contents inside. Glass containers provide a stable and rigid surface for labeling, making them ideal for pressure-sensitive labels and shrink sleeves. Glass bottles are typical for spirits manufacturers, sauce manufacturers, and dressing manufacturers. More examples of beverage labels – particularly on glass bottles can be seen on our [beverage labels page](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/). The labels adhere well to the surface, resulting in a polished and professional appearance. ## **Disadvantages of Glass Bottles** While glass bottles offer many advantages, they also have some drawbacks when it comes to labeling. Glass is heavier and more fragile than plastic, making it more prone to breakage during transportation. Additionally, glass bottles can be more expensive to produce, impacting overall packaging costs. Furthermore, glass bottles have many imperfections on the surface, this can cause labels to apply unevenly or bubble with out fine tuning of a label applicator. ## **Hot Fill Liquids and Labeling Challenges** When hot fill liquids, such as beverages, are filled into bottles, they undergo a temperature change during the cooling process. This change can cause expansion and contraction in both plastic and glass bottles, impacting label adhesion and appearance. Plastic containers, in particular, are more susceptible to these temperature-induced changes, leading to potential label problems like wrinkling, bubbling, or peeling. In contrast, glass bottles offer better stability and resistance to temperature variations, resulting in less impact on label quality. Choosing the right bottle and labeling method is crucial for product presentation and brand image. Plastic bottles offer versatility and durability, while glass bottles exude a premium feel. However, when it comes to labeling, hot fill liquids pose challenges for both bottle types. Plastic bottles require special label materials and adhesives to withstand expansion and contraction, while glass bottles provide more stability. Ultimately, it’s important for manufacturers to consider these factors and select the most suitable packaging and labeling approach to ensure a visually appealing and high-quality end product. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Why – and how – better beverage labels work](https://columbinelabel.com/why-and-how-better-beverage-labels-work/) **Published:** March 11, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Thirsty? No problem. How about a nice cold kombucha? Or a craft ale? Or hard seltzer? Or maybe you prefer [a protein drink](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-energy-protein-powder/) or CBD-infused refresher. Clearly, there is no shortage of ways to whet your whistle today. In fact, in 2016 alone, there were an estimated 18,500 new beverage products introduced that year! While this is great for the consumer, it presents a daunting challenge for the beverage marketer: How do you entice consumers to choose ***your*** product over so many others? ## **The power of the primary label** In that split-second moment of consumer decision, the answer lies in **the power of the primary label**. The reason is simple. Consumers are ***visual***. According to one source, a whopping 93 percent of consumers ranked the product’s visual appearance as the most important factor in selection. When they’re done well, [primary beverage labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/) can deliver results – shaping consumer perception, most notably at the point of purchase when the majority of buying decisions are made. The appeal and identity of a beverage product via the primary label drive brand awareness, convey key product attributes through enticing imagery, colors, and text, and most significantly, nurture a connection with potential customers. ## **The 8-second rule** Consumers often use impulse to make retail-buying decisions for beverage items. A mere one-third of consumer retail purchases are pre-planned, making impulse the primary driver for 67 percent of purchases, according to [one source](https://traxretail.com/blog/eye-level-buy-level-importance-store-product-placement/). Additionally, those **impulsive consumer-buying decisions are made in less than 8 seconds**. This is a very slim window of opportunity for brands, retailers, and primary beverage labels to stand out and make an impression that matters. ## **Form, function, print quality** That’s a tall order, and precisely why beverage labels must be designed elegantly and thoughtfully, to work seamlessly with the bottle or can and incorporate visual elements that capture attention quickly and are of the utmost quality and consistency. It is form and function, along with print quality, placement, and label function, that comprise [visual appeal](https://columbinelabel.com/label-design-choosing-the-right-material-and-connecting-with-customers/) and quality beverage labels. These considerations are easier said than done and require attention to many details, as well as proper supply chain partnerships that incessantly obsess about quality each and every day. ## **Cheers to your choices!** The choice of beverage containers seems as broad as the range of beverages on the market today. This includes glass bottles, plastic bottles, metal cans, coated paper containers, and more. Beverage container shapes are also highly varied, such as straight, curved, double curved, rectangular, and round. The variations and potential combinations are seemingly endless. Thus, in beverage labeling, there is no one-size-fits-all or generic labeling solution. The majority of beverage labels today are **pressure-sensitive labels**. With a wide selection of facestock materials (gloss, matte, paper, film, metallic, etc.), various adhesive options, and the speed and ease of automatic application, pressure-sensitive labels are an attractive and time-tested solution in successful beverage label applications. Growing in popularity are **[shrink sleeve labels](https://columbinelabel.com/shrink-sleeves/)**, which are labels with 360-degree graphics, held around the container without the use of self-adhesive. Shrink sleeves are made of film materials that conform to the container when heat is applied during the labeling process. Once the film sleeve shrinks, the label tightly conforms to the container, mirroring its exact shape and contour. With the influx of novel beverage [bottle shapes and sizes](https://columbinelabel.com/plastic-bottle-labeling-vs-glass-bottle-labeling/), shrink sleeve labels can show off unique container shapes, creating a seamless and visually stunning appearance. Additionally, when beverage container recycling is involved, adhesive-free shrink sleeve labels are easy to remove. ## **But choose wisely** In beverage labeling, performance requirements are very important in determining the proper label technology and label characteristics for successful application through to end-use. For example, a beer label must survive shipping and handling, shelf life, refrigeration, and potentially an ice cooler – and still look as good and stick as solidly as the day it was printed and applied. Label selection and design factors, such as resistance to humidity, temperature variations, scuff and scratch resistance, as well as bottle or packaging materials, shapes, sizes, and surface textures, all play an important role in crafting a beverage label that performs throughout product usage. What’s more, the label must be pristine on each and every bottle, can, and container, every time. Using the help of a beverage label expert to select the proper components and appropriate label technology is a crucial step in achieving proper beverage label appearance and performance. ## **Live or die by the label** In beverage markets, consumer perception and choice are in the driver’s seat to revenue generation and ultimately, brand survival. It is the primary beverage label that has a disproportionate and significant role in garnering product attention and motivating consumer purchases. The bottom line is that the visual appearance and quality of beverage labels often make the difference between beverage purchases vs. being left on the shelf. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage --- ### [Cracking the Code: Demystifying FDA Labeling Requirements for Food Products](https://columbinelabel.com/fda-labeling-requirements/) **Published:** March 27, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **What is the FDA and How Do They Impact Your Labels?** The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring that all food products sold in the United States are safe for consumers to consume. One way they do this is by requiring food manufacturers to comply with specific labeling requirements. These requirements help ensure that consumers have access to important information about the food they are consuming, including ingredients, nutritional content, and potential allergens. These guidelines are designed to protect the public by preventing misleading or false information from being presented on food packaging. In this blog post, we will discuss the FDA labeling requirements for food products. The FDA’s labeling requirements are extensive and cover a range of information that must be included on food packaging. Some of the most important information that must be included includes the product name, net weight, ingredients list, nutrition facts, and allergy warnings. Here is a breakdown of each requirement: ### **Product Name** The name of the product must accurately reflect what the product is. It must not be misleading or confusing to the consumer. ### **Net Weight** The net weight of the product must be clearly stated in both metric and U.S. customary units. This is important for consumers who are watching their caloric intake or are concerned about portion control. ### **Ingredient List** The FDA also requires food manufacturers to list all of the ingredients used in a food product on the label. This is important for consumers who may have food allergies or sensitivities, as it allows them to avoid products that contain ingredients they are allergic to. For example, if a food product contains peanuts, the manufacturer must list peanuts as an ingredient on the label.The ingredients list must be provided in descending order of predominance by weight. This means that the ingredient that weighs the most is listed first, and the ingredient that weighs the least is listed last. ### **Nutrition Facts** One of the most important FDA labeling requirements for food products is the Nutrition Facts label. This label provides detailed information about the nutritional content of a food product, including the amount of calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, protein per serving, serving size, and number of servings per container. The Nutrition Facts label also includes information about any vitamins or minerals contained in the product, as well as any added sugars. This information is important for people who are watching their weight or managing a chronic disease such as diabetes. This can also be important for products people assume are healthy, such as [protein shakes](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-energy-protein-powder/) or pre-workout powder mixes. ### **Allergy Warnings** Another important FDA labeling requirement is for products that contain any of the eight major food allergens. These allergens include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. If a food product contains any of these allergens, the manufacturer must list them on the label in plain language. This is important for consumers who have food allergies or sensitivities and need to avoid certain foods. ### **Health Benefits and Risks** The FDA also enforces strict guidelines regarding the use of certain claims on food labels. For example, if a food product claims to be “low-fat” or “low-calorie,” it must meet specific criteria set by the FDA. The FDA also closely monitors claims related to health benefits, such as “heart-healthy” or “reduces the risk of cancer.” The FDA also requires food manufacturers to include a statement on the label about the health benefits or risks associated with a product. For example, if a food product is high in sodium, the label must include a statement about the potential health risks associated with consuming too much sodium. Similarly, if a food product contains a nutrient that is known to have health benefits, such as omega-3 fatty acids, the label must include a statement about those benefits. Overall, FDA labeling requirements for food products are designed to ensure that consumers have access to accurate and useful information about the foods they are consuming. These requirements help consumers make informed choices about the foods they eat and can also help protect them from potential health risks associated with certain foods.

These changes encompass a revised definition of the term [“healthy”](https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-food-labeling-and-critical-foods/use-healthy-claim-food-labeling) and the introduction of front-of-package [(FOP) nutrition labeling](https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-proposes-requiring-glance-nutrition-information-front-packaged-foods). For small and medium-sized food manufacturers, understanding and adapting to these updates is crucial. --- ### **Updated Definition of “Healthy”** The FDA has modernized the criteria for using the term “healthy” on food packaging, aligning it with current nutrition science and federal dietary guidelines. **Key Changes:** - **Food Group Requirements:** To qualify as “healthy,” a product must contain a certain amount of food from at least one of the following groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, or [protein foods](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-energy-protein-powder/). - **Nutrient Limits:** Products must also meet specific limits for saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. **Effective Dates:** - **Voluntary Compliance:** Manufacturers can begin using the updated “healthy” claim starting April 28, 2025. - **Mandatory Compliance:** By February 25, 2028, all products using the “healthy” claim must adhere to the new definition. **Implications for Manufacturers:** - **Product Reformulation:** Some products previously labeled as “healthy” may no longer qualify under the new criteria, necessitating reformulation or label changes. - **Label Redesign:** Manufacturers will need to update packaging to reflect compliance with the new “healthy” definition. --- ### **Proposed Front-of-Package (FOP) Nutrition Labeling** The FDA has proposed a new requirement for FOP nutrition labeling to provide consumers with immediate, at-a-glance information about key nutrients. **Features of the Proposed FOP Label![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-FOP-Label-300x169.jpg)** - **Nutrients Displayed:** The label would indicate levels of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. - **Categorization:** Each nutrient would be categorized as “Low,” “Medium,” or “High” based on its percentage of the Daily Value (%DV). - **Placement:** The FOP label would be prominently displayed on the upper-right corner of the package’s principal display panel. **Compliance Timeline:** - **Large Manufacturers:** Businesses with $10 million or more in annual food sales would have **three years** from the final rule’s effective date to comply. - **Small Manufacturers:** Businesses with less than $10 million in annual food sales would have **four years** to comply. **Implications for Manufacturers:** - **Packaging Adjustments:** Incorporating the FOP label may require redesigning packaging layouts to accommodate the new label. - **Consumer Perception:** The FOP label aims to assist consumers in making healthier choices, potentially influencing purchasing decisions. --- ### **Impact on Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers** Small and medium-sized manufacturers may face unique challenges in adapting to these labeling updates. **Considerations:** - **Resource Allocation:** Limited budgets may impact the ability to reformulate products or redesign packaging promptly. - **Technical Expertise:** Smaller companies may require external assistance to ensure compliance with new labeling requirements. **Recommendations:** - **Early Planning:** Begin assessing current products and labels to identify necessary changes. - **Seek Guidance:** Consult with labeling experts or regulatory consultants to navigate the new requirements effectively. --- ### **Conclusion** The FDA’s 2025 labeling updates represent a significant shift toward promoting healthier consumer choices through clearer packaging information. For small and medium-sized food manufacturers, proactive engagement with these changes is essential. Collaborating with knowledgeable label printers and regulatory experts can facilitate a smooth transition, ensuring compliance and maintaining consumer trust. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Barcode Labels for Custom Label Projects: Getting Started](https://columbinelabel.com/barcode-labels-for-custom-label-projects/) **Published:** April 16, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ### GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR BARCODE LABELS Barcode labels are a must for any product packing to be sold commercially. Do you remember a time when there was no UPC label on a product you purchased? It may not be easy to remember, as companies have utilized Universal Product Codes for some 57 years. It can be interesting to learn a bit about the history as well as why it is so important to implement on your product’s label. The first time that a product had a UPC scanned was in 1974, on a package of Wrigley gum in a small-town supermarket located in Troy, Ohio. Since the use of these codes began, they have become instrumental in increasing the benefits for both consumers and retail outlets. They make the shopping process and checkout process for the customer faster and more accurate. In addition to this, they make inventory control easier for companies. All for one enhancement to their [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/). Using UPCs just makes sense from all standpoints, especially when you consider other technologies that have found benefits for barcode labels. For example, consumers can now use their cell phones to take pictures of the bar code labels, download it to an application on their phone, and find out which location offers the best price on that item. These little lines are more than just little lines! #### How to Get a Barcode When you work with the Denver printing company Columbine Label, the company will help you through each step of the process. However, you need to get the process underway. To get started, you can visit [GS1 US ](https://www.gs1us.org/upcs-barcodes-prefixes/get-started-guide)online. This is the organization that is universally recognized as the place to go to get your bar code established. There are two parts to this code. - There is the machine-readable barcode – the black lines that run vertically on the product’s custom label. - The second portion is the human-readable portion, which is a 12-digit number that runs along the bottom of the bar code labels. Once you apply for a bar code, the UCC will then issue you the first six to ten digits of your bar code, which depends on the number of products you plan to code. It is then up to you, or the manufacturers of the product, to assign a specific number to the individual items that you need to label. The last number in the code is the check digit which tells the scanner if the item scanned correctly or not. **Barcode labels** are important parts of the creation of your custom product label. Once you do the steps to register your product for a bar code, the code can easily be integrated into a custom label design. Columbine Labels ensures that your bar code is accurate when printing and that it integrates beautifully with the branding and marketing aspects of the label’s design. **Another consideration** to keep in mind when placing your barcode on label or packaging designs, ensure the code is produced in the proper color and size to eliminate issues on the retail end. Columbine Label can provide recommendations to ensure proper readability and scan rate. --- Located in metro Denver, Columbine Labels works with a broad base of customers across North America to print visually unique labels to help their products stand out.

That’s a key criterion for this third-generation beekeeping and honey bottling family business located in [Durango, CO,](https://www.durango.org/) currently owned by Danny Culhane, grandson of the company’s founder Vernon Culhane, along with his wife Sheree. Their son Kevin is poised to carry the honey mantel in the future. ![Custom Printed Honey Labels Example - Honeyville](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Honeyville-300x300.jpg) ### **Flavor meets fate** When Vernon Culhane removed some honeybees from a buzzing tree near his house to start his own hive on the family’s vast Durango homestead in the 1920s, he quickly found that those bees produced the best honey he had ever tasted. That discovery nearly 100 years ago laid the groundwork for a burgeoning family business that now includes a factory store, online store, retail sales, and a new distillery. All carrying honey and honey-enhanced offerings, from their flagship Cinnamon Whipped Honey, jams, butters, syrups, sauces, and mixes to a line of body care products. ![Custom Printed Honey Labels Example - Honeyville](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Honeyville-2.jpg) The Honeyville product line continues to blossom under the creative leadership of Sheree who oversees flavor development. “We listen to what our customers want. They give us ideas and we develop recipes, then test them on customers,” explains Sheree. The latest release is Hot Honey made with serrano peppers infused with honey. “It’s not too spicy, though,” she notes. ![Custom Printed Jam Labels Example ](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/apricot-habanero-fatty2-300x300.jpg) ![Customer Spotlight: Honeyville labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/syrups-ice-cream-bowls-300x300.jpg) ### Drawn to Columbine Label Company Like a honeybee to flowers, Honeyville seemed drawn to Columbine Label for their custom-printed honey labels from the beginning. When the company merged its honey business with Honeyville Specialty nearly 20 years ago, it needed a one-source printer for its growing line of products. “We met Columbine Label Company at a packaging expo,” recalls Sheree. “We liked the fact that they were a local family business like us. We’re both out there promoting the heart and soul of our business. That was intriguing to us. And they’re just good people.” The Culhane’s continue to be impressed by the quality and service they receive from Columbine Label. “We’ve never been dissatisfied with the quality of their labels,” Sheree states. “We always know the end product will be completed on time with professionalism and pride.” She adds, “It’s also nice to work with one business for every need we have. It makes it so easy…we don’t have anything to worry about.” ### Service hits the sweet spot “Honeyville not only creates amazing products, but they are wonderful to work with,” notes Columbine Label sales representative Jennifer Adams who services the account. “They have many products, each with a different label. We do our best to group label orders together for better pricing. With our digital press, we’ve been able to eliminate plate fees and ink color changes to print their labels more efficiently and cost-effectively. And because they update their label design every few years, it’s so easy to do with the digital print process.” Honeyville also benefits from the print company’s vast experience in what looks and works best when it comes to custom-printed honey labels. “When we rebranded a few years ago, Jennifer provided us and our designer with suggestions on colors and designs. It really helped our labels stand out.” ![Custom Printed Honey Labels Example - Customer Spotlight: Honeyville labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/cinnamon-whipped-rollups-closeup-300x300.jpg) ![Custom Printed Honey Labels Example - Customer Spotlight: Honeyville labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/chokecherry-whipped-oatmeal-300x300.jpg) ![Custom Printed Honey Labels Example - Customer Spotlight: Honeyville labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/honey-whiskey-all-flavors-300x300.jpg) The [Honeyville](https://www.honeyvillecolorado.com/) logo prominently features the striking Columbine state flower, which is also the namesake of Columbine Label Company.

A business, no matter what venture it is involved in, should realize the importance of having an aesthetically pleasing and distinct label. The type of wine and beer label that defines the business itself is one that constitutes its standards by setting it apart from the rest. A label that is simple, recognizable, yet is demonstrative of the craftsmanship and time presupposed in the product’s creation. Label printing design should reflect quality, to survive in the business world, grabbing the attention of the consumer is half the undertaking. ## A Booming Industry In terms of competition, the **beer and wine industries** are difficult sectors to integrate into. From the corporately run to the private and locally operated vineyard and/or brewery, there is a sizable amount of competition on all rungs of the alcohol industry. In terms of mere observation, there seems to be a large convergence toward local and sustainable microbreweries and winemakers. A glance at the supermarket shelf reveals an increase in products from small independent breweries and wineries, which are now popping up in practically every state. Each of these breweries/wineries shares a variety of commonalities in terms of process, size, and business model. The most obvious of these is the companies’ labels. ## Getting Out There Since the vast majority of breweries and wineries have not established themselves on a wholly domestic and/or international level (i.e., Anheuser Busch and Livingston Cellars), up-and-coming breweries and wineries must devote significant time and effort to the conception of their label printing design. Getting one’s beer or wine product not only to be seen on the market shelf but also to be purchased requires some significant work. According to **Columbine Label’s blog on label tips**: “While price is sometimes a consideration, often, the decision to buy or not to buy is an emotional one.” Therefore, developing a label that pinpoints the ‘feeling’ of the buyer is important to try to emulate. ## Some Tips and Ideas for Label Design Choosing a label design for wine and beer can be a stressful process. Deciding what exactly to place on a label can be tiresome as well as frustrating. So, when developing a label, thinking of the size, color, consistency, conveyed message (word choice), and overall format is a necessity. Avoid complications; keep the label simple and straight to the point. Pick colors that are not overwhelming, yet allow one’s product to stand out, to ‘pop’ off the shelf. Try to think of something (be it visual or written) that defines one’s beer or wine, or the company’s credo. ### Highlight Your Brand Story Today’s consumers want more than just a drink — they want a story. Incorporating your brand’s history, mission, or location into your wine and [beer labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beer-labels/) can create an instant connection. Whether it’s a hand-drawn vineyard sketch or a tagline that speaks to your values, storytelling on labels builds recognition and loyalty. ### Experiment With Finishes and Materials Beyond colors and typography, finishes like foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV coating can make your product stand out. For wine label printing in particular, textured papers and specialty inks add a premium feel that consumers associate with quality. Beer labels can benefit from waterproof or durable synthetic materials that hold up in coolers and ice buckets. ### Don’t Overlook Compliance While creativity is key, wineries and breweries must also meet industry regulations. [Wine label printing](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-wine-labels/) requires including details such as alcohol content, government warnings, and producer information. Beer labels may also require barcodes, recycling information, or state-specific disclosures. Balancing compliance with strong design ensures your product is both legally sound and shelf-ready. Be consistent. If one’s business has decided on an appropriate beer or wine label, stick with it.

As breweries grow and expand distribution, the visual impact of a label can determine whether a customer reaches for your beer or the one next to it. That’s why it’s essential to understand the ins and outs of [craft beer label printing](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beer-labels/)—from size and material to design and application. Whether you’re creating custom labels for cans, bottles, or kegs, the right label not only reflects your brand but also performs in tough environments. The next [Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America](https://www.craftbrewersconference.com/) will be held in Philadelphia, PA, April 20–22, 2026—the largest industry event for craft brewers nationwide. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore label trends, materials, and printing technologies that help your product stand out in a crowded market. ## Standard Craft Beer Label Sizes An experienced beer label printer can create virtually any size you need, but standard label dimensions often help brewers control costs and ensure faster turnaround times.

Beer labels are produced on sheets or rolls that include the facestock, adhesive, and release liner together for efficient printing and application. The specifications of each of those three materials are determined in advance by the printer for optimum performance. ### Facestock Labels for craft beer cans and bottles are printed on a film material, which has proven durability for the application and end-use. Film labels are available in white, silver metallic, or clear. The silver metallic material provides a metallic look craft brewers often desire. ### Adhesive Like the facestock material, the adhesive used on craft beer labels must be able to withstand wet application and cold, moist environments during handling, storage, and usage. ### Liner Liner material can be paper or film. Paper liners are sufficient if labels are being applied by hand or with a tabletop applicator. When using mobile canners or high-speed canning machines, film liners won’t tear like paper and reduce production issues. ### Shrink Sleeve These 360° full coverage “labels” are printed on a variety of durable film substrates that requires no adhesive and are applied with a special process that includes a heat or steam tunnel. ### Keg Collars These are required by law on kegs of beer and wine. The materials used are different than can and bottle labels. The facestock is made of a thicker material and when adhesive is needed, the collars have a special removable adhesive that does not leave a residue. ## Design and Printing Considerations Craft beer can and bottle labels are as unique as the contents. In addition to the considerations above, craft brewers need to keep other things in mind: - **White ink with metallic and clear film:** When printing on silver metallic film, to achieve a non-metallic look in specific areas of the design, the label design artwork must include a hidden layer of white. White ink will be laid down in the printing process under the desired surface ink color to block out the metallic facestock and create an opaque, non-metallic color. The same hidden layer of white ink is used when printing on clear film. The final label design must incorporate a layer of white where opaque ink coverage is needed. - **Label application process:** Final specs for craft beer can labels and custom labels for beer bottles must take into consideration the label application process, whether it is done by hand, with a tabletop applicator, a mobile canner, a high-speed applicator, or a shrink sleeve process. - **Bringing the printer into the picture:** For craft brewers, every decision can impact the success of a new brew. The label is no exception. Working with a printing company, seasoned in craft beer label printing, early in the process is critical to make the right choices upfront. This includes consulting with your printer on label size, shape, and label machine specs for canning or bottling. ## Partner with the Craft Beer Label Experts At **Columbine Label**, we’re proud to work with some of the most creative and fastest-growing craft brewers around.

Thousands of breweries now dot the landscape, so now more than ever it’s crucial for brewers to set themselves apart. One way to achieve this is through thoughtful and effective beer labeling. In this blog, we’ll explore the best practices for craft beer labeling that not only capture attention but also communicate the essence of the brew. ## **Embrace Creativity![bottle logic the fourth wall craft beer](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Bottle-logic-the-fourth-wall.png)** Craft beer labels offer an opportunity for brewers to showcase their artistic side. From vibrant colors to intricate designs, creativity is the key to standing out on the shelves. However, it’s important to strike a balance between being visually appealing and conveying necessary information. Whether it’s using unique illustrations, typography, or incorporating local elements, the label should reflect the spirit of the beer and the brand itself. ## **Clear and Legible Information** While creativity is essential, the label should also provide clear and legible information. Vital details like the beer’s name, style, ABV (Alcohol by Volume), and ingredients should be prominently displayed. It’s crucial to follow legal requirements and industry standards to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation. Utilizing readable fonts, contrasting colors, and organized layouts ensures that consumers can quickly and easily find the necessary information they seek. ## **![craft beer labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Eddyline_craft-beer.png)** ## **Storytelling and Brand Identity** Craft beer enthusiasts appreciate the stories behind the brews they consume. Incorporating storytelling elements into your [beer labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beer-labels/) can engage customers and create a connection. Storytelling adds depth and personality to a brand. Craft beer consumers love it when breweries include the history of the brewery, the inspiration behind the recipe, or the local community’s influence. By effectively communicating the brand’s identity through imagery and text, the label becomes a conduit for building relationships and loyalty with consumers. ## **Choosing the Right Printer for Your Labels** Selecting the right printer for your customizable beer labels is a crucial aspect of successful branding. The quality of printing can make a significant difference in how your label is perceived by consumers. It’s essential to work with a reputable printer that specializes in label production. Preferably, find a printer that has experience in the [beverage industry](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/), or even better, the craft beer industry specifically. Consider factors such as print resolution, color accuracy, and label durability. A high-quality printer will ensure that your labels are visually appealing, legible, and able to withstand the rigors of handling, refrigeration, and condensation. Investing in a reliable printer will contribute to the overall professionalism and marketability of your craft beer. Craft beer labeling serves as a canvas for brewers to express their creativity, share their stories, and differentiate themselves in a competitive market. By following craft beer labeling best practices such as embracing creativity, providing clear information, incorporating storytelling, and picking a reliable label partner, breweries can create labels that not only catch the eye but also resonate with consumers on a deeper level.

When a customer scans a crowded shelf, they often make buying decisions in seconds — and your label plays a huge role in that choice. A product label isn’t just packaging; it’s your brand’s silent salesperson. That’s why your business deserves a custom label design that’s eye-catching, memorable, and instantly recognizable. With the right colors, layout, and materials, your label can communicate your brand identity and set you apart from the competition. ## The First Steps to Consider What are some things that make the best label? What will really catch someone’s eye while also defining your business? Here are some things to consider: ### Color Matching and Brand Recognition Color consistency builds trust and familiarity. Think about brands like Coca-Cola, Lays, and Ritz — their signature color combinations are instantly recognizable. Choose tones that reflect your brand personality and look great across all print materials. ### Clean, Intentional Design Layout When it comes to layout, less is often more. A clean design with concise wording and a balanced layout helps customers focus on what matters most — your product. ### Label Quality Reflects Product Quality The feel and durability of your label create a lasting impression. A high-quality, professionally printed label suggests a high-quality product inside. Of course, there are many other factors to consider that are a bit more technical: what type of adhesive will be best for your label? What kind of material should you use to display your brand best? How much will all this cost? ## Your Print Partner: Columbine Label Company Columbine Label brings decades of experience, industry knowledge, and printing precision to every project.

But it wasn’t until 2011 that he and his wife Marianne turned that passion into a profession with the founding of Laws Whiskey House, an [award-winner distillery](https://craftspiritsmag.com/2020/02/19/laws-whiskey-house-earns-honor-at-world-whiskies-awards/) in Denver, with the distribution of its American whiskeys in 18 states. Before there was whiskey, Al spent 15 years in the world of finance in the oil and gas sector, including a decade on Wall Street in New York City. An opportunity with his employer to move to a Denver-based office brought the Laws to Colorado which would prove to be a serendipitous move for the future distillers. ### From consumer to connoisseur to scholar ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LWH_Al-Laws-2-300x200.jpg)“Like many fellow Canadians, my lifelong journey with whiskey began early,” Al jokes. “And my drink of choice was Jack Daniel’s. As my passion has always been American whiskey.” Over the years he expanded and elevated his palate, amassing an impressive library of 600 bottles of whiskey in his home, from liquor stores across the country, many of which carry Laws Whiskey today. After getting settled into Colorado for a few years, Al and Marianne decided the time was right to trade in his three-piece suit for shorts and Birkenstocks to pursue his dream. Al immersed himself in learning everything possible about the whiskey-making craft. “I read all the books and magazines out there,” he says, “including ten years of Whisky Advocate back issues.” Al also sought mentors such as Bill Friel, a master distiller in Kentucky for four decades and one of the veteran members of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. “He agreed to help me put the company on the right track out of the gate and coached me on all the nuances of distilling whiskey”. Al says Bill was at Laws distillery for the first distillation. “He taught me the difference between just making whiskey and making whiskey with soul,” explains Al. “As making whiskey is an art as much as it is a science.” ### Uniquely Colorado Bill Friel isn’t the only secret weapon Laws Whiskey House has in its whiskey-making arsenal. Mother Nature plays a pivotal role too. The distillery sources its heirloom and heritage grains exclusively from just two family-owned Colorado farms—the Cody Family Farm in the San Luis Valley and the Whiskey Sisters Supply in Colorado’s eastern plains. Al happened upon a Cody-grown 50-pound bag of wheat at a home brewing store that caught his eye. “I used it in a batch and the difference was immediate,” Al recalls. “It filled the distillery with intense aromas.” He met with the Codys and quickly established a relationship. The farm now supplies all the distillery’s flavoring grains, wheat, rye, and barley. Laws sources its corn exclusively from Stephanie and Felicia Ohnmacht of Whiskey Sisters Supply whom Al met while pouring whiskey at a fashion show. ![Laws Whiskey House](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LWH_Barrel_Image-300x200.jpg) ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LWH_barrels_warehouse-2-300x200.jpg) ![Laws Whiskey House](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LWH_barrel_warehouse-300x200.jpg) The Laws’ early discovery of these two farms set the course for Colorado-focused whiskeys that make Laws Whiskey House distinctive and reminiscent of regional-based whiskeys prior to Prohibition, such as Pennsylvania rye and Kentucky bourbon. “As our relationship with these two farms grew, I realized that there are grains grown specifically for flavor versus high yield/commodity,” explains Al. “That’s why we prioritize grains that present distinctive flavors that add uniqueness to our whiskey.” Al credits Mother Nature’s blessings on the Colorado region for this flavor distinction. “The thin air, hot days and cool nights of the Rocky Mountain region, and the rugged growing conditions of the San Luis Valley and eastern plains stress the grains just enough to deepen their flavor of our terroir-driven, grain-to-glass whiskeys.” Al notes that terroir is a concept usually associated with wine, “but it definitely applies to whiskey as well. You can really taste the impact of the land, the influence of the folks that grow them, and the effect of our state’s unique growing conditions. These factors impart rich nuances to our whiskey.” ### Like a patient gargoyle Once a wizard of Wall Street, Al likens himself to more of a gargoyle, the guardian of spirits. He explains, “We filled our first barrel of Four Grain Bourbon on July 4th, 2011, but didn’t sell our first bottle until October 2014. In the early years, I often felt like the gargoyle of Laws Whiskey House, patiently waiting until the whiskey had enough time to mature and develop,” he laughs. In fact, Al got a tattoo of a gargoyle resting on a barrel on his arm to remind him of this experience. [Laws Whiskey House](https://lawswhiskeyhouse.com/#age-gate) offerings include their flagship whiskeys, Four Grain Bourbon and San Luis Valley Rye, with each bottle carrying [distinctive whiskey labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-spirits-labels/) that reflect the brand’s Colorado story, along with the newest releases of their Bottled in Bond Four Grain Bourbon and San Luis Valley Rye. ### The next great American whiskey “Building a spirits brand takes time,” Al reiterates, “but we are using that time to do things the right way and to apply our ‘no shortcuts’ philosophy to all that we do. We set out on a twenty-year journey to build and establish our distillery and we are over halfway there.” With a talented team of 40-strong, known as The Village, Al says the goal is to become part of the fabric and colorful heritage of great American whiskey brands. “We’ll likely never reach the size of Jack Daniels,” he admits, “but we’ll continue to focus on bringing to life rich whiskeys that frame the flavors of our heirloom and heritage grains.” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage, Customer Spotlight --- ### [As Distilled Spirits Soar, So Does Spirit Label Design](https://columbinelabel.com/as-distilled-spirits-soar-so-does-spirit-label-design/) **Published:** April 30, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Distilled spirits are soaring. A recent study by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) shows that the spirits category generated $90 billion in retail sales in 2019, continuing the spirits growth trajectory for the 10th year in a row. ## **Spirit label growth by segment** Growth in [spirits by segment](https://www.bevindustry.com/articles/92981-spirits-grow-market-share-for-10th-straight-year?oly_enc_id=0885H4333967C8E) shows key trends and opportunities as well as the breadth of products that compete on retail shelves for consumer attention. According to Information Resources Inc. (IRI), year-to-year growth in spirits increased by almost $7.7 billion from 2018 to 2019 as follows, with [whiskey labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-spirits-labels/), tequila, and pre-mixed cocktails leading the charge: **Category 2018-2019 Growth** Pre-mixed cocktails 27.2 percent Tequila 13.6 percent Whiskey 10 percent Cordials 5.7 percent Brandy/cognac 5.0 percent Vodka 4.8 percent Gin 4.4. percent Rum 1.2 percent Non-alcohol mixers 0.9 percent With an abundance of consumer choices in stores, spirit brands face stiff competition on retail shelves. Spirit labels help distillers stand out on the shelf while visually representing their unique brand and product personalities. ### **Spirit label trends** As such, carefully crafted spirits — from premium products to volume products to novel artisanal brands – require authentic, attention-getting labels. Label approaches span modern, minimalist looks, vintage designs, and original, handcrafted illustrations. Key trends in spirit label design include: \+ Transparent labels for a sleek, no-label look that also shows bottle contents \+ Novel bottle shapes that are visually compelling \+ Ornate, metallic labels that quickly generate attention \+ Highly textured or embossed label materials for a tactile experience Additional label capabilities include tamper-evident seals and custom tags and bottle neck hangers. ### **Spirit label requirements** While spirit labels look cool and grab consumer attention, they must also meet regulatory requirements. Specifically, spirit labels are governed by 27 CFR Section 5 regulations. More information is available via the [Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)](http://www.ttb.gov/pdf/brochures/p51902.pdf). Also, spirit labels need to perform in challenging environments, such as higher humidity (such as an ice-filled cooler), refrigerated conditions, and fluctuating temperatures… Selecting the proper label material and protective topcoat is essential to ensure proper, consistent, and sustained spirit label performance. At Columbine Label, we’ve been privileged to serve spirit distillers and produce some stunning labels that we believe help grab consumer attention and increase retail revenue for our customers. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Textured Wine Label Material; Appealing to Your Customers](https://columbinelabel.com/textured-wine-label-material-appealing-to-your-customers/) **Published:** April 26, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## **What do wine connoisseurs look for when deciding on a good quality wine?** Color, smell, the balance between elements, and complexity are all elements of a great wine. You could have the best wine in the world, but failing to reflect the quality with a presentable bottle and a [unique, beautiful wine label](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-wine-labels/) could lead to that bottle being overlooked. Success at the tasting begins with success on the shelf! ## **What affects the presentation of a bottle of wine?** Bottles that get purchased last in the store usually have a noticeable flaw or defect in the packaging. An imperfection in the bottle, the closure, or the label. The label may be positioned crooked, adhered with wrinkles, or worse it may be falling off. And while all these scenarios should be taken into consideration during production, building your brand with a look and feel that is appealing to your consumers is key to getting your wine noticed and purchased. The appeal to your wine bottle can be accomplished through embossing, foil stamping, special die-cuts, and/or special textured wine stock. Some of the popular textured wine stocks include material that is bright white, cream-colored, or somewhere in-between. The textures also vary from a standard laid finish, linen, vellum, and even smooth. A list of some textured wine stock products typically available at Columbine Label: - Estate #4 – a white laid finish![Textured Wine Stocks](https://38beue4endd9nzz9l2uspjoh-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Textured-wine-stocks-1024x446.png) - Estate #9 – a cream-colored laid finish - Estate #8 – a bright white vellum finish - Felt – 70# bright white felt finish - Eggshell – 70# cream colored felt finish - Classic Linen – 60# Brilliant White - [Renewable Hemp](https://columbinelabel.com/hemp-labels-sustainable-renewable/) – 60# cream color speckled material - Natural Kraft – Dark brown fibrous face brown paper bag Premium specialty options (may require minimums and/or longer lead time) - Birch Wood Veneer – \*Not for Ice Bucket - Cherry Wood Veneer – smooth 100% real-wood veneer with natural grain patterns and natural defects \*Not for Ice Bucket - Black Vellum – 60# black vellum - Black Velvet – 155# Smooth Velvety black material with tactile effect ### **SUSTAINABILITY** In addition to the look and feel of wine stocks, the materials have additional properties that enhance your brand’s sustainability. ### **Wet Strength** Wet strength is a property that increases label performance in moist environments by providing resistance to tearing and shriveling. Wet strength is also important in recycling wine bottles. Wet strength helps keep the label intact during the washout part of the recycling process. This means that the label can be fully removed without leaving behind scrap pieces that would interfere with the glass being recycled. ### **Water-Soluble Adhesive** The water-soluble adhesive is a specially formulated adhesive that makes the removal of the label clean. To remove labels from wine bottles, immerse the bottle in hot water (100-110 degrees F) for about 30 seconds after which the label, along with adhesive, will peel right off. ### **FSC – Forest Stewardship Council** The [Forest Stewardship Council](https://fsc.org/en) is a government program that ensures sustainable forest management. Promoting and driving responsible management and procedures toward sustainable use, conservation, restoration, and respect for all. ### **Recycled Content** Label stock with [recycled content](https://sustainablepackaging.org/101-recycled-content-vs-recyclability/) is made wholly, or in part, with pre-consumer waste, or post-consumer waste. In addition to adding appeal to the look and feel of your wine bottle label, textured wine stocks also add a sustainable value that is important to consumers. ###### Learn more about textured wine labels to leverage your brand by requesting a quote today! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Art and Design, Beverage, News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### ['Tis The Season for Holiday Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/tis-the-season-for-holiday-labels/) **Published:** October 6, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## Seasonal Labels for Thanksgiving & Christmas: Why Brands Should Be Planning Now Remember in July when we were asking if it was [too early for Pumpkin Spice](https://columbinelabel.com/is-it-too-early-for-pumpkin-spice-not-if-you-own-a-business/)? Well, here we are in October, and Pumpkin Spice is in full swing! Which makes it the perfect times for brands to internally switch gears to peppermint, and eggnog because Christmas and Thanksgiving are going to be here before you know it! As soon as the air gets crisp, for brands, that means it’s time to think beyond pumpkin spice and start planning labels for the next big moments: Thanksgiving and Christmas. The holiday season is one of the busiest times of year for [food](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-food-labels/), [beverage](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/), and [giftable products](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-personal-care-product-labels/). Shelves are crowded, competition is fierce, and seasonal packaging is often what helps your brand stand out. A well-designed Thanksgiving or Christmas label can spark excitement, highlight limited-edition products, and make your items a go to choice for celebrations and gift giving. But capturing that opportunity requires starting early. --- ## Why Early Planning Matters ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ChristmasAleCheersMountain1-780x520-e66ccf2.jpg) Even in September and October, brands that want to maximize their holiday impact should already be finalizing artwork and scheduling production. Labels are one of the last steps in the process and delays can mean missing crucial selling windows. By planning ahead, you can: - **Avoid production bottlenecks**: Printers and packaging suppliers often face peak demand during the holiday rush. Getting your order in early ensures your labels are ready when you need them. - **Maximize shelf time**: Seasonal products only sell if they’re in stores before customers start shopping. A Thanksgiving label that doesn’t arrive until late November misses its moment. - **Stay flexible**: Starting early gives you time to experiment with finishes like [foils](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamped-labels/), [embossing](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-labels/), or [special shapes](https://columbinelabel.com/special-shape-labels/) that can elevate your holiday look. --- ## Thanksgiving Labels: Warm & Gathered![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Harvest-Ridge-Sangria.jpg) Thanksgiving is all about warmth, family, and togetherness. Labels with earthy tones, seasonal motifs (like leaves or harvest imagery), and cozy textures resonate with shoppers.

One of the most important distinctions that brands, marketers, and procurement teams must understand is the difference between [**food labels**](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-food-labels/) and **food-grade labels**. Misunderstanding this difference can lead to compliance issues, consumer safety risks, or costly redesigns. Let’s break it down. --- ### What Is a Food Label? A **food label** generally refers to any label that appears on a food product or its packaging. These are what consumers read in the grocery aisle—ingredient lists, branding, nutrition facts, and expiration dates. These labels can be safely applied **to the outside** of packaging materials like jars, cartons, clamshells, or bags. However, these are **not necessarily food-grade** or safe for direct contact with the food itself. ### What Is a Food-Grade Label? A **food-grade label** refers to a label constructed with materials—including adhesive, facestock, and liner—that are safe for **direct food contact** as [defined by regulatory agencies like the FDA](https://www.fda.gov/food/food-ingredients-packaging/food-packaging-other-substances-come-contact-food-information-consumers). These labels are used in applications where the label might touch the actual edible portion of the food. Think of stickers on apples, or labels inside clear packaging meant to be visible through the product. --- ### Most Labels Are Not Meant for Direct Contact ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Food-Safe-Product-Labels-Clam-Shell-Container.png) While many pressure-sensitive labels and flexible packaging solutions are safe and compliant when applied **externally**, they are **not approved for direct contact with food**. This is especially important when designing packaging that may include internal labeling. One of our clients once requested a label to be applied to the **inside of a food container** so that branding and messaging would be visible when the container was opened.After evaluating the inks, laminates, and adhesives required, we had to **reject the project**. The materials involved were not certified for direct food contact, and we refused to compromise on safety. --- ### Adhesives and Inks: Not All Are Food Safe![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Food-Safe-Product-Labels-food-safe-coffee-sticker.jpg) Some packaging does require **direct food contact materials**, like: - **Flexible packaging** (e.g., stick packs, single-serve pouches) - **Fruit or vegetable stickers** - **Coffee lid stickers meant to seal the beverage** In these cases, **special adhesives** and **certified materials** must be used. However, even when using food-safe adhesives, it’s important to know that **inks and printed layers are almost never approved for direct food contact**. Only the **unprinted, food-contact side** of a material is considered safe. So if you’re thinking of placing a printed label directly onto food (like meat, cheese, or confections), stop right there and consult your label supplier. It’s not just about sticking something on—it’s about compliance, safety, and preserving product integrity. --- ### Use Case: Produce Labels There are exceptions where a food-contact adhesive is **not required**, such as with produce like **watermelons or bananas**. Why? Because consumers typically **do not eat the rind or peel**, making the risk of contamination negligible. These labels are considered safe under qualified indirect contact regulations. However, even in these cases, proper removal and disposal should be easy and clean to avoid any consumer dissatisfaction. --- ### What About Smells from Label Materials? Another question we sometimes hear from clients is: *“This label has a bit of a chemical smell—is it safe for food packaging?”* The answer is: **yes, in external applications**. As long as the label **does not make direct contact with the food item**, any odor from adhesives or inks will **not impact** the safety, taste, or aroma of the food inside. Labels used on jars, boxes, wrappers, and pouches are designed to perform safely without migrating into the product. This even extends to things like single use [pouches and stick packs](https://columbinelabel.com/flexible-packaging/). The substrate itself is approved for direct food contact and therefore the inside of the stick pack is good to go, even if the external inks have any type of smell, the chemicals from the inks will not migrate into the product inside. --- ### Be Clear with Your Label Printer If there is **any chance** your label will touch a food item you must disclose that to your label printer. Not all adhesives are food safe, and not all label constructions are suitable for direct or indirect food contact. Qualified printers can guide you to safe alternatives, such as: - FDA-approved adhesives - Food-contact safe facestocks - Laminates and coatings designed for indirect or incidental contact Being transparent about your application avoids costly mistakes, failed audits, or product recalls. --- ### Final Takeaway Understanding the difference between **food labels** and **food-grade labels** is not just about semantics—it’s about ensuring the safety and compliance of your product. From special adhesives to indirect contact rules, the materials you choose matter. Always work with a knowledgeable label partner who can help you navigate the details and provide the right solutions for your specific needs. Your product deserves packaging that looks great and protects your customer.

But behind each of these is a complex and often global supply chain—and lately, that chain has been under increasing pressure. Tariffs, essentially taxes on imported goods, are reshaping the economics of label manufacturing in the U.S. For label producers and customers alike, it’s no longer just about design and delivery. It’s about navigating international trade policies, material sourcing constraints, and volatile pricing—all of which impact what you pay for a finished label. In this post, we’ll break down how tariffs are impacting the label industry, how prices are being affected, and how **we’re actively mitigating these risks for our customers**. --- ## **The Global Supply Chain Behind Every Label** Although most label printing takes place in the United States, the materials behind those labels often come from around the globe. - **3M**, one of the largest suppliers of label adhesives and films, produces many of its materials in China. - **UPM Raflatac**, a key supplier of face stocks and liners, manufactures heavily in Europe—particularly in Poland and Finland. - Inks, films, adhesives, and liners are frequently sourced or processed overseas, even when finished products are printed in the U.S. This means that while the label may be “Made in the USA,” its upstream components, often have components that may originate from countries deeply affected by tariffs and trade policy. --- ## **Where Tariffs Hit the Label Industry Hardest** ### **Direct Costs on Imported Goods** The most obvious impact of tariffs is the increased cost of imported goods. For label converters, this often means higher prices for:![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Print-shop.jpg) - **Specialty films** (especially polyethylene and polypropylene-based) - **Release liners** - **Adhesives and coatings** - **Certain ink pigments and additives** If any of these come from tariff-affected countries, costs rise. For example, pressure-sensitive adhesives produced in China can be subject to tariffs of 10–25%, directly raising prices for converters. ### **Indirect Costs and Volatility** Even when materials aren’t directly tariffed, the market ripple effects cause: - Price instability - Longer lead times - Supplier uncertainty - Increased risk for last-minute substitutions This can wreak havoc on planning and consistency, especially for manufacturers running custom or highly regulated packaging. --- ## **Steel Tariffs and U.S. Die Manufacturing** ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Steel-Die-CNC-.jpg)Custom cutting dies are a cornerstone of most labeling operations. And while they are often **manufactured in the U.S.**, the steel used to make them is typically **imported**. With U.S. tariffs on foreign steel from countries like **China, Brazil, and Russia**, the price of tool steel has surged. Even domestically-made dies are now **more expensive and slower to produce**, especially for complex or short-run designs. This adds pressure not just to initial orders, but to any job that requires unique shapes or regular die updates. --- ## **The Printing Paradox: Made in the USA… With Global Parts** It’s easy to assume that if your labels are printed in America, global trade issues don’t affect you. The reality is more complicated. ### **Why Domestic Printing Doesn’t Mean Domestic Inputs** - **Inks** may be blended in the U.S. but rely on pigments and solvents sourced from China or India. - **Release liners** often use base papers or silicone coatings imported from Europe. - **Substrates**—the face material of the label—can contain multiple layers or additives produced across three or four countries. So even when the label is printed in a local shop, the materials have already crossed borders multiple times—making them vulnerable to tariffs, shipping delays, and political instability. --- ## **How Tariffs Impact Label Pricing** All of these pressures converge at the same place: **price**. ### **Why Label Prices Are Rising** - A 10–25% tariff on key materials can add **cents per label**, especially on high-volume or multi-layered constructions. - Tools like dies are more expensive due to steel tariffs. - Alternative suppliers are in high demand, so switching doesn’t always mean saving. For customers, this shows up as: - Higher per-unit label costs - Additional charges for tooling or expedited orders - Longer lead times for custom jobs --- ## **How We’re Responding: A Smarter Supply Chain Strategy** At our company, we’ve taken **proactive steps** to reduce exposure to tariff-related risks. Here’s how: ### **We Prioritize Non-Chinese Suppliers** We’ve structured our vendor network around partners who **don’t rely on Chinese raw materials**, helping avoid the brunt of the trade war fallout. ✅ **Inks** sourced from North America and Europe ✅ **Substrates** from EU-based or domestic providers ✅ **Dies** made in the U.S. with steel from low-risk regions ### **We Diversify Our Sources** Rather than relying on a single region or vendor, we keep **multiple qualified suppliers** for every material category. This allows us to pivot quickly when tariffs, shipping issues, or geopolitical problems arise. ### **We Communicate with Our Customers** Our customers get **early warnings and real options** when materials shift in price or availability. Whether it’s a more cost-stable alternative or a timeline adjustment, we believe in transparency—not surprises. --- ## **What the Future Holds for Label Manufacturing** Tariffs aren’t a temporary nuisance. They’re becoming a **long-term feature of the global trade environment**, especially in sensitive industries like chemicals, manufacturing, and materials. ### **What We’re Watching** - **Friendshoring & nearshoring:** Movement away from China toward U.S. allies like Mexico, Canada, and the EU. - **Domestic production incentives:** Pushes to bring back American manufacturing for paper, plastics, and steel. - **Shifting regulations:** With each election cycle, the trade landscape resets. Agility matters. We’re not just watching these changes—we’re building our operations around them. That way, our customers don’t have to worry about every headline. You can focus on your product, and we’ll focus on your packaging. --- ## **Conclusion: Labels May Be Small, But the Stakes Are Big** It’s easy to underestimate the complexity of a label. But when tariffs hit raw materials, the impact ripples all the way down the supply chain—to the print shop, the customer, and the end user. At our company, we’ve invested in **resilient, diverse, and transparent sourcing** to reduce risk and protect your pricing. We’re not immune to global forces, but we’re prepared—and committed to keeping your labels reliable, affordable, and on time. > 🙌 **Looking for a labeling partner who thinks beyond the press?** > [Contact us today](https://columbinelabel.com/contact-us/) to see how our supply chain strategy can benefit your next project. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Understanding California’s Proposition 65: What It Means for Consumers and Businesses](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-californias-proposition-65-what-it-means-for-consumers-and-businesses/) **Published:** April 7, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** California’s Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a piece of legislation that aims to protect California residents from exposure to chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This law requires businesses to provide clear and reasonable warnings if their products, packaging, or environments expose individuals to any of the chemicals listed under Prop 65. --- ### The Purpose of Proposition 65 Proposition 65 serves two main purposes: 1. **To Inform Consumers**: It ensures that Californians are informed about potential exposures to harmful chemicals in the products they use, the foods they consume, or the environments they visit. 2. **To Encourage Reformulation**: By mandating disclosure, the law incentivizes manufacturers to reformulate products to reduce or eliminate listed harmful chemicals. --- ### Who is Subject to Prop 65? Any business operating in California is generally subject to Proposition 65 requirements. However, there are some exemptions: 1. **Small Businesses**: Businesses with fewer than 10 employees are exempt from Prop 65’s warning requirements, though they are not exempt from its prohibition against discharging listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. 2. **Government Agencies**: State, local, and federal government entities are exempt. 3. **Businesses Outside California**: Companies not physically operating in California but selling products into the state may also be subject to Prop 65 if their products cause exposure to listed chemicals within California. This includes online retailers and manufacturers who ship products to California residents. Businesses that are subject to Prop 65 must assess whether their products or operations involve exposure to listed chemicals and comply with the necessary warning and labeling requirements. --- ### Chemicals Listed Under Proposition 65 The Prop 65 list, updated annually, contains over 900 chemicals. These chemicals include naturally occurring substances and synthetic chemicals used in: - Industrial processes - Food additives - Consumer products Some major chemicals on the list include: - **Lead**: Found in old paints, pipes, and some imported goods. - **Cadmium**: Commonly used in batteries and coatings. - **Phthalates**: Used as plasticizers in vinyl and other flexible plastics. - **Formaldehyde**: Present in some building materials and cosmetics. ### BPA and BPS: What Are They? Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS) are synthetic compounds widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. These chemicals are found in: - **BPA**: Canned food linings, water bottles, and thermal paper receipts. - **BPS**: A common substitute for BPA, used in the same applications. Both BPA and BPS are endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with hormone functions. BPA has been listed under Prop 65 since 2015, and BPS is being scrutinized for potential similar health effects. --- ### Packaging Implications: Does Prop 65 Cover It? Prop 65 applies not only to consumable products but also to their packaging. For instance, if a food product is packaged in materials that contain listed chemicals (such as BPA in the lining of cans), businesses must provide a warning unless they can demonstrate that exposure levels are below the established safe harbor limits. This requirement ensures that consumers are informed about risks from both the product and its container. ### What Are Safe Harbor Limits? Safe harbor limits are exposure levels for chemicals listed under Prop 65 that are deemed to pose no significant risk. These levels are established by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and vary depending on whether a chemical is classified as a carcinogen or a reproductive toxin. For example: - **For Carcinogens**: The safe harbor level is the maximum daily exposure level that results in no more than a 1 in 100,000 risk of cancer over a lifetime. - **For Reproductive Toxins**: The level is the maximum daily exposure level that has no observable effect, multiplied by a 1,000-fold safety factor. For detailed reference, the OEHHA provides a comprehensive list of safe harbor levels, which can be accessed [here](https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/general-info/current-proposition-65-no-significant-risk-levels-nsrls-maximum). --- ### How Businesses Must Respond to Proposition 65 If businesses choose not to reformulate their products to remove Prop 65-listed chemicals, they are required to provide a clear and reasonable warning to consumers. The warning must: - **Be Conspicuous**: It should be prominently displayed on the product, packaging, or at the point of purchase. - **Include Specific Language**: The warning must clearly identify the chemical(s) involved and the associated risks. For example: > WARNING: This product can expose you to \[Name of Chemical\], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer \[and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm\]. For more information, go to [www.P65Warnings.ca.gov](http://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov). - **Be Accessible**: Online retailers must also provide warnings on their websites, ensuring consumers are informed before purchasing the product. Businesses are advised to document their compliance efforts, including exposure assessments and any steps taken to determine whether warnings are necessary. Non-compliance can result in significant fines, up to [$2,500 per violation per day](https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/about-proposition-65#:~:text=What%20are%20the,violation%20per%20day.). --- ### Clarifications and Current Legislative Discussions As Prop 65 evolves, legislators and stakeholders continue to debate and clarify aspects of the law. Some of the current areas of focus include: - **Threshold Levels for Warnings**: Businesses often seek clearer guidelines on what constitutes a “meaningful exposure” and when warnings are required. - **Reformulation Incentives**: Discussions center on how to support companies that reformulate products to comply with Prop 65. - **Scientific Evaluations**: Efforts to enhance transparency in the listing process for new chemicals are ongoing, ensuring that updates are based on robust scientific evidence. --- ### Additions to the List in 2025 New chemicals are continuously evaluated for inclusion under Prop 65. In 2025, several chemicals are anticipated to be added, including: - **Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)**: Used in non-stick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and some food packaging. - **Additional Phthalates**: Common in flexible plastics and personal care products. These additions reflect growing concerns over environmental and health impacts, as well as increased scrutiny of chemicals used in everyday items. --- ### Conclusion Proposition 65 remains a powerful tool for consumer protection and environmental health in California. While it has led to significant changes in product formulations and consumer awareness, it also presents challenges for businesses navigating its complex requirements. Staying informed about updates, such as the addition of new chemicals and evolving guidelines, is crucial for both consumers and businesses alike. Columbine Label does our best to stay on top of current regulations that affect our clients.

While its roots are deeply planted in the construction and heavy industrial sectors, this initiative carries just as much value in the world of manufacturing—especially in printing, packaging, and label production. At Columbine Label, we’ve proudly participated in Safe + Sound Week every year since 2021. For us, it’s more than a check-the-box exercise. It’s an annual reminder that safety doesn’t just happen—it’s built, maintained, and improved through intentional actions and continuous attention. The “sound” part of “safe and sound” resonates with us, because a company that operates safely also operates efficiently, reliably, and ethically. Safety is not only about protecting people (though that’s the most important part)—it’s also a reflection of a company’s culture, values, and long-term thinking. ### Safety in Manufacturing: Not Just for Construction Sites When people think of safety gear and OSHA posters, they often picture scaffolding, hard hats, and fall harnesses. And yes, that’s vital. But what happens inside a label plant, with high-speed presses, die-cutting equipment, hot stamping systems, and chemical-based inks, deserves the same level of vigilance and respect. The risks might look different in manufacturing, but they’re no less serious: - **Moving mechanical components** can lead to crushing or cutting injuries. - **Solvents and adhesives** can introduce respiratory or skin exposure risks. - **Ergonomic strain** from repetitive tasks or improper lifting takes a toll over time. - **Slips, trips, and falls** are universal across all industries. That’s why we take a proactive approach year-round—not just during Safe + Sound Week—to keep our team safe and our facility running smoothly. --- ## What Safe + Sound Means to Columbine Label At [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/), our Safe + Sound Week activities fall into three categories that reflect OSHA’s recommended core elements of a workplace safety and health program: **Management Leadership, Worker Participation, and a Systematic Approach to Finding and Fixing Hazards**. Here’s how we translate those principles into action in a label manufacturing setting: ### 1. **Leadership Sets the Tone** Our leadership team doesn’t treat safety as a compliance issue—it’s a commitment. Since 2021, we’ve used Safe + Sound Week as an annual moment to: - Review and update our safety policies - Reinforce expectations around PPE, equipment operation, and housekeeping - Discuss near-miss reports and lessons learned - Talk openly about safety culture—not just rules, but attitudes We also make a point to be visible and involved. When employees see managers taking safety seriously, it sends the clear message that it matters. ### 2. **Team Involvement is Key** One of the most effective aspects of Safe + Sound Week is that it’s designed to be *participatory*. We actively engage our team in: - Safety huddles with rotating key topics of interest - Hands-on demos (e.g., using fire extinguishers, ergonomic lifting techniques) - Quizzes and challenges with small prizes to make it fun and memorable We’ve found that giving our team the chance to speak up not only brings attention to issues leadership might miss—it also builds a sense of ownership and accountability. ### 3. **Fix It Before It Breaks (or Hurts)** Safe + Sound Week is also when we kick off our annual internal audit of the plant floor from a safety lens. We inspect: - Electrical cords, guards, and outlets - Emergency exits and egress paths - Signage and labeling on hazardous materials - PPE availability and condition - Ergonomics at workstations When our team flags a potential hazard, it gets logged and reviewed—not ignored. --- ## Making Safety a Brand Standard We’re a label company, so naturally, we think a lot about standards—adhesive standards, color standards, substrate compatibility standards. But none of that matters if we don’t also uphold **safety standards**. Why? Because the way a company treats its employees affects everything else: product quality, order accuracy, lead times, customer trust. Here are a few ways we’ve built safety into our brand DNA: - **Onboarding:** Every new hire at Columbine Label gets safety training within their first 48 hours, including a walkthrough of our safe operating procedures and emergency protocols. - **Cross-Training:** We encourage employees to understand more than just their job—this improves versatility *and* situational awareness on the floor. - **Maintenance Protocols:** Preventive maintenance isn’t just about machine uptime. It’s also about removing risks before they become problems—like securing loose guards or fixing air leaks. - **Continuous Improvement:** We treat safety feedback the same way we treat customer feedback. If we’re not constantly improving, we’re falling behind. --- ## 2025 Safe + Sound Week: Our Focus Each year, we choose a theme or focus area to guide our Safe + Sound Week activities. For 2025, we’re zeroing in on **Situational Awareness and Communication**. Why? Because no matter how many rules we write down or signs we post, the most effective safety tool is a *mind that’s paying attention*. Here’s what we’re emphasizing: - **Stop, Think, Act:** Encouraging a mental pause before starting any task, especially one that involves equipment or movement. - **Look Out for Each Other:** Peer-to-peer support helps identify blind spots—literally and figuratively. - **Speak Up Culture:** We want our employees to feel safe *talking about safety.* That includes flagging a concern, making a suggestion, or saying “wait a second” before something goes wrong. --- ## Safe + Sound Extends Beyond Our Walls Our commitment to safety doesn’t stop at our loading dock. We work with vendors, suppliers, and contractors who share our values. When selecting partners—whether it’s for materials, equipment, or logistics—we ask about their safety practices. Because if a supplier consistently puts people at risk, it tells us something about how they’ll handle *our* orders, too. We also keep our customers in mind. A well-run, safety-conscious operation leads to: - Fewer delays due to accidents or downtime - Better quality control from focused, alert operators - Lower turnover and more experienced team members - Confidence that your labels are made in a facility that cares as much about its people as it does about your brand --- ## Join the Movement If you’re in manufacturing—whether you’re making candles, seasoning blends, cold brew coffee, or supplements—you may not think of yourself as part of the “safety-first” world like construction or oil & gas. But every production floor is full of motion, material handling, and multitasking. And every team deserves a workplace that values their health and well-being. Safe + Sound Week is a great time to pause and reflect on how safety fits into your own operations: - Are your employees trained on more than just how to do their job, but how to do it *safely*? - Do you treat safety as an occasional topic or a daily habit? - When’s the last time someone flagged a potential hazard—and what happened next? Whether you’re running a multi-site production operation or hand-packing orders out of a shared kitchen, the basics apply. Take care of your team, and they’ll take care of your business. --- ## Final Thoughts At Columbine Label, we believe that safety and soundness are signs of strength. Participating in OSHA’s Safe + Sound Week since 2021 has helped us sharpen our focus, renew our commitment, and build a culture where safety isn’t the job of one person—it’s the mindset of everyone. To our fellow manufacturers: join us in using this week as more than a formality. Let’s lead by example and show that no matter the size of your facility, the number of your employees, or the volume of your output—**a safe shop is a successful one.** Happy Safe + Sound Week! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** Health, News and Tips --- ### [PFAS Labeling Requirements: What Brands Need to Know](https://columbinelabel.com/pfas-labeling-requirements-what-brands-need-to-know/) **Published:** September 8, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** As regulators and consumers grow more concerned about the environmental and health impacts of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals”, a new wave of legislation is starting to impact packaging materials. Several states have passed or are considering laws that require disclosure, or even outright bans, of PFAS in food packaging and other consumer products. For brands that rely on custom product labels, it’s time to pay close attention. While much of the legislation focuses on broader packaging materials, labels are increasingly being included in these regulations. Let’s break down what PFAS are, where legislation stands today, and how it could impact your product labels. --- ## What Are PFAS, and Why Are They Being Regulated? [PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)](https://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-explained) are a large group of man-made chemicals used for their water and grease resistant properties. They’ve been found in everything from nonstick cookware to takeout containers, and yes, even in some inks, adhesives, and coatings used in packaging. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS don’t break down naturally and have been linked to environmental contamination and potential health concerns, including hormonal disruption, immune system issues, and cancer. Because of this, states and countries are starting to regulate PFAS in consumer goods, especially in products that touch food or are likely to enter the waste stream. --- ## Current PFAS Regulations in the U.S. Regulations are evolving rapidly, and what applies today could change in the near future. But [here’s where things stand as of mid-2025](https://www.saferstates.org/priorities/pfas/): ### States with PFAS Packaging Restrictions or Bans: - **California:** Bans PFAS in plant-based food packaging and requires disclosure if present. - **Maine:** Requires manufacturers to report PFAS in products sold in the state and aims to ban most uses by 2030. - **Washington:** Prohibits PFAS in food packaging where safer alternatives are available. - **New York:** Has banned PFAS in food packaging since 2023. Several other states including Minnesota, Vermont, and Connecticut have either introduced legislation or enacted phased bans that will go into effect within the next few years. --- ## Are Labels Affected by PFAS Regulations? This is where things get nuanced. Label materials aren’t always called out explicitly in legislation, but they often fall under broader definitions of “packaging.” Here’s what may be impacted: - **Topcoats and Laminates:** Some label finishes that enhance gloss, durability, or water resistance may contain fluorochemicals. - **Adhesives:** While less common, some older adhesive formulations may include PFAS derivatives. - **Flexible Packaging Labels:** For flexible pouches or stick packs, the label might be part of the total film structure and therefore part of the regulated packaging. - **Direct-Food Contact Labels:** If your label touches the product directly (like on produce, bakery items, or to go coffee lids), it’s more likely to come under scrutiny. Even when PFAS aren’t present in your labels, increasing legislation is pushing for **disclosure and documentation**. You may be asked by customers or retailers to prove that your labels are PFAS free. --- ## What Brand Owners Should Do Now ### 1. **Ask Your Label Supplier About PFAS-Free Options** Start the conversation with your label printer. Ask if any of your current materials contain PFAS or if alternatives are available. At Columbine Label, we’re already primarily PFAS free and helping new customers transition to substrates and adhesives that meet new regulatory standards. ### 2. **Audit Your Packaging System** PFAS could be in more than just the label. Work with your packaging partners to assess films, coatings, liners, and adhesives throughout your system. ### 3. **Stay Ahead of the Regulations** Even if you don’t sell in California or Maine today, legislation is moving quickly. Assume that PFAS disclosure or bans will be coming to more states and plan accordingly. ### 4. **Document and Disclose** Retailers and manufacturers may start asking for documentation that your labels are PFAS-free. Make sure your suppliers can provide the appropriate declarations or certifications. --- ## How Columbine Label Is Responding As a label supplier committed to both quality and regulatory compliance, Columbine Label is actively monitoring PFAS regulations across the U.S. We’ve already worked with suppliers to source **PFAS-free adhesives, inks, and laminates** when needed and can help you make the transition with minimal disruption. If you sell in a state with PFAS disclosure laws, or you just want to future proof your packaging, we’re here to help. We can assist you with selecting compliant materials, supplying documentation, and keeping you informed about changing requirements. --- ## PFAS and the Bigger Picture The push for PFAS-free packaging is part of a broader trend toward cleaner, safer materials and greater transparency in the supply chain. From [Prop 65 warnings](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-californias-proposition-65-what-it-means-for-consumers-and-businesses/) to the FDA’s evolving definitions of “healthy,” label compliance is no longer just a regulatory checkbox, it’s a critical brand trust issue. Consumers want to know what’s in their products and packaging. Retailers want assurance that goods meet environmental standards. Governments are moving to eliminate harmful chemicals. Labels, small but mighty, are right in the middle of it all. --- ## Final Thoughts: A Smart Label Is a Compliant Label PFAS regulations are only going to increase, and brands that are proactive will be better positioned to adapt quickly. Your label may be just one piece of your product packaging, but it can have outsized importance when it comes to compliance, consumer trust, and product perception. Have questions about how PFAS laws could affect your labels or packaging materials? **Reach out to Columbine Label.** We’re here to help you label smarter, today and for the future. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [What the “Big Beautiful Bill” Means for Small Business & Your Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/what-the-big-beautiful-bill-means-for-small-business-your-labels/) **Published:** July 28, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ### What Washington Just Changed—And Why It Matters to You The “[Big Beautiful Bill](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text)” may sound like political fluff, but make no mistake—it’s a massive economic and tax package that’s set to shape how small and midsized businesses invest, grow, and stay competitive in the coming years. If you own a business that makes or sells a product—whether it’s food, supplements, beverages, cosmetics, or something else entirely—this bill affects you. At [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/), we aren’t economists or tax attorneys, but we *do* work with hundreds of brands navigating exactly these kinds of changes. We’re keeping a close watch on what this bill means for manufacturing, packaging, compliance, and growth—so we can help you respond quickly and stay ahead. While labels may seem like a small detail, they’re one of the most powerful tools in your supply chain. --- ### What Is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” Really? The “Big Beautiful Bill” (as it’s been casually dubbed by lawmakers and the media) is a major tax and economic policy update passed in 2025. It includes extensions of business tax cuts, changes to how companies can deduct equipment purchases, incentives for reshoring manufacturing, and new compliance rules that could impact your packaging strategy. Here are a few of the most relevant takeaways for product-based businesses: - **Extended 20% Pass-Through Deduction** for LLCs, S-Corps, and other small businesses - **100% Bonus Depreciation** extended through 2027—great news for capital investments - **Reshoring Incentives** for U.S.-based manufacturing - **Expanded R&D Credits** - **Work Requirement Changes** for federal benefits, impacting labor markets - **New Funding for Regulatory Enforcement** (think labeling, packaging, and consumer disclosures) It’s a lot to unpack—but here’s what it could mean for *you.* --- ### 1. More Room to Grow: Tax Breaks for Equipment, Expansion, and Innovation If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your production line, adding automation, or investing in new packaging systems, now may be the time. The 100% bonus depreciation rule means you can deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year you buy it—making those big purchases a little less painful. This could include everything from bottling and filling lines to label applicators and custom automation. We’ve already seen customers exploring higher-speed label application equipment that has required a switch from paper liner to [PET liner](https://columbinelabel.com/pet-liner-performance/) for durability reasons —and we’re helping them test and spec accordingly. **Our role:** We’re ready to collaborate with your operations team to make sure your labels are compatible with any new equipment or formats you introduce. It’s in our mutual best interest that your label application equipment works flawlessly with our labels! Bring us into the conversation early to avoid costly trial-and-error down the road. --- ### 2. Reshoring and “Made in the USA” Are Getting a Boost The bill includes tax incentives for companies that reshore manufacturing or prioritize domestic suppliers. That’s a big shift—and one that aligns with how many of our customers are already thinking, especially in light of supply chain disruptions and tariff pressures over the past few years. If you’re sourcing packaging or ingredients from overseas, this may be your signal to start exploring local alternatives. That includes labels and packaging components. **What we’re doing:** At Columbine Label, we already prioritize U.S.-based materials for our substrates, dies, and inks. We’ve built a resilient, domestic supply chain so you don’t have to stress about delays, tariffs, or availability. This is one way we help you stay nimble in an unpredictable global market. --- ### 3. A Tougher Compliance Landscape—Especially for Packaging and Labeling Here’s something many brand owners miss: when Congress adds funding for regulatory enforcement, packaging gets swept up in the mix. From [PFAS disclosure requirements](https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/tsca-section-8a7-reporting-and-recordkeeping) to [FDA nutrition label updates](https://columbinelabel.com/fda-labeling-updates-2025/) and [FTC “green” marketing rules](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-the-ftcs-green-guides-a-spotlight-on-greenwashing/), regulatory expectations around packaging and product communication are tightening. Whether you sell snacks, supplements, personal care, or pet treats, you’ll want to be confident that your labels comply. **We can help:** We stay up to date on regulatory changes that affect what can go on your label, how it must be presented, and what materials are allowed. Need FDA-friendly adhesives for a coffee cup lid label? Trying to avoid PFAS in flexible packaging? We’ve got you covered. --- ### 4. The Labor Market May Shift—And So Will Customer Demand The bill includes new work requirements for certain benefits, which may increase labor force participation. For some businesses, this could ease hiring challenges. For others, it may mean changes in customer behavior as more households experience income shifts. For product makers, this could translate into increased demand, more frequent reorders, and a bigger focus on price-point packaging. **What that means for labels:** More SKUs. Smaller runs. Targeted [seasonal designs](https://columbinelabel.com/is-it-too-early-for-pumpkin-spice-not-if-you-own-a-business/). [Private-label expansions](https://columbinelabel.com/private-label-growth-is-exploding-heres-how-theyre-using-labels-to-win/). This is where smart label strategy becomes a secret weapon. --- ### 5. Private Label and Startup Brands Will Thrive in This Economy When tax credits flow toward U.S. manufacturing, and regulatory clarity improves, it’s not just the big players who benefit. Small and fast-growing brands will have more breathing room to innovate. We expect a surge in: - Private label programs (especially in food, supplements, and wellness) - New product launches from small to midsized manufacturers - Niche brands with sustainable or functional claims **Label implications:** These brands need packaging that’s quick to produce, cost-efficient in smaller volumes, and visually on-trend. Digital printing and short-run flexibility become key. We work with dozens of these brands already, helping them pivot quickly, scale smart, and launch with confidence. --- ### Why Is a Label Printer Talking About Tax Law? Fair question. Here’s why we’re paying attention: **Because when you grow, we grow.** Our business is built around helping you take your products to market efficiently and beautifully. When legislation changes the playing field—whether it’s how you invest, where you manufacture, or what needs to go on your label—we’re one of the first vendors who sees the impact. We know labels aren’t your biggest line item, in fact they are frequently your least expensive input. But they *are* one of the final steps in your supply chain—and if they’re wrong, delayed, or non-compliant, everything else stops. So yes, we’re talking about the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Because it may determine what you launch, how fast you grow, and what kind of packaging your team will need next quarter. --- ### What to Do Now Here are a few action steps for brand owners and product manufacturers navigating this post-bill landscape: ✅ **Talk to your accountant or tax advisor** Ask if bonus depreciation or reshoring credits apply to your business. ✅ **Assess your packaging equipment and labeling needs** If you’re upgrading machinery, make sure your labels are compatible. ✅ **Review your supply chain for U.S.-made options** Domestic sourcing isn’t just patriotic—it’s now incentivized. ✅ **Check compliance for any upcoming label changes** From “healthy” claims to PFAS-free materials, don’t get caught off guard. ✅ **Loop your label printer in early** We can help you spec for new SKUs, formats, or regulatory shifts. It saves time, money, and stress. --- ### Final Thoughts: Big Picture, Small Details The “Big Beautiful Bill” is big-picture legislation—but the day-to-day effects will show up in the small stuff. In your packaging. In your supply chain. In how quickly you can react to new demand. At Columbine Label, we don’t just print labels—we help brands move faster, stay compliant, and make bold first impressions. If you’re looking at how this legislation might change your plans, let’s talk. We’re not here to give tax advice—but we *are* here to make sure your packaging strategy keeps up with your business strategy. Because while Washington may debate the big stuff, we’ll keep our focus on what matters to you: beautiful, reliable, on-time labels that help your product shine. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Is It Too Early for Pumpkin Spice? Not If You Own a Business](https://columbinelabel.com/is-it-too-early-for-pumpkin-spice-not-if-you-own-a-business/) **Published:** July 14, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** Pumpkin spice. Those two words spark intense reactions—adoration, ridicule, anticipation, or a combination of all three. Every year, as summer hits its peak, a familiar question starts swirling: **Is it too early for pumpkin spice?** For consumers, the answer might be yes. For manufacturers, however, **the answer is an emphatic no**. If you’re in the business of producing food, beverage, beauty, wellness, home fragrance, or personal care products, you already know: **your timeline runs ahead of the customer’s calendar.** Fall flavors, fall fragrances, and fall product lines should be in motion by midsummer—or even earlier. And if your product is hitting shelves in September, your **pumpkin spice labels need to be printing now**. Let’s dive into why it’s not too early for pumpkin spice—and what seasonal planning really looks like for savvy manufacturers. --- ## The Season Behind the Season Consumers think in real time: It’s July, so they want lemonade, not lattes. But brands and manufacturers think in **product cycles**. That means: - **Product development** often begins 6–12 months in advance. - **Label design and compliance checks** take place 3–6 months ahead of launch. - **Packaging procurement** and **label printing** needs to happen **at least 8 weeks** before a product release. So while the public is planning their beach trips, brand owners are knee-deep in cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove oil. If you’re not already planning your autumn line—and the labels that go with it—you’re at risk of missing the seasonal wave entirely. --- ## Why Pumpkin Spice Still Matters (Yes, Really) Pumpkin spice isn’t just a flavor—it’s a cultural phenomenon. Since Starbucks popularized the PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) in 2003, the flavor has become a **seasonal signal**, almost like holiday decorations or back-to-school ads. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-1-2025-12_51_22-PM.jpg) But the trend is bigger than just coffee. According to [NielsenIQ](https://nielseniq.com/global/en/insights/analysis/2017/are-americans-still-falling-for-pumpkin/), pumpkin spice-flavored products generate **over $500 million** in annual retail sales across multiple categories: - Coffee creamers and syrups - Snack bars and breakfast cereals - Candles and wax melts - Lotions and body scrubs - Pet treats - Beer, spirits, and ciders Every fall, shelves brim with orange and brown hues and cozy flavor cues. It’s not a niche—it’s a retail strategy. And it sells. But only if it’s on time. --- ## Miss the Window, Miss the Sale![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Pumpkin-spice-grocery-store.jpg) Pumpkin spice season has a narrow but lucrative window. While consumers may roll their eyes in August, **many retailers are stocking seasonal SKUs by then**, especially major grocery and big box chains. If your products are late to shelf—or even late to your own e-commerce launch—you risk: - **Missing buyer review deadlines** - **Losing limited seasonal shelf space** - **Falling behind competitors already advertising “fall favorites”** Even for DTC brands, launching in sync with cultural momentum is crucial. You want your seasonal product **live and ready** as early adopters start their annual fall shopping binge. And none of that happens unless your packaging—especially your [**labels**](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels/)—is ready early. --- ## Labels Can Take Longer Than You Think You can have the best pumpkin spice formula on earth, but if your label isn’t approved, printed, and shipped, your product isn’t going anywhere. Here’s why labels can take longer than you may think: - **Design iteration takes longer than expected.** - **Regulatory copy** (like ingredients and nutritional info) requires multiple eyes. - **Specialty finishes** like foil stamping, textured stock, or autumn-themed embellishments may have longer lead times. - **Custom sizes** or die cuts can require tooling and approval time. Many businesses underestimate how early they need to submit label artwork—and how long revisions, proofing, and production can take. Especially in Q3, when **label printers get slammed with seasonal orders**. It is vital that businesses have their artwork **[“print ready”](https://columbinelabel.com/art-guidelines/)** to avoid additional hang ups and delays. At Columbine Label, for instance, we often see a spike in rush requests come August and while our **standard turn time for digital labels is 3-5 business days** after art approval, this time of year often makes that lead time closer to the 5 days than the 3. --- ## Seasonal Labels Drive Seasonal Sales Let’s not forget: the label is your **first impression**—especially for seasonal releases. Pumpkin spice products are competing in a saturated space. That means **standout labels matter** more than ever. A seasonal label: - Signals the limited-time nature of the product - Triggers emotional associations (cozy, comforting, nostalgic) - Aligns your brand with the cultural moment - Increases shelf appeal with warm color palettes and autumn imagery You wouldn’t sell a holiday candle in generic packaging. The same applies to fall food and beverage. You need your seasonal identity front and center—and your label is where that happens. --- ## It’s Not Just Pumpkin: Think Ahead for All Seasons Pumpkin spice is the poster child for seasonal marketing, but the same logic applies year-round. Smart brands treat their label planning like a fashion calendar—**always a season or two ahead.** Here’s a typical seasonal label planning timeline: SeasonProduct On-ShelfLabels Should Be in ProductionSpring (floral, fresh, light)March–MayJanuarySummer (citrus, tropical)June–AugustMarch/AprilFall (pumpkin spice, apple, cinnamon)September–NovemberJulyHoliday/Winter (peppermint, pine, cocoa)November–JanuaryAugust/September By building label planning into your product development schedule, you set your seasonal launches up for success. --- ## Tips for Getting Ahead on Seasonal Labels Whether you’re a first-time seasonal product maker or a seasoned private label producer, here are five ways to stay on schedule: ### 1. **Create a Seasonal Label Calendar** Map out your year by flavor launches or product themes. Backtrack 12 weeks from your intended launch to plan label design and approvals. ### 2. **Design with Modularity** Build flexibility into your labels—like reusing layouts and updating only flavor names or color accents—to speed up seasonal turnarounds. ### 3. **Talk to Your Label Printer Early** Loop in your print partner during product development—not just at the end. They can help you anticipate lead times, material options, and embellishment choices. ### 4. **Use Digital Label Printing for Small Batches** Testing pumpkin spice for the first time? Go digital. Digital printing lets you run short batches, add versioning, and respond quickly if demand spikes. ### 5. **Forecast Demand with Past Data** Use sales history to forecast how many labels you’ll need, especially if you’re restocking mid-season. A good label partner can help you build in buffer stock or reorder easily. --- ## Why It’s Not Too Early—It’s Just Good Business Back to our original question: **Is it too early for pumpkin spice?** For a consumer, maybe. For a manufacturer, **being “early” is the only way to be on time.** Launching a successful seasonal product takes more than a great recipe. It takes **label strategy, supply chain timing, and visual impact**. And for that, you need to be thinking fall while it’s still hot outside. If you want your autumn SKUs to stand out, now is the moment to finalize your **pumpkin spice labels**, not wait for sweater weather. --- ## How Columbine Label Can Help At Columbine Label, we specialize in helping brands stay ahead of the season with: - **Flexible ordering** for seasonal runs - **Digital printing** options - **Speedy turn times** - **Specialty finishes** for standout fall looks - **Expert support** to help your seasonal strategy succeed Whether you’re rolling out a new fall flavor or reprinting a fan favorite, we can help you get your label just right—and right on time. --- ## Final Thoughts: Be First to Fall Pumpkin spice isn’t just a product—it’s a moment. And in the seasonal product world, **first to shelf often means first to sale**. Don’t let your great idea get stuck waiting for a label. Be proactive. Be seasonal. And yes—embrace pumpkin spice in July. Because if you’re running a business, it’s not too early. It’s just in time. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Private Label Growth Is Exploding—Here’s How They’re Using Labels to Win](https://columbinelabel.com/private-label-growth-is-exploding-heres-how-theyre-using-labels-to-win/) **Published:** June 30, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In today’s evolving retail landscape, private label products—once synonymous with plain packaging and bargain-bin pricing—have taken a bold step into the spotlight. Retailers are no longer just stocking their shelves with name brands; they’re creating their own. And consumers are responding in kind. In 2024, [private label market share surged past 20% in the U.S.](https://northamerica.visionmagazine.com/private-labels-retail-growth-north-america/) and even higher in Europe, with double-digit growth across many categories including grocery, beauty, wellness, and pet care. What’s fueling this explosion? A mix of inflation-wary shoppers, evolving consumer trust, and retailers investing heavily in “premiumization”. But one often overlooked catalyst is the humble product label. From clever copy to captivating design, labels are now a critical part of how private labels position themselves as desirable, differentiated, and trustworthy. Let’s explore how smart private label brands are using labels to win—and what lessons can be learned by other brand owners. --- ## From Generic to Premium: The Private Label Transformation![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Private-Label-Blog-Image-Store-Brand-Examples.png) Private label products used to be easy to spot: bland designs, minimal branding, and a strong focus on price. Think no-frills cereal boxes or store-brand paper towels. But that image has been disrupted. Today’s private label strategies focus on emotional connection, niche positioning, and polished branding. Retailers like Target (with brands like Good & Gather), Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods (365 Everyday Value), and Kroger (Simple Truth) are investing in visually appealing, informative, and brand-forward labels that rival—or exceed—their national brand competitors. The transformation has elevated private labels from cost-saving alternatives to brands with their own identity. And the label on the packaging is doing much of the heavy lifting. --- ## The Label as Brand Builder A well-crafted label isn’t just a sticker—it’s a mini-billboard, a silent salesperson, and often the [first (and only) chance](https://columbinelabel.com/3-7-seconds-capture-the-first-moment-of-truth-fmot-with-custom-product-labels/) a product has to make an impression on the shelf or online. For private label products, the stakes are even higher. Here’s how they’re using labels strategically: ### 1. **Design That Signals Quality** Consumers judge books by their covers—and groceries by their labels. Private label products are investing in high-end design elements to make a strong visual impact.![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Private-Label-Blog-Image-Trader-Joes-Skincare.png) - **Minimalist aesthetics** signal modernity and cleanliness (e.g., Trader Joe’s skincare line). - **Bold colors and typography** help private brands stand out and feel intentional, not like a compromise. - **Matte finishes, metallic foils, and custom die cuts** add tactile and visual value, creating a premium feel. Example: **Target’s Good & Gather** uses clean, contemporary design with fresh food imagery and carefully chosen fonts that convey health and quality without being overly busy. It’s designed not to feel like a store brand—just a good brand. ### 2. **Category-Specific Labeling** Private label programs are no longer generic across the board. Instead, they’re tailoring their labeling strategies to specific consumer expectations within different categories. - **Grocery**: Focus on appetite appeal, ingredient transparency, and health claims (e.g., “non-GMO,” “plant-based,” “no added sugar”). - **Personal care**: Clean, minimalist labeling with emotional language like “gentle,” “restorative,” or “soothing.” - **Pet care**: Labels mimic premium pet food brands, using earthy colors, animal photos, and claims like “grain-free” or “vet-formulated.” This category-specific labeling shows shoppers that the retailer understands each product’s context—and meets the standards consumers expect. ### 3. **Transparent, Clever Copywriting** Label copy has become a key differentiator. Private label brands are embracing storytelling and clear communication over generic, vague descriptions. - **Tone of voice**: Brands like Trader Joe’s are known for quirky, engaging copy that connects emotionally with customers. This creates brand loyalty beyond price. - **Ingredient clarity**: Many private label products lead with transparent, simple descriptions of what’s inside and what’s not (e.g., “Made with just three ingredients” or “No artificial preservatives ever”). - **Sustainability cues**: Words like “locally sourced,” “certified organic,” or “100% recyclable label” build trust with eco-conscious consumers. Retailers understand that copy sells—and in the private label game, strong label text builds confidence and connection. --- ## Functional Features That Build Trust Beyond aesthetics and messaging, many private labels are using functional features on labels to earn customer confidence. ### 1. **QR Codes and Digital Extensions** Some private label products now include [QR codes](https://columbinelabel.com/the-shift-from-upc-barcodes-to-variable-data-qr-codes-a-packaging-revolution/) that link to:![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Private-Label-Blog-Image-QR-codes.png) - Ingredient sourcing info - Recipes and usage tips - Sustainability or ethical sourcing details - Brand story videos These smart labels extend the brand story beyond the packaging, helping retailers compete with national brands that often dominate digital engagement. ### 2. **Regulatory and Trust Marks** Consumers are more discerning than ever. Labels that include recognizable trust marks (e.g., USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, cruelty-free icons) immediately communicate compliance and quality. Private label brands are leaning on third-party certifications and making space on their labels for these symbols, elevating their perceived value. ### 3. **Clear Allergen and Nutritional Callouts** Health-conscious shoppers scrutinize labels. Private label brands are responding with thoughtful layout and typography that highlight key dietary claims: - “Gluten-Free” and “Dairy-Free” in bold, high-contrast type - Sugar and sodium content placed prominently - Clean ingredient lists and “no artificial flavors” messaging This clarity doesn’t just help consumers—it reassures them, and that builds long-term brand loyalty. --- ## Private Label Labeling in Action: Notable Examples Here are a few real-world illustrations of how private label brands are winning with label design: ### **1. ALDI’s Simply Nature and Specially Selected** ALDI’s private label brands now look boutique-worthy. Simply Nature leans into natural cues—green palettes, kraft paper textures, and clean fonts—while Specially Selected exudes luxury with dark backgrounds, gold accents, and sophisticated typography. Result: Consumers associate ALDI with both health and indulgence, not just cost savings. ### **2. Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value** This brand’s redesign focuses on minimalism and function. Product categories use color-coded themes, simple ingredient callouts, and easy-to-scan nutrition. It feels fresh, modern, and informative—exactly what Whole Foods’ shoppers expect. ### **3. Costco’s Kirkland Signature** Kirkland’s labels might not be flashy, but they’re effective: clean design, consistent layout, and a focus on value messaging. “Same quality as national brands at a lower price” is their implicit pitch, and the label communicates that clearly with comparisons and callouts. --- ## What This Means for Emerging Brands and Label Printers Private label growth presents both a challenge and an opportunity for other brands and label producers. ### For Emerging Brands: The private label bar has been raised. Competing on design, storytelling, and trust signals is no longer optional—it’s the cost of entry. National brands must invest in professional packaging, authentic messaging, and targeted design to differentiate in a retail space increasingly dominated by attractive private labels. ### For Label Printers and Designers: Private label retailers often look for agile, responsive suppliers who can help them quickly iterate, scale, and differentiate across SKUs. This means: - **Short runs and fast turnarounds** are in demand to test new private label products. - [**Variable data printing** ](https://columbinelabel.com/variable-data-labels/)enables seasonal promotions or category-specific messaging. - [**Sustainable label materials**](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability/) are more frequently requested as retailers build ESG commitments into their brand strategy. Printers that can offer high-quality design support, material innovation, and strategic guidance will become indispensable partners in the private label boom. --- ## Final Thoughts: Labels Are the New Front Line Private label growth is here to stay—and it’s changing how consumers shop and how retailers brand themselves. The product label, once an afterthought, is now a crucial part of the brand experience. From a simple sticker to a multi-sensory brand tool, labels are helping private labels win hearts, carts, and market share. As design gets smarter, copy gets sharper, and consumers get choosier, there’s never been a more important time to invest in what goes on the outside of your product. Whether you’re a private label, an emerging brand, or a label provider, the message is clear: Labels aren’t just how products are identified—they’re how they’re *chosen*. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Exploring Laminations: Beyond Matte and Gloss to Tactile and Specialty Finishes](https://columbinelabel.com/exploring-laminations-beyond-matte-and-gloss-to-tactile-and-specialty-finishes/) **Published:** June 2, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** When it comes to product labels and packaging, the lamination choice can dramatically influence the look, feel, and even the perceived value of a product. While most people are familiar with the standard matte and gloss laminations, the world of lamination is far richer and more exciting than these basics suggest. From tactile laminations like soft touch and linen to specialty finishes that create holographic or textured effects, lamination offers a powerful tool to elevate packaging and label designs. In this blog, we’ll explore various lamination types—starting with tactile laminations that appeal to the sense of touch, then moving into specialty laminations such as holographic effects, linen finishes, and other creative options that go beyond the norm. Whether you’re a brand owner, designer, or packaging enthusiast, understanding these options can help you make informed decisions to enhance your product’s shelf appeal and customer experience. --- ## What is Lamination? Lamination is a protective film applied over printed materials—like labels or packaging—to enhance durability, aesthetics, and tactile qualities. It acts as a shield against moisture, scratches, UV light, and everyday wear and tear, prolonging the life of the print while also creating a finished look and feel. The most common lamination finishes are: - **Gloss Lamination** — Creates a shiny, reflective surface that makes colors pop. - **Matte Lamination** — Offers a soft, non-reflective finish with a more understated elegance. - **Thermal Transfer Lamination** — Sensitive thermal transfer printers and can be stamped or printed on for things like expiration dates. But lamination has evolved beyond these basics to include specialized tactile and visual effects, allowing brands to distinguish themselves with unique textures and eye-catching finishes. --- ## Tactile Laminations: Adding a Sensory Dimension Tactile laminations are designed not only to protect but also to engage the sense of touch. They invite consumers to interact with the product through texture, adding a layer of sensory branding that can boost perceived quality and memorability. ### Soft Touch Lamination Soft touch lamination is one of the most popular tactile finishes in premium packaging and labeling. It imparts a velvety, suede-like feel that’s smooth and luxurious to the touch. Unlike traditional gloss or matte, soft touch invites consumers to linger longer over the product, enhancing tactile engagement. **Benefits of Soft Touch:** - Creates a high-end, sophisticated look and feel. - Provides a subtle, elegant matte finish. - Adds a tactile contrast when combined with spot UV or gloss varnish elements. - Enhances grip, reducing slip. Soft touch films typically have a slight haze effect that diffuses light, giving the printed graphics a muted, refined appearance. This finish works beautifully on luxury goods, cosmetics, electronics, and boutique food products. ### Linen Lamination (or Linen Texture) Linen lamination replicates the subtle weave pattern of fabric—specifically linen—right onto the surface of the label or packaging. This texture is visible and palpable, giving a tactile sophistication that is often associated with quality craftsmanship. **Characteristics of Linen Lamination:** - Offers a subtle, fabric-like weave texture. - Provides a non-glossy, elegant finish. - Adds a tactile dimension without overpowering the visual design. - Works well for brands seeking a natural, artisanal, or vintage aesthetic. Linen lamination is frequently used on wine labels, luxury stationery, and boutique product packaging to convey heritage, authenticity, and tactile luxury. --- ## Specialty Laminations: Eye-Catching Effects Beyond the Basics Beyond tactile options, specialty laminations include finishes that create dynamic visual effects, often combining texture with optical illusions or metallic accents. These laminations can add sparkle, shimmer, or even 3D-like depth to labels and packaging without the need for additional processes like hot stamping. ### Holographic Lamination Holographic lamination introduces a prismatic, rainbow-like effect that shifts color and light based on viewing angle. It’s a captivating finish that immediately draws attention, making products stand out on crowded shelves. **How Holographic Lamination Works:** - The lamination film is embedded with microstructures that diffract light. - When light hits the surface, it splits into various colors, creating a shifting rainbow pattern. - The effect can range from subtle shimmer to bold, vibrant holographic displays. Holographic finishes are often seen on premium spirits, confectionery, and high-end cosmetics, especially when brands want to evoke a sense of modernity, excitement, or futurism. ### Linen-Like Specialty Lamination Some specialty laminations combine the tactile appeal of linen with subtle visual enhancements. For example, a linen texture with a slight shimmer or gloss overlay can give a label the tactile feel of fabric along with a luminous finish. This type of lamination can: - Enhance the sense of depth and texture visually. - Create a contrast between matte fabric texture and reflective highlights. - Provide a unique surface that is both soft and eye-catching. --- ## Other Special Lamination Options The innovation in lamination technology doesn’t stop with soft touch and holographic finishes. Here are some other noteworthy specialty laminations that brands sometimes explore: ### Velvet Lamination Similar to soft touch, velvet lamination offers a plush, textile-like surface but tends to feel slightly richer and thicker. It mimics the sensation of real velvet fabric and is often used on luxury packaging and book covers. ### Embossed or Debossed Lamination While embossing or debossing is technically a printing/finishing technique rather than lamination, it is often combined with laminations to enhance tactile appeal. Raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) patterns can be applied under or over a lamination layer to add texture and dimension. ### Matte Glitter Lamination Matte glitter laminations introduce a subtle sparkle with a matte finish, which can be appealing for seasonal or limited-edition products that want understated glitz without the shine of gloss. ### Metallic or Foil-Like Lamination Metallic laminations provide a reflective metallic sheen across the entire surface, creating a luxurious, high-impact effect without hot stamping. It looks like an all-over foil finish but is applied as a lamination film. --- ## Why Choose Specialty Laminations? Using specialty laminations on labels and packaging offers several advantages: - **Brand Differentiation:** Unique finishes help products stand out visually and tactilely, catching the eye and enticing consumers. - **Enhanced Consumer Experience:** Tactile laminations invite interaction and engagement, fostering stronger brand connections. - **Protection:** Beyond aesthetics, lamination protects against moisture, scuffing, and fading, prolonging shelf life. - **Cost-Effective Special Effects:** Specialty laminations can achieve eye-catching effects without the setup costs of hot stamping plates or spot varnish plates, making them appealing for small to medium runs or seasonal packaging. --- ## Important Considerations When Selecting Special Laminations ### Compatibility with Printing Methods Not all laminations are suitable for every printing process or substrate. For example, some specialty laminations may require specific adhesives or surface treatments to adhere properly. Consulting with your label printer or packaging specialist ensures optimal results. ### Impact on Label Flexibility and Adhesion Certain specialty films, especially thicker tactile or holographic laminations, can affect how the label conforms to curved or irregular surfaces and how well adhesives perform. It’s essential to test prototypes before final production. ### Environmental Impact and Sustainability As sustainability becomes increasingly important, consider laminations that are recyclable or biodegradable. Some specialty films may pose challenges in recycling streams, so check with your supplier about eco-friendly options. --- ## How to Access Specialty Laminations While many printers and converters stock the standard gloss and matte laminations, specialty laminations like soft touch, linen, and holographic are often sourced on demand. This is because: - Specialty films are typically more expensive and less frequently used. - They often come in minimum order quantities. - Custom colors, patterns, or effects may require lead time for procurement. If you’re interested in adding a unique lamination finish to your labels or packaging but don’t want the expense or commitment of creating hot stamping or spot varnish plates, specialty laminations can be a fantastic alternative. We can work with suppliers to track down the right specialty film for your project to help you achieve the look and feel you want. --- ## Potential Drawbacks of Specialty Laminations While specialty laminations offer exciting opportunities to enhance your labels or packaging, they do come with a few considerations. One of the primary drawbacks is **limited availability**—many of these unique films, such as soft touch, linen, or holographic, are not commonly stocked and may require special ordering. This can lead to **longer lead times**, **higher minimum order quantities**, and **increased material costs** compared to standard gloss or matte laminations. Additionally, some specialty films may be more difficult to apply or may not be compatible with all substrates or label shapes, especially those involving tight curves or flexible surfaces. It’s important to weigh these factors early in the planning process and discuss options with your print partner to ensure your project timeline and budget remain on track. --- ## Summary: Laminations as a Creative Branding Tool Lamination is far more than a protective cover; it’s a creative element that influences how consumers perceive and interact with your product. Tactile laminations like soft touch and linen bring the gift of touch to branding, making packaging inviting and memorable. Specialty laminations like holographic and velvet add visual intrigue and luxury without the complexity or cost of traditional finishing methods. When exploring your options, think beyond matte and gloss. Whether you want the velvety caress of soft touch, the fabric-inspired weave of linen, the dynamic sparkle of holographics, or another specialty finish, lamination can elevate your brand in subtle or spectacular ways. If you have an idea for a special lamination effect, reach out. We’re happy to help source and apply specialty laminations that make your packaging uniquely yours—without the need for expensive plates or complex setups. Together, we can create a label experience that stands out on shelves and stays memorable in customers’ hands. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Printed Borders on Labels: A Design Risk Worth Rethinking](https://columbinelabel.com/printed-borders-on-labels-a-design-risk-worth-rethinking/) **Published:** May 19, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In the world of product packaging, where first impressions often determine whether a consumer reaches for your product or passes it by, label design is an essential part of your brand’s visual identity. Color, typography, shape, material—all these choices play a role. But one design element frequently chosen for its aesthetic appeal can also become a technical challenge: **printed borders**. Though seemingly harmless, borders are often the first thing to “go wrong” in the label printing and finishing process—not because of poor craftsmanship, but due to the unavoidable physical tolerances that come with die cutting and registration. A crisp border may look fantastic on a computer screen, but once that label is printed and die-cut at high speeds, small shifts can turn a clean design into something that looks *off*, *crooked*, or *cheap*. In this article, we’ll break down: - Why printed borders are a technical challenge - The role of die-cutting tolerances - How the human eye interprets alignment - Real-world consequences for brand perception - Design alternatives that avoid the pitfalls of borders --- ## Why Printed Borders Create Problems in Label Printing Borders are often used to create structure in a design. They can frame logos or product names, define spaces, or add visual sophistication. But they also demand **precise alignment**, and that’s where the trouble begins. Let’s take a common scenario: a rectangular label with a black border running 1/8″ inside the edge. If that border is even slightly misaligned—off by even a fraction of a millimeter—it becomes instantly noticeable. The top border might look thicker than the bottom, or the left side thinner than the right. Suddenly, what was meant to create structure now makes the label look poorly printed or even off-center, despite all mechanical processes being within acceptable limits. This issue is not usually caused by poor printing or bad cutting. It’s caused by a reality that every experienced printer knows well: [**mechanical tolerance**](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-die-cutting-tolerances-in-product-label-printing/). --- ## Understanding Die-Cutting Tolerances Every mechanical process has a tolerance—a range within which results may vary, even when everything is functioning properly. In label printing and die cutting, this tolerance is typically **±0.0625 inches**, depending on the equipment, material, and complexity of the job. That means your label’s cut can shift up to 1/16th of an inch in any direction and still be considered within spec. To most industries, this is incredibly precise. But when you have a label with a border that’s only 1/16″ thick, that same shift is enough to make one side of the border appear *twice as thick* as the other. Even worse, most die-cutting is done in high-speed environments. Labels are produced in the tens or hundreds of thousands per hour, and even slight environmental changes—temperature, humidity, material tension—can affect registration. In this context, a border becomes a visual microscope, exaggerating the perception of misalignment. --- ## The Human Eye and the Illusion of Misalignment Part of the problem isn’t just mechanical—it’s psychological. The human visual system is incredibly sensitive to asymmetry, especially in geometric shapes. This evolutionary quirk once helped us detect predators in the brush; today, it makes us acutely aware when a product label looks just a little “off.” We may not be able to say *why* it looks off—we just know something isn’t right. This perceptual sensitivity means that: - A centered logo that’s 0.01″ off still appears fine. - But a border that’s off by the same amount looks dramatically wrong. Our brains use borders as reference points. When a border isn’t symmetrical, we interpret it as a mistake—even if the rest of the label is perfectly aligned. This sensitivity is why printed borders aren’t just a minor risk—they can trigger disproportionate dissatisfaction in both brand owners and consumers. --- ## Customer Perception and Brand Consequences When a label has visible inconsistencies—like a lopsided border—it’s not just a printing issue. It becomes a **brand issue**. Consumers may see: - A crooked border and assume poor quality control - Inconsistency across products and perceive lower brand value - Off-center packaging and infer the product inside is unreliable None of this may be true. But perception is reality in branding, and packaging mistakes—even when technically minor—can erode trust. Worse yet, label buyers may receive a large run of product, see the border issue, and assume it’s a production defect, initiating returns or reprints that cost everyone time and money. --- ## Designer Expectations vs. Production Realities Graphic designers often create labels in digital environments where precision is absolute. A rectangle drawn in Adobe Illustrator is perfect; the border is always exactly where it’s supposed to be. Unfortunately, that perfection doesn’t translate to the physical world of flexographic or digital printing. This disconnect can lead to friction between designers and production teams. Designers may feel their work is being compromised, while printers know that trying to “fix” the issue often leads to more trouble. Re-cutting a job to make a border appear centered often creates new registration issues elsewhere on the label. That’s why it’s so important to bridge this gap during the design process—not after the job hits the press. --- ## What Are the Alternatives to Printed Borders? ![Example of a bleed used in a label border](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Label-Border-Bleed-Example.jpg) Luckily, there are several design strategies that retain visual sophistication without the technical headaches of printed borders. ### 1. **Bleeds Instead of Borders** Instead of using an interior border, consider extending your design elements all the way to the edge of the label—a technique called a **bleed**. This ensures that even if the die cuts are slightly off, there’s no hard edge to visually compare the cut against. The result looks cleaner and more consistent. ### 2. **Move the Border in![Moved in label border](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Label-Border-Example-700-x-271-px.jpg)** Borders that are closer to the edge of the label will have more of an illusion of misalignment than borders that are further away from the edge. Often this minor design change can make a world of difference when looking at your final product. ### 3. **Use Soft, Gradient Edges** Borders tend to be harsh and geometric, which draws the eye. But **soft transitions** or **gradient fades** at the edge of the label can still create a framing effect without the same alignment sensitivity. A gradient fading into the background color of your container will disguise minor shifts. ### 4. **Go Borderless** Designs that don’t rely on borders at all—especially minimal, modern aesthetics—are much more forgiving in production. Clean typography, negative space, and strong color contrast can create a compelling design without needing edge-framing at all. ![Asymmetric label boarder](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Label-Border-Example.png) ### 5. **Use Asymmetrical Design Intentionally** If your product or brand allows for a more modern or playful approach, **intentional asymmetry** can help sidestep the issue. When a label design is not built around symmetry, the consumer doesn’t expect everything to align perfectly—so slight variations are less jarring. ### 6. **Incorporate Structural Borders Instead of Printed Ones** If your product allows it, use the **shape of the label itself** as a kind of border. Custom die shapes or label cuts can create visual framing through physical contours, rather than inked lines. These are still subject to the same cutting tolerances, but because they’re structural, they don’t create a visual “frame” the same way a printed line does. --- ## When You *Must* Use a Border Sometimes, a border is necessary. It might be a required part of a brand’s visual identity, or the label needs to match an older version that already includes one. In these cases, there are still a few best practices that can mitigate the risks: - **Use wider borders**: A border that’s 1/4″ thick is much more forgiving than one that’s 1/16″. The thicker the border, the less perceptible a 0.015″ shift becomes. - **Create border illusions**: Use patterns, shadows, or interior spacing techniques to simulate a border without relying on a harsh line. - **Discuss tolerances with your label printer early**: If you’re working with Columbine Label, we’ll help you understand exactly what’s possible with your material, shape, and production method before you go to press. - **Ask for a press proof**: This can help you evaluate whether the visual impact of a border misalignment is acceptable before the full run begins. --- ## The Takeaway: Function Over Formality In label design, the clean geometry of a border can be tempting. It looks sharp, professional, and helps organize information. But when applied to a product label, it often causes more problems than it solves. Borders don’t just expose cutting tolerances—they exaggerate them, turning what would otherwise be acceptable variations into glaring visual defects. As a label converter, we see this play out time and time again. A designer creates a beautiful label with a narrow border. The press run is produced exactly within tolerance. Yet the final result doesn’t meet expectations because the eye interprets minor shifts as major flaws. This is why **we always recommend caution when incorporating borders into your label design.** There are smarter ways to frame your content without creating a risk to your brand’s visual consistency. --- ## How Columbine Label Can Help At [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/), we understand the balance between design and production.

That unvarying red has remained a color consistent with the Coca-Cola brand since Frank Robinson, the bookkeeper, and partner of its inventor, Dr. John Pemberton, developed the name, script logo, and color choice in 1886. It just goes to show that 135 years later, color still matters. And color consistency is equally important when it comes to product labels and packaging. Consumers are trained to associate a certain look with a brand. Any deviation can erode that brand recognition—and loyalty. Coca-Cola didn’t become the behemoth brand that it is today by allowing its legendary red to shift over time. But achieving that repeatable consistency can be elusive. ## **The color problem(s)** Let’s say you print an initial set of product labels, and the color “looks” great. But with the next run, the color is a half-shade off, barely noticeable. Then let’s say you keep running reprints, but each time the color is off just a bit. By the tenth run, if you place a product with the first run label side-by-side with a product featuring a label from the last print run, it becomes obvious the color has shifted dramatically. This can affect consumer perception and buying behavior. The newer product might look older or inferior because the color is off. This color drift dilemma is the number one problem in the printing industry. ## **The color consistency solution(s)** Fortunately, there are a number of steps purveyors of consumer-packaged goods can take in partnership with their custom label printing company to ensure that the brand’s color remains true and consistent from run to run. 1. 1. ### **Start with the proper design.** Labels designed using [RGB colors](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-stop-your-rgb-file-from-being-doa-at-the-printer-2/) look bright and vibrant on a computer monitor or other digital device. But they won’t—and can’t—be reproduced that way on a print press that uses CMYK inks. Label designs should be built with CMYK color layers, or 6-color CMYKOV if you’re trying to achieve a specific [PMS color gamut](https://www.techkonusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Techkon-Expanded-Gamut-Whitepaper-Final.pdf). 2. ### **Make print-friendly color choices.** Light background colors such as tan or beige can be challenging to match and hold in a CMYK color build. PMS greens and purples also prove tricky to match in CMYK. And those bar codes? Use black ink only, not a CMYK build which can interfere with proper scanning. 1. ### **Consider the label material.** If you choose a silver or clear substrate, add a layer of white under the color build to create greater opacity and ensure that the colors pop. 2. ### **Provide your printer with a sample.** If you have previously printed your labels, provide your label print provider with a sample so they have a reference to match against. 3. ### **Look to your printer’s expertise.** A reputable custom product label printer will keep a record of every print run, including the print specs and color profile for a specific press. This is used as the consistent starting point for each run to prevent the dreaded color drift and ensure that every run matches the first one. [![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Label-Color-Consistency-300x235.png)](https://comgraphx.com/blog/rgb-vs-cmyk/) 4. ### **Follow the reliable color science.** While color perception is admittedly subjective, color can indeed be measured by an instrument called a spectrophotometer. Colors are measured in much the same way GPS addresses are used: every color has specific coordinates. It’s nearly impossible to exactly duplicate color every time, but these coordinates measure an acceptable objective range. The use of a spectrophotometer during the print process enables press operators to aim for the smallest possible color shift the human eye can detect and develop a consistently repeatable standard. 5. ### **Stick with one print provider, if possible.** Different printers operate different presses, color profiles, and prepress operators. Labels that one printer produces will most likely not match that of another print provider. If color consistency is a top priority, a single custom label printer is one of the surest ways to lock it on. Additional color QC measures don’t end there. Every person at a print shop that touches a label—from prepress and press operators to die-cutting, rewinding, shipping, and even invoicing—has the ability and the responsibility to accept or reject a job if the colors don’t meet the highest of standards. **Ask the experts** “Color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment,” Claude Monet once said. We couldn’t agree more. Columbine Label Company is dedicated to helping you take the guesswork out of color matching and color consistency for your custom product labels.

The earthy tone of the paper provides the “green” look, while the hemp fibers provide a random speckle appearance. The construction of a hemp label is a 60# paper made from 30% hemp fiber with 5% of the hemp fiber unbleached for appearance. Renewable Hemp contains [Wet Strength Alkali (WSA) properties](https://www.paperspecs.com/glossary/wet-strength-papers/). Wet strength is suitable for labeling returnable bottles because the paper stays intact during bottle washing, safeguarding machinery from obstruction. Columbine Label sources our hemp and other paper label materials from manufacturers that have [FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification](https://us.fsc.org/en-us/certification). This certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. The FSC Principles and Criteria provide a foundation for all forest management standards globally, including the FSC US National Standard (v1.0) that guides forest management certification in the U.S. Columbine Label sources FSC material and can provide the chain of custody documentation through material vendors. ### **Renewable Hemp Material Adhesive Properties** Renewable Hemp material with semi-removable properties allows the label to be removable and/or repositionable within 30 minutes of application. The adhesive is fully permanent after three hours. The adhesive is resistant to water and ice bucket immersion which makes this product ideal for labeling wine bottles and spirits, while its outward appearance and quality make it ideal for labeling natural products. (Ice bucket immersion testing is a performance indicator that tests labeled bottles that are immersed in water and/or ice bath for a specified amount of time, however, there is an absence of a standard industry protocol for ice bucket testing, and label products should be tested for specific performance requirements.) ### **Differentiate Your Products with Renewable Hemp Label Material** With so many products fighting for consumer attention, it is more important than ever to differentiate your products from your competition! If your brand is serious about reducing plastic waste or showing your commitment to a natural product both inside and out, you can show that to your customer by using a natural hemp label material. Both price and shelf appeal matter, but with specially designed renewable hemp material, it doesn’t have to be a tradeoff. Renewable Hemp label material can be printed digitally, with no additional printing plates or setup, which translates to a lower price tag! For additional color enhancements, use white ink in your [art file](https://columbinelabel.com/print-ready-art/). **Learn more about Renewable Hemp Labels to leverage your brand by [requesting a quote](https://columbinelabel.com/get-quote-custom-labels/).

Label designs should be clean and clear to quickly convey to shoppers what your product is and who you are. Minimalism, white space, and easy-to-read fonts are [trending](https://www.eventige.com/blog/trending-ecommerce-packaging-design) for that very reason. Color and innovation also attract buying eyes. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Over-Yonder-Brewing.jpg) **2. Use professional photos** Once you’ve invested in the right packaging and eye-catching label designs, do your product(s) justice with photos taken professionally. Professional photos provide the right lighting, camera angles, color, and quality resolution you need to showcase your products online. It can pay off, too. Research shows that 47 percent of online consumers in the U.S. rate high-quality product photos as the most influential factor when considering a purchase from a specific brand. And if you can help it, don’t stop at just one photo. This research further reveals that half of U.S. online shoppers prefer to see at least three to five photos (front, back, side) before buying. Depending on your product, market, or industry, you can present your product(s) in photos in one of two ways: product-only and in-context. **Product-only photos** are just that. They feature your product on a simple, usually white, background. Here, your product label is truly the star and salesman. This style works well on web product pages and is known to generate a significantly higher rate of conversion. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Ethans.jpg) **In-context photos** show your product in use or in an interesting setting. This photo style is ideal for conveying your brand lifestyle and telling your brand story. In-context photos that feature your product can help create an emotional connection with customers, vital to converting browsers to buyers. These can be used in conjunction with product-only for visual variety and enhanced storytelling. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Rocker-Spirits-3.png.jpg) **3. Build out your brand** Your products online are a direct extension of your brand. Build on your brand by being consistent. Use the same logo, color palette, graphics, and messaging in all marketing assets across all channels. This makes it easier for shoppers and potential buyers instantly recognize your product when searching online. **Bottom line: leverage your label** Whether consumers are eyeing your product online or in-store, your label is still your best brand ambassador.

As a powerful path to purchase, labels speak to consumers, whether they’re shopping online or in person. Research shows that almost 70 percent of retail purchases are made on impulse with product selections made in less than [eight seconds](https://traxretail.com/blog/eye-level-buy-level-importance-store-product-placement/). So it is imperative that your package label tells a story that captures your brand and compels buyers to pick you over the oodles of options available. To succeed, your product label needs to excel in three critical functions: 1. Provide information 2. Convey your image 3. Attract customers Here’s how to maximize your success with each task… **Put your label to work for you** Labels communicate your brand name, product name and key benefits. Safety and tracking information are also key components of a label. But today’s consumers are label savvy. They also look to labels to determine if the product meets their standards, beliefs and concerns for aspects like high-quality, healthy, or eco-friendly ingredients. A [Food Marketing Institute study](https://www.fooddive.com/news/how-food-labels-help-consumers-eat-healthier/546142/) shows that 75 percent of consumers will choose a brand that provides more in-depth product information. Labels give you a chance to hit their hot buttons. ***Ask yourself:* *Does my label clearly provide:*** *…ingredients listings?* *…nutrition and health claims, if applicable?* *…manufacturing or packaging origin?* Be careful not to crowd your label with too much, or less important, information like sustainability logos, seals and stamps. Consider this revelation from a recent [packaging study](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/consumers-dont-notice-on-pack-sustainable-messaging-study-finds-more-education-needed-around-sustainability-claims-300635487.html): 40 percent of shoppers claimed that sustainability influenced their purchases, yet 92 percent didn’t notice sustainability logos on food packaging. **Turn your label into your best brand ambassador** Everything about packaging says something about you. The colors, the graphics, even the size and shape work together to tell your customer who you are. Together, they convey your brand. Branding as we know it today has been around since the 19th century with the advent of packaged goods and can be tied to, believe it or not, illiteracy: During the Industrial Revolution, the production of many household items, such as soap, was moved from local communities to centralized factories to be mass-produced and sold to the wider market. Illiteracy was still prevalent and packing crates were handled by stevedores who couldn’t read. Factories branded their logo or insignia on the barrels used and the logo of the companies to which the cargo was being shipped. This allowed the products to be delivered to the proper location. ***Ask yourself:*** • *What is our brand story?* • *What image do we want to convey? Are we retro? Modern? Eco-aware? Fun? Bold?* • *Who is our customer? What appeals to them?* Your answers will inform how you approach your packaging and label design. Keep asking these questions. You might find your answers will evolve over time. And that’s okay. Keep reading to determine when it’s time for a label redesign. **Use your label to attract customers** Consumers are visual. They buy with their eyes. Colors and graphics draw in customers in mere seconds which makes effective label design crucial to success. It is particularly important for online sales where consumers don’t have an opportunity to see, feel, hold or even smell your product in person. Start your label (re)design process by establishing who you are and want to be, and who your customer is. Then choose design elements that will have the greatest appeal. ***Ask yourself, what* *design trends* *might work?*** – *Retro-futurism?* Bright, neon colors, minimalist logos, retro typography – *Gradients and blurs?* For a cool and edgy persona – *Maximalism?* Heavy, opulent, detailed graphic elements – *Earthy and pastel palette?* Capturing the feel of natural and organic products – *Holographic or iridescent?* Edgy, but fun and youthful – *Transparent?* Ideal for products that have a distinct color **When to change your label design** “New packaging, same great product!” You see it on product labels every day. Brands are constantly redesigning their product packaging and labels. The reasons are varied: – New product formulation – Promote new product benefit(s) – A change in packaging size or shape – Rebranding – Stand out from competition with similar packaging Hitting the refresh button on your label design can do wonders for sales. Sometimes it’s as strategic as using a previous design. Faced with slumping sales a few years ago, MillerCoors’ started selling Miller Lite in the retro can design as part of a campaign to promote its original low calorie brew. [Sales increased](http://www.brandindex.com/article/miller-lites-original-cans-cause-stir) nearly 5 percent in a matter of months – without changing the product, simply the can. **Now ask yourself…** *– Are my labels working as hard as they should be?* *– Do they tell the right brand story?* *– Are they attracting customers, online and in store?* Then let your answers be your guide to your label designs and decisions. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Colorado Employer Earns Pinnacle's Circle of Safety Award](https://columbinelabel.com/colorado-employer-earns-pinnacols-circle-of-safety-award/) **Published:** February 28, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ### We did it again! For the third consecutive year, Columbine Label has achieved a Pinnacol Circle of Safety Award for our high standard and commitment to safety, risk control, claims management, and financial management. In all, the 29 award winners account for less than 1% of Pinnacol Assurance’s 57,000 Colorado policyholders. And of the 29 winners, only 12 received a GOLD award! *The winner meets a high bar for workplace safety and risk management* **Centennial, Colorado, Feb. 28, 2019 –** Pinnacol Assurance, Colorado’s leading workers’ compensation insurer, is honoring Columbine Label Company with its 2018 Circle of Safety Award. Just 29 Colorado employers earned the award for their exemplary performance in safety, risk control, and financial and claims management. This is the 3rd year Columbine Label has received the award. “This year’s Circle of Safety winners recognize that workplace safety is about much more than checking some boxes,” said Phil Kalin, Pinnacol’s president, and CEO. “These employers are creating a safety culture that permeates everything they do, and the result is a healthier, more productive workforce.” Pinnacol created the Circle of Safety Award with the understanding that exceptional risk management is the result of a circle of many people working together. From top management and frontline employees to Pinnacol representatives and the policyholders’ agents, everyone plays a role in making Colorado workplaces safer. Columbine Labels’ safety program is designed around its safety culture with employee involvement, and full participation being a requirement. In keeping Safety top of mind, Columbine has monthly safety meetings where it provides lunch, for the whole company, to review the safety topics of the month. They try to make it fun and enjoyable by playing games and making sure the topics remain relevant. It’s not unordinary for the owner to toss out a reward (usually a gift card) to an employee with a stellar answer to a safety question, or for bringing up a new safety-related concern. “Safety in the workplace is vital in sustaining a successful print production operation. Safety culture is the number one priority for every employee working for Columbine Label. Overall else, it is more important that everyone goes home in the same condition they arrived at work”, says owner Greg Jackson.

Digital print technology is rapidly taking over the market, despite currently representing a small portion of the overall label market. This shift is spurred by the need for high-quality, personalized labels with quick turnaround times, which digital printing excels at providing. ## **Evolving Demands and Trends** Traditional label production technologies such as flexography involve complex inline conversion processes with various finishing steps such as coating (lamination or varnish), die cutting, slitting, and waste removal. As the industry integrates digital printing capabilities, these functions remain critical but may require adaptation and additional offline processes to suit the new technology. The need for flexibility and automation is paramount, with modern label converting processes incorporating functions like varnishing, lamination, die cutting, slitting, matrix removal, foil stamping, embossing, spot varnishing, rewinding, and sheeting. Digital printing offers several advantages, including fast setup, reduced waste, and the ability to produce shorter runs economically. This technology also supports on-demand and just-in-time printing, meeting the changing consumer preferences for localized, personalized products. As job sizes decrease and the demand for intricate designs and embellishments increases, label converters are investing in sophisticated digital finishing equipment. Advancements in label technology are only the beginning of the [trends sweeping the market in the label industry](https://columbinelabel.com/label-industry-trends-2024/). Sustainability, branding and story telling, coupled with lean manufacturing processes are driving the industry. ### **Continued Development and Innovation** The digital printing landscape is continuously evolving, with advancements in high-speed inkjet technology and laser finishing systems making digital solutions more affordable and efficient. Innovations in digital embellishments, such as hot and cold foiling, laser cutting, and UV varnishing, allow label printers to create visually stunning and unique labels that stand out on the shelves. As digital printing technology advances, it is expected to displace older printing methods, further driving the adoption of digital solutions in the label industry. ## **Columbine Label: Combining Digital and Flexographic Printing** At Columbine Label, we understand the importance of embracing both traditional and modern printing technologies to meet our customers’ diverse needs. As a narrow web label printer based in Denver, CO, we specialize in Digital and Flexographic printing techniques, creating beautiful custom labels that cater to various industries. ### **Digital Printing: Precision and Versatility** ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Indigo-6K-Digital-Press.avif) Digital printing is the premier modern method for product label printing that utilizes digital technology to transfer files directly to the printer, which then applies ink or toner onto various substrates.

The label serves as the face of a brand, communicating crucial information and making a lasting impression on consumers. In this blog, we explore the importance of label quality for both brand image and customer satisfaction. Additionally, we discuss the techniques used in digital and flexographic printing to achieve impeccable label quality, including the role of proofs and color measurement. ## **![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Honeyville.png)Building Brand Image** [Product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) play a vital role in shaping a brand’s image. A high-quality label reflects professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. It creates a sense of trust and reliability, distinguishing the brand from its competitors. Consumers are more likely to perceive a product positively if it is presented with a well-designed, well-printed label. Quality labels help establish brand recognition, reinforce brand values, and elevate the overall perception of the product and company. ## **Enhancing Customer Experience** Label quality directly impacts the customer experience. A clear, legible label with accurate information ensures that consumers can make informed decisions about the product. A visually appealing and well-printed label creates an emotional connection, capturing attention and evoking interest. Moreover, a label that withstands the rigors of handling and transportation, remaining intact and readable, enhances customer satisfaction. When customers receive products with labels of superior quality, it instills confidence in the overall quality of the brand, reinforcing their loyalty to the brand. ## **Achieving Quality in Digital Printing![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ColorConsistency-blogpic.jpg)** Digital printing offers several advantages in achieving high-quality product labels. It enables precise control over color reproduction, ensuring consistent and vibrant hues. [Digital printing](https://columbinelabel.com/digital-printing/) technology allows for flexibility in customization, accommodating variations in label designs, and personalization. Proofs are crucial in this process, serving as visual references to verify color accuracy. Delta E, a color measurement metric, is often used to evaluate color deviations. It measures the difference between the intended and printed colors, with an acceptable delta E typically falling within 3 – 6 as measured by a spectrophotometer. ## **Attaining Quality in Flexo Printing** Flexo printing, a popular method for label production, also emphasizes label quality. Flexographic presses utilize photopolymer plates to transfer ink onto the labels. Achieving consistent color reproduction requires meticulous plate preparation, including accurate plate exposure and proper plate-to-substrate alignment. Proofs play a vital role in ensuring color accuracy in flexo printing as well. Similarly to digital printing, color measurement devices are employed to assess delta E values and guarantee the printed colors align with the desired specifications. [Flexo printing](https://columbinelabel.com/flexographic-printing/)‘s attention to detail and precision contribute to high-quality labels that meet industry standards. Product label quality is of utmost importance for brand image and customer satisfaction. Whether through digital or flexo printing, brands strive to achieve consistent, vibrant, and accurate labels. Proofs and color measurement, utilizing acceptable delta E values, act as critical tools in ensuring label quality, reinforcing brand integrity, and delivering an exceptional customer experience. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [DIY or Don't, Should you Print your own Product Labels?](https://columbinelabel.com/diy-or-dont-should-you-print-your-own-labels/) **Published:** March 17, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **DIY or Don’t, Should you Print your own Product Labels?** In today’s world of DIY projects, start-ups, and home-based businesses, it’s tempting to think that you can save money by printing your own product labels. While it may seem like a good idea in theory, the reality is that DIY product labels often fall short when compared to professionally printed product labels. ### **Quality Concerns** One of the main reasons why DIY product labels fall short is that they lack the quality and consistency that come with professional printing. When you print your own labels, you’re limited by the quality of your printer and the materials you have on hand. This can result in labels that are low resolution and blurry, poorly or unevenly cut, have smudged ink, and are generally inconsistent in color from one production run to another. In contrast, professionally printed product labels are printed on high-quality materials and with advanced printing technologies that produce crisp, clear, and consistent labels every time. ### **Shelf Appeal** Another disadvantage of DIY product labels is that they lack the professional look and feel that comes with professionally printed labels. In today’s competitive marketplace, it’s important to have product labels that look polished and visually appealing to potential customers. When a customer sees two products on the shelf, the quality of the label will signal to them the quality of the product inside the packaging. You know your product is a 10, why not display it like one? ### **Durability** Moreover, DIY product labels are often less durable than professionally printed labels. This is because DIY labels are typically printed on materials that aren’t designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. This is because they are typically not laminated or varnished, making them more vulnerable to environments like refrigerators, coolers, shipping containers, high moisture areas like bathrooms, and being frequently handled by customers. This can result in labels that peel, fade, or become damaged over time. In contrast, professionally printed labels are made with materials that are designed to withstand the elements, such as moisture, heat, and cold, ensuring that your product labels look great and stay intact for longer. ### **Comparative Advantage** When it comes to the comparative advantage of professionally printed product labels, it’s clear that they offer a number of benefits over DIY labels. By investing in professionally printed labels, you can ensure that your products stand out on store shelves, convey the right message to customers, and withstand the rigors of daily use. The best and highest use of your time as a product manufacturer is creating more of your product. When you choose to print labels instead, valuable time and energy is spent on labels rather than on your product. Why would you want to have fewer products and okay labels, when you could have more products and fantastic labels? While it may be tempting to cut corners and print your own product labels, the reality is that DIY labels are often not as good as professionally printed labels. By investing in professionally printed labels, you can take advantage of the quality, consistency, and durability that come with advanced printing technologies and high-quality materials. There comes a time for each manufacturer when both the real cost and the opportunity cost of giving in house resources to label printing is more than the cost to outsource. So why settle for DIY labels when you can have professionally printed labels that help your products shine? Honorable mention: Safety.

Product label mistakes can be costly both in time and in money. Check out these 6 common pitfalls and how to avoid them so that you get your labels right the first time and every time: ### 1. Wrong label size/shape; a painful product label mistake. Getting your label size wrong can result in labels that don’t adhere properly and form wrinkled edges or flagging, which leads to peeling, tearing, and ultimately, a negative impact on perceived quality and brand appeal. Label specs are based on the size of the actual label, NOT the size of the container. Similar volume containers come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. If you’re not sure what size label you need, provide a sample container for proper measurement and label fit. ### 2. Poor choice of material and adhesive. The substrate and adhesive you choose for your product labels are fundamental to label output and performance. You don’t want the label to fail during the labeling process or, worse yet, in your customer’s hands. For face material, you have two choices: paper or film. Each has distinct characteristics and pros and cons. With adhesives, there is a range of types and qualities to consider. Your choice should be based on factors such as the packaging material itself, the temperature at which the label will be applied to the packaging, and whether you want the label to be removable or repositionable. Your selection of adhesive and substrate should take into consideration the production, labeling, storage, and display, and usage environment of your product. A thorough understanding of your product’s lifecycle, and consultation with your printer, will help you avoid choosing the wrong materials. ### 3. Artwork issues. First, it’s important to know how many colors your artwork has because that will impact the cost. For example, if you request a quote for 2 colors but the artwork you provide is 4 colors, the pricing will change. Image quality is also extremely important. Artwork should be submitted as vector files and at least 300 dpi at actual size for crisp, quality output. And ALWAYS submit your artwork in CMYK color mode, [not RGB](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-stop-your-rgb-file-from-being-doa-at-the-printer-2/). This will help avoid [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) mistakes attributed to shifts in color and ensure the end result matches the colors you desire. ### 4. Not knowing your “wind direction.” If you’re working with a third-party co-packer for an automated label application, you must know your labels’ [wind direction](https://columbinelabel.com/what-is-unwind-direction-and-why-does-it-matter-for-custom-labels/). This refers to the visual orientation of your labels on the roll—horizontal, vertical, side-by-side, etc.—and how the roll will unwind during the label application process. The wrong copy position and unwind direction could wreak havoc on the production line, causing time delays and extra costs to reprint labels correctly. ### 5. It’s a rush job. Any time you’re in a hurry, you are prone to make mistakes. It’s important to leave sufficient time to prepare artwork properly (see pitfall #2), review and approve proofs, and get your order in the printer’s job queue. A good printer may be able to prioritize your job, but it’s best to plan properly to avoid your own production delays and missed product delivery commitments. ### 6. Not consulting your printer from the beginning. Perhaps the biggest product label mistake you can make is not involving your custom label company early on in your label decision-making process. Before taking your order, a good printing partner will want to know your brand, product, packaging, sales goals, budget, and deadlines so they can provide the best custom label for your needs. Engaging their expertise from the beginning can help you avoid errors and decisions that cost you time and money. ## Ask the experts As a businessperson, you don’t choose labels every day. But every day, [Columbine Label Company](https://columbinelabel.com/) is working with customers to make the best decisions for their product label needs, from label size and shape to adhesive, wind direction, and avoiding product label mistakes.

How do I determine my price and what will the market bear are two questions that every business must answer. So what goes into pricing – for a label company there are many elements that the general consumer might not know about how a quote is determined. And when a business finally reaches the threshold of moving from DIY labels for their product to professionally printed product labels you don’t want them to have “sticker shock” – Ba dum tss! If you have been trying to compare prices for your new [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/), you may have found it difficult to find, or uncommon for companies to provide instant or online quotes. Why is that? In this blog, we will discuss the elements of a custom product label quote. ## **Elements of a Custom Product Label Quote** ### **Material Use** #### **Substrate** At Columbine Label our digital presses use 13″ wide material. The presses cannot print to the edge of the material so the usable width of the label stock is 12.375″ (height on the [instant label quoter](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/)). The maximum label length is not determined by our material but instead determined by our die cutting which can cut a label up to a max of 17.7″ (width on the [instant label quoter](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/)). Each label must also be separated from the other labels by a minimum of 1/8″ (0.125″) on each side. So, the game is to fit as many labels as possible inside of those restrictions. The more labels that fit, the less material is wasted as scrap, and the more cost effective your labels become. Labels are not typically designed for how they are printed. They are designed for the container of your product. So, sometimes labels do not maximize their material use, but a good design team and pre press team should make suggestions so that you can maximize your labels and minimize your cost. The absolute maximum height of your custom product label to minimize your material use is 6.125″ (6&1/8″). Why? Referring to the first paragraph in this section, this is how the math works out. Label 1 height 6.125 + label 2 height 6.125 + the gap between the labels 0.125 = maximum print width 12.375″. So what do you do if you want a label that is say 6.25″ (6&1/4)? You have two options. 1. You can make the decision to make your label a height that is 1/8″ smaller, this is the most cost effective. Or 2. You can have a label that is 6.25″ in height, but because it is an inefficient height it can only be run 1 up instead of 2 up. This means to get the same number of total labels you will have to use almost double the length of material. This increases material use and time to print the labels. This efficiency/material use factor is a key driver is product label quotes. #### **Ink** Not only does the amount of material make a difference when determining your custom product label quote, but the ink cost is also something to take into consideration. Many digital presses print up to 7 colors, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, Black, Orange, Violet, and White. Using the first four on the list Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black is what is referred to as process printing. Process printing can accurately create colors for about 68% of the [Pantone Color Gamut](https://www.pantone.com/articles/color-fundamentals/understanding-different-color-spaces). If your design needs a color that is not covered in that 68%, printers will use what is called extended gamut printing and include the use of Orange and Violet inks. This addition covers about 98% of the color gamut. White ink is used on substrates (label materials) that are non white in what is called a [white layer](https://columbinelabel.com/white-layer/). So, why do the number of inks matter? Firstly, because there is a material cost associated with using more ink. Second, because of press speed. Labels printed using process printing print much faster than extended gamut. Additionally, white ink and associated drying times for white ink slow the press substantially, leading to a more expensive produce label quote. ### **Material Type** The options are (almost) limitless. Our instant quoter provides options for four material types and two different liners, but that doesn’t come close to all that we can offer. The vast majority of custom product labels are printed on BOPP (Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene (PP)). This is the most cost effective and readily available choice for a product label quote. Other materials include paper, wine stocks, other types of film, recycled papers and stocks. One of our label experts can help you determine what is right for your project. Need a specialty material – no problem, but it is certainly a factor when determining a custom product label quote. ### **Shape** The main factor in how shape impacts your custom product label quote is related to material use. Section 1 Material Use – Substrate outlines how that works. The other way that shape can impact the price of your label is through die charges. Labels are cut into their shape using a special tool called a die. A die is a flexible piece of metal tooled specifically to cut out the label shape, but not cut all the way through the liner. Dies can be unique to your label or come in more common sizes – such as beer labels. If your product labels are a special shape, unique to your brand and your product, you will likely have a one time die charge to purchase the special tool used for your shape. You will not incur a die charge on a second order of the same labels or labels that use the die you have purchased. You will also not incur a die charge if the die is already in our die catalog. Common sizes of squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, and more are already available for use and do not require a die charge. If your label requires a new die, you will either need to purchase that die, or in some cases there is a similarly sized die that could be used if you are open to slightly changing the size of your label. Our label experts can help you determine if that is a possibility for your project. ### **Quantity and Versions** How many labels do you want? 500, 5,000, 500,000 quantity of labels will impact your custom product label quote. We only quote work that is greater than 250 labels. We do this because it is inefficient for our machines to run quantities under this amount. Low quantities produce a lot of waste compared to the amount of finished labels. Similarly to buying in bulk, buying more labels will typically bring your price per label down. This is because the cost of setting up the press is spread out thinner and thinner to each label produced. Number of versions is also a factor. If you have three label versions – different art, but they are the same size, shape, and material, these labels can be printed together. This increases efficiency, which results in a better price. So, even if you only 100 labels of each product, the total can be counted as 300, if the conditions above are met. Ask our label experts if your labels can be combined for this combo pricing. ### **Special Processes** Specialty processes can also impact your custom product label quote. Hot Stamp also called Foil Stamp or Embossing are examples of popular embellishment options that require a specialty process. These two processes are popular particularly for wine and spirits companies, but for other products as well. There are several reasons for the expense associated with Hot Stamping and Embossing. 1. Special flat bed dies are required for the stamp. 2. Additional material in the form of the foil itself. 3. Hot Stamping and embossing are slow processes, it takes more time in die cut than an order without Hot Stamping or Embossing and based on the specifics of the job, it may require multiple passes through the die cutting equipment in order to achieve the desired look. If you are wondering if there are alternatives to Hot Stamp you are in luck! Our Blog post [Hot Stamp or Silver BOPP](https://columbinelabel.com/hot-stamping-or-silver-bopp/) describes an alternative to Hot Stamping. ### **Overhead and Profit** No business can remain in business without overhead and profit. What does overhead include? Overhead includes but is not limited to the following: accounting fees, advertising, insurance, interest, legal fees, labor burden (wages, taxes, workers comp, benefits), rent, equipment upkeep, repairs, office supplies, taxes, telephone bills, and utilities. Every business needs to cover these costs or they will cease to remain in business. Profit, yes I admit it, we are a for profit company (like all companies that are not a 501c3). What do we do with that profit! 1. We have a profit sharing incentive so all employees can participate in the growth of Columbine Label. 2. We invest it – in new equipment and new resources to grow the company. 3. We save it – in months where we did not profit we used previous profits to cover overhead and make sure everyone was paid. Profit has been made into a villain, but I assure you every business needs profit to grow and that profit margin is baked into your label quote. \*Blog is intended to inform the reader on label quote basics.

Unlike conventional pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves provide full-color, full-product coverage around a container, delivering a [360° top-to-bottom branding opportunity](https://www.labelandnarrowweb.com/issues/2021-09-01/view_features/shrink-sleeves-951308/). For this and other very good reasons, shrink sleeve labels continue to gain tremendous steam in the label industry, with the segment forecasted to grow at 8.3 percent for the next 10 years, according to Industry Research. ## **How are shrink sleeves different from adhesive labels?** [Shrink sleeves](https://columbinelabel.com/shrink-sleeves/) are reverse printed on a variety of film substrates, such as PE, PET-G, PVC, then adhered to the container with a heat shrinking method. No adhesive is used in the label application process. The wrap-around nature of shrink sleeves means that one label does it all, eliminating the need for additional labels on the back of the product or package. Intrigued? Here are **four more good reasons** to consider shrink sleeves for your product labels: 1. **Bolder branding** – Because shrink sleeves wrap around the entire product, they provide 360° of graphic real estate for companies to catch the consumer’s eye and provide vital product information. Whether printed on a digital or flexographic press, shrink sleeve labels reproduce beautifully maintaining the vibrance and detail of their intended design. In the health and beauty sector, bold, attention-getting packaging is especially important. 2. **Durable and tamper-evident** Shrink sleeve labels are durable and will hold up to scratching, tears, liquids, moisture, or dirt that may come into contact with the product. Brands also can incorporate tamper-evident and compliance features into the design, making it a very effective and efficient package solution. These are particularly attractive benefits for the CBD industry’s tincture and oil-based products. 3. **Better inventory management** Rather than printing and applying conventional pressure-sensitive labels to unfilled bottles or cans, then running the risk of obsolete graphics on your inventory, you can keep your unlabeled packaging on hand, then apply shrink sleeve labels as needed with your most current artwork. This is ideal for the craft beer brewers who are constantly introducing limited and seasonal releases 4. **Refresh and reuse package inventory** If you’re sitting on an inventory of outdated pre-printed containers, shrink sleeve labels provide the perfect cover. It’s a smart way to keep packaging costs down by re-using existing stock and giving it a boost with new graphics. Shrink sleeve labels might not be for everyone, but you’ll never know until you ask an expert printer experienced in this popular label trend, like you-know-who.

It is your first and foremost way to attract and motivate customers. Choosing the right label size and shape for your packaging is a key consideration in this effort. It also influences design, cost, and label application. Getting your label size wrong can result in [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) that don’t adhere properly and form wrinkled edges or flagging, which leads to peeling, tearing, and, ultimately, a negative impact on perceived quality and brand appeal. Here’s how to get it right. **1.** **Determine what goes on your label** Before you even begin a label design – or even your package size or shape – first consider what information will and must be included: logo/brand name, ingredients, net weight, directions, health or environmental benefits, warnings, barcode, etc. All this information must be clear, legible, and visually appealing when printed. If you choose an inadequate label size, the information will be compromised. Knowing all that needs to be conveyed will help you determine the best label size and will also influence your packaging size or shape selection. **2. Choose your package shape** There are countless shapes and sizes available for bottles, jars, and containers (not to mention materials) and there are no standard-size bottles. Also, many containers can have the same capacity but vary widely in shape and contour. This presents challenges, but also lots of opportunities to stand out and find a package design that best suits your product and brand image. There are three primary bottle or container shapes that offer different benefits and label size considerations: • **Round**: This is the most common container shape and offers the ability to completely wrap around your label for maximum information. When determining label size and space, be mindful of the truly flat surface of the bottle and any ridges (like a food jar) or the point where the shoulder or curve of the bottle begins (like a beer can). To avoid issues, it is recommended to reduce the label size to ¼” in width and 1/8” in height to keep the label well within the flat surface space and eliminate the need for the ends to line up exactly. If an overlapping effect is desired, add ¼” to the label width to ensure adequate overlap. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Harvest-Ridge-Winery-Pinot-Noir-150x150.jpg) • **Tapered**: This bottle shape changes in width from top to bottom – narrow at the top and gradually widening or vice versa (like a wine bottle). Some tapered containers are subtle and barely visible to the eye, others can taper in more than one direction. Applying rectangular labels to this shape can create performance issues such as wrinkles and bubbles since the labels cannot lie flat on the surface. The best label solutions for tapered bottles include a smaller label, curved label, or even a shrink sleeve that wraps completely and smoothly around the container ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/CM_Vertueux_VodkaWithShadow-372x1024-1-150x150.gif) • **Unusual shapes**. Bottles with unique shapes and contours provide enormous branding potential, but also present the most challenges, depending on how much surface area you want your label to cover. Like tapered bottles, shrink sleeve labels can be an ideal solution for labels on unusually shaped containers. **3. Measuring your container** Once you’ve selected a bottle shape and size, you will want to determine the surface space you have to work with to place a label on your container. Use a flexible measuring tape or paper ruler that will allow you to easily measure the surface contour(s). For round containers, wrap your measuring tool all the way around your container to find the width. To find the height, measure the flat surface only (from top curve to bottom curve). Measuring the surface area of tapered and unusual-shaped bottles is a bit more complex and requires a consultation with your print provider to determine the right label size and area. With initial estimates, you can mockup your label size and shape and tape it to your bottle to see how it looks. **4. Consult a print expert** Whether you’re introducing a new product or redesigning packaging for an existing product, it is always best to bring your print provider into the discussion early on. • Share your package choice(s) with them for feedback on production challenges and other design considerations. • Provide them with a physical sample of your bottle or container choice. • Discuss your label needs and design ideas to avoid print quality issues later. • Get an initial estimate to ensure your label vision fits your budget. The right size and shape for your label are out there. You just have to know what to look for. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Product label trends for 2021](https://columbinelabel.com/product-label-trends-for-2021/) **Published:** February 15, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** As the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world as we know it upside down in 2020, no one could predict the economic winners, losers, or opportunities that would rise above the rubble. With a 10-month rearview mirror now at our disposal, a clearer picture is emerging. Review product label trends and stay ahead of your competitors. ### Overarching market and consumer product label trends include: - **E-commerce growth** – as the pandemic and shutdown surged, consumers increasingly turned to online shopping. According to research by JP Morgan, by the fourth quarter of 2020, e-commerce accounted for 16.1 percent of all U.S. sales, an increase from 11.8 percent in the first quarter of the year. - **Sharp demand for specific product segments** – that same research, revealed astonishing increases in demand for household cleaning supplies, soaps, vitamins, supplements, and hair color. - **Wavering brand loyalty** – not only are consumers turning to online shopping, but they’re also shopping around for the best price or availability. In the first six months of the pandemic, 36 percent of consumers reportedly tried a new brand. **These three trends alone place an even greater burden on product labels to do the heavy lifting for today’s brands.** Fortunately, the label industry is well-positioned to respond, ironically, even more so because of the pandemic. “Many of the megatrends that we have witnessed in the label and packaging market over the last few years have been accelerated due to Covid-19,“ says Alon Schnitzer, Global flexible packaging market development with HP Indigo. “In fact, we believe it has catapulted the industry by 2-3 years ahead of where it would have been otherwise in terms of digital adoption.” ### Custom label printing trends to watch in 2021 Here’s a snapshot of key trends in [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) this year buoyed by emerging aesthetics, technology, and consumer preferences: 1. **Design for the times:** Brands are reinventing themselves via their label design, creating them to look less commercial and more like art to attract consumers in mere seconds online and in-store. Think intricate patterns, abstract illustrations, vintage design, bold geometrics, and prominent brand name, to name a few ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-01.png)![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-oogies-01.png) 2. **Textured enticement:** For a more impactful in-store experience, brands are appealing to consumers’ sense of touch. Research has shown that when a shopper faces an overcrowded visual array of products, the tactile experience has a greater influence on their product selection. Embossed labels convey a premium image and create a perceived value that attracts discerning consumers. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cl-label-blogimage-tipsys-01.png) 3. **Safety first:** Pandemic restrictions in 2020 created a boon in [food sales](https://www.packagingstrategies.com/articles/95837-food-label-trends-deliver-safety-and-security-for-2021): grocery sales went up 15-20 percent, and grocery and restaurant delivery rose 75 percent. With that rise in demand comes an increasing need for labels that ensure consumer safety. Tamper-proof labels are a highly visible way for grocers, restaurants, and food delivery services to convey proper food handling, from prep to delivery. 4. **Technology tools:** Label technologies once reserved for specialty or higher-end products are working their way into everyday products. For example, Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a proven workhorse to deliver greater visibility and immediate insights into inventory. On a lower cost scale in the food space, data-rich QR codes on product labels similarly help brands track, manage and trace product inventory and shipping, which can prove critical in responding to food supply and system issues. NFC (Near-Field-Communication) is the trending technology that enables touchless access to information from a printed label to the user, whether it’s the consumer, vendor, or marketer. With the pandemic-induced heightened hygienic awareness and ubiquitous use of smartphones, this technology will grow exponentially across many product categories. 5. **Sustained sustainability:** The demand for sustainable and eco-friendly labels will continue trending strongly in the product label industry. There is a wide range of label materials on the market today that enable brands to make good on their eco-friendly commitments. These include thinner films that require less water and energy to produce, better-engineered adhesives that help maximize the post-consumer recyclability of plastic products. Additionally, there are countless recycled label materials to choose from. Many are made from surprising sources, such as cotton, grapes, marble mining waste, and more. ### A word of caution Trends can be all talk and no action.

It’s a scenario all too real for manufacturers of consumer packaged goods whose product contains liquids or comes into contact with water or other moisture-based conditions during storage or use, such as water bottles and other beverage containers or health and beauty products. When a label fails, the damage is done – not only to the product but also to the brand’s image and the customer’s perception. Additionally, vital information on a label could be compromised if the label begins to peel or falls off completely. The best protection is a custom label that is waterproof or water-resistant. But which one is the right one to use? ## Waterproof Labels Labels designated “waterproof” means they are fully protected against water and potential water damage. These highly durable labels are constructed of substrate materials and adhesives designed specifically to withstand consistent and heavy exposure to water and other moisture-related conditions. Think of bottles of beer or water submerged in an icy cooler, a wine bottle chilling in an ice bucket, or bottles of hair and skincare products lined up in a steamy shower day after day. ## Water-resistant Labels Water-resistant labels also stand up to moisture, but to a much lesser degree of exposure. These labels are designed to repel water and oil-based liquid (often present in the product itself) while still maintaining label integrity. They are best for products that will come into limited contact with moisture, such as food products sold in jar containers. ## Label Material Choices Typically, the choices for water-resistant and waterproof labels fall into two categories: paper and film. Paper is an economical option, but even stocks with higher wet strength or combined with an overlaminate will eventually become saturated and fall apart when exposed to water. On the other hand, custom [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) printed on polypropylene film stock are inherently designed to stand up to liquids. When these high-strength labels are paired with a water- and oil-resistant laminate, they provide long-term durability and performance immune to peeling, curling, or fading in the face of water, oil or liquid. ### Adhesives Options Equally important in the waterproof vs. water-resistant label decision-making process is the label adhesive. If the label sticks, the product information, and branding will not be compromised. There are many strong, moisture-resistant label adhesives on the market today formulated to withstand a full range of water and liquid exposure and remain adhered to the bottle, jar, or another product container. An experienced print provider can help choose the right one. At the risk of stating the obvious, labels with removable adhesive are an ill-advised option for products that will be exposed to any environment involving water or other liquids. ### Choose Wisely It should come as no surprise, that custom waterproof labels typically cost more to produce than water-resistant labels. But it all comes down to this: know your product. A careful assessment of the product’s contents, storage, and use will serve as an important guide to making the right decision on which type of label to use. If there’s a high probability that the bottle, can, jar or container will be subjected to heavy and repeated exposure to water, waterproof custom product labels are the clear winner. Water-resistant labels do the job for just about anything else. ## Ask the experts To stem the tide of any water damage to your product or brand reputation, [contact](https://columbinelabel.com/get-quote-custom-labels/) Columbine Label Company for a free quote and consultation on the right waterproof/water-resistant custom product labels for your needs. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [How to Choose the Best Label Material for Your Product](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-choose-the-best-label-material-for-your-product/) **Published:** July 6, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Labels are simple, right? Guess again. There are numerous factors to consider when having custom printed labels produced with the right label material. But it starts with the most basic decision for a label: the face material. There are two choices for label material stock – paper or film – and it is important to understand the difference when making this fundamental first decision: - **Paper face materials:** these include uncoated papers, gloss-, and matte-coated papers, colored papers, textured papers, and paper labels with wet-strength capacity. - **Filmic face materials:** choices here include polyethylene (for squeezable product containers), polypropylene (economical and less stretchy), and polyester (this resists water, oil, and chemicals). Other more specialized face materials are available, including vinyl, foils, and holographic materials. Determining which face material to use is based on the nature of the product itself, the packaging material, the label application process, how and where the product will be stored and displayed, and its end-use. Here are five key considerations for choosing the best label material for your product: 1. **Service temperatures** The integrity of printed labels can be compromised by exposure to temperatures. These conditions and extremes must be taking into consideration. Just like some materials are not meant for extreme cold, there are also materials that cannot withstand high heat. Choosing the right adhesive and substrate combination can help ensure that the label’s service life matches the product’s lifespan. 2. **Environmental conditions** Temperature isn’t the only external factor in a label’s performance. Ultraviolet light, humidity, chemical compounds, and other environmental conditions also will inform decisions on label components, including face material. - **Ultraviolet light** can fade printing and degrade the bonds between the adhesive and face material. - **Humidity** can damage the printing and the material and can also cause adhesive failure. - **Chemical compounds** can react with ink to cause discoloration or smearing. Other environmental conditions may have a similar result. 3. **Abrasion and tear resistance** If a product will be subject to rough handling or contact with other items during manufacture, shipping, or display, the face of the label must be able to stand up to abrasion and tears. Abrasion affects the surface of the label and can undermine the base of the printed layer and damage it. If such physical conditions are expected to be a factor, the label face material can be reinforced to guard against abrasion and tearing. 4. **Type of printing process** [Product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) must be designed to survive the printing process, and the label’s face material is the direct point of contact during printing. The material should be compatible with the type of ink being used, whether it’s water-based inks, electrostatic inks or UV inks. Many of the same label qualities that help protect against abrasion and tearing are also used to create a particular finished look of a label. 5. **Surface to which the label is adhered** The material, shape, contour, and texture of the packaging or other surface to which a label will be affixed are also key considerations. Without the proper face material, the surface to which the label is applied can distort the printed graphics and content on the label. A label that will be attached to a flat surface will not distort, however, a simple or complex curved surface will require a face material that can slightly conform to the shape without distorting your print. ### Ask the experts Once you have assessed all of these factors, making that final decision about the label material best suited for your needs will most likely require input from a seasoned custom label printer.

As consumers seek to incorporate environmentally responsible products into every area of their lives, businesses are stepping up their marketing to highlight eco-friendly attributes. Terms like “recyclable,” “compostable,” and “biodegradable” are now commonplace on product packaging. However, not all claims are created equal, and some may cross into the murky waters of “greenwashing.” This is where the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s “Green Guides” come into play. Let’s explore what greenwashing means, the issues surrounding unsubstantiated green claims, and the legal ramifications companies face when their claims don’t live up to FTC guidelines. ### What Are the FTC’s Green Guides? The [FTC’s Green Guides](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/federal-register-notices/guides-use-environmental-marketing-claims-green-guides) are a set of guidelines designed to help marketers ensure their environmental claims are truthful and not deceptive. First introduced in 1992 and updated periodically, the Green Guides provide businesses with detailed advice on how to avoid making misleading environmental claims. They address a variety of topics, including: - Recyclability - Compostability - Biodegradability - Carbon offsets - Renewable energy claims The Green Guides are not laws themselves but serve as a framework to help businesses comply with [Section 5 of the FTC Act](https://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/supmanual/cch/200806/ftca.pdf), which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in commerce. ### Understanding Greenwashing Greenwashing refers to the practice of making misleading or unsubstantiated claims about the environmental benefits of a product, service, or practice. This can include exaggerating a product’s recyclability, compostability, or sustainability. While greenwashing can give a company a short-term marketing boost, it erodes consumer trust and can have serious legal consequences. ### Claims of Recyclability and Compostability Two of the most common areas where greenwashing occurs are claims of recyclability and compostability.![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Green-Wash-2.jpg) **Recyclability:** A product can only be marketed as recyclable if the entire item, or significant portions of it, can be collected, separated, and reused in the recycling process. The FTC’s Green Guides stress that such claims should be qualified if recycling facilities are not widely available to a substantial majority of consumers (defined as at least 60%). **Compostability:** For a product to be labeled compostable, it must break down into usable compost in a safe and timely manner in most municipal or industrial composting facilities. If facilities are not readily available, this limitation must be disclosed. ### The Problem with Unsubstantiated Claims One of the major issues surrounding claims of recyclability and compostability is the **lack of universal standards and infrastructure.** For example: - **Recyclability:** Even if a product’s materials are technically recyclable, it may not be processed in local facilities due to limitations in recycling technology or market demand for certain materials. Items like plastic straws, coffee cups, or multi-layered packaging often fall into this gray area. - **Compostability:** Industrial composting facilities capable of processing biodegradable plastics are scarce, meaning that even compostable products often end up in landfills. Without adequate disclaimers, consumers are left with unrealistic expectations. ### Legal Challenges and Case Studies Unsubstantiated green claims can lead to significant legal consequences. Here are some notable cases: ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Green-Wash-1-300x200.jpg) 1. **Keurig’s Recyclable K-Cups:** Keurig faced lawsuits over claims that its single-use K-Cups were recyclable. Plaintiffs argued that the products were not recyclable in most facilities due to their size and the need to separate materials. The company eventually agreed to a settlement and clarified its recyclability claims. More on this story as reported my [NPR](https://www.npr.org/2024/09/12/nx-s1-5109902/keurig-kcup-pods-recycle-sec-fine). 2. **EarthFriendly Plastics Lawsuit:** In another high-profile case, a company marketed its plastic bags as “biodegradable” and “compostable,” despite the fact that they could not break down in standard composting facilities. The FTC intervened, resulting in fines and a prohibition on making unsubstantiated claims. 3. **Greenpeace vs. Walmart:** Walmart was sued by Greenpeace for allegedly labeling plastic products as recyclable when many of them could not be processed in most U.S. recycling facilities. This case highlighted the importance of aligning claims with actual recycling capabilities. ### Best Practices for Avoiding Greenwashing To avoid falling into the trap of greenwashing, businesses should: - **Be Specific:** Avoid vague terms like “green” or “eco-friendly” without clear definitions or substantiation. - **Substantiate Claims:** Conduct third-party testing to verify claims of recyclability, compostability, or biodegradability. - **Disclose Limitations:** If a product requires specific conditions (e.g., industrial composting), make that clear to consumers. - **Stay Updated:** Regularly review the FTC’s Green Guides and ensure marketing practices are in compliance. ### Conclusion Greenwashing undermines consumer trust and hampers genuine efforts to protect the environment. By adhering to the FTC’s Green Guides and taking care to substantiate environmental claims, businesses can market their products responsibly while avoiding legal pitfalls. For consumers, staying informed about what terms like “recyclable” and “compostable” truly mean can help make more sustainable purchasing decisions. Columbine Label Company has a mini blog series on sustainability that you can find [right here](https://columbinelabel.com/category/sustainability/) among other posts that you may find enlightening. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [Sustainability & Labels: Part 3](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability-labels-part-3/) **Published:** May 20, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **What materials are suited for sustainable labels** In [Part 2 of our Sustainability & Labels series](/sustainability-labels-part-2/), we covered the different terminology under the umbrella of sustainability. With a clear understanding of how these categories differ and why sustainability is critical to influencing sales, it’s time to get a handle on what materials are suitable for sustainable product labels. **Overcoming challenges** With the steadily increasing demand for sustainability, it would follow that a myriad of packaging materials, label facestocks, inks, and adhesives are readily available. On the contrary, choices still remain limited. One [stumbling block](https://www.labelandnarrowweb.com/issues/2020-01-01/view_features/sustainable-substrates/) is supplies of clean, recycled paper and films. Without that, materials producers are disinclined to include PCR content in papers and films. Additionally, label stocks often require a controlled storage environment and have a short shelf life, limiting their use in certain applications. On the adhesive front, performance challenges exist with compostable adhesives. The [good news](https://www.labelandnarrowweb.com/issues/2020-01-01/view_features/sustainable-substrates/) is that top label materials providers, such as Acucote, Avery Dennison, Wausau Coated Products, and UPM Raflatac, are continually investing in R&D to develop a broader portfolio of environmentally friendly label components. **Facestocks that fit the criteria** Label material suppliers have gone to great lengths to develop products to meet sustainability goals in product packaging, focusing on biodegradable, repulpable, and compostable materials. Expanded portfolios of paper and film facestocks with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content ranging from semi-gloss and matte litho to thermal transfer, ASTM D6400-certified compostable stocks, FSC certified liners, materials with 100% PCR content. Other innovative options include ultra-clear film labels that give a “no label” look, and a non-wood recycled face material made from recovered agave cactus fibers. **Advancing adhesives** Advancements are being made in adhesives, too. With the prevalence of mandated recycling in many communities, label materials that can be recycled and wash-off adhesives are increasingly important print specs. With wash-off adhesives, labels on products being recycled can be washed off during the industrial washing process, leaving clean PET flakes or glass that can be recovered, which in turn, provides an additional benefit of creating a circular economy. **Making the move to sustainability** There has never been a better time for producers of consumer packaged goods to shift to sustainable packaging and labels. Great strides have been made in new materials and printing technology to accommodate a forecasted $150 billion industry of sustainable fast-moving consumer goods by 2021. By working closely with their print provider, brands can make smart choices that meet their criteria for quality, performance, value, as well as sustainability goals. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [Sustainability & Labels: Part 2](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability-labels-part-2/) **Published:** May 20, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **How sustainability, recyclability, and compostability differ** In [Part 1 of our Sustainability & Labels series](/sustainability-labels-part-1/), we discussed why it is imperative that brands incorporate sustainability into their product packaging and labels. Not only do consumers demand it, but research also shows many are willing to pay more for it. **Know before you “go”** But before you invest in new environmentally friendly packaging – from boxes and bottles to printed labels – it helps to understand what’s what, and what’s not, in the world of waste-not. Sustainable packaging is often grouped into three categories: **Recycled content** is made from pre and post-consumer materials. Pre-consumer material includes waste from manufacturing, such as leftover metal from factories or construction work. Post-consumer material is created from waste that has been diverted from landfills after the consumer has used it (e.g., paper products). **Biodegradable content** is any material that can be broken down through a biological process (using, e.g., bacteria or fungi). In reality, everything – even disposable diapers – will eventually break down, but the less time a product takes to degrade, the better. Bioplastics derived from natural sources, such as vegetable fats/oils or cornstarch, fall into the biodegradable category. **Reusable content** can be cleaned and subsequently reused. Examples include reusable shopping bags, corrugated cardboard boxes, pallets, and durable bulk containers. CPG packaging can be added to that list as well, thanks to innovative organizations that are making reusability more convenient for companies and their customers. Experts at TLMI, the label, and the printed package trade association, say there is no scientific or universal way to measure if materials are biodegradable. Compostable, on the other hand, can be verified through tests, measurements, and certifications. TLMI notes, however, that once the adhesive has been added to any material, it is no longer compostable. TLMI also cautions print consumers to be wary of claims that plastic or film is both compostable AND recyclable. Recyclers consider anything that composts or biodegrades as a contaminant and will not accept it. The [Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI)](https://www.bpiworld.org/) is the organization in North America that certifies composability. They are also an excellent source of information on what questions to ask your print provider about their sustainability claims, including this decision tree on ASTM D6868 /D6400, the two tests to confirm compostability. **Additional considerations** To complicate matters a bit further, when it comes to label and packaging components, regulations that restrict the composition of substrates, inks, and press consumables, and govern waste management, vary geographically, so material availability could be an issue depending on where you produce and sell your product. One final consideration to be mindful of is sustainability claims in your marketing. According to [FTC guidelines](https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-issues-revised-green-guides/greenguides.pdf), “an environmental marketing claim should specify whether it refers to the product, the product’s packaging, a service, or just to a portion of the product, package, or service.” In [Part 3 of this series](/sustainability-labels-part-3/), we’ll take a look at what sustainable label materials are available today that help brands incorporate sustainability into product packaging to meet accelerating consumer demand for eco-friendly products. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [Sustainability & Labels: Part 1](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability-labels-part-1/) **Published:** May 20, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## Why sustainability is trending in labels – and why you should care. Sustainability is here to stay. It has become a major driving force in every aspect of business operations as well as consumer choice. In fact, external demand – from environmental groups and eco-minded consumers to activist investors – is the primary impetus for corporate sustainable initiatives. Consumer packaged goods, in particular, are on the front lines of the sustainability movement. Products on retail shelves and e-tail sites have high visibility when it comes to sustainability. The package and label are front and center in communicating a brand’s eco-efforts. Marketers that ignore the growing demand for eco-friendly labeling and packaging risk losing sales in a matter of seconds. **The demand is growing** It is [predicted](https://www.mintel.com/press-centre/beauty-and-personal-care/mintel-announces-sub-zero-waste-as-2019s-global-beauty-and-personal-care-trend) that over the next five years, there will be explosive growth in a focus on sustainability around the globe as more and more consumers seek ways to reduce waste and protect the environment. [Research](https://www.labelandnarrowweb.com/issues/2020-01-01/view_features/sustainable-substrates/) shows that consumers consider sustainability to be “among the most important factors when determining their spending habits.” [One study](https://www.labelandnarrowweb.com/issues/2020-01-01/view_features/sustainable-substrates/) reports that 61 percent strive to purchase products from companies that have made public commitments to sustainability goals. So important, in fact, that they’re willing to pay a premium for it: - 3 in 5 adults (61%) say they would be willing to pay more for food products packaged with sustainable materials - 35% would consider paying up to 10% more That translates into big business. Forecasts indicate that by 2021, eco-minded shoppers will spend up to $150 billion on sustainable fast-moving consumer goods. **Key eco-conscious consumer segment** If your target market is millennials, pay attention. Millennials are more likely than Baby Boomers (53% vs. 34%) to say they would be willing to forgo a brand in order to buy products that are environmentally friendly. But it is more nuanced than simply marketing sustainable products to consumers born between 1980 and 1996. The majority of Americans (60%) fall into what is known as the “Sustainable Mainstream” category. These consumers want to be more environmentally conscious but are also searching for additional benefits beyond sustainability, such as improving health or cost savings. **The sustainability ball is in your court** As a consumer goods brand, if you haven’t already taken steps to adopt sustainability into your package label, it’s time to make a move. In [Part 2 of this series](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability-labels-part-2/), we’ll discuss the important distinctions between sustainable packaging terms that are absolutely critical to your label and packaging materials choices. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [When Is the Right Time to Switch to Professional Product Labels? A Guide for Small Business Owners](https://columbinelabel.com/when-is-the-right-time-to-switch-to-professional-product-labels-a-guide-for-small-business-owners/) **Published:** February 17, 2025 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** For small business owners in the commercial goods sector, your product labels are often the first point of contact with potential customers. They communicate your brand’s value, showcase your professionalism, and help your product stand out in a competitive market. Many small businesses start by printing their own labels to save costs, but there comes a point where switching to professional product labels becomes not just beneficial but essential. Here’s how to determine if you’ve reached that point. #### The Cost-Benefit Analysis: Time vs. Quality As a business owner, your time is one of your most valuable resources. Printing your own labels may seem economical initially, but the true costs can quickly add up: 1. **Time Investment:** - Printing labels in-house is time-consuming. From troubleshooting printing issues to physically cutting labels that are not pre die cut, these tasks can detract from focusing on growing your business. Additionally, setting up the print, including registering pre-die-cut labels, can be tedious and prone to delays. Troubleshooting any issues that arise during the printing process, such as misalignments or equipment errors, further consumes valuable time that could be spent growing your business. - Professional label companies have the tools and expertise to handle this process efficiently, freeing you to focus on what you do best: running your business. 2. **Equipment Costs:** - Many small businesses start with entry-level printers and label materials, which may produce acceptable results at low volumes. However, as your business grows, these systems may not keep up with your needs. - Professional-grade printing equipment is expensive and often not feasible for small businesses to purchase and maintain. 3. **Material Waste:** - DIY label printing can result in significant material waste due to errors or inefficiencies. Professional label providers ensure precision, reducing waste and associated costs. #### Quality Considerations Your labels are a direct reflection of your brand. Lesser-quality labels can: - Fade or smudge, leading to an unprofessional appearance. - Peel or tear, leaving your product vulnerable to damage. - Fail to comply with industry or regulatory standards, which could impact your ability to sell in certain markets. Professional label companies, like Columbine Label, use high-quality materials and advanced printing technology to produce durable, eye-catching labels that enhance your brand’s credibility. [Choosing the right material](https://columbinelabel.com/choosing-the-right-material-for-your-product-labels/) is something we can even help with. #### When to Make the Switch Here are some key indicators that it’s time to transition to professional product labels: 1. **Increased Volume Needs:** - If you’re regularly producing 250 or more products per run, professional labels are a cost-effective solution. Printing this quantity in-house can strain your equipment and staff resources. 2. **Scaling Up Production:** - Expanding your distribution channels or entering retail markets often requires labels that meet specific quality and durability standards. 3. **Brand Growth:** - A growing brand needs labels that align with its professional image. Consistent, high-quality labels help build trust and recognition among your customers. 4. **Compliance Requirements:** - If your product needs to meet specific industry regulations (e.g., food safety, health products, or environmental standards), professional labels ensure compliance and avoid costly mistakes. #### The Bottom Line Switching to [professional product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels/) is an investment in your business’s future.

Among the pioneers of this revolution stands the HP Indigo, a digital printing technology that has redefined the way we produce high-quality prints. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll unravel the intricacies of digital label printing, using the [HP Indigo](https://www.hp.com/us-en/industrial-printers/indigo-digital-presses.html) as our focal point. From the underlying principles to the remarkable capabilities it offers, let’s embark on a journey to understand the magic behind this innovative printing technology. ## **The Fundamentals of Digital Printing** At its core, digital printing is a method of reproducing digital images on various media, for label and packaging production. Unlike traditional analog printing methods, digital printing does not require physical plates or cylinders to transfer ink to the substrate. Instead, it relies on digital files to directly apply ink or toner onto the printing surface. The HP Indigo is a prominent example of digital printing technology, and it leverages the principles of electrophotography to achieve exceptional results. ## **The HP Indigo: A Beacon of Innovation** HP Indigo technology has earned a reputation for its exceptional print quality, versatility, and efficiency. Let’s take a closer look at how this technology works: **ElectroInk**: The heart of the HP Indigo is its proprietary ElectroInk. This special ink formulation consists of microscopic particles suspended in a liquid carrier. It’s worth noting that ElectroInk is different from traditional liquid ink or toner. The microscopic particles in ElectroInk enable it to fuse with the printing substrate more effectively, resulting in vibrant and sharp prints. ## **The ElectroInk Process** The printing process in an HP Indigo press is divided into several key steps: **1. Charging**: The first step involves charging the photoconductive drum. The drum is negatively charged, which means it has an excess of electrons. **2. Imaging**: The digital file to be printed is sent to the press. An image carrier in the form of a plate or drum receives the digital image. In the case of the HP Indigo, this image carrier is a photoconductive drum. **3. Laser Exposure**: The next step is laser exposure. A laser beam selectively discharges areas on the charged drum, creating an electrostatic image that corresponds to the digital file. **4. Toner Application**: This is where ElectroInk comes into play. The charged drum rotates and comes into contact with the ElectroInk. The positively charged particles in the ink are attracted to the negatively charged areas on the drum, transferring the ink onto the drum in a pattern that mirrors the image. **5. Image Transfer**: The image on the drum is now ready to be transferred onto the printing substrate. This transfer is facilitated by a rubber transfer blanket, which presses against the drum and receives the ink. **6. Fusing**: The transferred image on the printing substrate now needs to be fixed. This is done through a process called fusing, which involves applying heat and pressure to melt and fuse the ink particles onto the substrate. The result is a high-quality, durable, and smudge-resistant print. **7. Printing Substrate**: The HP Indigo is exceptionally versatile and can handle a wide range of substrates, including coated and uncoated papers, synthetics, and specialty materials. This versatility makes it a go-to choice for label printing, packaging, and various other applications. ## **Benefits of HP Indigo Technology** The HP Indigo’s unique printing process offers several notable advantages: **1. High Quality**: One of the standout features of HP Indigo technology is its exceptional print quality. The tiny ElectroInk particles allow for precise and sharp images with vibrant colors. **2. Short Runs and Variable Data**: HP Indigo presses are well-suited for short print runs and variable data printing. Whether you need to print a few labels or a personalized marketing campaign, the HP Indigo can handle the job efficiently. **3. Quick Turnaround**: Unlike traditional analog printing methods, the HP Indigo requires minimal setup time. This quick turnaround is ideal for meeting tight deadlines. At Columbine Label, the advantage provided by this technology means that we can typically turn work inn 3-5 business days after proof approval. For reference the industry standard is roughly 10 business days for digital label printing. **4. Eco-Friendly**: The HP Indigo is known for its environmentally friendly features. It produces minimal waste and uses a liquid ink, reducing the need for disposable consumables. **5. Customization**: The ability to print variable data and customize each piece makes the HP Indigo perfect for personalized packaging, labels, and promotional materials. ## **Workflow Integration** The HP Indigo technology is not just about the press itself; it also integrates into a comprehensive printing workflow. Here are some key aspects of this integration: **1. Digital Front End (DFE)**: The DFE is the digital interface that processes and interprets the digital files to be printed. It controls various aspects of the printing process, including color management, imposition, and job scheduling. **2. Variable Data Printing (VDP)**: VDP is a crucial aspect of the HP Indigo’s capability.

The labels on chemical products must convey essential information, withstand harsh environments, and meet stringent regulatory standards. In this post, we’ll explore the key aspects of chemical labeling, including regulatory requirements, durability considerations, common challenges, and best practices for ensuring your labels meet the highest standards. ## **Regulatory Requirements for Chemicals Labeling** ### GHS Compliance One of the most prominent regulatory frameworks governing chemical labeling is the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals ([GHS)](https://www.ilo.org/sites/default/files/wcmsp5/groups/public/@ed_dialogue/@lab_admin/documents/genericdocument/wcms_841722.pdf). Adopted by many countries, including the United States under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard ([HCS](https://www.osha.gov/hazcom/global)), GHS aims to standardize the classification and labeling of chemicals worldwide. Key elements of GHS-compliant labels include: - **Product Identifier:** The name or number used for the chemical on the label and in the safety data sheet (SDS). - **Signal Words:** Either “Danger” or “Warning” to indicate the relative level of severity of the hazard. - **Hazard Statements:** Descriptions of the nature and degree of the chemical’s hazards. - **Precautionary Statements:** Recommendations for minimizing or preventing adverse effects from exposure, improper storage, or handling. - **Pictograms:** Symbols that convey specific hazard information visually. - **Supplier Identification:** Name, address, and phone number of the chemical manufacturer or supplier. ### Other Regulatory Standards In addition to GHS, chemical labels must comply with other regulations depending on the jurisdiction and specific industry. For example: - **Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):** For products classified as pesticides or hazardous waste, the EPA requires specific labeling formats and content. - **Department of Transportation (DOT):** Chemical products that are transported must adhere to DOT labeling requirements, including proper shipping names, hazard class labels, and UN numbers. - **Food and Drug Administration (FDA):** Chemicals used in food processing or pharmaceuticals may have additional labeling requirements to ensure consumer safety. ## **Durability Requirements for Chemical Labels** Given the environments in which chemical products are stored, handled, and used, the labels themselves must be extremely durable. Key durability considerations include: ### **Resistance to Harsh Conditions** Chemical labels must be able to withstand exposure to a variety of harsh conditions, such as: - **Chemical Resistance:** The label must resist degradation when exposed to the chemicals it identifies, as well as to other substances like solvents and cleaning agents. - **Temperature Extremes:** Labels must endure both high and low temperatures without fading, peeling, or becoming unreadable. - **UV Exposure:** For products stored or used outdoors, UV resistance is critical to prevent labels from fading or deteriorating under sunlight. ### **Adhesive Strength** The adhesive used on chemical labels must be strong enough to adhere to a variety of surfaces, including plastics, metals, and glass, even in challenging conditions like moisture, oil, or dust. ### **Label Material** Choosing the right label material is crucial for durability. Options include: - **Polyester:** Highly durable and resistant to chemicals and temperature changes. - **Vinyl:** Flexible and ideal for irregular surfaces, though not as chemical-resistant as polyester. - **Polypropylene:** A cost-effective option with good resistance to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. ## **Common Challenges in Chemicals Labeling** Despite clear guidelines and available technology, chemical manufacturers often face several challenges in labeling their products: ### **Complexity of Regulatory Compliance** Navigating the myriad of international, federal, and local regulations can be daunting, especially for companies operating in multiple markets. Each regulatory body may have its own specific requirements, making it essential to stay updated and ensure labels are compliant across all jurisdictions. ### **Durability Issues** Ensuring labels remain intact and legible throughout the product’s lifecycle can be challenging, especially when dealing with aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, or outdoor conditions. Selecting the wrong label material or adhesive can lead to label failure, resulting in non-compliance and potential safety risks. ### **Changing Regulations** Regulations are not static; they evolve over time. Keeping labels compliant with the latest regulations requires ongoing vigilance and the ability to quickly adapt to new standards. This can involve redesigning labels, updating content, and ensuring that all existing products are relabeled, which can be a costly and time-consuming process. ### **Cost Management** High-quality, durable labels can be more expensive than standard labels, which can impact the overall cost of production. Manufacturers must balance the need for durable, compliant labels with the realities of their budget, which can be particularly challenging for smaller companies. ## **Best Practices for Effective Chemicals Labeling** To overcome these challenges and ensure your chemical labels meet all necessary standards, consider the following best practices: - **Work with Experienced Label Suppliers:** Partner with suppliers who have experience in the chemical industry and can provide guidance on the best materials, adhesives, and printing methods for your specific needs. - **Stay Informed About Regulations:** Regularly review regulatory updates and work with legal or compliance experts to ensure your labels are always up to date. - **Test Labels in Real-World Conditions:** Before committing to a label solution, test it in the environments where your product will be used to ensure it meets all durability requirements. - **Invest in Quality:** While cost is always a consideration, investing in high-quality labels can prevent costly recalls, compliance issues, and safety incidents down the line. ## **Conclusion** Chemical labeling is a complex and critical aspect of chemical manufacturing.

This shift is fueled by growing consumer awareness of environmental issues and the demand for responsible packaging solutions. This is also driven by new and increasing government regulations around EPR (extended producer responsibility). These laws are in effect or going into effect in [California](https://calrecycle.ca.gov/epr/), [Colorado](https://cdphe.colorado.gov/hm/epr-program), [Maine](https://www.maine.gov/dep/waste/recycle/epr.html), [Maryland](https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/cmte_testimony/2022/ent/7827_02012022_103310-714.pdf), and [Oregon](https://www.oregon.gov/deq/recycling/pages/modernizing-oregons-recycling-system.aspx) with more states expected to follow suit. Expect labels made from recycled and biodegradable materials to become more commonplace. Additionally, eco-friendly inks and adhesives that minimize environmental impact will gain traction. Sustainable practices will not only be a selling point for brands but a necessity as consumers become more conscious of their ecological footprint. ## **Personalization and Brand Storytelling** Consumers today seek products that resonate with their values and lifestyles. Label buyers can anticipate a surge in demand for personalized labels that tell a brand’s story. Brands will invest in [visually appealing](https://columbinelabel.com/6-steps-to-eye-catching-quality-labels/) labels that convey authenticity, building a stronger emotional connection with consumers. The label industry will witness an increased use of variable data printing, enabling brands to customize labels with unique text, images, [barcodes](https://columbinelabel.com/barcode-labels-for-custom-label-projects/), or QR codes for each product unit. This personalization trend aligns with the broader shift towards more meaningful and authentic brand communication. ## **Supply Chain Resilience and Re-normalization** The label industry, like many others, has felt the impact of global disruptions in recent years. The re-normalization of the supply chain will be a pivotal focus in 2024. Label buyers can expect increased efforts to build resilience into the supply chain, mitigating risks associated with geopolitical events, natural disasters, and other unforeseen challenges. Technology will play a crucial role in achieving a more resilient supply chain. Blockchain, for instance, will be employed to enhance transparency and traceability, ensuring that labels and packaging materials can be tracked from manufacturing to distribution. This not only reduces the risk of counterfeiting but also streamlines logistics and reduces inefficiencies. ## **Collaboration and Integration of Labeling Systems** In 2024, the label industry is moving towards greater collaboration and integration. Label buyers can expect increased synergy between labeling systems and other technologies such as inventory management, warehouse automation, and e-commerce platforms. This integrated approach ensures seamless information flow across the entire supply chain. For instance, labels equipped with QR codes or RFID tags can be integrated with inventory management systems, providing real-time data on stock levels. This not only optimizes inventory management but also facilitates faster and more accurate order fulfillment. ## **Regulatory Compliance and Safety** As consumer awareness of product safety and authenticity grows, label buyers will witness an increased emphasis on regulatory compliance. Stricter regulations related to food safety, product traceability, and labeling standards will drive the adoption of technologies that ensure compliance. Labeling systems that allow for real-time printing of batch-specific information, including expiration dates and ingredient lists, will become essential. This not only ensures regulatory compliance but also enhances consumer trust in the authenticity and safety of the products they purchase. ## **Conclusion** The label industry in 2024 is set to be characterized by innovation, sustainability, and a renewed focus on supply chain resilience. Label buyers can expect a plethora of options in digital printing, an increased emphasis on sustainability, and a greater integration of labeling systems with broader supply chain technologies. The re-normalization of the supply chain will be a driving force, pushing the industry towards greater transparency, efficiency, and adaptability. As the label industry continues to evolve, staying abreast of these trends will be crucial for label buyers aiming to meet the ever-changing demands of consumers and the market. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [Product Labeling on a Budget: Strategies for Small Businesses and Startups](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labeling-on-a-budget/) **Published:** January 8, 2024 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In the competitive landscape of small businesses and startups, every penny counts. When it comes to product packaging, custom labels play a crucial role in branding and attracting customers. However, achieving an appealing and professional label on a budget requires strategic decisions and a keen understanding of cost-saving options. In this blog post, we’ll explore various tips for small businesses and startups to create cost-effective labels, including insights into substrate choices, the impact of printing techniques, and additional processes that can affect the overall price. ### **Choosing the Right Substrate: BOPP to Vinyl** #### **BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene): The Budget-Friendly Option** BOPP is an economical choice for label substrates, offering durability and water resistance. It’s a cost-effective alternative that provides a clean, professional look for products without breaking the bank. While it might lack the luxurious feel of more expensive materials, BOPP is an excellent choice for labels on a tight budget. Additionally, just because it is comparatively inexpensive, does not mean that it is a low quality option. At Columbine Label the vast majority of customers opt for this option for many reasons, only one being its cost effectiveness. #### **Vinyl and Wine Stocks: Investing for Impact** While BOPP is a cost-effective option, some industries benefit from the premium feel of vinyl or wine stocks. Vinyl labels are known for their durability and weather resistance, making them ideal for products that will be exposed to the elements. Wine stocks, with their textured and elegant appearance, add a touch of sophistication to wine bottles. While these options are pricier, they can enhance the perceived value of the product and justify the investment for certain businesses. In this blog we only touch on a handful of materials, but there are [many label options available](https://columbinelabel.com/label-materials/). A label expert can guide you to the right choice for your business. #### **Silver (Chrome) Material: A Budget Substitute for Hot Stamp (Foil Stamp) Labels** [Hot stamp labels](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamped-labels/), known for their metallic and luxurious finish, can be expensive. However, small businesses and startups can achieve a [similar effect](https://columbinelabel.com/hot-stamping-or-silver-bopp/) without the high cost by opting for labels printed on silver (chrome) material. This material mimics the look of hot stamp labels, providing a sleek and reflective surface that catches the eye without the premium price tag. ### **Understanding Printing Techniques: Impact on Cost** #### **Number of Inks: Simplify for Savings** The number of inks used in label printing directly affects the cost. While full-color labels may be visually appealing, they can be costly. Consider simplifying the design to use fewer inks. Two-color or even single-color designs can be just as impactful, especially when strategic choices are made regarding color selection. Typically, one color designs are the cheapest, followed by two color. Three color process is called EPM (enhanced productivity mode) this [color strategy](https://columbinelabel.com/color-consistent-labels/) uses cyan, yellow, and magenta to create black. While EPM is more cost effective, it does not have the same rich black that you would get from process printing. The next most cost effective and also most utilized ink strategy at Columbine Label is called process printing. Process printing is a combination of cyan, yellow, magenta, and black. This color combination comes together to create more than 16,000 different colors. Some shades of blue, red, green, and brown can sometimes be challenging to hit with an exact color match using process printing. [A label expert](https://columbinelabel.com/contact-us/) will know, based on your art, if process printing is right for you or if your project will need extended gambit printing. Extended gambit printing is cyan, yellow, magenta, black, orange, and violet. The addition of orange and violet allows for better color matching, but is more expensive than regular process printing. The most expensive color strategy is when there is a need for extended gambit printing as well as the addition of green ink, other spot colors, and/or white ink. Always remember, more doesn’t always mean better, talk to a label expert to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck! #### **Spot Colors: Balance Aesthetics and Budget** Spot colors, used for specific areas of a design, can elevate the visual appeal of a label. However, using multiple spot colors can significantly increase costs. Small businesses should strike a balance between aesthetics and budget by carefully selecting a limited number of spot colors that enhance the overall design without inflating expenses. #### **Additional Processes: Minimize for Affordability** Certain label embellishments, such as [embossing](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-labels/), debossing, or varnishing, can enhance the tactile and visual appeal but come at an added cost. Small businesses and startups should carefully consider whether these additional processes are essential for their products or if they can achieve a compelling design without them. Minimizing embellishments can lead to considerable cost savings. ### **Optimizing Label Design for Cost Efficiency** #### **Simplicity is Key: Streamlining Designs** Complex designs with intricate details and gradients can increase printing costs. Embrace simplicity in label design by focusing on clear and concise branding elements. Clean lines and bold typography not only reduce printing expenses but also contribute to a more memorable and recognizable brand image. #### **Utilize White Space: Enhancing Aesthetics Without Cost** White space is not just an empty area on a label; it is a powerful design element. Strategically using white space can draw attention to key information, create a clean and modern aesthetic, and reduce the need for excessive ink coverage. This approach not only enhances the overall design but also contributes to cost efficiency. #### **Consider Standard Sizes: Reducing Material Waste** Choosing standard label sizes can contribute to cost savings as they often result in less material waste during the printing process. Custom sizes may require special setups and adjustments, which can incur additional costs. By working with standard sizes, small businesses can benefit from economies of scale and reduce expenses. Additionally, non standard shapes can impact the cost of your labels. Opting for a standard square, rectangle, circle, or oval, could save you on die charges. A one time die charge is assessed for special shape labels where a custom die will need to be ordered. ### **Exploring Economical Printing Options** #### **Digital Printing: Ideal for Short Runs** For small businesses and startups with limited budgets, digital printing is a cost-effective option, especially for short print runs. It eliminates the need for printing plates, setup fees, and large quantities, allowing businesses to print only the labels they need at a given time. #### **Bulk Printing and Ordering in Advance: Capitalizing on Volume Discounts** While it may require a larger upfront investment, ordering labels in bulk can lead to significant cost savings per unit. Small businesses and startups can capitalize on volume discounts by planning ahead and ordering larger quantities, reducing the per-label cost. There may also be programs for bulk ordering or pricing breaks based on projected quantity, make sure to ask your label expert if there are any programs that may apply to you and your business. An example of this type of program is the Columbine Label [beer program](https://columbinelabel.com/craft-beer-label-program/). ### **Conclusion: Affordable Labels, Unforgettable Brands** Creating cost-effective labels for small businesses and startups is not about compromising quality but making strategic choices that align with budget constraints. From choosing budget-friendly substrates like [BOPP](https://columbinelabel.com/choosing-the-right-material-for-your-product-labels/#:~:text=BOPP%20Labels%20(Biaxially%20Oriented%20Polypropylene)) to optimizing design elements and exploring economical printing options, there are numerous ways to achieve professional-looking labels without breaking the bank. By understanding the impact of choices on cost and balancing aesthetics with affordability, small businesses can ensure their labels not only fit their budget but also contribute to building a memorable and impactful brand. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [How to stop your RGB file from being DOA at the printer](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-stop-your-rgb-file-from-being-doa-at-the-printer-2/) **Published:** January 18, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** “Why don’t the colors of my printed labels look the way they do on my computer monitor?” That’s a question we’re hearing more and more from customers new to the world of print. Great color and stand-out label design are the cornerstone of products that attract consumers and sales. And it hinges on the art files you submit to your printer. That’s why it is crucial to understand the difference between [RGB and CMYK](https://columbinelabel.com/rgb-and-cmyk/) color systems. Choosing the right one can prevent your files from being DOA at the printer. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/RGB-vs-CMYK-image.png) ## **RGB vs. CMYK: What’s the difference?** RGB is a color profile that combines red, green and blue light to create colors and is used by electronic devices that emit light, such as computer monitors, televisions, personal devices, and smart phones. This color system can produce a wide spectrum of bright, vibrant colors. The CMYK color system, on the other hand, combines ink in four colors – cyan, magenta, yellow and black – to achieve desired colors on printed paper. Colors viewed in RGB usually are not possible to achieve in CMYK, and vice versa. **Getting it wrong** The distinction between the two color models is important because nothing can be printed in RGB, only in CMYK or with Pantone Matching System (PMS) color inks. Digital art meant for print is often mistakenly created in RGB because the files are created using computer monitors that inherently work in RGB mode. But it’s a color recipe that leads to surprising and unsatisfactory results: **RGB-designed artwork printed in CMYK often comes out dull and muted**. Quite simply, **RGB is unacceptable for printing**. **Getting it right** The good news is, there is an easy fix that can save time, money and disappointment before artwork is even sent to print. With design software such as InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, set up the document in CMYK mode. If a file has already been created using RGB, simply convert the file to CMYK. However, you will need to take the extra step to make color corrections in the new color mode to make sure the colors look the way you want. Print providers often use special software to preview artwork files and catch any potential issues such as RGB mode. If there is a problem, the printer will request that you fix the file and resubmit. **To avoid delays in the processing of your project, however, it is always best to make sure your files are in CMYK before submitting them to your printer**. Reviewing a high-res color proof before it goes to press will further ensure that results that meet your color expectations and bring your labels to life.

Why is that? According to [one source](https://insightsinmarketing.com/how-does-color-affect-consumer-behavior/), 93% of consumers ranked a product’s visual appearance as the most important factor in selection for purchase. Thus, in spicy, fiery food products, labels also need to be hot, hot, hot. As a proud sponsor of the annual [Scovie Awards](http://www.scovieawards.com), which herald the tastiest spicy food products, Columbine Label is also a proud producer of many fiery food labels. Just as concocting the perfect spicy food recipe takes experience, tenacity, on-going quality, and attention to the details, there are many behind-the-scenes factors that are essential to making a top notch, stand out fiery food label. **What Makes Visual Appeal?** Winning fiery food products leverage the major sway of their [product label’s eye-appeal](https://columbinelabel.com/6-steps-to-eye-catching-quality-labels/). Leading the charge in a product’s visual appearance is color, as a reported 85% of consumer perceptions and decisions are swayed by color. Colors activate our perceptions and, in consumer minds, craft specific ideas about a product’s attributes, then believed as “fact”. It’s neuroscience. Optimizing the color and aesthetic characteristics of a fiery food label can alter consumer perception of product quality, taste, smell and safety. **The Hottest Colors** In the mind of consumers, colors evoke emotions. Fortunately, the colors that bode well in consumer perceptions are often the colors that also represent “heat” (red, yellow) and “healthy (green) and are often used in fiery [food label designs](https://columbinelabel.com/five-tips-to-engaging-label-designs/). For example: ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Scovie-Awards-3-0.png) **Impulse Drives Purchase** Consumers like us, it turns out, are impulsive shoppers. Retail selections, both online and in-store, are driven by impulse, to the tune of [67%](https://traxretail.com/blog/eye-level-buy-level-importance-store-product-placement/) of purchases. Thus, it is fiery food labels, together with shelf location, which are the primary vehicles to product selection. Of those two, labels are the one we can collectively optimize.

Although these terms are often used interchangeably, there are some significant differences between them. ### **Private Label** Private label products are products that are developed and sold exclusively by a particular retailer. In this case, the retailer owns the brand and controls the entire product development process, from conception to distribution. Private label products are designed and marketed by the brand but are usually produced by third-party manufacturers, who are contracted by the retailer to produce the product to their specifications. For example, Target’s Market Pantry brand offers a variety of private label products such as food items, household essentials, and personal care products. ### **White Label** On the other hand, white label products are generic products that are designed and developed by a third-party manufacturer but are sold under different brand names by retailers. In this case, the retailer is responsible for the branding and marketing of the product, but the manufacturing process is handled by the original manufacturer. [White label](https://columbinelabel.com/customer-spotlight-white-label/) products are often sold to multiple retailers, who then sell the same product under different brand names. In other words, a retailer purchases these products from a supplier and sells them under their own brand name. For instance, Amazon Basics offers a range of white label products such as electronics, kitchenware, and office supplies. ### **Customization** One of the biggest differences when comparing private vs white labeling products is the level of customization. Private label products are typically customized to meet the specific needs and preferences of the retailer. The retailer has complete control over the product’s design, features, and packaging. By developing their own brands, retailers can differentiate themselves from their competitors and build customer loyalty. Private label products also tend to be more profitable for retailers, as they can set their own prices and margins. In contrast, white label products are often standard, generic products that are sold under different brand names. The supplier may offer some level of customization, but the retailer has limited control over the [product’s design](https://columbinelabel.com/color-psychology-in-product-label-design/) and features. White label products, offer manufacturers the opportunity to sell their products to multiple retailers, thereby increasing their distribution and sales. White label products are also easier and less expensive to develop, as the manufacturer does not have to invest in branding or marketing. ### **Pricing Strategy** Another difference between private label and white label products is the pricing strategy. Private label products are usually priced lower than national brands, but higher than white label products. This is because the retailer has invested in the product’s development, packaging, and marketing. White label products, on the other hand, are priced lower than both national brands and private label products. This is because the supplier can produce the product at a lower cost and the retailer does not have to invest in product development or marketing. It is important to note that both private label and white label products can offer high-quality products to customers. The quality of these products is often comparable to or even better than name-brand products. Private label and white label products are also typically less expensive than name-brand products, making them an attractive option for cost-conscious consumers. ### **Private vs White Label, Final Thoughts** When comparing private vs white labeling, it is important to recognize that both have their advantages and disadvantages for both retailers and consumers. Retailers must consider factors such as customization, pricing, and brand recognition when choosing which type of product to offer. Consumers, on the other hand, must consider factors such as quality, price, and brand loyalty when deciding which type of product to purchase. ###### Want more info on this topic?

Understanding key trends and preparing strategically can make all the difference in navigating the months ahead. Here are some important economic indicators and actionable steps to set your business up for success. #### **Economic Outlook for 2025** The U.S. economy is poised for modest growth in 2025, with momentum picking up in the second half of the year. However, several factors will shape this environment: - **Lingering Inflationary Pressures**: Despite easing monetary policies, inflation remains a concern, fueled by wage growth, housing shortages, and rising energy costs. - **Interest Rates**: Long-term rates are expected to remain relatively stable, but higher inflation may lead to upward pressures. More on how the Fed implements [monetary policy](https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/fedexplained/monetary-policy.htm). - **Sector-Specific Trends**: Nonresidential construction and automotive industries will face headwinds in the first half of 2025, while manufacturing is anticipated to see mild growth. - **Consumer Behavior**: Rising incomes and savings will boost spending, but price sensitivity will remain high due to fresh memories of inflationary hits. For small businesses creating consumer goods, this means emphasizing affordability and unique value will be critical. #### **Steps for Small Business Owners** 1. **Leverage Capital Investments Early** As inflation gains momentum in late 2025, delaying investments could mean higher costs. Consider allocating resources now for efficiency-boosting technologies, particularly those that reduce labor dependency. For example, automation in manufacturing can help offset workforce challenges. For consumer goods producers, this could involve upgrading packaging equipment or streamlining inventory management systems. 2. **Focus on Margins** With rising costs, protecting your profit margins becomes critical. Streamline operations to cut unnecessary expenses, and focus on delivering value to customers. Strong branding and product differentiation will help you maintain competitive pricing while retaining customer loyalty. For consumer goods, this might include emphasizing sustainable or locally-sourced materials, which can justify premium pricing while appealing to consumer values. 3. **Diversify Revenue Streams** Economic uncertainties emphasize the need for resilience. Explore new markets or product lines to mitigate risks from sector-specific downturns. For instance, consumer goods businesses could expand into e-commerce channels or introduce complementary products to existing offerings. 4. **Monitor Market Indicators** Track leading economic indicators relevant to your industry, such as purchasing manager indices or retail sales trends. Staying informed will help you anticipate shifts and adjust your strategies proactively. For consumer goods producers, keeping a close eye on retail trends and consumer sentiment will be particularly valuable. 5. **Strengthen Your Workforce** Use the growth phase to invest in your employees through training and engagement initiatives. A strong, loyal workforce will be a significant asset during future downturns. For small businesses producing consumer goods, training employees in efficient production methods or customer service excellence can directly impact your bottom line. #### **Opportunities on the Horizon** While the coming year has its hurdles, it’s also a time of opportunity. Retail sales are projected to rise, driven by better financial footing for consumers. Businesses positioned to offer high-value, competitively priced products will benefit. Additionally, reshoring trends in manufacturing could provide new avenues for growth. For small businesses creating consumer goods, this could be a prime opportunity to highlight “Made in USA” branding and tap into increasing demand for locally-produced items. By staying informed, proactive, and adaptable, small business owners can turn economic challenges into opportunities. Start preparing today to ensure your business thrives in 2025 and beyond. --- **Disclaimer**: The information provided in this blog is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial, legal, or investment advice.

What's the big deal?](https://columbinelabel.com/from-our-president-safety-whats-the-big-deal/) **Published:** March 6, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** *By Greg Jackson, CEO Columbine Label Company* It’s no secret that the printing industry has a target on its back in the eyes of OSHA, the federal government’s venerated Occupational Safety and Health Administration. In fact, somewhere here in my office, I think I still have the letter they sent me when I bought this company. The deck is definitely stacked against us. But as you grow older, you realize you only get to hurt your back once. Safety is one of those priorities that you don’t think about until you’re on the wrong side of it. That’s why we take safety very seriously here at [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/). We wouldn’t be an effective business if we focused solely on our product [label printing services](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-printing-services/). I want our people to go home in the same condition they arrived in. I don’t want anyone in our shop taking chances they don’t need to for the sake of a paycheck. **A SHARP focus** It’s not just talking, either. We have a proven and ongoing performance record, recognized by multiple safety awards and certifications. For four consecutive years, Columbine Label has been given the Circle of Safety award and has been honored by Pinnacol Assurance for outstanding performance in employee safety, loss control, and financial and claims management. More recently, I am proud to share the latest feather in our safety quiver, so to speak: we are the most recent Colorado-based company to be awarded the [SHARP Certification Award](https://vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/osha/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2022/12/SHARP-Handout.pdf) via The Colorado Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program ([SHARP](https://www.osha.gov/SHARP)). This is not an enter-to-win contest, so it’s what I would call “a big deal.” Of more than 170,000 employer-based businesses in Colorado, only 26 have been named recipients of this award designation from SHARP. It took us three years to earn this award, which included the comprehensive certifications of OSHA-compliant equipment, processes, procedures, and policies. We are proud of this designation because it recognizes our continual safety standards, practices, and procedures, and also puts us on favorable terms with [OSHA](https://www.osha.gov/contactus/bystate/CO/areaoffice)’s standard inspections. **­Safety is in our company DNA** This latest certification also reaffirms to employees and customers our commitment to safety. While most companies spend months, even years, developing and fine-tuning their mission and vision statements, we simply focus on what is most important to us: helping individuals and brands elevate their products with high-quality, responsibly made product labels and exceptional printing standards that generate interest, awareness, and sales. We strive to do what we say and to be proactively open, honest communicators for each and every customer interaction. Integral to that corporate ethos is safety. Regardless of certifications, awards, and other external accolades, we will continue to engage in proactive risk mitigation activities such as an incentive program for reporting Near Misses and Hazards, ongoing noise reduction initiatives, and monthly safety committee meetings that garner input from everyone – from the front office to the plant – so we can identify and prevent real hazards in our workplace. **Leaving risk outside the office** Being risk-averse is an admirable, even mandatory, trait in the world of business. Focusing on safety at work is simply the right thing to do – for our employees, our customers, and the environment. Outside the office? Now that’s another story. You just might catch me hanging off the side of a 14,000-foot mountain – all in the name of fun, but never for a paycheck. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [FROM OUR PRESIDENT: 5 Lessons Fishing Taught Me About Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/5-lessons-fishing-taught-me-about-labels/) **Published:** May 29, 2024 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** If medical researchers ever invent a test that can identify a person’s passions in their DNA, my results would read unequivocally: “fishing fanatic” and “destined for the sticky paper”. Some things are just meant to be; which explains how my life has come full circle here in Colorado by doing two things that destiny had written firmly in my DNA. Born and raised in Kansas, I was baptized into the sport of fishing at the age of four by my father and grandfather during our first of several big family vacations in Telluride. From the moment we stepped into the San Miguel River that first day, I was hooked. I’m not sure if it was merely the experience of spending quality time with two men in my life whom I looked up to, or the sheer joy of being in the glorious outdoors and playing with the rods, reels, and worms. Regardless, it fueled a lifelong love of the sport (and a gravitational pull to put down roots in Colorado), and taught me five important lessons that have proven valuable in the world of label printing. ### **Lesson 1: Technique and timing are everything.** I got into the art of fly fishing much later in life, but I like to think you’re never too old to learn new hobbies or valuable lessons. Fly fishing is all about casting your *line* rather than the lure. The technique is key. So is timing. You have to know not only how and when but *where* to trick the fish into biting your hook. Technique and timing also play a large role in the label printing world. Different [label materials](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-choose-the-best-label-material-for-your-product/) have different properties that require a skilled press operator who understands the nuances of each substrate and can navigate a successful print run. Achieving a consistent, high-print quality look demands expertise in various printing techniques that meet/exceeds customer expectations each and every time. In our business, where short lead times are the promise, we face the ultimate test of timing on a daily basis. Customer satisfaction rides on both the quality of our output and our ability to reliably do what we say we’re going to do. That’s why we measure our success by our On Time and Early Shipment metrics – currently at 97.32 percent. ### **Lesson 2: Stock up on patience and perseverance.** Fishing is the quintessential sport of leisure. Many avid fishermen/women, however, consider fly fishing to be on a completely different level. Izaak Walton, the author of *The Compleat Angler*(1653), called fly fishing “The Contemplative Man’s Recreation.” It requires an aptitude for perseverance, which goes hand in hand with patience. The same can be said for producing exceptional printing results. At Columbine Label, we approach every job with a clear sense of purpose: to deliver on our customers’ needs. That means taking the extra steps to establish honest and open relationships and create positive experiences with our customers. Building trust guides our actions and shapes our decisions each and every day. ### **Lesson 3: Find your champion.** Like any sport, fishing is one you master by doing. Ideally, you find someone to teach you proper techniques. For me, it was my father and grandfather. I am forever indebted to them for encouraging me to keep trying and teaching me the skill of fishing and the joy of the catch. Because we have spent decades mastering the art of quality label production, many of our customers have come to rely on us as an extension of their business because their product – and successful marketing – relies so heavily on putting out quality-labeled products that attract consumers and generate sales. We champion our customers’ success from behind the scenes to on the shelves. ### **Lesson 4: Don’t be afraid to wade in knee-deep.** Wading into a swift and cold river much bigger than me when I was young for the mere chance of *maybe* catching a fish taught me a lot about taking chances for the reward at the end of the line. In our print shop, we are always wading into what’s new in the world of product label printing. Whether it’s investing time and resources into new markets, new materials, or new printing services such as shrink sleeves, we aren’t afraid to test the waters to provide the best and latest label printing solutions for our customers. ### **Lesson 5: Do what you love.** Take it from a little boy from the heartland who followed his Colorado dream. It IS possible to use what’s in your passion DNA and turn it into a fulfilling professional life. We make an effort to foster that culture in-house. We aim to make each day matter, have fun, and even spread a bit of laughter. And, of course, print lots of high-quality, eye-catching labels that help our customers sell more of what they do best. As they say, > “if you love what you do, it’s not work.” Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I hear the river calling.

All that is left is packaging, you’ve got your bottles, your filling equipment, and maybe a co-packer all lined up, but you are missing one crucial element, your product label! Where do you even start? A well-designed label can help to enhance the appeal of your product and attract potential customers. Here are some key considerations and tips for designing a product label for print. ### **Determine the Purpose and Audience of the Label** Before you start designing your label, it’s essential to understand the purpose and intended audience of your product. Consider the following questions: What is the product? Who is the target audience? What are the key selling points of the product? Understanding the purpose and audience of the label will help you to determine the style, design elements, and information to include on the label. ### **Choose the Right Label Material** The choice of label material and printing method can have a significant impact on the final appearance of your label. Some common [label materials](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-choose-the-best-label-material-for-your-product/) include paper, BOPP, and vinyl. With [BOPP (Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylene)](https://columbinelabel.com/hot-stamping-or-silver-bopp/#:~:text=for%20your%20product.-,WHAT%20IS%20SILVER%20BOPP,-BOPP%20stands%20for) being the most common label material across industries. Each material has its unique properties, and choosing the right material depends on the product’s intended use, a Columbine Label expert can help you determine which material would be most suitable for your specific product. ### **Consider the Label Size and Shape** The label size and shape can influence the overall design of the label. A well-designed label should be easy to read and visually appealing, even when viewed from a distance. The size and shape of the label should also be appropriate for the product and packaging. A unique shape or “die cut” can be a great way to stand out on the shelf next to a competitor. Another consideration is if your container is tapered. If it is, send your container to your designer and label provider so they can ensure the design and label fit the container perfectly. ### **Include Essential Information** Product labels must include certain essential information to comply with regulatory requirements. The information required may vary depending on the product and the country of sale, but typically includes the product name, ingredients, net weight or volume, and nutritional information. If your product is governed by the FDA, make sure that your label complies with applicable regulations. More information can be found on [FDA Guidance Documents.](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents) Another consideration is serializing your products with sequential numbering. Many products need to have different markings on them, indicating sell by dates or what item this was in a successive production run. [Variable data printing](https://columbinelabel.com/variable-data-labels/) on your labels is what you’ll need. ### **Branding and Design Essentials** Brand recognition is a major part of label design, make sure to include branding elements such as your logo, tagline, and website address. These elements can help to enhance your product’s brand identity and make it more recognizable to consumers. A good label design grabs your customer’s attention, conveys your brand’s story, and is memorable to the customer. Design elements to keep in mind include; typographic pairing: while you want your label to be interesting too many fonts, sizes, or styles can decrease readability, illustration creativity: is it unique? Does it stand out? And print quality: if the typography and illustrations are amazing but the print is out of register or low quality, it’s the same as tripping right at the finish line. If your product label design is going to be printed on metallic material you will also need to make sure that your designer includes a white layer. For help on how to create a white layer check out our Resource Page: [Building a White Layer](https://columbinelabel.com/white-layer/) ### **Proofread the Label** Before finalizing your label design, it’s crucial to test and proofread the label thoroughly. This includes checking for errors in spelling, grammar, and design elements such as color, font, and alignment. ### **Reach Out** Columbine Label **does not** do any in house design work, but **we can refer you** to professional graphic artists, who can help you create a print ready design.

Colorado native Joey Coleman, founder of KAI CBD, based in Grand Junction, CO, can personally attest to that. An outdoor enthusiast, Coleman was living in Columbia operating a charter sailing business with his wife Kelsey. In 2017, he experienced a terrible crash while paragliding and broke his spine. Coleman underwent an emergency spinal fusion and regained the ability to walk, however, the road to rebuilding strength was long. “Any activity I did, left me in agonizing pain,” Coleman explains. “Every activity except swimming.” He continues, “When I was in the ocean, I was weightless and the pain went away.” The sea, he says, inspired him, pushed him, and ultimately helped heal him. **Going home to new beginnings** Coleman was able to take up all the activities he loved again — hiking, mountain biking, climbing, running – but they left him with back pain, nerve issues, and sleepless nights. “I started looking for an all-natural solution to ease the aches and pains,” says Coleman, “and that led me to CBD.” Within weeks of regular use, he says it reduced his inflammation, improved muscle recovery, his joints no longer ached and he could sleep again. With his brother’s expertise in agriculture and a 40-acre hemp farm in Grand Junction, Coleman returned to Colorado and began formulating what he calls “Nature’s Recipe” of essential oils, organic beeswax, and other natural ingredients paired cohesively with CBD to deliver maximum relief. With a successful formulation in hand, Coleman says “I knew I had to share it with the world.” And, in 2020, KAI CBD was born. **Doing artwork justice; KAI CBD labels** Coleman’s homage to the healing properties of the sea is reflected not only in the company name itself (kai is Hawaiian for “the sea”) but also in the packaging artwork. “My long-time friend Quinn Saine takes photos of ocean sunrises and sunsets with unique long exposures. The result is really stunning photography,” explains Coleman. “I used one of his images in an early label mockup and it just captured our brand perfectly.” To give his friend’s one-of-a-kind artwork the justice it deserves on his line of KAI CBD labels, balms, and oils, Coleman sought the best label print provider in Colorado he could find. “I googled ‘[Colorado label company](https://columbinelabel.com/)’ and Columbine Label came up in the search results. Their web presence really stood out, so I contacted them.” **A sea of satisfaction** Columbine Label did not disappoint. ‘Quinn’s photographs look amazing on the labels. He loves them,” says Coleman. “The text came out really sharp and crisp, too.” Coleman is also pleased that Columbine Label met another of his criteria: “I was looking for a print partner that I could develop an ongoing relationship with; one that was easy to work with and responsive.” He found that through Columbine Label sales representative [Jeff Klocke](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-jeff-klocke/) who Coleman describes as “super responsive and the nicest guy ever.” “If you’re looking for the best label printer, Columbine Label checks all the boxes – quality labels, excellent customer service, competitive pricing. I couldn’t be happier.” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight, Health --- ### [Understanding Die Cutting Tolerances in Product Label Printing](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-die-cutting-tolerances-in-product-label-printing/) **Published:** August 20, 2024 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** When it comes to [product label printing](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/), precision is key. One crucial aspect that ensures the quality and functionality of your labels is a quality die cut. In this blog, we’ll delve into what die cutting is, what tolerances are, why they matter, and how semi-rotary dies work. We’ll also explain the importance of a safe zone, discuss the common issue of uneven borders, and offer recommendations to avoid these pitfalls. ## **What Is Die Cutting?** Die cutting is a fabrication process, used in a variety of industries, that uses specialized tools called dies to cut shapes out of various materials, including paper, plastic, fabric, and metal. In product label printing, this process involves cutting labels into specific shapes and sizes from a larger sheet or roll of material. The process ensures that each label is uniform and fits the design specifications. For labels finished on rolls, dies are precisely made so that the tool cuts through the top face stock, but does not puncture the liner underneath. That is micrometers of precision! ### **There are different types of die cutting used in label printing:** #### Flatbed Die Cutting: Uses a flat die and press to cut the material. It is ideal for small runs and thick materials. Flatbed dies are also used for special process applications like hot stamping and embossing. They are also commonly used for what is known as a metal to metal die cut which cuts through the face stock and the liner leaving behind one individual label or sticker with no liner bordering the print. #### Rotary Die Cutting: ![Kocher and Beck universal flexible metal die](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ai-universal.jpg)[Kocher+Beck Flexible Metal Die](https://www.kocher-beck.com/flexible-dies/) Uses a cylindrical die on a rotary press to cut materials. It is suitable for high-speed, high-volume runs. In order for labels to use rotary die cutting, the die cylinder must align precisely with the length of the print. IE if a label is 8″ long and there is a 0.125″ gap between each label, the die cylinder must have a circumference that is a multiple of 8.125″. #### Semi-Rotary Die Cutting: A variation of rotary die cutting where the die does not complete a full rotation, but instead uses an eye mark to realign with the print after each partial rotation, more on this below. This option offers flexibility and precision for shorter runs. Die cylinders as mentioned above are more expense to purchase and more time consuming to change out than the flexible metal die itself, it is more cost and time effective to use semi-rotary dies on a fixed die cylinder. ### **The die cutting process involves:** 1\. **Design**: Creating a die that matches the desired label shape. 2\. **Setup**: Installing the die on the die cutting machine. At Columbine Label, most orders are cut with semi rotary using a flexible metal die that is magnetically attached to the die cylinder. 3\. **Cutting**: Feeding the material through the machine to cut out the labels. 4\. **Inspection**: Ensuring each label meets the required specifications. Die cutting is essential in label printing because it allows for the creation of intricate shapes and designs that enhance the appearance and functionality of labels. ## **What Are Die Cutting Tolerances?![ABG Die Cutter](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/IMG_8839.jpg)** Die cutting tolerances refer to the acceptable variations in the cut dimensions of a label. These tolerances are necessary because, during the die cutting process, slight shifts can and do occur. These shifts can be due to machine limitations, material properties, or environmental factors. To ensure that the final product meets the desired specifications, printers need to account for these potential variations. ### **The Importance of a Safe Zone** In label design, the safe zone is an area inside the die line where no important elements (like text or logos) should be placed. At [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/), we require a safe zone of 1/16th of an inch on all sides. This margin ensures that even if there is a slight shift during the die cutting process, critical design elements will not be cut off. Here’s why adhering to the safe zone is essential: – **Prevents Cutting Off Important Elements**: Ensuring that no crucial design elements are within the safe zone means that your text, logos, and images remain intact and legible. – **Maintains Design Integrity**: By keeping elements away from the edge, you maintain a clean and professional look, even if there are minor variations in the cut. Other important information about setting up art that is print-ready can be found on our [Art Guidelines](https://columbinelabel.com/art-guidelines/) page. ## **How Semi-Rotary Dies Work** Semi-rotary die cutting is a popular method used in label printing. It involves a flexible die that rotates partially, cutting the label material in a precise pattern. Here’s a brief overview of how it works: 1\. **Setup**: The flexible die is magnetically mounted onto a cylinder. 2\. **Rotation**: As the material moves through the press, the die rotates partially, making the necessary cuts. 3\. **Repetition**: The machine jogs the material and the die back into alignment using the eye mark printed in the margin of the material. Then the process repeats for each label, ensuring consistency and precision. This method is preferred for its ability to handle short runs and quick changeovers, making it ideal for custom label production. ## **The Necessity for Tolerances** Even with advanced technology, there are always slight variations in the die cutting process. Tolerances are essential because they: – **Compensate for Machine Variations**: No machine can cut with perfect precision every time. Tolerances account for these small deviations. – **Ensure Consistency**: By setting tolerances, you ensure that each label meets the minimum quality standards, even if there are minor discrepancies. – **Avoid Waste**: Properly set tolerances help minimize waste by reducing the number of labels that need to be discarded due to imperfections. ## **Avoiding Uneven Borders** One common issue in label printing is uneven borders. This happens because even slight variations in the cutting process can make a solid border appear uneven. Here’s why we recommend against solid borders at the edge of a label: – **Visibility of Tolerances**: Any slight deviation in the cut becomes immediately noticeable with solid borders, making the label look unprofessional. – **Aesthetic Impact**: Uneven borders can detract from the overall design, making the label appear poorly made. Instead, we recommend [designing your labels](https://columbinelabel.com/five-tips-to-engaging-label-designs/) without solid borders at the edges. This approach accommodates the natural variations in the die cutting process, ensuring a cleaner and more professional final product. ## **Conclusion** Understanding and respecting tolerances is essential for producing high-quality product labels. By maintaining a safe zone, understanding the workings of semi-rotary dies, and avoiding solid borders, you can ensure that your labels look professional and meet your design standards.

From the shape of a bottle to the choice of words in an advertisement, businesses use various strategies to capture the attention of consumers and create lasting impressions. One of the most powerful tools in a designer’s arsenal is color. Color psychology plays a crucial role in product label design, influencing consumers’ emotions, perceptions, and ultimately, their purchasing decisions. In this blog, we’ll explore the fascinating world of color psychology and its application in [custom product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels/). ## **Understanding Color Psychology** Color psychology is the study of how colors influence human behavior and emotions. It’s a field that delves into the psychological and emotional responses people have to different colors. These responses are not universal; they can vary greatly across cultures and individuals. Nevertheless, certain colors tend to evoke some common associations and emotions, making them valuable tools for designers. ![PMS Color Book](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Untitled-design-85.png) 1. **Red: Passion and Excitement** - Red is a color associated with energy, passion, and excitement. It’s known to increase heart rate and stimulate appetite. - In product label design, red is often used for products that want to create a sense of urgency or passion, such as energy drinks or spicy foods. 2. **Blue: Trust and Serenity** - Blue is often associated with trust, calmness, and reliability. It can also evoke feelings of security and stability. - Products that aim to convey trustworthiness, like banks or tech companies, often use blue in their branding and label design. 3. **Yellow: Optimism and Cheerfulness** - Yellow is a color that exudes optimism and cheerfulness. It’s known to stimulate mental activity and create a sense of happiness. - Many food products, especially snacks and candies, use yellow in their labels to convey a sense of joy and delight. 4. **Green: Nature and Freshness** - Green is strongly associated with nature, growth, and freshness. It often symbolizes health and wellness. - Organic and eco-friendly products often incorporate green into their label design to emphasize their natural qualities. 5. **Black: Sophistication and Elegance** - Black is often linked to sophistication, elegance, and luxury. It can create a sense of exclusivity. - High-end brands, like designer clothing and luxury cosmetics, frequently use black in their labels to convey a premium image. 6. **Purple: Creativity and Royalty** - Purple is associated with creativity, imagination, and royalty. It can be both calming and inspiring. - Beauty products and artistic brands often use purple in their label design to evoke a sense of creativity and luxury. 7. **Orange: Energy and Warmth** - Orange is a color that radiates energy, warmth, and enthusiasm. It’s often seen as friendly and approachable. - Products aimed at a young and vibrant audience often use orange in their labels to connect with these qualities. 8. **Pink: Femininity and Playfulness** - Pink is commonly associated with femininity, playfulness, and tenderness. It can evoke feelings of affection and warmth. - Products targeting a predominantly female audience, such as cosmetics or fashion, often use pink in their label design. For an even more in depth analysis of colors and hues check out [Colorpsychology.org](https://www.colorpsychology.org/) ## **Applying Color Psychology in Product Label Design** Now that we have a basic understanding of the emotions and associations linked to various colors, let’s explore how this knowledge can be applied in product label design. 1. **Target Audience Analysis**: Before selecting colors for a product label, it’s crucial to understand the target audience’s preferences and emotions. For example, if you are designing a label for a children’s toy, bright and playful colors like red, yellow, or blue may be appropriate. In contrast, a label for a high-end perfume might benefit from a more subdued color palette, like black and gold. 2. **Brand Identity**: Consider the personality and values of your brand. The chosen colors should align with your [brand’s identity](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels-give-your-products-a-distinctive-identity/). For instance, if your brand promotes eco-friendliness and sustainability, green or earthy tones would be a good fit. 3. **Color Combinations**: It’s not just about the individual color but also how colors interact with each other. Complementary or harmonious color schemes can make a label more visually appealing. Analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) can create a sense of unity, while complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel) can provide contrast and excitement. 4. **Contrast and Readability**: Ensure that the text on your label is easily readable. High contrast between the background color and text color is essential for legibility. For example, white text on a dark background or vice versa is a classic choice. 5. **Cultural Considerations**: Be aware of cultural differences in color symbolism. Colors can have vastly different meanings in various cultures. For example, white symbolizes purity in Western cultures but is associated with mourning in some Asian cultures. Avoid using colors that may be offensive or misinterpreted in your target market. 6. **Emotional Impact**: Think about the emotional response you want to evoke. If you’re marketing a relaxation beverage, soothing colors like blue and green would be more appropriate than vibrant reds or oranges. Conversely, a label for an adrenaline-pumping sports drink might benefit from energetic colors. ## **Case Studies** Let’s examine a few real-world examples of how color psychology has been applied in product label design to great effect: 1. **Coca-Cola**: - Coca-Cola’s iconic red label is synonymous with energy and excitement. The brand has successfully associated its product with joy and celebration through its consistent use of red. 2. **Apple**: - Apple’s minimalist design ethos often features a clean, white background with sleek metallic accents. This choice of colors conveys simplicity, sophistication, and innovation. 3. **Whole Foods Market**: - Whole Foods uses a predominantly green color scheme to emphasize its commitment to organic and natural products. This choice aligns with consumers’ expectations for healthy and eco-conscious choices. 4. **Tiffany & Co.**: - The luxurious Tiffany Blue is instantly recognizable and associated with elegance and high-end jewelry. The color is so iconic that it’s even protected by trademark. 5. **Dove**: - Dove, a brand known for its skincare products, employs soft and gentle shades of white and pastel colors in its label design. This choice reflects the brand’s commitment to nurturing and caring for the skin. Color psychology is a powerful tool in product label design. When used effectively, it can influence consumers’ emotions, perceptions, and purchasing decisions. By carefully considering the target audience, brand identity, and cultural factors, designers can create labels that not only look appealing but also convey the desired message and emotion. As you venture into the world of product label design, remember that the choice of colors is just one piece of the puzzle. It should work in harmony with other design elements and the overall brand strategy. When executed thoughtfully, color psychology can enhance the visual impact of your product label and leave a lasting impression on consumers.

Businesses are now able to produce high-quality, full-color labels in small quantities at an affordable cost. Variable data capabilities have further expanded the possibilities of digital label printing, creating an ideal solution for companies that want to produce personalized labels for different products, promotions, or events. ![Variable Data Bar Codes](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-46.png) ## **What is Variable Data Label Printing?** Variable data printing refers to the ability to print different text, graphics, or images on each label in a print run, all sequentially. What appears in one print may not appear in the next. A couple getting married may use this for their envelopes. Every wedding invite recipient has a unique envelope printed, but the return address remains the same. This type of printing allows businesses to produce labels with different information on each one, such as unique serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, consecutive numbering, or personalized messages. This feature is particularly useful for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics, where labeling requirements can vary based on product type, batch, or regulatory compliance. Variable data printing also enables businesses to create targeted marketing campaigns by printing labels with different designs, slogans, or offers based on customer demographics, preferences, or behaviors. ## **How is Consecutive Numbering used?** Consecutive numbering is another critical feature of variable data printing that enables businesses to keep track of inventory, track shipments, or authenticate products. Consecutive numbering involves assigning a unique number to each label in sequential order, starting from a predefined number and incrementing by a fixed value. This process ensures that each label is unique and can be traced back to its origin, making it an effective tool for product identification, quality control, or brand protection. ## **Digital Technology Makes it Possible** Digital label printing technology offers several advantages over traditional printing methods when it comes to variable data labels. Firstly, digital printing does not require plates or screens, making it easy to change the design or information on each label without incurring additional costs. Secondly, digital printing allows for precise registration, which means that each label is printed exactly where it needs to be, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the print run. Finally, digital printing offers fast turnaround times, allowing businesses to produce customized labels quickly and efficiently, even for small orders. Learn more on our page [about our digital label printing service](https://columbinelabel.com/digital-printing/). Variable data printing offers businesses a range of benefits, including flexibility, customization, and traceability. These features enable businesses to produce [high-quality labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels/) that meet their specific needs while also improving efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing brand recognition. With the rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sales, digital label printing is becoming increasingly important for businesses looking to stand out in a crowded marketplace and build customer loyalty. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [What's Involved in the Foil Stamp Printing Process?](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamp-printing-process/) **Published:** May 28, 2024 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** There’s no doubt shiny objects catch our attention. A new penny on the ground. The chrome trim on a classic car. A diamond engagement ring. You can add products with foil stamped labels to that list, too. Whether consumers are shopping in-store or online, the reflective glint of a foil stamped label is guaranteed to not only attract attention but also convey a level of quality and sophistication sought out by shoppers. So why should you seek out a [foil stamped label printing service](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamped-labels/)? ## What is foil stamping? Hot Foil stamping is a specialty printing process that uses heat and pressure to transfer a design onto the label material with foil film rather than ink. In this process, an engraved metal die or plate is created in the shape of the desired foil effect on the label design. The plate is heated and stamped against the label material with a thin metallic foil film in between. The heat and pressure bond the foil to the label substrate producing the metallic effect. Like hot foil stamping, cold foil stamping uses an engraved plate that transfers the thin foil film to the paper or film substrate. However, cold foil stamping requires adhesive for the foil to stick. In cold foil stamping, the finished image lays flat against the material whereas hot foil has a slightly raised feel. Foil stamping is often used in conjunction with embossing which creates a three-dimensional effect that elevates the look and feel of a custom label design. ## What foil stamp effects are available? When this [gilded technique](https://www.labelsandlabeling.com/features/ll-turns-40-foil-stamping-label-printing) was first used in the early days of printing to embellish the designs and calligraphy on expensive books and![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/CM_Amaretto_Liquor_S-62x300.png) important manuscripts, the process used real gold leaf. Today, metallic foils are made of aluminum or tin, and often combined with a colored layer to create a wide range of materials for the foil stamping process. This includes metallic foils in gold, silver, copper, rose gold, and other colors; holographic foils; pearl foils; pigment foils; and other specialty foils. Of these, metallic is the most widely used. They are also available in different finishes, gloss or matte. While foil stamping can be done on an entire label design, it is typically used to highlight specific aspects of the label design, such as the product name or logo. For impactful and unique designs, foil stamping can be used with contrasting substrates, such as textured papers, films, matte silver foil, or matte black material. Because foil material is opaque, the color of the foil remains the same regardless of the type or color of material onto which it is stamped. ## What types of packaging and products can foil stamping be Used on? This specialty printing technique is a high-impact effect that is accessible to any consumer-packaged goods producer. That’s because labels featuring a foil stamp can be used on any shape label (custom or standard) and applied to any packaging shape or application material. Foil stamping is especially popular with the wine and spirits industry, health and beauty, and CBD products because it helps brands achieve an eye-catching, high-end image. ## Tips for designing foil stamped labels To achieve the optimum results of foil stamping in your label design, there are a few important design considerations for the artwork: - Vector art: Designs intended for hot foil stamping must be created as vector artwork rather than bitmap or raster art. In order to get proper measurements on the line weights, art must be supplied at 100%. - No shading or gradients: Because of the nature of the hot foil stamping process, shading and gradients are not possible. Foil stamping can only be applied as 100% values. - Size matters: Type that is foil stamped appears bolder than it does when printed in ink. For this reason, avoid using foil stamping on small or thin fonts, intricate design elements, hairlines, or a foil stroke added to small type or objects. It also helps to increase kerning and leading to the typography to enhance legibility. The minimum line weight is .003. The minimum reversed area is .007. - Finish with a finishing touch: Foil stamped labels can be enhanced with additional finishing touches such as [emboss](https://columbinelabel.com/how-embossed-printing-can-make-your-labels-stand-out/) or varnish. - Foil Isn’t Everything: Don’t bank on just the foil to catch someone’s eyes. Consider coloring, shape, materials and other variables before ordering is most advised.

After all, change can be painful, and if everything was going well with their current label provider, there would be no need to source a new one. And generally, we know without even asking that the problem they’re experiencing most likely is one of three issues (I’ll get to those in a minute). But we really want to hear it in their own words first. Before applying our knowledge, experience, and capabilities right out of the gate, we ask our customers to spend a few minutes and share their specific pain points from their perspective. The last thing we want to do is duplicate the issues they’re trying to remedy by talking with [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/)! We get right down to finding the solutions that are right for them. ## **Top 3 print issues** We’ve been in this business long enough to know the top three problems customers have with their printed labels are: 1.) color drift, 2.) quality, and 3.) missed deadlines. Sometimes it’s just one of those. Often they’re experiencing all three. Let’s take a quick look at each: ### ***Color drift:*** For marketers of consumer-packaged goods, product label and packaging is **everything**. A quality eye-catching label can make or break a product. In fact, studies have shown that 67 percent of purchases are made on impulse with product selections made in less than 8 seconds! With consumer appeal and brand identity so closely intertwined, a product label has to look great **consistently**. This is where printers can run into trouble. Without an expert eye and attention to quality by the press operator, color drift can occur during a print run resulting in color inconsistencies, often quite dramatic and noticeable. Unacceptable in the cut-throat world of consumer marketing where 93 percent of consumers say visual appearance is the most important factor in choosing a product. Not to mention that color drift is said to be the number one problem in printing today, and one that without proper tools and understanding can be difficult to control. ### ***Quality***: Color drift greatly diminishes quality. So can issues related to the selection of label material, adhesive, or other components that are poorly suited for the application, packaging process, or product use and environment. Customers turned off by poor quality at the point of purchase are almost impossible to win back. ### ***Missed deadlines:*** This is a big one. Customers are often burned by print providers that overpromise and underdeliver. The promise may be well-meaning or the means to win a sale, but it’s never a winning solution. Missed printing deadlines impact packaging production schedules and delivery dates for customers counting on promises made. ### **Solving problems** We’re in the business of problem-solving as much as we are in the business of printing. And we love doing both. To avoid color drift issues, our press operators are highly skilled at press measurement, adjustment, and maintenance. With every job, they make ongoing adjustments to the press to compensate for their impact on the final print and ensure color consistency from start to finish, and from run to run. Other problems of quality are addressed upfront before art files are ever submitted or a proof ever approved. It all comes back to that critical listening step we take in our first conversation with the customer. By understanding every detail of the customers’ final product, from packaging specs and the application process to the end-use, our representatives are able to recommend a solution that meets every need. As for deadlines, we’re tracking 97.32 percent on on-time and early shipments since 2015. That’s because we know what it takes to get the job done, and done right. We strive to live up to our mantra: “We do what we say we’ll do.” I thought this recent testimony from a customer put it quite nicely “Columbine is so quick on the turnaround. And if there’s an issue, they’re Johnny-on-the-spot to fix it.” So, if you’re having label printing issues, I suggest you contact a Johnny-on-the-spot that loves to solve problems. I know just where you can find one. Editor’s note: you can find an updated “Problems We Solve” page [here](https://columbinelabel.com/problems-we-solve/).

But we’re here to tell you: yeah, actually they are – when it comes to consumer products. According to one source now lost to the internet (Kissmetrics), a whopping 93 percent of consumers ranked the product’s visual appearance as the most important factor in selection for purchase. That means prime labels – the front-of-the-package graphic – have ***tremendous*** power. The power to attract. The power to engage. The power to connect. The power to influence a purchase. The power to define your brand. As a marketer of consumer products, you want to harness that power and use it to attract consumers to your products and help you stand out in an overcrowded field of competing options. To fully unleash a label’s power, however, requires unwavering label excellence on multiple levels. In the world of prime labels, all are not created equal. The differences come down to one thing: quality. **Quality starts with three factors** What exactly does “quality” mean when it comes to labels? On a high level, quality labels are defined by three primary factors: - **Print quality:** Colors, consistency, registration, image fidelity, scuff + moisture resistance. - **Material selection:** Facestock material, adhesive selection, topcoats or laminates - **Application:** Smooth, seamless, centered labels that do not lift or peel prematurely Why is this so important? Well, because [our president said so](https://columbinelabel.com/from-our-president-problems-we-love-to-solve/), but also because prime labels are THE ONE marketing vehicle that consumer brands need to get just right, with a laser focus on producing high-quality labels each and every time. Done well, prime labels deliver results. And that result isn’t just a glance. It’s a ‘put that in the basket, we’re taking it home’ sort of result that many of us vy for. The proof lies in a few key consumer product labeling trends that underscore the fact that the primary label is – and must be – the real workhorse of revenue generation: **Why labels are a revenue workhorse** **1. The ever-increasing number of consumer products:** According to [one Harvard study](https://hbr.org/2011/04/why-most-product-launches-fail), each year 30,000 new consumer products are introduced. Of those new entrants, around 80 percent of them fail during their introductory year. The major reason? Inadequate and ineffective marketing, most notably rooted in poor consumer awareness during the first year. It is progressively tougher to stand out in an already crowded field of competing – and continually expanding – choices. **2. The extraordinary impact of visual appeal and color:** Eye appeal matters. It matters a lot. A key factor in visually swaying consumer choice is color – a reported 85 percent of consumer perceptions and decisions are swayed by color. Colors activate our perceptions and, in consumer minds, craft specific ideas about a product’s attributes then believed as “fact”. Optimizing the color and aesthetic characteristics of a prime label can alter consumer perception of product quality, performance, taste, smell, and safety. **3. The role of last-minute impulse in consumer product selection:** Ever stopped at the store to pick up a few items and left with a few extra goodies, not on your list? You’re not alone! Consumers make retail-buying decisions on impulse. A mere one-third of consumer retail purchases are pre-planned, making impulse the primary driver for 67 percent of purchases, according to one source. Additionally, those impulsive consumer-buying decisions are made in less than 8 seconds. This is a remarkably slim window of opportunity for brands, retailers, and primary product labels to stand out and make an impression that matters. **Applying the concept** So now that we’ve removed all doubt about the power of labels, it’s time to apply the concept. Appealing visuals need the proper form and function for optimum performance. They require attention to many details as well as proper supply chain partnerships that incessantly obsess about quality each and every day. Product containers include a wide range of materials and types such as glass, plastic, metal, and coated paper in the form of bottles, cans, vials, and more. To complicate matters even further, containers are highly varied in shape and size, such as straight, curved, double curved, rectangular, and round and beyond. These seemingly endless options and potential combinations make the prime label’s job a challenging one. These variations drive considerations such as design, fit, label /facestock properties, adhesive selection, and many others. Furthermore, label selection and design factors such as resistance to humidity, temperature variations, scuff and scratch resistance, as well as bottle or packaging materials, shapes, sizes, and surface textures all play an important role in crafting a consumer product label that performs throughout product usage. In prime labeling, there is no one-size-fits-all or generic labeling solution. Using the help of a label expert to select the proper components and apt label technology, whether it’s pressure-sensitive labels or shrink sleeve labels – is a crucial step in achieving proper label appearance and performance. **Looks matter – use it or lose it.** When done properly, labels are a powerful path to purchase, helping to win consumers’ eyes, hearts, minds, and wallets. Regardless of the label technology used, the visual appearance, colors, and quality of the label must be pristine on each and every package, every single time. The bottom line is that consumer-facing [product labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-labels/), from appropriate material selection to printing, production, application, overall quality, and end-use, are high-impact marketing tools that can make or break ROI. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Ryan Jackson](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-ryan-jackson/) **Published:** May 29, 2024 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## **Keeping busy with business development** [Ryan Jackson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-jackson-048521b2), much like his sister Rachel, has printing in his blood. It should come as no surprise as both are the offspring of Greg Jackson, CEO of Columbine Label Company. While Rachel serves as vice president of operations, Ryan is vice president of business development. It’s a role that suits him well. Ryan cut his teeth in the family business as an “odd jobs” employee during high school and over the summer break from college at [Kansas State](https://www.k-state.edu/) where he earned his degree in business management. Prior to joining Columbine Label in April 2021, he served as an outside sales representative in Florida and Georgia for a material supplier for four years. ### **Past experience meets future opportunities** “I’m working in all different areas of the business right now to find ways to be more efficient and develop new business opportunities,” Ryan explains. “In my previous job, I visited nearly every print organization in Florida which gave me a greater understanding of how people run their business.” He gives credit for his own management style to his former boss and, of course, his father. Ryan sees great potential in [shrink sleeves](https://columbinelabel.com/shrink-sleeves/) to keep up with the craft beer demand and other businesses with products in bottles and cans. “We’re working on bringing the latest and greatest to our shrink sleeve line,” he notes. “We are focusing on printing, seeming, and application all in-house, which not a lot of other printers can do.” ### **The perks of working with family** For Ryan, working with his father and sister is a plus. “It’s nice to have people you can depend on professionally that you also have a personal relationship with.” He admits it’s not always easy, but says they typically have a good time together. “We definitely have similar mannerisms.” Ryan also enjoys working with the extended [Columbine Label family](https://columbinelabel.com/about-us/), many of whom have worked for the company for 20 years and he’s known since he was a child. ### **Setting and meeting expectations** Ryan is committed to continually providing the quality and service his father has built over the last two decades. “Our goal is to deliver a quality product in a timely manner that meets our customers’ expectations. We place a big emphasis on doing what we say we’re going to do.” It’s a family tradition that Ryan looks to continue for many years to come. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Jeff Klocke](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-jeff-klocke/) **Published:** May 29, 2024 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **Jeff Klocke on Knowing the sign of a good label** When [Jeff ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-klocke-b25349b7/)joined Columbine Label Company in 2016 as a sales representative, he says, “The role called upon my strengths in the right environment.” He had found his calling. Indeed, all of Jeff Klocke’s work experiences up to that point served as skill-set steppingstones to his career with Columbine Label. **Doing business with a pro** His brief stint at a commercial offset print company in his early 20s was foundational and foreshadowed his professional future. Owning his own window and gutter service company gave him first-hand insights into being a business owner. Working in sales in a death care business, while not the right career fit for him, helped Jeff strengthen his gift for connecting with people. It was his experience as a sales manager for a large sign company, however, that gave him the expertise and insights to excel in the custom label printing industry. “Labels are small signs for your product,” explains Jeff. “Like the sign industry, consumer packaged goods companies have a limited amount of time to get our attention with their label.” “When you’re driving down the road, signs that are big, bright, and professional will stand out. If you’re walking down an aisle in the grocery store, the products with labels that jump out at you and look professional are the ones you will most likely notice and buy.” Jeff notes that consumers all want to do business with professional companies. If a product’s label (or signage) is subpar, buyers are turned off. **Collaborating, problem-solving** In addition to using his keen understanding of the power of product labels, Jeff likes to collaborate with the Columbine Label team to offer customers the best solutions for their needs. “I love solving problems and helping customers add value to their business,” Jeff says. “We have a team with so much talent under one roof, it’s a great team to be a part of. By working together, we’re able to develop long-term partnerships with our customers. They become part of the Columbine Label family.” **Easing pain points** As a sales representative, Jeff says keeping customers happy comes down to how much pain they are in and how he can them resolve it. “I try to make things painless for them.” He adds, “Our customers want consistently high-quality labels. And they’re always facing deadlines. They need a print partner who listens to them and provides the right solutions.” **Mastering industry idiosyncrasies** Jeff’s industry niches at Columbine Label include contact with purveyors of craft beer, wine, THC, and CBD in Colorado, California, and as far as Maine. Each industry, and area, has its own distinctive requirements and regulations that Jeff makes a point to master. [Craft beer labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/), among many other things, have regional laws for labeling. Forgoing important messages, nutritional info, or otherwise could have large impacts on the business served. “CBD is a growing market segment and shrink sleeve is very popular with these products,” observes Jeff. “Players in both CBD and THC are looking for ways to set themselves apart.” Because Columbine Label offers custom and specialty printing capabilities, such as silver and metallic labels, [foiling](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamped-labels/), and custom dies, they can help customers add pizzazz to their labels to achieve that goal. For Jeff Klocke and [Columbine Label Company](https://columbinelabel.com/), that’s a sure sign of success. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [Local Manufacturing: Boosting Economies, Empowering Communities](https://columbinelabel.com/local-manufacturing-boosting-economies-empowering-communities/) **Published:** March 11, 2024 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In recent years, there has been a growing interest in supporting local businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector. This trend is not just about nostalgia for a bygone era; it’s rooted in a deeper understanding of the benefits that local manufacturing brings to communities and economies. In this blog, we’ll explore the advantages of local manufacturing, the positives of working for a small business versus a large corporation, and dispel the myth that small or local always means higher costs. ## **Boosting the Local Economy** One of the most significant benefits of local manufacturing is its positive impact on the local economy. Small businesses can be a [major driver in a local economy](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/03/25/how-small-businesses-drive-the-american-economy/?sh=122a29741699). When products are manufactured locally, the money spent on them stays within the community, circulating and creating a multiplier effect. This means more money for local businesses, more jobs for residents, and ultimately, a more prosperous community. ## **Innovative Solutions and Customization** Small businesses are often more agile and responsive to customer needs than large corporations. [Columbine Label](https://columbinelabel.com/about-us/) exemplifies this trait by offering [innovative solutions](https://columbinelabel.com/specialty-printing/) and customization options that larger companies may struggle to provide. Whether it’s bringing in custom inks or materials specifically for your product or offering special services like will call pick up for orders, Columbine Label goes the extra mile to meet its customers’ needs. ## **Positives of Working for a Small Business** Working for a small business can offer a range of benefits that are often not found in large corporations. One of the most significant advantages is the sense of community and camaraderie that often exists in small businesses. Employees are more likely to know and interact with their colleagues, fostering a supportive work environment. Additionally, small businesses often offer more opportunities for advancement and career growth. In a small company, employees may have the chance to take on a variety of roles and responsibilities, which can be both challenging and rewarding. One of the key advantages of working for a small business like Columbine Label is the personal touch and flexibility it offers. Unlike large corporations where you might feel like just another cog in the machine, small businesses often provide a more intimate work environment where your contributions are valued and recognized. Employees at Columbine Label are part of a team, where their ideas and input are essential to the company’s success. ## **Dispelling the Myth of Higher Costs** Contrary to popular belief, buying local or from small businesses [does not always mean paying higher prices](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/). In fact, small businesses like Columbine Label can often offer competitive pricing thanks to lower overheads and a more efficient operation. By supporting local manufacturing, you’re not only getting a quality product but also contributing to the sustainability of your local economy. One example of a small business that offers competitive pricing is Columbine Label. Despite being a local manufacturer, Columbine Label is able to offer additional benefits such as will call pick up for orders, saving customers time and money on shipping. This, along with their commitment to quality and customer service, makes Columbine Label a prime example of how small businesses can compete with larger corporations on both price and service. In conclusion, local manufacturing plays a vital role in boosting economies, empowering communities, and providing meaningful employment opportunities. By supporting local businesses like Columbine Label, consumers can help create a more vibrant and resilient economy while enjoying the benefits of high-quality products and personalized service. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Scott LaFrance](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-scott-lafrance/) **Published:** January 27, 2023 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Scott LaFrance, a Colorado native and chocolate connoisseur, has joined the Columbine Label team as an account manager. Not only is Scott a true Colorado native, but you are also working with someone who has previously won “Best Fudge in Colorado” a whopping FIVE times while working with his mother in the family’s candy company. Born and raised in Westminster, earned his bachelor’s degree in business and administration from the University of Colorado Denver. Scott is a problem solver. A lover of all genres of music (only the good stuff), and a mechanically inclined individual who loves working with his hands, sometimes helping on a ranch, building computers, working on cars and motorcycles, and even helping family and friends with home remodeling and landscape projects. “I am putting ALL my knowledge and skills to use to be an effective account manager for Columbine Label, doing my best to find practical solutions for the needs of any company”, says Scott, “whether that is something we will provide for them, or I turn them in the direction of another provider that I know will be better suited for their needs”. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/20210404_142509-300x225.jpg) His first car was an 87 Cadillac Fleetwood, and he aspires to build one in the coming years (might build it to be electric). He is SCUBA certified, loves fishing, video games, trying new food, reading, hiking, crocheting, canoeing, cooking, volunteering, relaxing, and spending time with his wife (a medical assistant) and two cats. “Someday I’d like to retire to the Oregon coast, or Japan to fish/crab”, says Scott, “although going back to school just to learn new and interesting topics is appealing”. His favorite subjects are biological anthropology, psychopharmacology, and biological basis psychology. As a previous freight broker for both small and large trucking companies, freight was fun but really wanted to do something new and wanted to look for a change of pace. Constantly learning new skills is appealing to Scott. “I always want to learn something new, and always be doing something different every day, and Columbine Label provides just that”, he says. “Every account is unique in their needs and the products they produce and I’m learning something new every single day!”. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Moria Calamia](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-moria-calamia/) **Published:** January 13, 2023 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Meet Moria! Essentially a Colorado native since she was merely two weeks old when her family moved here from California. Moria has lived in Colorado for most of her life, though she has fond memories of a short stint living in New Hampshire as a young child. Although label printing is new to Moria, she is diving in with both feet. Quickly grasping the inner workings of narrow web printing and what makes Columbine Label a high-quality label printer. Growing up, she was the youngest of 5 children with the other 4 being boys. Married for almost 21 years with two teenage children, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. Prior to finding Columbine Label, Moria spent the last year putting her culinary background to use, helping her brother (and his wife) open a tap room in Windsor, Colorado. While traveling she swam a Cenote in Mexico. Cenotes are natural swimming holes formed when limestone collapses, revealing a hidden pool of water. She says this was one of her favorite experiences. It was lined with bats (which she absolutely loves) and even had a couple of cave spiders, which she avoided at all costs! “Being able to snorkel the cenote and see the formations underneath was one of the most surreal moments I’ve had”, said Moria. “We even turned all the lights off at one part and were in complete darkness and silence, it was eerie and beautiful.” ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EmployeeSpotlight_Moria-Calamia-300x225.jpg) When asked how she ended up at Columbine Label, Moria said “I wanted a job that understood work-life balance, something that had variety in the day-to-day tasks but still allowed me to use the customer service skills I have acquired through life”. Upon meeting with Greg, and the team, she determined she would find exactly what she was looking for, including a company that felt more like family than a corporation. It is no surprise that Moria loves to cook. Outside of Columbine Label, she enjoys fashion, running, hiking, traveling, and spending as much time with her kids and husband as possible. Together her family enjoys board games, movies, or series that interest them all. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Erin Parker](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-erin-parker/) **Published:** August 22, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## From press operator to problem solver After running press equipment, pre-press, customer support, estimating, account development, and customer service for 30 years, Erin Parker says she is “well-equipped to help customers find the right path forward to achieve what they are looking for because I understand the best way to produce it as well.” As Columbine Label Company’s customer support manager, Erin describes her hands-on experience as a press operator as both rewarding and beneficial to her customer-facing role today. ### Girl power at the presses Prior to joining Columbine Label Company in 2017, Erin was a press operator at another large printing company with many women involved in the operation, including running the presses. She says she found running the flexographic presses to be some of her most rewarding jobs. “They offered a different challenge every day,” she explains. “Some days were hard, some days the machine won, and some days I won. But it was never boring! I enjoyed getting my hands dirty and working through the challenges, most days. I also worked with some incredible people who mentored and guided me as I learned how to print and operate the presses.” One of her best mentors was her husband. “He taught me so much about printing. I still talk a lot of things through with him.” ### Putting press experience to work on the customer side At Columbine Label Company, Erin fields a wide variety of customer calls. Sometimes it’s from someone who’s starting a business and looking for information on packaging and labels and she’s happy to educate them. For calls from existing customers, Erin is sure to do her homework first. “I start by doing a little research on the order, so I know exactly what they have received. If there’s an issue at our end, I let them express their concerns without interruption. Then I start asking them questions and we talk through how we are going to fix it and, most importantly, why it happened so we don’t repeat it.” She notes, “My experience as an operator can come in to play there as well. If it is a tolerance issue, for example, I can speak to that and sometimes I’m helping them to understand why that happened. Most customers have no idea how we achieve a die cut and why it may be out of tolerance. Some don’t care and just want it fixed, while others appreciate understanding why it happened. Sometimes they even ask, ‘Is there anything I can do with my art to help stay within tolerance?’ Those are my dream customer calls! They are curious and want to help me help them.” ### Professional problem solver Helping customers is a big source of pride and job satisfaction for Erin. “I enjoy helping customers get the right product for their project,” Erin states. “If they have problems, it’s always nice when you can solve that problem for them. In my role, it’s important to understand exactly what is happening in daily operations. At Columbine Label, it’s very easy for me and the production manager to communicate every day about nearly every order if we need to. I enjoy the small office and teamwork. We always stand by our work and our commitment to our customers. It’s a family-owned business and the Jackson family are good people!” ### Printer’s best friend In addition to its consistently high early/on-time shipments and quality index metrics, Columbine Label Company is also known for its love of man’s best friend. Erin says, “Some of my best memories here have been the days when we have employees’ and customers’ dogs in the office. They provide a nice distraction.” Erin’s own dog, Lillian, was a Columbine Label Company favorite until she passed from cancer last year. “I now have Maggie Mae and she is CRAZY, but I love her. I haven’t brought her to the office because she spreads chaos everywhere she goes,” laughs Erin. But if she is as skilled at training a puppy as she is at handling printing presses and customer calls. Erin will turn Maggie Mae into a beloved officemate in no time. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [9 Reasons Why Label Proofs Matter](https://columbinelabel.com/9-reasons-why-label-proofs-matter/) **Published:** April 11, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## PDF Label Proof vs. Physical label Proof The method of emailing PDF files for approval of a label proof has been adopted by printers for decades. This method will show how art appears on a monitor, is universally accepted, and works great in many circumstances including re-prints or minor text revisions. Your printer should have systems in place to measure and track color and [color consistency](https://columbinelabel.com/color-consistent-labels/) from run to run. However, there are limitations to proofing print jobs with digital PDF files. ### Proof Label Color Output The most common mistake seen in the print industry is art files that are built in the wrong format for the print method. RGB (red, green blue) files work for websites, online advertising, and essentially anything that will be viewed through a screen or monitor. An [RGB file](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-stop-your-rgb-file-from-being-doa-at-the-printer-2/) will not create the same output on physical print (even if printed using RGB colors). This is because the RGB format deals with the mixing of different colors of light, whereas the standard print format, CMYK (cyan, yellow, magenta, black), deals with the mixing of inks or toners. Converting from an RGB file to a CMYK file is not always a 1 to 1 swap. If the color does not convert well for printing in CMYK, the result could be a color that is washed out or even an unexpected shade. This is where press proofs come in! A physical press proof is a small run of your labels that is used to show the print color and quality that you can expect from an order. #### 1. Label Design Elements and Layers It’s not unheard of for design elements to show up perfectly clear on-screen, yet not translate well to print. This could be due to many factors, including but not limited to RBG file format. Here is a small list of additional considerations: - Color contrast that is too high or too low; too subtle or not subtle enough - White ink layers are incorrect or missing (especially important when printing on silver or clear labels material) - Corner radius – square-cornered elements might not look great on round-cornered labels - Label fit to the actual container (a physical proof can be cut out and tested) - Gradient – too low contrast or shows hard lines - Print-to-print registration - Background too dark or too light - Missing elements due to missing fonts, i.e., barcodes and QR Codes *(Download this checklist to help you proof your next label proof)* ### 2. Testing With a press proof in hand, scanning barcodes and QR codes will provide definitive results. UPC codes and [barcodes that do not scan](https://www.barcodefaq.com/knowledge-base/fonts-distorted/) properly can cause problems with retailers, leading to additional fees, or fines, but more importantly, can cost that premium shelf space you worked so hard to acquire. ### 3. Proof Label Orientation on Roll One often overlooked specification of label printing is the direction the label comes off the roll; also known as the unwind direction {link to unwind direction chart}. This is particularly important for automatic label applications. Let’s just say life is so much easier when the unwind direction is correct. Everything just moves along as it should. ### 4. Final Chance to Proofread The meaning “press-ready” implies that the files have previously been reviewed and are approved for the printing process. Press-ready files![Label Proof](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Label-Proof-blog-inner-image-251x300.png) are not manipulated by the printer unless the request is made for specific changes. The reason your press-ready art file is proofed is to ensure your art file translates properly on our end. Take this time to check over your label with a fine-tooth comb. Customers have been known to catch these “opportunities”: - Misspelled words - Missing fonts - Incorrect barcode - Missing barcode - Compare Alternate Materials Art files are generally created on a white background with specifications to print on silver or clear material. The best attempt at simulating different backgrounds does not compare to the real thing. A physical proof will displace doubt and give you full confidence that your labels are exactly how you had imagined! ### 7. Removes Risk Quality is a valid concern. Especially when using a new vendor or printing a new label. A physical proof will give you the confidence to know the labels you are waiting for are exactly what you expect them to be. Nothing removes risk like knowledge and confidence. ### 8. Save Money A great print provider will stand behind their work when they make a mistake. However, when a digital PDF file is proofed and approved, or the mistake is in the provided art file, the chances of having to pay for a second print run are high. This is being said through experience and the deepest concern for all customers; It is true to your benefit to review a physical press proof. ### 9.

Stop by the office of our marketing director, [Bernadette Ortiz](/print-custom-labels/). She has three entire bookshelves stocked with printed label samples to showcase Columbine Label’s wide-ranging capabilities and expertise. It’s also her way of drawing people into her office to chat. But Bernadette doesn’t need any tricks to get customers, vendors, or co-workers to engage with her. She is an absolute dynamo at Columbine Label, managing everything from the company’s website, digital marketing, trade shows, and sponsorships to its safety and sustainability programs. **28+ years in the making** Bernadette didn’t come by this label and printing expertise overnight. It has been 28 years in the making, a journey that began in 1994 when she moved to Colorado from her hometown of Santa Fe, NM, to take an inside sales position at Press-On Label. It was here that she first met Greg Jackson, now president of Columbine Label, who was a sales representative with sticky paper giant Fasson and called on Press-On Label. Little did she know their paths would cross again in a significant way years later. With seven years of label experience under her belt, in 2001 Bernadette seized an opportunity to help start a new label company, Lightning Label, with one of her largest clients. As a business partner and vice president of sales with the new company, Bernadette (in true Bernadette fashion) also immersed herself in learning other facets of the business, receiving operator training on their large digital printing press and a Rotoflex die-cutter, as well as managing vendor relationships. **Columbine Label comes calling** Two years later, a familiar name re-emerged. Bernadette re-connected with Greg Jackson, who had recently purchased Columbine Label Company, and was given the opportunity to join the company as manager for the rewind QC department in 2003. “The way Greg tells the story,” she explains, “he knew when he bought Columbine Label that he wanted me to work for him, it just took a while for me to realize this is where I belonged.” It was the beginning of her many varied, valuable, and ongoing contributions to the company. She quickly moved on to sales where, again with her insatiable appetite to learn more and do more, Bernadette took on Columbine Label’s involvement in trade shows and sponsorships. This proved instrumental in raising awareness of the company in specific markets such as craft beer and food-related products. **Conquering a new role…** With this taste of marketing success, Bernadette convinced Greg to let her form a marketing department for Columbine Label. Knowing she needed to know more to do the job right, Bernadette put herself through school, earning an associate degree in business and administration, then a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis on marketing. She is currently working on a master’s degree in marketing at Regis University. It’s no wonder that if you asked Greg Jackson to describe Bernadette, he would say she’s a continual learner. Columbine’s Chief Operating Officer Rick Moss calls her tenacious. We’d say they’re both spot-on. **…and yet another crucial role** If you want something done, ask a busy person. In other words, ask Bernadette. That’s why she has donned another hat at Columbine Label: Safety Coordinator. To no one’s surprise, she has achieved important accomplishments in this role as well. A few years ago, as part of the company’s environmental certification process, Bernadette enlisted the Colorado State University Health and Safety department to serve as a third-party auditor and later received their assistance with noise monitoring assessments. This long-term relationship helped Columbine achieve years of “meets and exceeds expectations” ratings, leading to a nomination by CSU for The Colorado Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). **Even the 14ers are fair game** Taking on – and mastering – new challenges isn’t just limited to Bernadette’s work life. After moving to Colorado many years ago, Bernadette says she fell in love with hiking. So, when her Father decided his bucket list included hiking ALL of Colorado’s 14ers, she was immediately on board. “He drove up from New Mexico and we hiked our first two peaks in one day,” Bernadette recounts. “I’ll NEVER forget, Grays and then Torreys. It was brutal and I couldn’t wait to get off the mountain. A couple of weeks later, my Dad wanted to hike another which was Quandary, and then another, and then another. I hiked 10 14ers in over two years.” Bernadette’s accomplishments at work and play are exhausting. But whether she’s facing challenging new peaks or projects, we have no doubt Bernadette will conquer them all with enthusiasm, success, and a big smile. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [Customer Spotlight: White Label](https://columbinelabel.com/customer-spotlight-white-label/) **Published:** December 11, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## **Meeting the demands of on-demand printing** If hashtags are any indication of a company’s priorities, White Label isn’t messing around: they’re **\#onamission**. As a large and growing direct-to-consumer fulfillment and private label services provider based in Denver, CO, White Label picks, packs, and ships products seven days a week. Clearly, they are on a mission to meet the demanding needs of on-demand customers, where timely delivery is of the essence and quality packaging can influence repeat orders. The private label services side of the business includes approximately 30 SKUs, from nutritional supplements for people and pets to cosmetics and CBD products, with fulfillment volume ranging anywhere from 50,000 up to 350,000 per week. That requires a label print provider that can keep up with turnaround time and quality. ## **Fast, but flexible** “Columbine Label is always on speed dial,” jokes Nathan T., supply chain manager with the company. “Our volumes change from week to week, but Columbine Label is very flexible, and they understand the nature of our business.” White Label appreciates the standard three-day lead time, but whenever they’re in a time crunch, Nathan values the extra service Columbine Label can provide. “The customer service team is amazing. They can make things happen at lightning speed!” ### **Solving sticky situations** The expertise and solutions Columbine Label brings are equally important in supporting the company’s mission. For example, a common issue in on-demand fulfillment is un-labeling excess inventory for new label applications. Without the right labels, the removal process can leave a sticky, stubborn adhesive residue. “We had been experiencing quite a mess in our un-labeling process,” Nathan explains. “We were on a tour of the Columbine Label facility and mentioned the problem. Right away they showed us a label alternative made of a film rather than paper that would solve the problem. Now old labels come off clean and easy.” Nathan says Columbine Label was also able to get them out of a bind recently with a client that was launching a new product. “They wanted to feature their product with a shrink sleeve label in a video blog, but our other print provider couldn’t help,” he explains. “Columbine Label was able to develop a shrink sleeve mockup in time for our client to use in their video product launch.” ### **Six-star rated** How would White Label rate the service they receive from Columbine Label? “I give them a five-star rating across the board without a doubt,” says Nathan. “If there was such a thing as a six-star rating, I would give it to them. The amount of service and expertise they provide is absolutely invaluable to our business.” **\#missionaccomplished** ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight --- ### [The Look That You Can FEEL!](https://columbinelabel.com/blog-textured-ink/) **Published:** March 1, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## **Sensory marketing** While previous marketing efforts relied heavily on price, feature, and utility, modern consumer loyalty depends on reaching the customer through emotion and life experiences. [Sensory Marketing](https://www.thoughtco.com/sensory-marketing-4153908) is an advertising strategy used to appeal to one or more of the five human senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste) to elicit emotional association, and gain trust. Since eyes contain 2/3 of sensory cells in sighted individuals, the most common of the five senses marketers use to appeal to the customer is the sense of sight. [Color theory](https://www.colorpsychology.org/) is a study on the personality and psychological effects of various colors and color shades that affect consumers (orange and yellow give the feeling of hunger, and white is associated with pure and clean, etc.). Font types, size, space, and placement produce a style that helps to create meaning and evoke emotion. [Studies](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/inside-the-consumer-mind/201302/how-emotions-influence-what-we-buy) show that people rely on emotions to make brand decisions, rather than information; emotional responses are more influential on a person’s intent to buy. ## **Digital TextureD Ink – “Textures by Domino”** ![Textured Ink](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Textures-by-Domino-1-1024x976.jpg) According to Domino Printing Sciences, research has shown that a brand’s impact increases by 30% when more than one sense is engaged in the packaging design. With the Domino web press, digitally enhanced texture effects will add dimension to your label to create not only a visually striking product but one that will add quality by appealing to the touch through tactile embellishments. With the Domino label press, texture effects are generated digitally beginning with the art file. This makes the printing and embellishment process faster and more agile than other embellishment techniques. As well as being in line with Columbine Label’s quick turnaround, this method is more economically feasible for all brands. - - Textured ink can simulate some [emboss](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-label-printing/) effects - Textured ink can simulate some spot enhancements - Textured ink can simulate some textured material **Textured Ink is Ideal for various markets** Digital ink texture can be produced on films and most gloss papers. Prior to this technology, this type of embellishment was commonly seen on high-end wine, and boutique products. The digital ink texture and tactile effects created on the Domino label press open the opportunity for this aesthetic to all markets. • Health & Beauty • Food • Beverage • Nutraceutical • Promotional • And more! **Ink Texture Embellishments; Endless Options Minimal Price Tag** With the current inflation trend in the United States, prices are rising, it is more important than ever before to make every dollar go as far as it can. Both price and shelf appeal matter, but with digital textured ink, it doesn’t have to be a tradeoff. Using other techniques to add texture to a label, such as hot stamping, embossing, or using premium substrates can get pricy in a hurry. Digital textured ink doesn’t require any additional dies or plates, which translates to a lower price tag! Since this method starts in the art department, the texture is customizable. Change your mind from one run of labels to the next? An updated art file is all it takes to make that change! **Learn more about how to use digital texture ink to leverage your brand by [requesting a quote](https://columbinelabel.com/get-quote-custom-labels/).** ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips **Tags:** background texture, ink texture, label texture, textured labels --- ### [Print Ready Art - A Comprehensive Guide](https://columbinelabel.com/print-ready-art/) **Published:** October 2, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** In the realm of graphic design and commercial printing, “print-ready art” is a crucial concept. It refers to digital files that are meticulously prepared for the printing process, ensuring that the final output is of the highest quality and accuracy. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the key components of print-ready art, including the difference between CMYK and RGB color modes, the importance of resolution (300 PPI), bleed, safe zones, die lines, and the significance of a white layer. ## **CMYK vs. RGB: The Color Mode Dilemma** One of the fundamental distinctions in print-ready art is the choice of color mode, which greatly affects the appearance of printed materials. Understanding the difference between CMYK and RGB is crucial: 1. **CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black)**: - CMYK is the standard color mode for print. It uses a combination of four ink colors to reproduce a wide spectrum of colors on paper. - Colors in the CMYK color space tend to be less vibrant than those in RGB, which can be a challenge for designs that rely on highly saturated colors. - When creating print-ready art, ensure that your design is set to CMYK mode to accurately represent how the final printed piece will appear. 2. **RGB (Red, Green, Blue)**: - RGB is the color mode used for digital screens, such as monitors, tablets, and smartphones. It combines these three primary colors to create a full range of hues. - Colors in RGB are typically more vivid and vibrant than those in CMYK, making it unsuitable for direct printing. - When converting RGB designs to print-ready art, always perform the conversion to CMYK mode to maintain color accuracy. For further analysis of the color modes check out our blog: [RGB and CMYK: Not so Black and White](https://columbinelabel.com/rgb-and-cmyk/) ## **Bleed: Extending Beyond the Edges** ![Die line, bleed, safe zone ](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Die-Line.png) Bleed is a critical concept in print-ready art that ensures that the final printed piece looks polished and professional. The term bleed refers to the area of the design that extends beyond the trimmed edges of the printed piece. Here’s why bleed is essential: - **Trimming Tolerance**: During the cutting process, slight variations can occur. Without bleed, there may be tiny white edges visible on the final printed piece where the design does not extend all the way to the trim edge. - **Edge-to-Edge Design**: Including bleed ensures that your design extends to the very edges of the paper, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance. At Columbine Label, a bleed of .0625 inches is standard for most print projects. This additional space allows for trimming variations while maintaining a consistent, edge-to-edge design. ## **Safe Zone: Protecting Vital Information** While bleed ensures that your design extends to the edges, the safe zone is the interior area of your artwork where you should keep essential elements. These vital elements include text, logos, and other critical information that you want to ensure remains within the printed piece. The safe zone for labels printed by Columbine Label extends about .0625″ inches from the trim edge inward. By keeping crucial content within this area, you reduce the risk of it being accidentally trimmed off during the printing process. ![Standard Metal Die](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Untitled-design-86.png)Metal Die – used for cutting label shape. This die is for a lip balm and includes a perforated safety seal ## **Die Line: Defining the Shape** First, what is a die? A die is a piece of metal that is used to cut the label into the correct shape, but not cut through the liner behind the label. Die lines are guides in the art that define the shape and dimensions of your printed piece. They indicate where the final product will be cut. Here are some key points about die lines: - **Custom Shapes**: Die lines are especially important when your project involves non-standard shapes or intricate cuts. They ensure that the final piece matches your intended design. - **Precision**: Accuracy in die lines is paramount. Even slight misalignment can result in a product that looks unprofessional. When creating print-ready art for projects with die lines, it’s essential to collaborate closely with your printer or manufacturer to ensure the die lines are accurately represented in your artwork. ## **The Importance of Resolution: 300 PPI** Resolution refers to the level of detail and clarity in an image or design. In the context of print-ready art, resolution is measured in pixels per inch (PPI). The standard resolution for print-ready art is 300 PPI. Here’s why resolution matters: - **Print Clarity**: Higher resolution images and graphics result in sharper and more detailed print outputs. When printing text or intricate designs, a higher resolution ensures that fine lines and small text remain legible. - **Avoiding Pixelation**: Insufficient resolution can lead to pixelation, where individual pixels become visible, causing a blurry or jagged appearance. When creating print-ready art, it’s essential to use high-resolution images and graphics, especially for large-format printing or materials where fine details are crucial. ## **White Layer: Adding Versatility to Print** A white layer, also known as a white ink layer, is a design element used to introduce opacity or a white base to specific areas of your artwork. This technique is particularly useful when printing on colored, metallic, or transparent materials. Here are some scenarios where a white layer is important: - **Printing on Transparent, Metallic or Dark Substrates**: When printing on materials like clear plastic, metallic BOPP or colored paper, a white layer is used as a base to ensure that colors appear vibrant and true to your design. - **Highlighting Specific Areas**: Designers can strategically apply a white layer to certain parts of the artwork to create contrast and make specific elements stand out. By including a white layer in your print-ready art, you gain versatility and the ability to adapt your design to different materials and printing requirements. For help creating a white layer, follow our step by step guide on [building a white layer](https://columbinelabel.com/white-layer/). Creating print-ready art is essential to ensuring that your design translates seamlessly from the digital realm to the physical world. Understanding the differences between CMYK and RGB, the importance of resolution (300 PPI), bleed, safe zones, die lines, and the significance of a white layer empowers designers to produce high-quality, professional, and visually striking printed materials. Collaborating closely with printers and manufacturers during the design process helps ensure that your vision is accurately brought to life in the final printed product.

Did you know that 6,000-year-old chili pepper seeds have been found in Peru and Mexico. It is believed that peppers are among the first plants domesticated by humankind. Chili peppers derive their heat from capsaicin (“cap-SAY-uh-sin”). As mammals, we can feel the fiery heat of capsaicin, while birds are completely immune to it. Thus, birds, which consume the peppers and excrete the seeds, are instrumental in the proliferation of wild peppers. **What’s a Scovie?** The Scovie Awards is an event that celebrates the amazing chili pepper and the delicious fiery foods created from it. And when we say “chili pepper”, we mean the hundreds and maybe thousands of varieties of chili peppers that exist today around the world. One way that chilis are described and differentiated are by their heat level. There is, in fact a definitive scale and process for ranking hotness, known as the Scoville scale. Thus the name, “The Scovie Awards”. **The Scoville Scale** In the early 1900s, pharmacist Wilbur Scoville derived a systematic test that would quantify a pepper’s heat. His method employed human tasters as Scoville believed the human tongue could detect lower levels of capsaicin than machines. His approach, The Scoville Organoleptic Test, uses multiple steps of increasing dilution to detect pepper hotness. A single unit of dilution is called a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) and the test is final when no additional heat can be detected. Today, the test is known as The Scoville Scale and also employs liquid chromatography to extract the capsaicin and derive the Scoville score. Chili aficionados argue that machine metrics can underestimate chili heat by 30%. The Scoville Scale is used to measure pepper heat as well as heat in foodstuffs that incorporate chilis. **Scoville Scores** So, what do the Scoville scores or SHU’s tell us about peppers? To give you an idea of ranking, bell peppers hold the bottom of the scale at 1-100 SHUs. Cayenne pepper measures at 30,000 – 50,000 SHU. At the hottest end of the Scoville scale, even spicier than the fiery Ghost Pepper, is the hottest pepper we know: The Carolina Reaper at 2.2 million SHU. ![an image that shows the scoville scale](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Scovie-Awards-Sponsor.png.jpg) *source of this image from Aerogarden.com* **Hottest Part of a Chili** It’s not the seeds that hold the most heat. While many believe the seeds are the hottest part of a chili, it is actually the white pith near the seeds that is the spiciest part of a chili pepper. Also, the pepper part closest to the stem holds greater heat and a higher concentration of capsaicin. **Celebrating Fiery Foods** Many of our customers craft incredibly delicious – and spicy – foods from chili peppers. We’re excited to help showcase these products, through their labels and to see them judged by chili experts during the Scovie Awards in November. If you’d like to enter your product and compete in the Scovie Awards, you have until September 15, 2020 to do so. *[Scovie Award Entry Form](https://form.jotform.com/fieryfoods/2021-scovie-awards-entry-form)* ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Food --- ### [Customer Spotlight: Over Yonder Brewing Company](https://columbinelabel.com/over-yonder-brewing-company/) **Published:** July 24, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **A labor – and label – of love** Doing what you love seems to be a common thread among Columbine Label customers. Take for instance, Over Yonder Brewing Company, a craft brewhouse located in Southwest Golden, CO near Red Rocks Amphitheater. For owner, Jason Bilodeaux, it’s a true labor of love borne out of what he describes as “many years of indulging in what the craft beer scene had to offer.” Jason took up the art of home brewing and he says, “It became a passion and an obsession to learn all aspects of brewing and tasting beer.” That passion came to full fruition in May 2019 as a spacious taproom featuring a rotating lineup of craft beers, ranging from New England and West Coast IPAs to seasonal brews. The venture is a family affair that includes wife Jessica, Over Yonder Brewing Co.’s controller and co-founder, and sister Ashleigh who serves as the brewery’s head of marketing and sales. Corey Yauch rounds out the Over Yonder crew as taproom manager. **A brewer with a printer’s eye** In the beverage industry, the label is often a product’s best sales tool. With 14 years in the printing business, Jason knows first-hand that eye-catching designs require quality printed labels. So when it came time to select a printer for his lineup of 16-ounce cans, Jason did his homework. “We heard about Columbine Label through word of mouth. They came highly recommended by the bottler who handles our 32-ounce growlers,” explains Jason. “We reached out to Columbine and they came back with competitive pricing and turnaround time on label orders in a week, which we really needed as a startup, so it was not a hard decision to go with them.” But it was the quality print results that really had him sold. “The quality of their printing is outstanding,” says Jason. “We get consistency throughout every label and don’t see any flaws.” That’s high praise coming from a former print professional. **Going above and be-yonder** Recently, Jason has also experienced first-hand a level of customer service from Columbine that shows a company’s true character. During the COVID-19 restrictions in the spring of this year, Over Yonder Brewing pivoted to online sales and beer-to-go to keep customers sufficiently quenched while the taproom was closed. When they received a fresh order of labels that wasn’t quite right, Jason was impressed by Columbine’s response. “Within a few hours, they ran the labels again and even met me in person to hand-deliver the labels. Going above and beyond like that was a big plus for us,” he says. To Jason, the quick response and extra steps taken demonstrated Columbine Label’s understanding of the stress their customers have been in during the virus shutdown. “Doing whatever it takes to help us continue to meet customer demand and generate revenue really says a lot about who they are.” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage, Customer Spotlight --- ### [The Art of Craft Beer Labeling](https://columbinelabel.com/the-art-of-craft-beer-labeling/) **Published:** May 30, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** Craft beer has taken the beverage market by storm, offering a vast variety of flavors and styles to excite consumers and leave the mass-produced light beers in the dust. However, there’s more to craft beer than what’s inside the bottle. The craft beer labels that adorn these cans and bottles serve as artistic masterpieces, captivating consumers with their creativity and conveying the unique story behind each brew. In this blog, we delve into the fascinating world of craft beer labeling and discover how it enhances the overall beer-drinking experience. ## **![bottle logic the fourth wall craft beer](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Bottle-logic-the-fourth-wall.png)Visual Identity** Craft beer labels are not afterthoughts but deliberate expressions of a brewer’s artistic vision. They play a crucial role in establishing a brand’s identity and differentiating one beer from another. From vibrant colors to intricate designs, these labels catch the eye and ignite curiosity. They create an instant connection with consumers, inviting them to explore the beer’s story and flavors. Whether it’s a minimalist design or an elaborate illustration, craft beer labels have the power to evoke emotions and create memorable impressions. Especially in a state like Colorado where competition in the craft beer market is fierce, standing out and drawing the consumers’ eye is essential. ## **Telling a Story** Beyond aesthetics, craft beer labels often weave a narrative. They provide a glimpse into the brewing process, highlight unique ingredients, or showcase the brewery’s history and values. By sharing stories through their labels, breweries engage beer enthusiasts on a deeper level, fostering a sense of connection and loyalty. These labels may transport us to distant lands, evoke nostalgia, or simply bring a smile to our faces. Each label holds the potential to spark conversations and inspire an appreciation for the craftsmanship and passion behind the beer. ## **Breaking Traditions** One of the remarkable aspects of craft beer labeling is the freedom it allows for experimentation and creativity. Unlike mass-produced beers with standardized labels, craft breweries often challenge conventions and embrace innovative designs. From unconventional shapes and materials to witty puns and clever wordplay, these labels push boundaries and reflect the industry’s rebellious spirit. Craft beer labeling is a testament to the fusion of art and beer, offering an experience that goes beyond taste and engages all our senses. It’s no wonder that this industry continues to grow and flourish. ## **The Consumer’s Journey** Craft beer labels are not only visually enticing but also serve as a roadmap for consumers. A professionally printed label represents the quality of the beer inside. High-quality labels signal to a consumer that the beer is high quality as well. Labels also provide vital information such as beer style, ABV (alcohol by volume), ingredients, and serving suggestions. The labels act as guides, helping beer enthusiasts navigate the vast world of craft beer and make informed choices based on their preferences. ![craft beer labeling](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Holidaily-Pumpkin-Ale-300x300.png) ## **Labeling Options** The creativity that is inherent to craft beer often means small and limited batches. Small batches naturally lend themselves to labels as they can be produced in small quantities with short turn times. At Columbine Label, turn times can be as fast as 3 days from art approval. Columbine Label also offers **special pricing** for our craft beer friends, find out more [Here.](https://columbinelabel.com/craft-beer-label-program/) But are there other options? What about preprinted cans and shrink sleeves? Preprinted cans are known to have a large volume requirement. This has led some craft brewers to purchase a “generic” preprinted can and label the middle to give the appearance of fully preprinted cans. Another option is shrink sleeves. Shrink sleeves have slightly larger minimums and slightly longer turn times, but can be great options for the right brew. Another issue with shrink sleeves is application. Many label manufacturers will offer shrink sleeves, but craft brewers are without anyone to apply them. Columbine Label both offer craft beer shrink sleeve printing and application! Find out more [Here](https://columbinelabel.com/craft-beer-shrink-sleeves/). ## **We Love Craft Beer** Craft beer labeling is a fascinating blend of creativity, storytelling, and functionality. It adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the craft beer experience, capturing the essence of each brew and creating a lasting impression. So, the next time you crack open a craft beer, take a moment to appreciate the label that holds the story in your hand. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Hot Stamping or Silver BOPP](https://columbinelabel.com/hot-stamping-or-silver-bopp/) **Published:** May 22, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **Hot Stamping or Silver BOPP?** Hot stamp labels, also known as foil stamp labels, are a popular style of label printing for a variety of industries. They are particularly popular in the cosmetics, food, and beverage industries. To create these labels, we use a special process that involves heating a flatbed die and transferring a metallic or colored foil onto the label material. Occasionally, customers approach us with a specific label idea and a preference for hot stamping. That’s great! We are more than happy to make that vision a reality, but what if you could get the same look for a cheaper price? In this blog, we will discuss hot stamping and silver BOPP, and how to know which is best for your product. ## **What is Silver BOPP** BOPP stands for biaxially-oriented polypropylene, which is a type of plastic film that is commonly used in packaging and labeling. Silver BOPP label material has a shiny, metallic appearance that can be similar to hot stamp foil labels, but at a lower cost. This material can also be more durable than hot stamp labels, as it is resistant to water and oil, making it a good choice for products that will be exposed to these substances. Although it is referred to as “silver”, this BOPP can be flood coated with ink to give any color appearance, copper, red, green, gold, you name it! White layers are added to silver labels, behind the art in order to dampen the metallic effect in certain places. This way, only certain elements of the label stand out as metallic. Check out our page on [Building a White Layer](https://columbinelabel.com/white-layer/) for more information on this and a step by step guide to creating a white layer. ## **Price Point** One important consideration when selecting a label material is the cost. While hot stamp labels can be an effective and high-quality option, they can also be more expensive than other types of labels. In some cases, a silver BOPP label material may be a better, cheaper option for creating the final product. Hot stamping can be expensive because it involves pressing a hot flatbed die into the label material, which leaves a foil behind. Custom engraved flatbed dies for your label design can cost a few hundred dollars, but fortunately, this is a one-time expense. The other reason the hot stamp process is expensive is because of time. In order to get the pressure between the die and the material just right, the machine must slow down significantly compared to traditional flexible metal dies used for cutting the label into the correct shape. ## **When to Pick Silver BOPP** Both options will provide for a stunning label, but which one is right for your product? The first thing to consider is use. If a product requires high durability or exposure to water or oil, choosing silver BOPP label material may be more suitable. Another reason to select silver BOPP is if you have 100% ink coverage, so the substrate isn’t visible anyway. Hot stamp is ideal for wine and paper stocks as well as clear BOPP, but if you were going to select a white BOPP and hot stamp it, don’t waste your money. Silver BOPP can get you that hot stamped look at a fraction of the cost. Another reason to select silver BOPP is finish type. If you are looking for a trendy matte finish, BOPP will produce the best looking result. We do not laminate our wine and paper stocks so this type of finish is unavailable with that type of substrate. ![Poor Man's Hot Stamp Silver BOPP Label with Matte](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-57-600x279.png) ## **When to Pick Hot Stamping** Hot stamp labels can be a good choice for products that require a high-end, luxury look, such as cosmetics or high-end food and beverage products, like wine. Hot stamping is the most effective method to achieve a metallic finish on non-metallic materials, commonly used on wine and paper stock materials but also applicable to clear BOPP.![Hot Stamp wine stock label](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-56-1-300x300.png) Ultimately, the decision between hot stamp labels and silver BOPP label material will depend on a variety of factors, including the desired look of the label, the intended use of the product, and the budget available for labeling materials. Both hot stamp labels and silver BOPP label material can be effective options for creating high-quality, attractive labels that meet the needs of a wide range of products and industries. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Understanding Tapered Containers](https://columbinelabel.com/understanding-tapered-containers/) **Published:** May 8, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **Understanding Tapered Containers** Considering the shape of the container on which the label will be applied is critical when creating product labels. Tapered Containers are more common than you would think. This can present unique challenges in label application. In this blog post, we will explore how to identify a tapered container, how to measure its taper, and how a tapered container can impact a product label. ## **Identifying a Tapered Container** A tapered container is one that narrows towards the bottom or top, resulting in a conical or trapezoidal shape. It can be challenging to identify a tapered container at first glance, especially when the taper is subtle. One way to identify a tapered container is by looking at it from the top or bottom and observing if the diameter changes significantly from one end to the other. Another way is to roll the container on a flat surface and observe if it wobbles, or is unable to roll in a straight line due to the taper. It is important to know if your container has a taper because if a standard label is applied to a tapered container, it may appear distorted or wrinkled. ## **Measuring the Taper – Taper Gauge** ![Understanding Tapered Containers - tapered labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Top-Circumference-600x600.png) Measuring the taper of a container is essential to ensure that the label fits properly and looks visually appealing. A taper gauge is the easiest way to measure a taper, it is a measuring tool specifically designed for this purpose. Place the taper gauge on the container with the narrow end of the gauge at the bottom or top of the container, depending on the direction of the taper. Adjust the gauge until it matches the angle of the taper, and read the measurement indicated on the gauge. This measurement will help you determine the degree of taper and ensure that your label is designed and applied correctly. ## **Measuring the Taper – By Hand** More than likely, you don’t have a taper gauge on hand. That’s okay, doing it by hand is easy. First, determine the place of your label on your container. Consider how high or low and how much area you want to cover. Next, measure the top circumference using a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape, record the number. After that, measure the bottom circumference using the same method. Then measure the height. Make sure to measure the height parallel to the container, NOT against the container. Then use an online tool such as [this one](https://www.templatemaker.nl/en/cone/) from Templatemaker to generate a label template. ## **Professionals Please** Your product is your baby, we get it. To be 100% sure your taper is right, you can always get professional help. If you are willing to send us one of your containers, we will professionally measure it, for your perfect label! [Reach out](mailto:customersupport@columbinelabel.com?subject=Tapered%20Template%20Help) to our customer support team for more details. ## **Impacts on Product Labeling:** A tapered container can have significant impacts on product labeling. Due to the changing diameter of the container, a standard label may not fit properly or may result in a skewed appearance. If the label is too large for the tapered area, it may wrinkle, crease, or peel off, affecting the overall visual appeal and product branding. On the other hand, if the label is too small, it may not cover the entire tapered area, leaving gaps or exposed areas that can negatively impact the label’s durability and longevity. To properly label a tapered container, it’s essential to consider custom label design and application techniques. To ensure a precise fit and professional appearance, it is important to tailor fit your custom label designs. Additionally, specialized label application techniques, such as using label materials with flexibility or adhesives specifically formulated for tapered surfaces, can help ensure that the label adheres properly and maintains its integrity even on a tapered container. In conclusion, identifying a tapered container, measuring its taper accurately, and understanding how it can impact product labeling are crucial considerations for successful label application. Custom label design and specialized application techniques can help ensure that the label fits properly, looks visually appealing, and enhances the overall branding of the product. If you have a product that is packaged in a tapered container, it’s important to work with a professional label printing service that has expertise in designing and applying labels on such containers to ensure the best results. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [A Sticky Situation: Label Adhesive for Hot Fill and Blast Freezer Applications](https://columbinelabel.com/hot-fill-blast-freezer-label-adhesive/) **Published:** May 1, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **Label Materials and the Importance of Selecting the Right Adhesive for Hot-Filled or Blast Freeze Products** Labels are an essential part of product packaging, providing crucial information and branding for consumers. However, not all labels are created equal, and selecting the right adhesive for label materials is crucial, especially for products that undergo hot filling or blast-freezing processes immediately after being labeled. In this blog, we will explore the importance of choosing the right adhesive for label materials and how adhesive becomes more durable on a product over time. ## **Hot Fill & Blast Freeze Products** Hot filling is a common method used in the food and beverage industry to extend the shelf life of products. It involves filling the product into containers at a high temperature, which helps to kill any bacteria or microorganisms and reduce the chances of spoilage. Common products that are often hot-filled include honey, sauces, sports drinks, and juices. Although, many others are hot-filled as well. Blast freezing, is a rapid freezing process that quickly freezes products by exposing them to extremely low temperatures. Freezers come in a large range from 14 degrees Fahrenheit to as low as -184 degrees Fahrenheit. Blast freezers are commonly used for ice creams or sorbets, but can be useful for other product types as well ## **The Challenge** Both hot filling and blast freezing processes can pose challenges to labels if the wrong adhesive is used. One of the main challenges with hot filling or blast freezing is the extreme temperature changes that the labels must endure. Labels need to adhere firmly to the product surface, even when exposed to high heat or cold temperatures. If the wrong adhesive is used, labels can peel off, become wrinkled, or lose their adhesion, which impacts the not only the product aesthetic, but is a regulatory concern if labels fall off entirely. ## **Label Adhesive Types** To ensure labels stay intact and legible on products that undergo hot filling or blast freezing, it is crucial to select the right adhesive for label materials. Some adhesives are specifically designed for high-temperature applications, while others are more suitable for cold temperatures. For hot filling, adhesives with excellent heat resistance properties, such as solvent-based adhesives or hot melt adhesives, are recommended. These adhesives can withstand the high temperatures during the filling process and maintain their adhesive strength. Similarly, for blast freezing, adhesives with excellent cold resistance properties, such as emulsion-based adhesives or rubber-based adhesives, are ideal. These adhesives can withstand the extreme cold temperatures during the freezing process and maintain their adhesive strength. ## **Stronger Over Time** It is also important to note that adhesive performance can improve over time on the product. Once the label is applied to the product and the adhesive cures or sets. This means that over time it can form a stronger bond with the product surface. This is known as “adhesive dwell time” or “curing time,” and it varies depending on the adhesive type and the product surface. Adhesives that require longer curing times tend to have better adhesion and durability on the product over time. Selecting the right adhesive for label materials is crucial for products that undergo hot filling or blast freezing processes. Adhesives with excellent heat resistance or cold resistance properties should be chosen, depending on the application. Additionally, considering the curing time can help ensure that the labels remain durable and adhere firmly to the product surface. Consult with you label provider as they can provide valuable guidance and expertise in selecting the right adhesive for your specific applications. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0810b83d8fe63b9cbbb04dee61755a13570d52c9c3e9f19dc8b70b36c6fca41a?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Rachel Jackson [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/racheljackson/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [RGB and CMYK: Not so Black and White](https://columbinelabel.com/rgb-and-cmyk/) **Published:** April 17, 2023 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ## **RGB and CMYK What’s the Difference and Why Does it Matter?** Color is an essential aspect of any design. It is critical to understand the differences between RGB and CMYK color modes for producing high-quality prints. RGB and CMYK are two different color modes used in graphic design and printing. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the differences between the two and the importance of a color bridge for bringing your design off the screen and into print media. ## **RGB and CMYK Color Modes** RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. This color mode is used for digital designs that will be displayed on screens such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. In RGB mode, colors are created by mixing varying amounts of red, green, and blue light. This mode is capable of producing a wide range of bright, vibrant colors, making it ideal for digital designs. On the other hand, CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black), and it’s a color mode used in printing. In CMYK mode, colors are created by combining varying amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. This mode is best suited for printing purposes, as it can reproduce a wide range of colors on print media such as paper or BOPP. When designing for print, it’s essential to work in CMYK mode to ensure that the colors you see on the screen will match the printed version. RGB colors can appear brighter and more vibrant on screen than they do in print. This happens because the RGB color strategy uses light, and the CMYK color strategy uses pigments. When you mix the three colors of light, RGB, together white light is the resulting color. Mixing the four printing pigments, CMYK, together the resulting color is black. Going from mixing light to mixing color isn’t an exact 1 to 1 change. Converting to CMYK mode during the design process for any design destined for print can help you achieve the desired color accuracy. ## **Color Bridge** ![Color Bridge RGB vs CYMK](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Color-Bridge-e1680797392297-300x300.jpg) Designing in CYMK is the best option for print. If that isn’t possible or the design was already created in RGB, a color bridge can help determine how the printed design will look. A color bridge is a guide produced by Pantone, that shows how colors designed in RGB will appear when printed using CMYK. It’s a valuable tool, as it allows for comparing colors in RGB mode to their closest equivalent in CMYK mode. This helps to get a close estimation of how colors will appear when printed. Colors designed in RGB mode can’t always be accurately reproduced in CMYK print. So, color bridges are used to “bridge the gap” between the colors displayed on screen and the printed colors. The color bridge guide shows how each RGB color will appear when printed in CMYK mode. This makes it easier to adjust the color values to ensure the best possible match between the two. Graphic design and printing use RGB and CMYK color modes. RGB is best for digital designs, while CMYK is best for printing.

It’s no secret that labels are one of the first parts of the products consumers see, which is why it’s essential that your custom lip balm label has the following characteristics to get noticed and purchased: ## **1. Attractive Design** Understanding your customer base is the best way to create an attractive label design that will catch and grab their attention. Knowing what appeals to your audience in the form of how your lip balm looks, does it convey the right message about your product and brand. For example, some brands care deeply about using natural and eco-friendly ingredients, their brand tells this story by the natural look of the wood grain label material, and utilizing the color green to convey being “Green”.If a brand has a target audience of men, the lip balm will utilize darker colors with product names that are appealing to that specific persona. Don’t be afraid to play around with your design and ask trusted people in your life which options they deem the most eye-catching and attractive. It can also be helpful to test out new designs with existing and prospective customers. ## **2. Durable Labels** Lip balm is a highly unique self-care product in that it tends to travel everywhere and is contained in places with easy access; pockets, purses, gym bags, cars, etc. For this reason, label durability must be a priority. Having a durable lip balm label means you can expect the label to remain on the product with clean/clear graphics during its life of typical use. Lip balm labels require a flexible material with an adhesive that keeps the label adhered to, without flagging or lifting. Durable labels not only make your lip balm look and feel more like a quality product when consumers purchase them, but it also helps to create brand loyalty. ## **3. Accurate Information** When it comes to [labeling beauty products](https://columbinelabel.com/a-guide-to-required-fields-for-custom-cosmetic-label-printing/), accuracy matters. The surface of a lip gloss container has very little real estate to convey a lot of information. Your branding (logo), name of your chapstick, net weight, ingredients, warnings, and much more information. In addition, any claims made on the product label must be accurate and true [U.S. Food & Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling/cosmetics-labeling-claims) When there is more information than will cleanly fit on the prime label real-estate, it is common for manufacturers to move the drug facts and warnings to an inside layer of an extended text label. Extended text labels are multi-layer labels intended for the consumer to peel back the top layer and reveal additional content and product information. ## **You Can Count on Columbine Label for Attractive, Durable, and Accurate Custom Lip Balm Stickers** Columbine Label has a dedicated team of label professionals that can help you with nearly any label project you have.

But every now and then you get one that just doesn’t want to come off cleanly. If you’re like me, you probably reach for the nearest chemical to remove that gooey adhesive buildup left behind. Window Cleaners, Rubbing Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, dish soap, nail polish remover, Skin So Soft (ha! you know you’re old when…) THEN, after the goo is smeared all over you go for the TOUGH stuff like WD-40, or M.E.K (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) only to find out that it has smeared not only the adhesive goo but may have melted or damaged your new product as well. **Does it ALWAYS have to be a STICKY situation?** **Do any of these methods really work? Well; experience says Yes…and NO.** M.E.K. is one of the best catchall adhesive removers for many surfaces like metal or glass, but watch out. While readily available at any hardware store, M.E.K. is one of the nastiest chemicals out there. Flammable, Irritant, and absorbable into the blood through the skin. Really best left as the choice of last resort. And follow the safety instructions if you decide to go this route. By the way, it will also dissolve certain types of plastics. WD-40 works on some surfaces as well, but you must be careful about the oily stain that can be left behind. Rubbing alcohol and alcohol-based products like Window Cleaners, Nail polish removers, etc. all appear to help but only wet the adhesive and make it appear to go away. Once dry, the sticky adhesive residue usually reappears. For regular label use in printers etc., this gives the appearance of adhesive issues throughout the roll of labels, when in fact it is usually just normal build-up that is not being completely cleaned away. ### Removing labels; tricks of the trade: We have found the best product for the purpose of removing adhesive is a citrus cleaning solution you can get from the local hardware store (like Orange Glow). Smaller, less concentrated products are also available, like “Goo Gone”! - For hard surfaces you may be able to use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, a mixture of [warm water and vinegar](https://www.forkintheroad.co/remove-labels-glass-jars/) and a clean cloth can also do the trick. - Baby oil, cooking oil, and lotions are sometimes good remedies for removing adhesive left on your skin from bandages. - It’s NEVER good to apply an adhesive label (or sticker) to silk, wool, leather, suede, or any other delicate fabric; however, if you peel a label off any other fabric but the adhesive doesn’t come up Try this: simply apply a paper towel to the fabric and iron over the adhesive which transfers the adhesive from the fabric to the paper towel. - Some labels are made with “[water soluble adhesive](https://columbinelabel.com/textured-wine-label-material-appealing-to-your-customers/)”. Try soaking the product in hot water (if the product is submersible). If this is the case, the label will peel right off. - If you get adhesive build-up in a printer, running regular bond copy paper through will help clean this out. If using a laser printer, make sure it’s a laser-compatible label product. And if you regularly use label products in printers, automatic applicators, etc. you can expect some adhesive build-up over time – it’s part of the nature of the product. Standard Disclaimer: When using something you’re unfamiliar with, always try it out in a less conspicuous area to make sure it is suitable and won’t damage the product you are trying to remove the adhesive from. A scratched or melted sunglasses lens is no more useful than one with a label stuck to it! We hope you’ve found this information useful. If you have other remedies or solutions that work, let us know and we’ll pass them along. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Jennifer Erickson](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-jennifer-erickson/) **Published:** June 18, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **New Office Manager fills big shoes with a big heart** Filling the role of a predecessor who held the position for 25 years can be quite daunting. That’s what Jennifer Erickson, new office manager at Columbine Label, was facing when she was hired in January of this year to replace long-time employee Alissa Evans who left to relocate with her husband to Australia. But Jennifer isn’t one to shy away from new challenges and experiences. “Before I applied to the job posting at Columbine Label, I looked at the company’s website and was impressed with what I saw – their values, mission, and overall feel of the company as a whole,” she explained. “I knew I wanted to work here. My background includes 28 years in the construction industry as an office manager/bookkeeper and most recently as a human resources generalist. I just knew it would be a good fit for both of us.” Jennifer came to this position with plenty of experience but says she looks forward to learning more about the label business and understanding everyone’s role at the company. “I think it is important to know how each person’s input affects the output.” **Becoming label-aware** Working at Columbine Label has certainly raised Jennifer’s awareness of the labels, even outside of the office. “Seeing all the different kinds of labels that come across my desk, I am much more in tune with my ‘label’ surroundings. I’m always looking at products in the store to see if I recognize any that we’ve printed,” she laughs. **Numbers nerd, people person** A self-proclaimed numbers nerd, Jennifer says she “enjoys the puzzles and all that comes with accounting.” But she’s also a people person. “In the short time I have been here at Columbine Label, everyone has made me feel very welcome,” she says. “I have been included on several social outings, including a ladies’ night dinner and an evening at a comedy club. I like interacting with others and being able to listen or give advice and have fun. But I also know when to be serious and get the job done!” **When crisis calls** Jennifer’s start at Columbine Label was baptism by fire, or virus to be more accurate. The government-mandated COVID-19 shutdown took place just as she was getting settled into the job. She was touched by the company’s response to the crisis among employees and customers. “I saw people support one another in very sincere and genuine ways,” Jennifer noted. “Everyone banded together to talk about our concerns and what we could do to help and accommodate fellow employees to make them feel safe and comfortable – and still get labels out to our customers, sometimes even ahead of schedule.” **Embracing life** When Jennifer isn’t immersed in the business of labels, she and her husband Bret enjoy camping and exploring all that Colorado has to offer, including the arts, music, and historic sites. Jennifer also loves cooking, wine, reading, and loving on her fur baby Reagan, an adorable Yorkshire Terrier. Jennifer brings a big heart, positive attitude, and willingness to learn, grow and do to her new role at Columbine Label and it certainly shows. “I know I have big shoes to fill,“ Jennifer admits. “But I will do my best because this group is worth it!” Welcome to the Columbine Label team, Jennifer! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [7 ways to lower the cost of your labels](https://columbinelabel.com/do-these-7-things-to-lower-the-cost-of-your-labels/) **Published:** June 10, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Columbine Label, with over 34 years of experience in the label printing industry, continually develops and updates criteria to help customers lower the cost of labels and save money on all their custom label runs. Their team of experts is well versed in producing labels for all industries, including craft beer and other beverages, food, health and beauty products, industrial products, and household products. Regardless of the pricing pressures created by the pandemic or other cost-increasing factors, manufacturers of all sizes can follow these money-saving tips. ### Follow these best tips to lower the cost of your labels ### **1. Material** Allow your label specialist to identify the material best suited for your product. Many variables go into the material choice, such as application type, application temperature, service temperature, container type, and even container shape. Utilizing your label printer’s expertise will ensure that you are not paying for a material that is overkill, or for a material that won’t get the job done right. As a result, choosing the right material will save money and headaches along the way. ### **2. Colors** More colors can equate to higher cost, plus additional setup charges. Work with a printer that has digital printing technology. Digital printing presses typically produce your design in a four-color process, or six-color process and do not require printing plates. ### **3. Label Size** Label size is important to ensure proper fit to your container. Did you know that label printers have web-width limitations? These limitations affect the number of rows of labels that can be printed at one time, and the amount of material waste. Columbine Label is equipped to determine a minimum and maximum size for your label. This will allow them to maximize the web width, use the base material more efficiently, and ultimately save you money. Plus, less waste is created! ### **4. Quantity** Placing orders in bulk will get the best price. Label printing is no different. Ordering a higher quantity of labels will get your unit cost down. The key is knowing your label usage, so you don’t end up throwing away obsolete labels. Labels that are the same size and printed on the same material can be combined into one run, giving you the benefit of higher quantity price breaks. Let your label specialist understand your label ordering needs and they will guide you to best practices for saving time and money. ### **5. Flexibility** Being flexible with your label printer can help save you money. Whether it’s the size of your label or specialty material, ask your label specialist to send you samples of recommended alternatives. It could be in your best interest. ### **6. Labels on a roll** The default number of labels on a roll is 1,000 (if quantities permit). If you are utilizing an automatic label applicator to apply labels to your product, find out the maximum outside diameter the machine will allow. Doing this will almost certainly provide more labels on a roll which will reduce the number of setups and changeovers on your end. It may also save you money in the label quote (especially true for very high quantities). ### **7. Buy Direct** Similar to any trade, label printing is a specialty, and although many businesses are willing to sell you labels (one-stop-shop) they are unable to control important aspects such as quality, price, and turnaround time. They are merely a pass-through entity that bears responsibility and therefore adds cost to the invoice. Avoid paying middle-man markup by purchasing your labels [direct from the printer](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-order/). We invite you to send in your existing labels, and/or containers. Columbine Label’s team of experts will evaluate your products and ordering processes to see where we can lower the cost of your labels and save you money. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Art and Design, News and Tips, Sustainability --- ### [Customer Spotlight: Savory Spice Shop](https://columbinelabel.com/savory-spice-shop/) **Published:** April 15, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## Filling Life with Flavor One Spice at a Time ### Savory Spice owners blend creativity, craftsmanship, and cooking into a successful boutique business Did you ever stop to wonder how many varieties of paprika there are? If you’re like most people, probably not. But the next time you’re preparing a dish that calls for paprika, you might want to think twice before reaching for that basic grocery store blend. Of the 200-plus spices, herbs, and extracts available from Denver-based [Savory Spice Shop](https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/), they offer *five* varieties of paprika—that’s about four more than you would ever see in your average supermarket spice aisle. It’s what makes Savory Spice Shop the go-to purveyor of artisanal seasonings for everyone in the kitchen, from gourmet chefs to novices. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/family-style-fajita-seasoning_spoon_macro-300x250.jpg)“Most of our high-quality, proprietary blends are prepared by hand in small batches,” explains Savory Spice Shop founders Mike and Janet Johnston. “This allows us to create seasonings that are distinctly more fragrant and more flavorful than those sold elsewhere.” The couple opened their first Savory Spice store in Denver in 2004 and have grown to 27 retail locations across the U.S., plus a successful e-commerce business, offering 450 products. “Cooking is so personal…tastes are highly individualized,” Mike explains, “We offer such a wide range of blends and grinds of spices, chances are that we can meet anyone’s flavor preferences.” ### **A blend of personal and professional passions** Mike and Janet entered the spices and seasonings industry with a blend of personal and professional passions. The couple leveraged their extensive professional experience in spice blending, the retail spice industry, and marketing to turn what they love into a small business. Each plays an important role in operations and product development. Mike takes a creative approach to flavors, whether it’s in the kitchen or behind the grill. “I enjoy pushing flavors outside of traditional uses to inspire cooks of all levels,” he notes. He has created over 200 spice blends, from traditional favorites like Jamaican Jerk to seasonings inspired by global travel and trends. With the explosion of interest in barbecuing and home smokers during the pandemic, the demand for flavorful and unique rubs played right into Mike’s flavor forte. The company offers [49 rubs, seasonings, and other products](https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/collections/bbq-grilling) specifically for grilling. As a lead product innovator, Mike oversees the company’s Test Kitchen which develops new products as well as recipes to support product launches and customers’ exploration of their seasonings. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/midwestern-sweet-bbq_crop-1-300x250.jpg) ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/sweet-jerk-bbq-sauce_web_05-300x250.jpg) Janet manages day-to-day operations at the corporate office and warehouse. But she also immerses herself in international travel to gain a 360-degree knowledge of the industry. Her adventures include learning about the harvesting processes of French sea salt and Grenada nutmeg, tracing the origins of traditional blends such as Bajan in Barbados, cooking classes in Thailand, harvesting cinnamon in Vietnam, and picking peppercorns in Cambodia. ### Simple, but with a “wow” ![Savory Spice Seven Onion Dip](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Seven-Onion-Lifestyle-200x300.jpeg) About those five varieties of paprika? “Once consumers do a little research and experimenting in the kitchen, they discover there is a major difference in quality and taste between grocery store brand spices and ours,” observes Mike. “And there are so many varieties of spices like paprika—even salt and pepper—that have a range of exciting flavor profiles and textures.” To keep so many choices from scaring away consumers who are just starting to find their way in the kitchen, the Johnstons set out to make the spice experience simple but impactful. Their mission statement reflects that: Our mission is to deliver ‘wow’ flavor experiences that bring you closer to your loved ones,” Janet explains, “We make exploring in the kitchen surprisingly simple and approachable, so cooks of all levels can say, ‘I’ve got this!’ To that end, their line of Spice ‘n Easy line has been proving wildly popular, particularly during the pandemic. “Many people were just learning how to cook and had more time with their family to prepare meals in ways they previously hadn’t,” says Mike. “Customers wanted to learn how to cook, but they also wanted to try new things.” To inspire and entice shoppers, Savory Spice packaging features colorful photos of the finished dishes, and unique, [kitchen-tested recipes](https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/collections/all-recipes) are available on their website. This year, the company is showcasing a new Wonders of the World product line of internationally inspired Spice ‘n Easy seasonings, including Honey Sumac Hummus inspired by Petra, Jordan. ![Savory Spice Honey Sumac Hummus](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/hone-sumac-hummus_web-300x250.jpg) ### Immersive, sensory in-store experiences The Savory Spice Shop in-store experience takes spice shopping to a whole other sensory level. Even before opening the door to a [Savory Spice Shop location](https://savoryspice.myshopify.com/pages/locations), you are drawn in by the smell of fresh spices. “If you walked down a grocery store aisle, you won’t have that same experience,” says Janet. “We believe the best way for customers to understand the value of high-quality spices is a hands-on, smelling, and tasting experience.” Shoppers are not only taken in by the aromas and flavors, but also by the bright colors of the brand packaging and the products themselves. The immersive in-store experience also includes tastings, cooking classes, cookbook author sessions, and one-on-one interaction with spice merchants to learn about the store’s many products, recipes, and more. For the Johnstons, what matters most in life is meaningful moments, delightful experiences, and of course, flavorful food. Or as they like to say: helping people “Live Life Full” one spice at a time. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight, Food **Tags:** bottle labels, food labels, package labels, Savory spice, Spice Labels --- ### [A Designer’s Eye for Prepress](https://columbinelabel.com/a-designers-eye-for-prepress/) **Published:** October 20, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** What’s better than a prepress operator with analytic skills? One with technical chops *and* seasoned graphic design background. That just so happens to describe [Phil Griffith](https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-griffith-29b906159/), a prepress operator at Columbine Label Company. It’s a position he never imagined himself enjoying when he first started his creative career. ## **A graphic start** “I was a freelance graphic designer for years,” Phil explains. “It’s a good way to build relationships and help people achieve what they are really looking for.” As a graphic designer for mostly print work, Phil became well versed in a variety of graphic design software and how to properly set up files for printing that reduce potential issues. A stint in marketing followed a few years later. Then Phil came across a prepress position for a commercial printer. “I’m a pretty creative person, but I thought I’d give it a try,” he recalls. “I ended up loving prepress. It appeals to my analytical side…making sure files are set up correctly and helping customers learn the ins and outs of print.” ### **Making the move to Columbine Label Company** After a decade at his previous job, Phil was ready for something more challenging and came across an opening for a prepress operator at Columbine Label Company in 2018. Phil beat out over 120 applicants, and he’s never looked back. “I’m so lucky to be here. It’s such a great place to work,” he says. “You can tell the companies that care about their employees and Columbine Label is one of them.” ### **Rewarding work** For Phil, no two days are ever the same at work. “Every day is an opportunity to problem-solve,” he explains. “And the graphic designer in me is always interested to see all the different label designs that come in and how we can get them to work the way they were intended.” Phil finds that the Columbine Label’s focus on teamwork and customer service are crucial differentiating factors. “We work really well as a team. Our priority is making sure customers are happy with the end product.” To that end, Phil says he works hard to make sure the next person who touches the job doesn’t have to do anything extra. “I want to make sure I’ve done everything possible to make things easier for the next person in line. If you’re doing your job and encounter fewer issues, then you’re going to enjoy your job more.” ## **Tips from a design/prepress pro** As a graphic designer and prepress professional, Phil can quickly spot potential pitfalls with files submitted by customers, often due to a lack of customer/designer knowledge about the printing process. He enjoys working directly with customers to educate them on the technical aspects of file prep [Art Guidelines](https://columbinelabel.com/art-guidelines/), so they have a positive experience turning their artwork into professionally printed labels. His top tips include: - prepare files in CMYK color mode, [not RGB](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-stop-your-rgb-file-from-being-doa-at-the-printer-2/) - submit vector files (preferably created in Illustrator) rather than bitmap files created in Photoshop or third-party software such as Canva - send files with high-resolution images to ensure crisp, clear print results - include a bleed if there are images or colors that go to the edge of the trim - add a layer of white to the artwork that will be printed on a clear or metallic material - include a dieline in the artwork to ensure production accuracy - barcodes should be black only and be at 80% magnification or more so that they will scan easily ## **Creative outlets** When Phil isn’t problem-solving at Columbine Label, he enjoys graphic design work on the side, cooking (especially his grandmother’s spaghetti and meatballs recipe), video games, music, driving through the mountains with his wife, and son, and cheering on the Denver Broncos. “I’m excited about this season,” he says. “It has to be better than the last five. I’m very optimistic.” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Art and Design, Employee Spotlight, News and Tips **Tags:** art, artwork, CMYK, design, designer, pre-press, RGB --- ### [What Do You Do When Your Competitor is An Inch Away?](https://columbinelabel.com/what-do-you-do-when-your-competitor-is-an-inch-away/) **Published:** May 24, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** *4-minute read* On a typical grocery store shelf, dozens of competitive products are packed together in close quarters, inches apart, vying to be put in the shopping cart. Competition is fierce. ### Importance of a product’s label to branding ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Competitor-close-by--300x200.png)The goal of purchasing that valuable retail shelf space is to have the product purchased, not just to sit on the shelves. The question is – When a consumer is looking at a shelf of related products and chooses one to buy, which factor most influenced their purchasing decision? Along with popularity, price, and ingredients, one of the main components of the choice is based on the products’ visual appeal. Does it look good? Does it look better than the others on the shelf? Other than the actual product inside (if you can see it), the product’s label will enhance the visual appeal. Businesses often spend valuable time brainstorming for the perfect label design that represents the product, as well as the company or brand. Do not minimize the importance of the product label when it comes to increasing your sales! Here are a couple of tips for food product label design to help your products get through the checkout lane more often than your competitor. ### **Know Your Audience** You need to know what your customers are looking for before you begin to draft design ideas. Food labels typically have minimal space to convey a lot of information. Food labels must convey your company’s commitment to fresh and quality ingredients, sanitary processes, and delicious taste. You must understand the expectations of your audience. If they want an Italian dish, they are looking for colors, images, and lettering that they associate with Italy. If they want a healthy meal, they may want to see whole grains and vegetables. You can also capture a snapshot of your target audience on the label – think of the face of a baby on a jar of baby food or a tough cowboy on beef jerky packages. Think about other aspects of your target audience, such as income level. Therefore, the packaging intention of an economy can of soup is to look generic, while a higher-end name-brand soup includes high-definition images, fancy lettering, and well-known logos. The same product can often have a distinctive look in its packaging and be labeled differently for different markets and different customers. There are other things you could learn about your audience, take time to study and do your research. ### **Know Your Competitors** Audience expectations can really help you pinpoint the type of label design you should move toward, but there is another thing to take into consideration – what are your competitors doing? If they are all following a widespread practice, such as making Italian product packages using red, green, and white colors, then the whole grocery aisle starts to look the same. You want to stand out and “get noticed” – so you need to think differently. This is not to say you should ignore audience expectations, but you should meet them in a new and eye-catching way. Whether it is a quote, picture, or object that represents your product, it should be straightforward and easily recognizable. It should trigger a certain emotion – like reminding the customers about a warm, home-cooked meal, or the great spice of a Mexican salsa they had on their vacation. Your product should communicate to the audience both how you will fulfill their expectations, and also show how your product is different from the products next to yours. ### **The Finished Label** Once you have developed a label design, you will need to get it produced. This is another decision that could impact customer response to the product. If the label printing quality is low or the material looks faulty, it could cause the customer to choose your competitor. And what about quality? If it looks great on the shelf but falls apart in the fridge, a consumer may choose someone else on the next grocery store trip. There is a multitude of variables that come into play when custom printing product labels.

Throughout high school, he took graphic design classes at his school and the local university to sharpen his design skills for page layout, websites, animation, and more. While earning a BS in Imaging and Print Science from Western Michigan University, Brett found his calling in print. “I discovered that I was better at managing the work and what goes into producing print rather than the design side of things.” After graduating in 2011, Brett had his sights set on Colorado. He applied to Columbine Label Company in 2011 and was hired as a sales assistant. The job evolved into a sales/production liaison and eventually to his current position handling production management, scheduling, quality assurance, and onboarding. ### 360-degree print experience In his role, Brett capitalizes on his full-spectrum knowledge of printing. “I have spent time in the art room, interacting with customers and suppliers, and I’ve also run a portion of the machinery we have in the plant,” he explains. “Having the knowledge base of sales, our front-end system, art design, and knowing how the presses work, allows me to pull from every aspect of the print process to make the best decisions possible when presented with a challenge.” ### Promises made, promises kept A big part of Brett’s job is ensuring that Columbine Label delivers when promised. Central to that is managing expectations in a world of ongoing supply chain issues. “In the first eight years I’ve been with Columbine, we could order whatever we needed and have it within a week or two,” Brett notes. “But over the last two years, that has changed drastically. We’re seeing lead times of six to eight months on some inventory. Nobody wants to hear that what was once so easily attainable is no longer available quickly. I work with the sales team and their customers to help everyone understand the reality of the situation and recommend substitutions on a material that will work as effectively.” ### Digital helps meet demands In the face of supply challenges, digital printing continues to be the answer to fast turnaround times. > “People want things now and digital printing has allowed that to happen. When I first started at Columbine, we had multiple flexographic presses and had just purchased a digital press about a year earlier. The flexo presses provided about a two-week lead time. But with our digital press, we have been able to consistently offer a three- to five-day turn time for years,” Brett says. “It’s a point of pride for us.” ### Teamwork and award-winning chili There’s much that Brett enjoys about working at Columbine Label. “Coming from a family that owned a small business, I know what it takes to be successful at a place like Columbine Label,” he explains. “It’s a tight-knit community here and seeing the successes of our team is very important to me. I know that any one person cannot do the job on their own. The ability to work together to a common goal and reaching that is very rewarding.” And when it comes to non-work-related fun and teambuilding at Columbine, Brett says one of the many great experiences was winning the Columbine Label chili contest. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [Labels, Stickers, and Decals; What’s the difference](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-stickers-and-decals-whats-the-difference/) **Published:** May 18, 2022 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** As defined by Merriam-Webster and Oxford Dictionary: [Label](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/labels): a slip (as of paper or cloth) inscribed and affixed to something for identification or description. [Sticker](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sticker): a slip of paper with an adhesive back that can be fastened to a surface. [Decal](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/decal): a picture, design, or label made to be transferred (as to glass) from specially prepared paper. ## **A Label sells something, a Sticker says something** In short, a **label** is used for object or product identification. Labels will provide specific and necessary information about a product such as its name, contents, ingredients, etc. Manufacturers like to receive labels on rolls for automatic label application, semi-automatic label application, or even hand application. Products such as Craft Beer, Food, and household chemicals, are examples in which you would see labels applied to them. The label is also your in-store salesperson. Its presence on the shelf can be the difference in a consumer’s purchasing decision. ![Labels on press](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Columbine-Label-White-Ink-Beer-Label-300x300.jpg) **Stickers** are typically suited for outdoor applications and are generally used for advertising and promotional purposes. They are made of durable materials such as polyester or vinyl and are produced individually cut in stacks or multiple on a sheet. Some examples of stickers include bumper stickers, logo stickers, children’s stickers, etc. ![bumper sticker on car](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/bumper-sticker-on-car-300x225.png) **Decals** generally describe the transfer of one medium to another, such as vinyl lettering and graphics. They are supplied with a pre-mask that is removed after it is adhered to a surface, ensuring the alignment of separate pieces. ![Flame decal](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Flame-decal-1-300x225.png) The three are often used synonymously; it’s no wonder why it’s confusing. “Label” is a synonym for “Sticker”, and “Bumper Sticker” is a synonym for “Decal”. After all, they each have adhesive and can be adhered to most surfaces. Various shapes, sizes, and the ability to print full-color graphics are other commonalities between the three. **Common questions** ### **Do stickers have stronger adhesive than labels?** The aggressiveness of adhesive has less to do with whether it’s a sticker or a label and more with the surface it will be applied to, the temperature during the application process, and the environment and elements the product will endure during its intended life cycle. A good, reputable label manufacturer will help you determine how aggressive your adhesive needs to be to meet the needs of your product. ### **Are vinyl stickers better?** Though vinyl stickers are typically more durable, they are not suitable for all applications. In fact, a vinyl sticker may be overkill thus costing you more than your need dictates. ### **What material do you print labels on?** Labels can be printed on paper, film, and foils. The specific product and use will dictate which material and adhesive combination are most suitable. ### **Which ones are waterproof, labels or stickers?** When a sticker is intended for outdoor use, it is typically made with durable waterproof material. Labels can also be made with [waterproof](https://columbinelabel.com/waterproof-vs-water-resistant-product-labels/) material suitable for specific product use and application. ### **Do stickers need to have a laminate?** For many printing processes, it is recommended to laminate stickers with a clear film that provides a degree of UV resistance. A laminate will protect the ink that is printed on the label, as well as the face of the label from scratches. Not all printing processes require laminate. The Domino digital press at Columbine Label prints with UV inks, so they are inherently durable and do not require a laminate. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ When working with Columbine Label, our specialized process includes getting to know you and understanding your business. Through this, we are able to ensure that you have a label, sticker, or decal that is exactly what you want and what you need. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Customer Spotlight: Finkel & Garf](https://columbinelabel.com/customer-spotlight-finkel-garf/) **Published:** June 23, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** If labels tell a brand story, Finkel & Garf craft beers are undoubtedly bold and straightforward. **Labels as bold as the brew** That is no accident according to Dan Garfinkel, owner of [Finkel & Garf Brewing Company](http://www.finkelandgarf.com/) based in Boulder, CO. When Garfinkel started the family-owned company in 2014 he says, “Our goal was to create a beer brand and taproom environment that was approachable in a complex world of craft beer. So we brew beers that are straightforward in presentation, consistent in flavor and quality, and balanced.” Having labels tell that story was critical to Garfinkel. “We wanted to make the process of choosing a beer easier, so our labels are as big, bold, and uncomplicated as our beers.” **Impressive portfolio** The company operates a 15-barrel, 8,500-square foot brewhouse designed to produce beer not only for the on-site taproom but also for bars, restaurants, and retailers throughout Colorado. Keeping up with the ever-changing consumer palette is key to Finkel & Garf’s success. “We wanted to offer a lot of variety,” says Dan. “This year, we’re on track to average two new limited-release beers a week.” ![Finkel & Garf Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DSC04339-300x214.jpg) With a quickly changing inventory and short runs of 50-plus beers a year, Dan says they made the decision from day one to use printed labels on blank cans rather than print directly onto cans. “It gave us a huge amount of flexibility,” he notes. “Rather than have a warehouse full of printed cans, we have a metro shelf that holds all of our different labels to use as needed.” He estimates the brewery has upwards of 100 different label designs. **Making it perfect** Finkel & Garf had very specific criteria for the company’s label specs based on the look, feel, and application. “We needed a solution that would enable us to label a cold wet can in line,” he explains. “The Columbine Label team worked with us to get an adhesive that would work just right on the finished product.” The substrate material and finish were equally important. “The can needs to feel good in your hand,” says Garfinkel. “We didn’t want a textured material, but we wanted it to feel substantial, not like a sticker on an aluminum can.” He says Columbine Label recommended a matte lamination that gives the label the substance he was looking for as well as extra protection for the can. “When you load the cans in a cooler of ice, you know the labels will hold up. The water-resistant lamination protects the label from scuff marks and deterioration, too.” ![Finkel & Garf Cherry Sour Label](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/SourCherryBlackCurrants_02-300x300.jpg) Dan also appreciates the expertise brought to the quality of printing. “Even when I thought the colors and everything looked great on a recent proof, they said, ‘It’s not perfect. We’re going to make it perfect.’ That is pretty damn cool.” **Keeping up with demand** Columbine Label is also able to meet Finkel & Garf’s need for fast turnaround times. “They have been able to keep up and help us stay nimble,” Dan says. “Within the three weeks it takes to brew a beer, we can get labels printed and in-house ready to apply. It’s been a breeze.” **A friend to man’s best friend** In addition to Columbine Label’s responsiveness to his label needs, perhaps the most endearing thing to Dan about the company is their shared affection for his constant companion Joey, an Australian Shepherd, and the extra mile (literally) they will go to take care of a customer. ![Joey of Finkel & Garf](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMG_3365-300x225.jpg) He tells the story of Columbine Label’s extraordinary efforts to help him and Joey in a time of need. “I went down to their office to pick up an order of labels and I had my dog with me,” he begins. “They all love Joey and play with her whenever I stop by. After they helped me load up labels, my car wouldn’t start. So Brett, the production manager, brought his car over to give me a jump. When that didn’t work, the office staff offered to watch Joey while Brett drove me to the auto parts store to get what I needed to fix it. They took two hours out of their day to help me and watch over Joey,” Dan says. “How many places are willing to do that?” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage, Customer Spotlight **Tags:** #craftbeer #coloradocraftbeer --- ### [Customer Spotlight: Cured Nutrition](https://columbinelabel.com/customer-spotlight-cured-nutrition-high-end-labels-that-grab-attention-and-sales/) **Published:** June 1, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## High-End Labels That Grab Attention and Sales ### A Google search and cold call to Columbine Label Company led Boulder-based Cured **Nutrition to a successful cure for their printing woes.** Cured Nutrition, a premium provider of hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) products, was making its mark in the growing, albeit highly competitive, CBD market. But the company had grown frustrated with the lack of responsiveness and transparency and missed delivery deadlines from their print provider at the time. **A game-changer** As Mike S., director of operations at Cured Nutrition, tells it: “We were about to undergo a complete rebranding, including labels for 15-20 SKUs, and wanted a printer that could take on the volume of work, provide the quality we needed, and maintain an open line of communication along the way. The project was too big and timeline too tight to have to babysit a vendor.” The other key criteria for selecting a new printer was specialty print capabilities. Positioned as a luxury health and wellness brand, Cured Nutrition’s rebranded products featured a high-end look on wine label stock with foil stamping, designed to help them stand out from the competition. “We did a Google search specifically looking for a print company that could run foil stamp labels,” explains Mike. “Not many printers offered that service. But Columbine Label appeared in the search results with that capability and we liked the fact that they were local. So I called them up and within an hour, I was touring their facility.” It proved to be a serendipitous decision. “Switching to Columbine Label changed the game for us,” Mike states. **Extra service** “When Mike called us and explained what they were looking for, I immediately invited him to our site for a tour,” says Christy Malone, customer support representative at Columbine Label. “We talked about their printing needs and specific criteria and I knew right away we could deliver exactly what they needed.” But with added service and expertise that proved critical to their success. Because many of Cured Nutrition’s products are oil-based tinctures in bottles, Columbine Label recommended a smarter solution: a label stock that would repel the oil and keep the ink from rubbing off the label. Columbine Label also zeroed in on the intricate design of the small labels. To ensure that the detailed design and small type would hold up during the print process, Columbine ran press proofs for Cured Nutrition to review the color, design, and overall quality output before doing a full run. “It turned out fantastic!” says Mike. “The text was very clear, the fine lines held up, we were extremely happy.” He also appreciates the ongoing communication Malone continues to provide with every order that Cured Nutrition places. “She keeps me informed of our order status every step of the way. So refreshing!” **Labels that sell more product** “We always get comments about how impressive our product looks,” Mike notes. “There’s no doubt in my mind that customers are buying our products because of how it looks. Columbine Label produces beautiful, stand-out labels for us that have helped increase our product sales.” **Final word** In a short time, Columbine Label and Cured Nutrition have forged a healthy partnership. “Columbine Label operates in a way that I wish more companies would. Their quality and attention to detail are undeniable, their pricing is fair and they’re just a pleasure to work with.” ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight, Health --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Rachel Jackson](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-rachel-jackson/) **Published:** January 20, 2021 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **Getting back to her roots and down to business** For Rachel Jackson, Columbine Label Vice President of Operations, Colorado would always be home. And Columbine Label would always be her destination. In fact, she quite literally grew up with the company. Her father, [Greg Jackson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-jackson-7a2b621/), is CEO of Columbine Label. “He has been leading the company since I was very young, so Columbine has always been a part of my life.” Before following her destiny, however, Rachel says she ventured away from home to gain new and different experiences, including most recently working as a project engineer for a large-scale commercial contractor in North Carolina. But Colorado – and Columbine – kept calling. “Earlier this year, the timing was right to come home and be a part of the family business again,” she explains. As VP of Operations, Rachel is involved in many aspects of the business. “Like a lot of employees at small businesses, I wear several hats. In my role, I handle everything from personnel management and equipment management to systems optimizations. Basically, I do whatever is needed to enable each employee here to perform their job to the best of their ability. **Father-daughter bond** The obvious question for Rachel is: What is it like working with your dad? Without hesitation, Rachel says, “It’s great! We have always been close. and personality-wise I am very much my father’s daughter which I think the other employees find quite comical.” In addition to working closely with and learning from her dad, Rachel loves the complexity of the printing industry. “Printing is just as much an art as it is a science. There are a lot of variables in production that you wouldn’t know from the outside looking in.” **A bright future for Columbine Labels’ Rachel Jackson** Rachel is excited for what the future holds for Columbine Label and how they service their clients. “Unlike many forms of print media, label printing is not going away any time soon. We have been very fortunate to become brand partners with many of our clients and help them to sell more of their products.” She also sees continuing progress in their waste reduction efforts. “We cater to many high-quality, low-quantity products, so we are always keeping an eye on how to reduce waste. One way we accomplish this is through our digital presses. They allow us to streamline production and [reduce set-up waste and overrun waste](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability/). We are always looking for new ways to reduce the amount of waste generated by label production.” **Free time and football** When she’s not juggling print shop hats, Rachel enjoys yoga, dancing, hiking, skiing, learning to play tennis with her mom – and watching Kansas State football with friends and family. Go, Wildcats! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Employee Spotlight --- ### [Customer Spotlight: Tony’s Meats & Market Bye-bye, inefficient in-house printing.](https://columbinelabel.com/customer-spotlight-tonys-meats-market-bye-bye-inefficient-in-house-printing/) **Published:** July 30, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Like many companies that have printed their own product labels in-house, Tony’s Meats & Market determined the labor- and time-intensive task they had been handling for years was better left to the experts. That led Tony’s to Columbine Label, their business neighbor located just down the street from their main office, and to finally retire their in-house thermal printer for good. **In the beginning** Established in 1978 as a butcher shop, located off Dry Creek in Centennial Colorado, Tony’s Meats & Market now operates four full-service deli locations in the Denver area offering fresh meats, seafood, cheeses, fresh produce, prepared and frozen foods, baked goods, and catering services. For years, the business had been printing all of the labels for their private label and commissary items. “We spent an exorbitant amount of time every day producing labels,” explains Jessica Wolford, Marketing Manager at Tony’s. “We would wind the labels on the cores ourselves and send to our store locations. It was completely inefficient and unsustainable.” **Hello, efficiency and service** Seeking a better solution, Wolford turned to Columbine Label who had done a job or two for them in the past. Columbine customer support representative Jennifer Adams recalls: “I got an email from Jessica explaining that their in-house capabilities were becoming obsolete. She said they loved working with us in the past and wanted quotes for all their label needs.” Being located blocks from each other was a big plus. Wolford says Adams personally drops off orders and picks up samples, helping them save on delivery costs. “But their customer service is really what won us over. Jennifer returns our messages immediately. She has become an amazing resource for us.” Tony’s Meats & Market now orders all of its labels through Columbine. Printing in-house is a distant memory. “Thanks to Jennifer’s recommendations, we streamlined our label sizes and increased our print runs to make the process more efficient and cost-effective,” states Wolford. “She also works closely with our designer to select the best label material for our needs.” **A true partnership** “It’s so gratifying to help a local business improve the way they work,” states Adams. “We value our partnership with Tony’s.” The feeling is mutual. Wolford says, “We just love working with Columbine Label. They’re fast, efficient and we get a level of customer service that you won’t find with a giant printer or online, faceless print provider.” A resounding endorsement any way you slice it. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Customer Spotlight, Food --- ### [FROM OUR PRESIDENT: No surprises…we promise.](https://columbinelabel.com/from-our-president-no-surpriseswe-promise/) **Published:** December 11, 2019 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** *By Greg Jackson, CEO Columbine Label Company* I might be dating myself with this, but there’s a fantastically memorable Holiday Inn [TV commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNh5uY1ePcA&feature=youtu.be) from the 1970s where a hotel clerk breaks the bad news to a weary traveler and his wife that the hotel never received their reservation, gleefully telling the couple “Sur-priiiise!” Then the voice-over comes on and says “…Holiday Inn thinks the best surprise is no surprise.” I find the message in this classic ad more relevant than ever today. When I took the helm at Columbine Label Company, I made it a top priority to continue providing the high level of service and satisfaction that this company was known for. To make that happen, we have to live by our promises. With every order, we hold ourselves to a high standard of print quality and delivery satisfaction. From beverage products to health and beauty packages, our customers are turning out new and more products at a breakneck pace. Our job is to keep up with that demand and the quality our customers expect. In other words, we do what we say we’ll do – no surprises for our customers. Sounds good, right? But we don’t just say it, we *track* it. Here are our latest promise measurements: ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Picture1.png)No brag, just fact. ## **Managing expectations** So how do we hit those numbers? It really starts with managing expectations upfront. Just as our customers know their business better than anyone else, at Columbine Label, we understand the sometimes-crazy nature of the printing business extremely well – its idiosyncrasies, potential hiccups, and demanding deadlines. With that knowledge and experience, we aim to set proper expectations for our customers so they know exactly what we can deliver – and when. For example, one of the services our customer’s value is short lead times – often three days after approval of proof. Our customers work in the fast lane and we strive to keep up with demand. If we can accommodate rushes, we will. But if our press schedules are full, we give customers a reasonable and attainable delivery date. No promises we can’t meet, and no surprises. ### **A company-wide sentiment** Something else that helps us attain high promise marks is that our “do what we say we’re going to do” mantra is embraced by our employees across the board – from our fabulous front office staff to our topnotch customer service representatives to our plant crew and press operators who could be described by some as miracle workers. And while we may not always be perfect, we will be the first to admit it and make things right. Ultimately, we treat customers the way we want to be treated ourselves. ### **The customer is always right?** Now you might be sitting there thinking “Of course, he’s going to say these wonderful things about Columbine Label, he’s the *president*!” And you might be right. So I’d like to humbly leave you with a five-star Google Review we received recently from a customer: ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Big-Bs-Logo.jpg) [Seth Schwartz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102520678647488325800/reviews) ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/5-star.png) We have been working with Columbine Label since 2003.

In fact, they do a lot of the heavy lifting for your product. Labels are essential for providing necessary information about a product, from graphic illustrations to the ingredients to the safety precautions to the tracking information, and more. In fact, often, in a mere split second, we know what we are purchasing because of the use of colorful, graphic illustrations. But more than that, your brand identity and differentiation are intertwined with your product label. Labels that are consistent, high quality, and innovative generate vital consumer engagement by eliciting visual interest so your product is not overlooked in the perpetual swirl of abundance and choice consumers face today. Before you ever place a product on a shelf or post it on your website, however, you have to press rewind and start from the beginning to ensure that your product features a quality, eye-catching label that sells. **Six steps to achieve eye-catching, quality labels** In label material and printing, all are not created equal. Establishing the proper foundation and building upon that with thoughtful steps and quality checks throughout the production process is vital to creating final, high-quality labels. Important steps include: **1. Raw material selection.** The most vital step in any operation is building a solid foundation. This first step is comprised of two parts: application discovery and material suitability qualification. Asking a lot of questions upfront ensures that the application requirements are fully vetted so that the appropriate products are recommended. Then qualifying the material selection mitigates risks of a mismatch between label material and application requirements. **2. Art file profiling.** Checking the art file before printing makes certain that all images are high resolution and all graphics and fonts are available and in place for print production. **3. Pre-press checks and balances.** Files must be prepared and matched to the specific printing method to be employed. **4. Customer proofing.** Customers must do a final check and approval of files prior to printing to ensure that all the details are exactly as intended. **5. Color measurement.** Consistent and accurate colors are essential in all label designs and applications, every single time, without exception. Reliance on the naked eye for color measurement is inadequate. State-of-the-art color measurement technology, known as Delta E, safeguards the accuracy and consistency of color measurements. **6. Comprehensive quality control checks.** Quality should be checked at every point in the label production process: pre-print, at print, and post-print. There are 8-10 people who typically handle each step of the process and each one needs to also have quality control responsibilities. **Final checklist to getting it right** Once the label is produced, the end-user will assess quality from the lens of the end-user. Here are some factors to think about that drive end-user label quality: - Is the color properly matched to brand guidelines? - Is the color uniform throughout the entire print run of labels and from order to order? (mixed product batches are often put side-by-side on the shelf) - Is print registration precise and uniform? - Are the graphics clear, crisp, non-smudging, and free of mottling, fading, or scratches? - Does the label adhere to the surface of the substrate with no edge lifting, puckering, or wrinkling and maintain integrity for the entire product life cycle? - Is the label properly positioned on the substrate? - Is the facestock durability suitable for the application, with resistance to humidity, moisture, temperature, chemicals, or other harsh conditions? - Is the liner selection appropriate for your processing requirements, including die cutting and application of label? A stellar-looking label makes a strong first impression and helps create brand awareness, as well as communicate key product information. Regardless of the actual quality of the retail product, including the use of the freshest and most delicious ingredients, faulty labeling can result in the product being deemed inferior and unworthy of purchase. Once the negative impression is perceived, it can be difficult to “refresh” and recover. That’s why starting with the proper foundation and then carefully building and checking each step throughout the production process is the best approach; always, and for each and every application. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips **Tags:** custom label checklist, Label materials, Quality Labels --- ### [What you don’t know about labels could hurt you (and your sales)](https://columbinelabel.com/what-you-dont-know-about-labels-could-hurt-you/) **Published:** April 17, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** Does the look and feel of your label really matter? In a word, yes! Label look and feel definitely matter in consumer product selection. Let’s look at some stats that illustrate this point. According to one source, only one-third of consumer retail purchases are pre-planned, leaving last-minute impulses to almost 70 percent of purchases! As consumers, customization and a plethora of choices further drive our retail buying behavior. Thus, more and more products and extensions of products are being introduced, elevating the value of shelf space and, in turn, dictating that brands become increasingly innovative and creative to secure that coveted attention. Label look and feel play an important role in attracting and captivating consumer attention – in a very short and limited span of seconds. In retail, “eye level is buying level”, so any other location on the shelf requires even more from the label as it must garner extra consumer time and attention to get noticed. In fact, research suggests that the average shelf-shopper begins making their buying decision at eye level, works from left to right, and ultimately makes their final decision in less than eight seconds. With all this talk about visual appeal, eyepopping, and beautiful labels, let’s clarify an important point: A label is not just another pretty face. Like each of us, it also has style, personality, and a certain – and oft-misunderstood – level of complexity. The style and personality of a label are what visually grab consumer attention, while the behind-the-scenes component selection and integrity ensure suitable performance for the application and end-use. Label performance translates into visual appeal as improper material selection, printing, or application processes can lead to label failure. While a pressure-sensitive label may seem like a simple structure to many, some even unabashedly referring to it as “sticky paper”, there is much to be considered. Material varies based on the demands of the application as well as the entire supply chain from *raw material >> design >> printing >> application >> end-use*. Shortcuts or gaps in knowledge, experience or production steps can be highly detrimental to label form and function. Simply stated, a lot can go wrong, so careful consideration of ap­plication requirements, end-use environments and usage details are critical when choosing the best combination of label components for application-specific needs. **Understanding label components and their role in proper application selection** Before you even create a design for your label, it’s critical to understand label construction and how it impacts the print quality and your specific application. The components of a pressure-sensitive label are topcoat, facestock, primer, adhesive, release coating, and release liner. **Topcoat or Overlaminate:** A topcoat is a matte, semi-gloss, or gloss finish applied to the facestock to provide protection and is applied after color printing. A topcoat label can give a product shelf appeal and also provide protection from harsh chemicals, sunlight, temperature variations, scuffing, and moisture. Overlaminates are film-based materials used to provide an additional layer of resistance to environmental conditions and add a finish such as gloss or matte. **Facestock:** Any material, including paper, film, fabric, metallics, and colors can be a facestock. The facestock material helps determine the finished label look and function. In general, the paper material is more economical than films or foils that are often used in the health and beauty markets. Facestock flexibility is another important consideration in label selection and is often driven by substrate size and shape. Certain facestocks offer extra durability like a latex impregnated paper stock, which is better suited for applications requiring moisture resistance or requiring added flexibility versus a standard paper option. **Adhesive:** There are three categories of adhesives: permanent, removable, and cold temperature. Adhesive selection is dependent upon a myriad of factors, including permanent or removable; substrate to which the label is being applied; application temperature or temperature at which the label will initially be applied to the product; service temperature or temperature the label will withstand after 24-hour application to the substrate; rough versus smooth substrate; curved versus flat substrate; special regulatory requirements. Substrate surface characteristics matter in adhesive selection as well – such as smooth, rough, glossy exteriors. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of debris and oils prior to label application to ensure optimal adhesive performance. **Release Coating:** The release coating, which is also known as the release lacquer or silicone coat, provides a means by which the pressure-sensitive label is afforded the ability to release. **Release Liner:** The release liner functions as the carrier for the label. It protects the adhesive prior to application, and then readily separates from the label when applying the label to the substrate or container. A consistent release of the liner is especially important during the automatic application of the die-cut label material to the final end-use container. So, while labels might seem somewhat simple, in reality, there are many technical attributes and key considerations that determine proper material selection and functionality to ensure application and end-use success. What you don’t know could hurt you – and end-user sales. Understanding and making appropriate material selections – component by component as described here – is the essential foundation of labels that work AND sell. You don’t need to be an expert, just informed. A quality printing partner should be able to put you on the path to success. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [Five Tips to Engaging Label Designs](https://columbinelabel.com/five-tips-to-engaging-label-designs/) **Published:** May 6, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## When it comes to a label, looks matter, and the stats prove it In one study, 93 percent of consumers deemed a product’s visual appearance as the most important factor in their product purchase choices. Thus, label appearance has big implications. It is a primary driver of your revenue. When we effectively engage consumer minds – within mere seconds — the dollars follow. So it is important to reverse engineer “label appearance” and understand what truly engages – and potentially disengages — consumers. Let’s take a look at the five most compelling tips for creating engaging label designs. ### Tip 1. Get Organized Organizing a label design is a must-needed initial step. Our brains scan information in specific patterns, known as the Gutenberg rule or Z-pattern of processing. In order to create an engaging order of information, it’s helpful to understand how the human eye and brain view information. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Gutenberg-Pattern-1024x753.png)Based on the Gutenberg pattern shown above, the eye will sweep across and down a label or page in a diagonal pattern from the primary optical area to the terminal area. That diagonal is known as reading gravity. For prime labels, a helpful rule of thumb is to strategically place key information within this pattern to help maximize customer engagement. ### Tip 2. Information Underload Knowing the primary label areas to populate with your most important information is helpful for design. However, it is essential to resist overpopulating the label design, in all areas, with too much information. The goal is “information underload”, to prevent overwhelming and disengaging consumers. A good rule of thumb is to limit key points and messages: a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 7 for each viewable section of the label. ### Tip 3. Images Engage Given the talented designers that craft labels, it’s no secret that pictures and images are powerful influencers on the path to purchase. Using high-impact and highly relevant images taps into consumers’ emotions and can instantaneously create a connection with a product – or not. Thus, selecting appropriate imagery that is not overly complex, in design and colors, goes a long way in helping to communicate and connect with consumers who are making split-second decisions on which product to pick up and purchase. In imagery, a good rule of thumb is to start with your customer in mind and design graphics from the customer’s perspective vs. from your company’s perspective. ### Tip 4. Less is More As the famed Renaissance artist Leonardo DaVinci said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” In label design, that rings very true. Having the design discipline to intentionally minimize font choices, font weights, and limit lines of text is a good practice. An overcrowded, overly complex label can readily become an ignored label. A recommended rule of thumb is to employ two fonts, averaging seven words per line and using a maximum of three lines of text before a spacing break. ### Tip 5. Function Matters In label design, the [functionality of the label](/what-you-dont-know-about-labels-could-hurt-you/) is an important and oft-overlooked component of visual appearance. On store shelves, edge-lifts are an absolute no. As are crooked or un-centered labels, which the eye can unconsciously detect and process as substandard product quality. And of course, the print quality of the label, including colors, print registration, and label-to-label consistency is of paramount importance to visual appearance and appeal. A tried-and-true rule of thumb is to partner with a label supplier who obsesses about quality on multiple levels and for each and every order so that your product presents its’ most beautiful face on the store shelf. Using these five tips as label design guideposts can help ensure your labels engage consumers, boost preference for your products and ultimately help drive your revenue. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** News and Tips --- ### [2018 Top Company Award](https://columbinelabel.com/2018-top-company-award/) **Published:** November 15, 2018 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** ## **Columbine Label Company Named 2018 Top Company in Manufacturing for Colorado by ColoradoBiz** ColoradoBiz Top Company award acknowledges the drive, excellence, and influence of Columbine Label as a growing company in the state, and recognizes companies for their community involvement, growth in financial performance, and outstanding achievement.

And it all starts with the graphics. Just ask Meredith A., Creative Manager, with [Half Acre Beer Co](https://www.halfacrebeer.com/)., a Chicago-based microbrewery that crafts an impressive flight of core and specialty release beer in bottles and cans. “We take our visuals very seriously,” she explains. “If the physical label can’t support the art, then our work is all in vain.” **Experience, expertise – and experimenting** Established in 2007, the craft brewery has more than a decade of experience designing creative, high-quality graphics for its product. The trick was finding a print provider that could do their work justice and provide an equally high caliber of service. Enter Columbine Label Company. Sales representative Jennifer Adams has been servicing the account since 2011. “Half Acre Beer is one of our best customers,” she says. “They love standing out and exploring new printing techniques and ideas,” such as foils, hot stamping, and textured label stock. “If we’re ever experimenting with something new, they’re game!” **Finding a printing hero** From Half Acre Beer’s standpoint, Columbine Label has been a saving grace. “They have come through for us in a serious way so many times,” says Meredith. “It’s not something you expect from every vendor.” What have these heroics entailed? “Running down to stop the presses when I found a typo,” laughs Meredith, as well as working closely with the brewery’s designers to make their ideas a reality and meeting tight shipping times. **Meeting new needs** The partnership with Half Acre Beer and Columbine Label also includes making adjustments at the production level. The brewery recently upgraded its label machine for cans that ran much faster than before. Jennifer worked with them to upgrade and qualify new webbing to handle the increased speed without tearing in production. **Public recognition** “We got tons of feedback in person and online about our product designs,” Meredith says. Half Acre Beer also has been featured frequently in industry publications for its artwork. “A lot of people on social media ask us who prints our labels, thinking we might keep it a secret. But we’re happy to tell everyone it’s Columbine Label Company!” **A relationship worth keeping** “I receive an impossibly large amount of emails from vendors seeking our business,” says Meredith. “But knowing who we’re working with and what level of service we can expect is very important to us. It’s just not worth giving up the relationship we have with Jennifer and Columbine Label to save a few cents.” We’ll drink to that! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage, Customer Spotlight --- ### [Pepper Power: Fiery Foods and the New Superfood, Chili Peppers](https://columbinelabel.com/pepper-power-fiery-foods-new-superfood-chili-peppers/) **Published:** July 2, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** We like fiery foods. Hot sauce, spicy jams, green chili pickles, barbeque sauce, you name it, we’ve helped label it – and likely eaten it. Maybe it’s because our headquarters are located in the southwest. Here at Columbine Label, we enjoy our chili pepper based foods and admire our customers that concoct them. That’s one reason why we are honored to sponsor the event that heralds our fiery food customers: The Scovie Awards. [It’s time to submit your award entry.](https://form.jotform.com/fieryfoods/2021-scovie-awards-entry-form) While deliciousness is the primary reason we enjoy fiery foods, chili peppers do more than just make food tasty. Chilis work in many ways to improve our health and wellbeing. Check out these interesting tidbits that might help you appreciate those spicy little peppers just a little bit more: **Chilis, Chilis, Everywhere** Most people have heard of jalapeno, cayenne, and habanero peppers. Chili types, however, are quite prolific due to the ability of chili plants to mutate rapidly. Estimates range from hundreds to thousands of types of chili peppers grown around the world. They are grown in many locations including Texas, Mexico, India, China, Japan, Thailand, Peru and beyond. **Chilis = Superfood** There are some pretty potent health benefits packed into the small but mighty little chili pepper. It is capsaicin (“cap-SAY-uh-sin”), the chili heat source that provides numerous upsides to our wellbeing. **Better heart health.** Chili peppers help breakdown and thus lower cholesterol. They also impede the gene that contracts arteries to help improve blood flow to the heart and other organs. We <3 chilis. **Endorphins and dopamine.** Hot pepper-based foods release endorphins and dopamine in our brains, creating an “I feel-amazing” sensation. Those endorphins also help to ease sore muscles and lessen arthritis through a chili-triggered neuropeptide inhibitor that prevents inflammation. **Cancer prevention.** It’s true! Chili peppers help prevent cancer, most notably specific types such as prostate cancer. Chilis do this by catalyzing the demise of cancer cells in our bodies and eliminating free radicals in our system, both of which help prevent cancer. **Vitamin-rich.** Chilis are packed with two key vitamins: Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both potent antioxidants that help boost our immune systems. In fact, chili peppers boast more Vitamin C (107 mg) than — you guessed it – oranges (69 mg). **Breathe easier.** Nasal spray containing capsaicin aids in clearing allergy-based nasal congestion. Ah, relief. Eating fiery foods mean less sinus pain and easier breathing. **Natural painkiller.** Cayenne pepper can alleviate pain and stop bleeding. Some people sprinkle cayenne pepper on a mild injury or soak a bandage in it to help stem bleeding. **“The Soup of the Devil”** Chili peppers have been around for over 6,000 years. During the height of the Spanish Inquisition, in the early 1600s, chili peppers were first used to make the spicy stew known as “chili” with meat, tomatoes, and chilis. Spanish priests were not fans of chili. In fact, they considered it a sinful indulgence, calling it “the soup of the devil” because of its spiciness and aphrodisiac characteristics. Nonetheless, chili persevered and today, the chili pepper continues to entice and satisfy our taste buds and – surprisingly – help improve our health in many ways. If you are a fiery food, chili pepper enthusiast, then we encourage you to submit your entry to the Scovie Awards – or at least follow along to get the skinny on some amazing developments and award-winning fiery foodstuffs. *[Scovie Awards](http://www.scovieawards.com/)* Viva el chili! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Food --- ### [Employee Spotlight: Bobby Parker](https://columbinelabel.com/employee-spotlight-bobby-parker/) **Published:** July 29, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** **The man behind the machine** Impeccably printed labels don’t happen by accident. It takes a skilled press operator with high standards and an eye for quality. That’s where Bobby Parker comes in. Bobby runs Columbine Label’s Domino/BossJet digital press. This hybrid system is a digital UV ink jet press with flexographic and die cutting capabilities. One of the plant’s powerhouse printers, it is designed to handle large runs and shrink sleeves faster than other digital assets and can accommodate embellishments such as cold foil. As the man behind the machine, Bobby explains, “Because of its speed and all-in-one capabilities, the Domino/BossJet produces finished labels as soon as they come off the machine without the extra step of going to our die cutters. That allows us to run larger quantity orders with the same turnaround as small runs.” **Long-time print pro** Bobby knows his way around a print press. He’s been in the business since 1989. Prior to joining Columbine Label in 2017, he worked as a press operator running both flexo and digital machines. He is not only qualified to run them, but also to maintain them. He says, “I am Maintenance Certified on the Domino and Level 3 Maintenance Certified on the HP 6800 so I am able to troubleshoot issues, reduce downtime and keep the systems running at top efficiency.” **Taking pride in quality** As a print professional, Bobby places top priority on attention to detail to achieve high standards. “My job is to ensure that our customers get a quality product in a timely fashion. I don’t like putting my name on something that doesn’t look good!” Bobby thrives in an environment of high standards. “I enjoy the challenge of a tough order and producing a quality product.” His positive attitude and skills as a press operator help Columbine Label fulfill its mantra, ***We do what we say we are going to do***. Bobby takes pride in the company’s ability to meet or exceed our timelines while providing quality labels. He also says he appreciates that Columbine Label is a privately owned company that “cares about their employees as much as their customers.” **From vacation to vocation** A native of southern Indiana, Bobby says his family began spending vacations in Colorado in 2009 and fell in love with the weather and the mountains. Lucky for Columbine Label, he decided to move his home and career to the Centennial State. When he’s not running the press, Bobby enjoys off roading, hunting and exploring the Colorado scenery with his wife [Erin](https://columbinelabel.com/print-custom-labels/) who also works at Columbine Label in Customer Support.

That *thing* was craft spirits. But it wouldn’t be fully realized until Littleton, CO, passed a law allowing micro distilleries, microbreweries and wineries in 2013. “I just fell in love with the industry,” Evans explains. “Craft distillers are mavericks, entrepreneurial people.” Much like the man himself. No stranger to running his own businesses, Evans applied the business acumen and self-employed spirit he cultivated over the years to break ground on his new venture in 2015 – Rocker Spirits, a [distillery](http://www.rockerspirits.com/) and taproom, converted from an old mechanics garage in downtown Littleton. Evans rounded out his team of what he calls “killers.” Hardworking, creative, resourceful, passionate people who “kill it” in their area of expertise: Nick Hutchinson, distiller, and John Stefanski, beverage director. Together, they have forged what is known as the *Rocker* *Republic*, a following of customers as passionate about the Rocker Spirits experience as they are. Evans describes the distillery as a “cool place to visit with family and friends where you can taste our product and immerse yourself in our brand.” **Rocking the bottle design** The journey to founding Rocker Spirits and building Rocker Republic, however, was measured and methodical. Much like the process of crafting finely aged whiskey, vodka and rum, which takes three years of aging in barrels before bottling. Evans’ plan for success started with the [bottle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=226&v=gcAXkmf2HZU&feature=emb_logo). “I knew if we were going to enter this market, we couldn’t be just another square bottle. It could take 10 years to establish a brand. But we wanted to stand out right away. And the bottle was going to be our differentiating point, so we invested in the bottle first.” The unique design of Rocker Spirits bottle was inspired by Evans’ love of industrial design and picking through junkyards for vintage treasures. He explains, “I grew up in Montana from humble beginnings. I had to make my own toys and use my imagination, so the industrial era really speaks to me. It was a time in American history when we made things with our hands. Things had style.” On one junkyard treasure hunt, Evans came across a rusty old automotive oil can with two handles that rocked back in place after you used it. That discovery provided the creative spark for Rocker Spirits award-winning design. It took numerous design iterations to achieve the perfect balance of art and science that Evans’ team sought. “The bottle embodies the name and the experience. It rocks back into place after you pour it. You see that once, and you never forget you’re having Rocker Spirits,” Evans says. He credits O-I Glass, the bottle designer and manufacturer, for bringing his vision and brand to life. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Rocker-Spirits-4.jpg) **Completing the package** With a rockin’ bottle in hand, the next challenge was developing a label that stayed true to the vintage style of the spirits’ vessel. Again, Evans and his creative team turned to industrial design for inspiration. “The front face on our bottle is round, so we took creative cues from old automotive gauges,” he explains. “Speedometers, tachometers, oil pressure gauges, temperature gauges.” Turning the label designs into works of art on par with the bottle design required a printer up to the task. “When I first spoke with Evans, it was very apparent how passionate he was about his product and his new venture,” says Jennifer Adams, sales representative with Columbine Label. “Duston came to us with very high standards.” After spending so much effort and creative capital on the package, he wanted the label to be of equal quality and uniqueness. Evans says that in the early packaging development stage, before working with Columbine Label, they had considered direct-to-bottle screen printing, known as Applied Ceramic Labeling (ACL), with another printer. But Evans determined that process was too costly and too restrictive to pursue. He recalls that when he broke the news to the printer rep and told him they were going with a more traditional paper label, she replied,” You’re going to put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari??” Evans still gets a laugh out of that story, but he knows the choice was the right one. “Paper labels fit the vintage style and feel we were going for.” Adams says, “We sampled almost every material on the floor and played with different colors and different printing techniques to get it just right.” Evans admits, “I had a vision, but it wasn’t clear. I had to put them through the rigors of process to achieve what I wanted.’ But the process was worth it. “Jennifer was instrumental in helping us plot our course. She and the Columbine Label team brought clarity to our vision and reaffirmed our decision to go with paper labels.” **Savoring the success** The final designs of Rocker Spirits labels feature two different foils and embossing on a textured paper substrate. “It’s a very technical run,” explains Adams,“ requiring multiple passes through our equipment.” Columbine Label was able to provide Evans and his team with digital proofs that simulated the look of the foil and embossing techniques before investing in the final tooling. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Rocker-Spirits-3.png.jpg) Rocker Spirits labels are not only a great source of pride for the distiller, but also for Columbine Label. “Any time a customer wants to see samples of our work, we show them Rocker Spirits,” Adams says. “Their labels showcase our capabilities and the creativity you can achieve with special effects.” Like his other partners on the Rocker Spirits journey to success, Evans gives high praise to Adams and Columbine Label. “Jennifer was willing to put up with our struggle to achieve what we wanted. That means a lot to us.” He continues, “You’re only as good as your employees. And the leadership and staff at Columbine Label are what makes them so good at what they do.” He adds, “There are so many faceless companies right now. But we like seeing and talking to the people helping bring our brand to market. We’ve found that with Columbine Label.” That makes for kindred spirits that rock. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** Beverage, Customer Spotlight --- ### [FROM OUR PRESIDENT Navigating COVID times: Wins, Losses, Lessons Learned](https://columbinelabel.com/from-our-president-navigating-covid-times-wins-losses-lessons-learned-2/) **Published:** August 31, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** *By Greg Jackson, CEO Columbine Label Company* Columbine Label COVID: The past six months of 2020 have been kind of a blur. Everyone has been facing unprecedented challenges, concerns, decisions (and even new opportunities) on a professional and personal level that often change on a weekly, and sometimes daily, basis. But I feel like we have reached a point where we can take a collective breath and reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re heading – an assessment of wins, losses, and lessons learned if you will. **• Agility** – Businesses have adapted nimbly to serve their markets in new ways. For example, we have many customers in the craft beer industry. With taprooms closed, brewers have retrenched operations to canning their brew and selling it curbside. Others are shifting their can size from 12-ounce to 32-ounce crowlers. Makers of hand-craft food products who relied on sales at farmer’s markets and other in-person channels have revved up their online presence. (Go [here](/how-to-make-your-product-stand-out-in-a-virtual-world/) for some great tips on how to make your product stand out online.) The small, entrepreneurial businesses that we serve are used to bumps in the road on their journey to success. The past few months have just been a little bumpier than usual, but they bring their same determination and grit to overcome the new challenges. That’s always a win in my book. • **Seamless service** – 60 percent of our business is the food and beverage industry and, like printing, they have been designated as essential services. That means we have to continue delivering quality, on-time labels as seamlessly as pre-pandemic days. Fortunately, due to the nature of printing, we already had ample social distancing throughout most of our print shop so we didn’t miss a beat there. Our sales reps and office staff began working remotely but rotate through the office during the week making sure orders are placed into production. And courier services continue to run deliveries daily. I am proud to say we are able to continue meeting our standard three-day lead time. (See our on-time and early shipment rating [here](https://columbinelabel.com/).) **• Technology** – A big part of the seamless service “win” is technology. Just before the pandemic restrictions took place, we had implemented new workflow software that streamlines the pre-press process and catches potential issues early in the stream. This has been instrumental in helping us meet lead times, and other cloud-based office software has enabled us to remote work easily and successfully. **• Increased productivity and flexibility** – A number of our employees live an hour or more from our site. Remote work freed them up from time-consuming commutes. We have also been able to work around the schedules of employees whose children are in school or daycare. Another huge win. **LOSSES** I’ll come back to this in a minute. **LESSONS LEARNED** • **Our process is working** – With major shifts in processing print jobs and interfacing with customers during the pandemic shutdown, our quality control process has been put to the test. The last few months have confirmed that our processes are solid. Always a refreshing lesson. In fact, our quality index since 2009 is currently at 99.14 percent. • **Better work-life balance** – We’ve always tried to create better work-life balance at Columbine Label. Like many companies, this situation forced us to flatten that learning curve quickly. Sure, there are plenty of distractions at home, but there are distractions in the office too. Without a daily commute and the other challenges of in-office work, everyone working remotely is able to get their work done and is happier for it. If the pandemic ended tomorrow, we would not go back to “business as usual” with work schedules in the front office. When that day comes, we will strike a happy medium that allows employees to continue enjoying more work-life balance. **BACK TO THE LOSSES** The devastation in the wake of the COVID-19 cannot be understated. In this country alone, hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost and millions of jobs eliminated, wages cut or hours reduced. However, we are beginning to see glimmers of hope on both the health care and economic fronts that can help stem the losses felt in households, businesses, and entire communities around the world. Closer to home (and by that, I mean in the [Columbine Label COVID world](https://youtu.be/32ayUJo5KGA)), losses are thankfully minimal. We have been able to maintain our workforce, safety protocols are firmly in place and adhered to, and business remains strong and steady. The one thing I do notice, however, is that a remote work environment doesn’t lend itself to the camaraderie and spontaneity we usually have in the office when we’re all together. It’s a small loss in comparison to the greater losses experienced during this time. But I have a feeling it is a universal loss felt in many companies today. I always say the less planning and more spontaneity, the better. It breeds energy, ideas, and teamwork – the lifeblood of business. But I know we’ll get back to those days. In the meantime, we look forward to continuing to serve our customers every day and helping them navigate these times of uncertainty. Columbine Label COVID hours have not changed from our regular hours of 8 am to 4:30 pm M-F. Entry to the building is limited, but we are here to serve you. Stay well, stay safe and stay positive. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d4ebe845266363b795c4dc0548c15f5e56cdc0c716cee19e43042c2d60eeb9d?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Bernadette Ortiz [See Full Bio](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) [ ](https://columbinelabel.com/author/bernadettecolumbinelabel-com/) **Categories:** From Our President --- ### [How to Succeed in the World of White Label](https://columbinelabel.com/how-to-succeed-in-the-world-of-white-label-private-label/) **Published:** September 24, 2020 **Author:** Bernadette Ortiz **Content:** The white label / private label business is red hot. Leading the pack in the ecommerce space is Amazon’s AmazonBasics line, in addition to its family of in-house brand offerings under the “Our Brands” label. At an [estimated $60.8 billion](https://blog.thomasnet.com/how-private-label-manufacturers-can-increase-sales) in size with growth rates north of 41 percent, white label / private label is positioned to skyrocket for the foreseeable future. Recent statistics further spotlight the staggering growth of white label and private label products: • In Q1 2020 alone, [store brand sales](https://www.plma.com/share/press/FOR_IMMEDIATE_RELEASE/Nielsen_reports_store_brands_gains_during_coronavirus_crisis.pdf) increased 15 percent, or about $4.9 billion over the same period in 2019. • In this same period, [store brands in all U.S. retailers grew](https://www.plma.com/share/press/FOR_IMMEDIATE_RELEASE/Nielsen_reports_store_brands_gains_during_coronavirus_crisis.pdf) 14.6 percent in dollar volume, compared to gains 11.5 percent for national brands. • Just as telling, [manufacturing sourcing activity](https://blog.thomasnet.com/how-private-label-manufacturers-can-increase-sales) in private label is up 45 percent year over year. What’s driving this growth? And how can it help you and your business? **White Label vs. Private Label** First, let’s clear up the distinction between white label and private label. A white label product is a generic product manufactured by one company and sold to more than one retailer/e-tailer. These white label products are particularly common in three primary sectors – personal care, supplements, and food. Private label, on the other hand, is exclusively created for a specific retailer. These are popular with grocery store chains and big box retailers. Think Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand or Target’s Up&Up and its newer flagship brand, Good & Gather, which encompasses over [2,000 products](https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2019/08/good-and-gather) across food and beverage. **Why it’s hot** Both white label and private label brands present tremendous market share opportunities because consumers are ripe for it. According to [eMarketer](https://www.emarketer.com/content/private-labels-influence-retailer-choice), “Private labels are the reason many shoppers choose particular retailers; 66 percent said that if they like a retailer, they generally assume they will also have good store brand products.” Millennials, now [24 percent](https://www.nielsen.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/04/global-private-label-report.pdf) of the world’s population, are particularly open to trying new products – and that includes private label. This generation is also focused on product value and information gathering. This up-and-coming generation will purchase private label brands if their own research indicates those products are on par with name brands. In [one study](https://www.emarketer.com/content/private-labels-influence-retailer-choice), 54 percent of millennials said their choice of retailer is influenced by the private labels carried there. What’s more, at least half of millennials surveyed said they would buy private label products in any category; 48 percent said they expected to buy more private label brands next year. Fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has also created a bigger push in white label/private label as more brands are marketing direct to consumers via ecommerce. According to a recent [Thomas Report](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1d176gReK7H5XNXWPaxwdkokWEz-I4neIpYdmlLFZklQ/edit#slide=id.g823e4d9f1d_0_175), 84 percent of manufacturers cited their website as one of the most important avenues to reach new customers after the pandemic started — an increase from 72 percent before the COVID-19 outbreak. Utilizing an online presence to build awareness with consumers helps them compete with established digital competitors. The rise and appeal of internet-only businesses also creates growing demand for white label products, especially in emerging markets, and can help level the playing field with private labels. White label products are suited to low minimums and short lead-times, which is ideal for small and start-up businesses without a brick and mortar presence. **Market smart** To attract consumer eyes and dollars with white label / private label products, some of the same rules apply as they do to national brands. Based on white label / private label volume, growth and the elevated importance of print consistency, the label, the leading marketing vehicle, often has more rigorous requirements from the label producer. Consumer packaged goods marketers playing in the white label field must: • **Promote a unique selling point**: whether it’s price, quality, sustainability, organically made/grown, etc. • **Build brand awareness**: create a consistent, identifiable branding look and message • **Foster brand loyalty**: implement loyalty programs, member discounts, personalized offers or other programs to incentivize repeat business • **Showcase appealing, high-quality product packaging/labels**: packaging is one of a product’s best brand ambassadors. Graphics should be eye catching, compelling and convey brand image and quality in a matter of seconds. High quality labels can often be the decision-making factor in a white label product purchase.

Wine bottle labels, health products, and beauty products, just to name a few, often feature this specialty technique. But embossing – the process that creates a raised image or shape on the paper – has also served a highly functional and noble purpose as early as the 1700s. In 1786, Valentin Haüy, founder of the first school for the blind, published the first book embossed with raised letters made specifically for blind people to read. It was the forerunner to the Braille system of raised lettering, now widely adopted around the world. ### **What is embossed printing?** To create the embossed effect during printing, the desired artwork is pressed into the paper surface between an etched metal die and counter die with heat and force. This same process can also be used to create an indented or depressed image, which is called debossing. It doesn’t take much to give that three-dimensional effect. Most embossing is less than 15 microns, with the average emboss depth approximately 1/64th of an inch. Label materials are typically thinner and therefore will affect the depth of the emboss. **Below are examples of an actual [emboss](https://columbinelabel.com/labels/) plate and the process of inserting the plate into the press:** ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/embossed-blog-img.png) ### **The visual impact of embossed labels** Debossing might be small in measurement, but it can be high in impact. That’s because it appeals not only to consumers’ sense of sight but also to touch, a sense that should not be overlooked in custom printed label design. Like the visually impaired readers of Haüy’s first embossed book, our sense of touch when handling products can create important connections between ourselves, the product, and the brand. Research has shown that “physically holding products can create a sense of psychological ownership, driving must-have purchase decisions.” Embossed product labels convey a premium image and draw visual attention to the company’s logo or key elements of the label’s design. To enhance the effect even further, many embossed label designs are combined with foil embossing. In some instances, the two techniques can be produced in one pass on the printing press. **Here is the end result of the embossing plate shown earlier:** **![Emboss Printing](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/rocker.jpg)** ### **Design considerations for embossed labels** Embossed printing is a custom, specialty technique that requires planning and a complete understanding of the printing process early in the design phase. For example, the more complex the embossed label design, the more it costs to create the die. Here are some tips and considerations for designing embossed product labels to achieve the best results: - Create artwork in a vector program, such as Illustrator, to ensure a high-quality outcome. - Larger embossed areas will be deeper; likewise, the deeper your desired emboss, the larger the area must be. - The more intricate the design, the simpler the emboss should be. - If you’re considering hot foil stamping, it’s best when combined with embossing to catch the light at various angles. - When using embossing and foil together, whatever is embossed should also be foil stamped. This will help avoid any blind embossing or unintended registered embossing. - There may be times when blind embossing will stand out more. It depends on the design and the stock. - Embossed surfaces cannot be combined with other finishing techniques such as laminate, spot, or matte gloss. ### **Ask the experts** It’s not every day that you create a custom product label designed for embossed printing. But every day, Columbine Label Company is working with customers on refining their embossed label design. If you’re considering embossed printing for your next print job, let’s talk.

Labeling is used to help inform consumers of a product’s intended use and any related warnings, its ingredients and the net quantity of contents, and its place of manufacture or distribution. The law does not require cosmetic products and ingredients, other than color additives, to have US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval before they go to the market, but there are laws and regulations that apply to cosmetic label printing in interstate commerce. Here are must-have fields on custom cosmetic product labels that you should know. ## **The Principal Display Panel** A [label ](https://columbinelabel.com/what-is-the-process-of-product-label-printing/)may consist of more than one panel. It may consist of a front panel, side panels, and a back panel. Back and side panels are generally called information panels. The[ FP&L Act](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-packaging-labeling-act-regulations-0) also defines for consumer commodities, or packages containing a consumer commodity, the term “principal display panel,” otherwise known for short as PDP. The “principal display panel” is that part of a panel that is most likely to be shown or examined under customary conditions of display for retail sale. Usually, it is the front panel of the label of the outer package. - **Identity Statement:** Indicate the nature and use of a product through a name or an illustration that can be understood by the public. - **Net quantity**: An accurate statement of the net quantity of contents, in terms of weight, measure, numerical count, or a combination of numerical count and weight or measure - **Warning**: These must be prominent and conspicuous. The FD&C Act and related regulations specify warning and cautioning statements related to specific products. In addition, cosmetics that may be hazardous to consumers must bear appropriate label warnings. Flammable cosmetics such as aerosols are an example of products that require specific warnings. ## **Other Labelling Regulatory Requirements by the FDA** Here are other[ FDA labeling regulatory](https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-regulations/cosmetics-labeling-guide) requirements for cosmetic products that should appear on the information panel: ### **Name and place of business** Include the street address, city, state, and ZIP code for the manufacturer, packer, or distributor. ### **Language** All label or labeling statements are required by law or regulation to be in the English language. Products distributed solely in Puerto Rico, or a territory where the predominant language is one other than English, may state the required label information in the predominant language in place of English. ### **Distributor statement** The distributor statement must say “Manufactured for…” or “Distributed by…,” or similar wording if the name and address are not those of the manufacturer. ### **Cosmetic Warning and Caution Statements** Cosmetics that may be hazardous to consumers when misused must bear appropriate label warnings and adequate directions for safe use. Flammable cosmetics such as aerosols, feminine deodorant sprays, and children’s bubble bath products are an example of products that require specific warnings. ### **Cosmetic Ingredients** Under the[ Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA)](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-packaging-labeling-act-regulations-0), ingredients must be listed by their “common or usual names.” The FDA Regulation prescribes the nomenclature for identifying ingredients in the label declaration. The Regulation lists several sources for identifying the appropriate name for an ingredient, and the sources must be consulted in the order in which they appear in the Regulation. The first source to consult is[ Section 701.30 of the FPLA](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2017/NIST.IR.8178.pdf), which is the Regulation that contains the particular names established by the FDA. Remaining sources are identified in Section 701.3(c) (2). Many of these sources may reflect the names given to these chemical compounds by the industry lead group, the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI). The FDA does not accept the use of terms from other languages, such as Latin names for the labeling of botanical ingredients or the use or the use of “aqua” instead of “water.” The FDA does, however, allow for these terms to be used in parentheses following the common or usual name in English. “Fragrance” or “flavor” may be declared as such. ### **Material facts** Failure to reveal material facts is one form of misleading labeling and therefore makes a product misbranded. For example, there should be directions for safe use if a cosmetic product has the potential to be misused.

We looked at some of their pricing and some of their offerings, and it all looked really good. We gave them a chance, and they basically in a short amount of time, won 100% of our business.”* **Gil Eye Five** We have been working with Columbine Label since 2003. They are amazing to work with.

At Columbine Label, we offer a variety of [product label options](https://columbinelabel.com/markets-served/). 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. Do you print stickers? 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. What printing methods do you use for custom labels? Our label printing company and team 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**](https://columbinelabel.com/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**](https://columbinelabel.com/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. What materials do you use for the labels, and are they eco-friendly? 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. See our [sustainability](https://columbinelabel.com/sustainability/) page. Do you offer label printing for different product shapes and sizes? Yes, our [custom labels](/) can be printed in a variety of shapes and sizes. Can I get a price quote for my job? You can fill out an [online quote request](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/), call us toll-free at (866) 610-0804, or email customer support to obtain a quote. When you contact us, be prepared to provide the following information: - The quantity of labels you want - How many versions of the product label you need - What you will apply the labels to (plastic squeezable bottle, aluminum can, etc.) - Whether you will apply the labels by hand or with a machine - The environment your custom labels will live in You will also be asked to send in your art, regardless of whether it is print ready or not, so we can advise on your project needs. What is the minimum order quantity for custom label printing? Because of our standard operating procedures, our minimum order quantity is 250 custom labels. Are there any discounts for bulk orders? Yes, we offer bulk discounts for large orders of custom labels. Can you print variable data on labels like QR codes or barcodes? Columbine Label can absolutely run batches of custom labels with variable data. What is your return policy in case of any issues with the printed labels? 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. How long does it take to produce and deliver the product labels? 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. How do I get my product labels once they’re ready? 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. Can you design or help me design my print job? 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. What type of art files can you receive? 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). [Check here for additional artwork guidelines.](https://columbinelabel.com/art-guidelines/) Does Columbine Label guarantee compliance with FDA label requirements? Columbine Label does not guarantee label designs comply with FDA label requirements. However, you can access the [FDA label requirements](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry-food-labeling-guide) online and download them. --- ### [Frequently Asked Questions](https://columbinelabel.com/frequently-asked-questions/) **Published:** June 5, 2026 **Author:** Rachel Jackson **Content:** ![The labels produced by Columbine Label are of high quality with consistent colors.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ColorConsistency-blogpic.jpg) # Frequently Asked Questions ### Answers to Your Most Common Questions [Free Instant Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/) [Request a Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/request-a-quote/) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Ordering And Quotes Can I get a quote for my label project? **Yes. We provide free quotes for custom label projects.** You can receive a quote now by using the [online quoter,](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/) submitting the [request a quote](https://columbinelabel.com/request-a-quote/) form, or giving us a call at [303-788-1504](tel:303-788-1504) What information do I need to request a quote? To prepare an accurate quote, we typically need: - **Label size** - **Quantity** - **Material preference** - **Number of versions or SKUs** - **Application method (hand or machine applied)** - **Desired turnaround time** If you don’t have all of this information yet, our team can help determine the specifications needed for your project. What is your minimum order quantity? Our MOQ is **250 custom labels** per SKU When will my labels be ready? Labels are typically ready to ship **3-5 business days** after proof approval. Are there any reasons my labels would take longer than 3-5 business days? Common reasons for extended lead times include: - **Delayed proof approval** – Production cannot begin until artwork is approved. Prompt approval helps keep your project on schedule. - **Custom dies** – Labels with custom shapes, foil stamping, or embossing may require a new die to be manufactured before production can begin. - **Specialty materials** – Some materials, adhesives, or finishes may need to be ordered from our suppliers if they are not regularly stocked. - **Large or complex orders** – High quantities, multiple SKUs, or specialty finishing processes may require additional production time. - **Supply chain or shipping disruptions** – Material shortages, carrier delays, or other unforeseen circumstances can occasionally affect lead times. When we provide your quote, we’ll let you know if we anticipate any additional lead time and will keep you informed throughout the process. What is the ordering process? **New Customers** 1. **Request a quote** by phone, email, or through our online quote request form. 2. **Discuss your project** with a member of our sales team. We may ask additional questions about your artwork, label size, quantity, materials, and application requirements. 3. **Provide your artwork.** We recommend submitting artwork as early as possible, as digital proof creation may take up to two business days. 4. **Review and accept your quote.** 5. **Complete our new customer paperwork**, including billing and payment information. 6. **Receive your order confirmation.** Payment is collected before production begins. 7. **Review and approve your proof.** Production cannot begin until artwork approval is received. 8. **Production begins.** Most orders are completed within 3–5 business days after proof approval. 9. **Your labels ship or are made available for pickup.** Shipping charges are applied when the order ships. **Existing Customers** Returning customers enjoy a streamlined process. - New customer paperwork is not required for future orders. - Repeat orders with no artwork changes often do not require a new proof approval. - If artwork changes are needed, a revised proof will be provided for approval before production begins. If you have a deadline or special requirements, let us know as early as possible so we can recommend the best production and shipping options. Do you ship outside of Colorado? **Yes!** We ship to any location inside of the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. What is combo pricing and how do I take advantage of it? **Combo pricing allows you to combine multiple versions of the same label into a single order, often reducing the overall cost compared to ordering each version separately.** To qualify for combo pricing, the labels must typically: - Be the same size - Use the same material - Have the same finish - Use the same printing specifications - Be produced together on a single production order The artwork can be different, allowing you to create multiple flavors, scents, varieties, or product versions while benefiting from the efficiencies of a combined production run. For example, if you need: - 1,000 Strawberry labels - 1,000 Blueberry labels - 1,000 Raspberry labels Many customers assume they need to purchase three separate orders of 1,000 labels each. With combo pricing, these versions can often be combined into a single order of 3,000 total labels, resulting in a lower cost than producing each version independently. Combo pricing is especially popular for: - Food products with multiple flavors - Beverage products with seasonal varieties - Dietary supplements with multiple formulations - Cosmetics with different scents or colors - Product lines with several SKUs If your products share the same specifications, ask your sales representative whether your project qualifies for combo pricing. Is shipping included in my quote? **No. Shipping is typically not included in our initial quote.** Because every label order is custom manufactured, the final shipping cost depends on factors that are not known until production is complete, including: - Number of boxes - Final package weight - Shipping destination - Carrier rates - Any expedited shipping requirements To provide the most accurate shipping cost possible, we calculate shipping after your order has been completed, packaged, and is ready to ship. This approach helps ensure you are billed for the actual shipping cost rather than an estimate that may be higher or lower than the final amount. If you need an estimated shipping cost before placing an order, please let us know and we’ll do our best to provide a preliminary estimate based on your project specifications. How long does it take to get a digital press proof? **Most digital proofs are delivered within one business day after we receive all required artwork and project information.** Digital proofs allow you to review your label artwork, specifications, and layout before production begins. We encourage customers to review proofs carefully and submit approval as soon as possible to keep their projects on schedule. Proof turnaround times may vary depending on: - Artwork completeness - Number of SKUs or versions - Complexity of the project - Requested artwork revisions Production cannot begin until the proof has been approved. How long does it take to get a physical printed press proof? **Printed press proofs are typically produced within 2–4 business days.** Unlike a digital proof, a printed press proof allows you to review the actual printed label, including color, material, finish, and overall appearance before full production begins. Printed press proofs are especially helpful when: - Color accuracy is critical - Matching an existing product or packaging - Evaluating a new material or finish - Launching a new product - Obtaining internal approvals Printed press proofs are available for a **flat fee of $35, which includes shipping.** If color matching or label appearance is particularly important to your project, ask your sales representative whether a printed press proof is recommended. How long does it take to get a digital press proof? **Most digital proofs are delivered within one business day after we receive all required artwork and project information.** Digital proofs allow you to review your label artwork, specifications, and layout before production begins. We encourage customers to review proofs carefully and submit approval as soon as possible to keep their projects on schedule. Proof turnaround times may vary depending on: - Artwork completeness - Number of SKUs or versions - Complexity of the project - Requested artwork revisions Production cannot begin until the proof has been approved. ### Shapes, Sizes And Finishes Can you print labels in custom shapes and sizes? **Yes. Columbine Label can produce labels in a wide variety of custom shapes and sizes to fit your product, packaging, and branding needs.** We offer both [standard](https://columbinelabel.com/standard-shape-labels/) and [custom label shapes](https://columbinelabel.com/special-shape-labels/), including: - Circles - Squares - Rectangles - Ovals - Custom die-cut shapes Our labels can be produced in sizes ranging from small [lip balm](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-lip-balm-labels/) and [supplement labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-dietary-supplement-labels/) to large product, drum, and bulk container labels. For many common shapes and sizes, we may already have an existing die available. Unique shapes or dimensions may require a custom die, which can add a small one-time tooling cost and additional lead time. If you’re unsure what size or shape is best for your container, our team can help determine the right label dimensions based on your product and application requirements. Can you help me determine the right size for my container? **Yes. We can help determine an appropriate label size for your container.** The most accurate way to recommend a label size is by reviewing the actual container or obtaining detailed container specifications. Factors such as shape, dimensions, curves, recessed panels, and available label area all influence the ideal label size. For most products, simply telling us that you have a “standard bottle,” “standard jar,” or “standard container” is usually not enough information to determine the correct label size. Container dimensions can vary significantly between manufacturers and product types. If you’re unsure what size label you need, we recommend: - Sending us the container specifications - Providing a dieline from your packaging supplier - Sending us a sample container for measurement The main exception is the beverage industry, specifically beverages in aluminum cans, where can sizes have become fairly standardized and we can often recommend common label sizes based on the can format. If you provide your container information, our team can help determine a label size that fits properly, looks great, and accommodates your required artwork and product information. What is a label die? **A label die is a specialized tool used to cut labels into their finished shape and size.** Think of a die as a custom cookie cutter for labels. After the artwork is printed, the die cuts the label material into the desired shape while leaving the liner intact so the labels can be supplied on a roll. Dies are used to create: - Circles - Squares - Rectangles - Ovals - Custom shapes - Specialty label designs Many common label sizes and shapes can be produced using existing dies that we already have in our inventory. However, unique sizes, shapes, or specialty embellishments may require a custom die to be manufactured. Your Columbine Label representative will advise if you need a custom die or if we have your size ready to go. How much does a label die cost? **The cost of a custom die varies depending on the size, shape, complexity, and type of die required.** Custom dies can range from relatively inexpensive for simple shapes to significantly more for specialty applications such as: - Complex custom shapes - Foil stamping dies - Embossing dies - Large-format labels - Specialty tooling Die costs are also influenced by factors such as the number of gear teeth required and the overall construction of the die. If your project requires a custom die, we will provide pricing during the quoting process. In many cases, we may already have a suitable die available, eliminating the need for additional tooling costs. Is there a “standard“ size? **Usually no. Most labels are custom sized to fit a specific product, container, and application.** The ideal label size depends on factors such as: - Container dimensions - Available label panel area - Product information requirements - Branding and design goals - Application method That said, some industries do have commonly used label sizes. For example, beverage cans often use standard container dimensions, so there are a handful of label sizes that are frequently used for 12 oz, 16 oz, and other common can formats. If you already know your container specifications, we can help determine an appropriate label size. If you don’t, we may be able to recommend a size based on your packaging or review a sample container to identify options that fit your application. In many cases, we may already have an existing die that works for your label size, which can help avoid additional tooling costs and lead time. What label size is most cost effective? **The most cost-effective label size is usually the one that works best for your product, application, and brand.** Many customers assume that making a label slightly smaller will significantly reduce the cost, but in most cases, minor size changes have little impact on the overall price of a label order. When selecting a label size, it’s usually more important to consider: - Container dimensions - Available space for required information - Brand visibility - Shelf appeal - Application requirements Rather than choosing a label size solely to reduce cost, we recommend selecting a size that effectively communicates your brand and provides the space needed for product information. If cost is a concern, our team can help identify opportunities to improve efficiency, but for most projects, choosing the right size for the application is more important than trying to make the label slightly smaller. What label finishes do you offer? Common label finishes include: - **Gloss varnish** – Enhances colors and provides a shiny appearance. - **Matte varnish** – Creates a smooth, non-reflective finish with a premium look. - **Gloss lamination** – Adds durability, moisture resistance, and a high-gloss appearance. - **Matte lamination** – Provides added protection with a sophisticated matte finish. - **Imprintable coatings** – Designed to allow writing, coding, or thermal transfer printing after the labels are produced. We also offer specialty enhancements such as: - **Foil stamping** - **Embossing** - **Spot varnishes** (application dependent) - **Textured and specialty materials** The best finish depends on your product, environment, application method, and desired shelf appearance. Our team can help you select the right combination of materials and finishes for your project. Do you offer foil stamping? **Yes. Columbine Label offers [foil stamping](https://columbinelabel.com/foil-stamped-labels/) to help products stand out on the shelf with a premium, eye-catching appearance.** Foil stamping uses metallic or pigmented foil applied to specific areas of the label using heat and pressure. It is commonly used to highlight logos, brand names, borders, and other design elements. Foil stamping is popular for: - Wine labels - Spirits labels - Craft beverage labels - Cosmetic labels - Luxury and premium products - Specialty food packaging We offer a variety of foil colors, including gold, silver, and many specialty options. Because foil stamping requires custom tooling, there is typically a one-time die charge and additional lead time compared to standard label production. Our team can help determine whether foil stamping is the right choice for your project and provide recommendations based on your artwork and budget. Do you offer embossed labels? **Yes. Columbine Label offers [embossed labels](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-labels/) to help create a premium, high-end look and feel for your product packaging.** Embossing raises specific elements of a label above the surrounding surface, creating texture and dimension that customers can both see and feel. It is commonly used to highlight logos, brand names, decorative elements, and other key design features. Embossed labels are especially popular for: - Wine labels - Spirits labels - Craft beverage labels - Cosmetic and personal care products - Specialty food products - Luxury and premium brands Embossing can be used on its own or combined with foil stamping to create a distinctive, upscale appearance. Because embossing requires custom tooling, there is typically a one-time die charge and additional lead time compared to standard label production. Our team can review your artwork and recommend whether embossing is a good fit for your project. Can you print clear labels? **Yes. Columbine Label offers clear labels that create a clean, “no-label look” by allowing the product or container to show through areas of the label.** Clear labels are printed on transparent film materials and are commonly used for: - Beverage labels - Cosmetic and personal care products - Food packaging - Candles and home fragrance products - Health and wellness products To ensure artwork remains visible on clear materials, we can print a **white ink layer** behind selected design elements. This allows colors, text, and graphics to remain vibrant and readable while maintaining the transparent appearance of the label. Clear labels are available with a variety of finishes, including gloss and matte laminations, and can be produced for both hand application and machine application. If you’re considering clear labels, our team can review your artwork and container to help determine whether a clear label construction is the best fit for your product. ### Artwork And Design What artwork file types do you accept? **We prefer print-ready vector artwork whenever possible, but we can review a variety of file formats.** Preferred file types include: - Adobe Illustrator (.AI) - Print-ready PDF (.PDF) - Encapsulated PostScript (.EPS) We can also review: - Adobe Photoshop (.PSD) - JPEG (.JPG) - PNG (.PNG) - TIFF (.TIF) For the best print quality, artwork should be provided at full size with all fonts outlined or included and all linked images embedded. If your artwork is not print-ready, don’t worry. Our prepress team will review your files and let you know if any adjustments are needed before production. Can you match my brand colors? At Columbine Label, we print using an extended gamut process that includes **CMYKOV (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Orange, and Violet) plus White ink**, allowing us to reproduce a very wide range of colors without the need for traditional spot inks. Color matching can vary depending on whether you’re trying to match: - A Pantone® (PMS) color - Labels produced by a previous printer - A printed pouch, carton, or other packaging component - A digital proof or computer screen - A sample product already in the market Because different materials and printing processes can affect color appearance, we recommend a **press proof** whenever color accuracy is critical. A press proof allows you to review the actual printed label and approve the color before full production begins. Our team will work closely with you to achieve the best possible color match for your project and discuss any limitations before production begins. Do you provide label design services? **We do not offer full-service label design, but we can assist with minor artwork updates and print preparation.** Common artwork changes we can often help with include: - Text updates - Barcode additions or changes - Ingredient or regulatory text updates - Minor layout adjustments - Preparing artwork for print production For more extensive artwork revisions, our team may be able to provide a quote for graphic design services depending on the scope of the project and our current workload. If you’re looking for a completely new label design, brand development, or packaging design, we maintain a network of independent designers who are experienced in creating print-ready artwork for labels and packaging. We’d be happy to provide referrals to help get your project started. Our goal is to ensure your artwork is ready for production and will print successfully, whether it is created by your team, one of our design partners, or another designer of your choice. Can you make a white layer for me? **Maybe. Depending on our current workload and the complexity of the artwork, we may be able to create a white layer for a small artwork fee.** White layers are commonly used when printing on: - Clear label materials - Silver metallic materials - Other transparent or reflective substrates A properly designed white layer helps ensure text, colors, and graphics remain visible and vibrant on these materials. If our team is unable to assist with creating the white layer, or if the project requires more extensive artwork work, we can refer you to a graphic designer who is experienced in preparing print-ready label files. If you’re unsure whether your artwork requires a white layer, send us your files and we’ll review them during the quoting process. Can you connect me with a graphic designer? **Yes. While we do not offer full-service graphic design in-house, we maintain a network of independent designers who are experienced in creating packaging and label artwork.** If you need help with: - Creating a new label design - Brand development - Packaging design - Product line extensions - Updating an existing label design we can often connect you with a designer who is familiar with label printing requirements and can provide print-ready artwork. Working with a designer experienced in packaging and labels can help streamline the production process and reduce the likelihood of artwork issues during prepress. If you’re interested in a designer referral, contact our team and we’ll be happy to discuss your project and connect you with an appropriate design partner. Do you charge prepress fees? **No. Columbine Label does not charge prepress fees.** Our prepress team reviews and prepares your artwork for production as part of the normal order process. This includes verifying that your files are suitable for printing and identifying any issues that may affect print quality. If your artwork requires significant redesign, reconstruction, or extensive revisions beyond normal print preparation, we will discuss any potential artwork charges with you before proceeding. For most orders, there are **no prepress fees, no artwork setup fees, and no hidden charges to prepare your files for production.** Do you charge for artwork setup fees? **No. Columbine Label does not charge artwork setup fees.** If you provide print-ready artwork, there are no setup charges to get your project into production. Our prepress team reviews all artwork before printing to help ensure it is suitable for production and will print as intended. If your files require significant revisions, design work, or extensive reconstruction, we will discuss any potential artwork charges with you before proceeding. In many cases, minor adjustments and print preparation are included as part of the normal order process. Can you print AI generated art? **Yes. We can print AI-generated artwork, provided the files meet our production requirements.** As with any customer supplied artwork, the customer is responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to use the artwork and that it does not infringe upon any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights. When printing AI generated artwork, we may recommend or require a **printed press proof** before production. This allows you to review how the artwork appears on the actual label material and helps identify potential issues before a full production run. Some common challenges we see with AI generated artwork include: - Low-resolution images - Blurry or pixelated details - Unintended visual artifacts - Inconsistent text or typography - Design elements that look acceptable on a screen but not in print These issues are not unique to AI generated artwork and can also occur with files created using online design platforms and other non-professional design tools. If you’re planning to use AI generated artwork, we encourage you to submit the highest-resolution files available so our team can review them and recommend the best path forward. ### Printing Methods What printing technologies do you offer? Our [printing capabilities](https://columbinelabel.com/printing-technology/) include: - **Digital Printing** – Ideal for shorter runs, multiple SKUs, variable data, and projects requiring fast turnaround times. - **Flexographic Printing** – Often the most cost-effective option for larger quantities and long production runs. Our production floor includes state-of-the-art digital and flexographic presses, allowing us to produce high-quality labels across a wide range of materials, sizes, and applications. Rather than forcing every project into a single printing method, we evaluate factors such as quantity, artwork, material selection, application requirements, and budget to recommend the best solution for your needs. If you’re unsure which printing technology is right for your labels, our team can help determine the most efficient and cost-effective option during the quoting process. What is digital label printing? **Digital label printing is a printing process that transfers artwork directly from a digital file to the press without the need for printing plates.** Because no plates are required, digital printing offers greater flexibility and faster setup times than traditional printing methods. This makes it an excellent choice for many custom label projects. Digital label printing is especially well-suited for: - Short to medium production runs - Multiple product versions or SKUs - Frequent artwork changes - Variable data printing, such as barcodes or sequential numbering - Fast turnaround projects At Columbine Label, our digital printing technology uses an extended color gamut that includes **CMYKOV (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Orange, and Violet) plus White ink**, allowing us to reproduce a wide range of colors on white, clear, and metallic label materials. Digital printing delivers exceptional print quality while allowing customers to order the quantities they need without the costs typically associated with printing plates. If you’re unsure whether digital or flexographic printing is the best fit for your project, our team can help determine the most efficient and cost-effective option based on your artwork, quantity, and application requirements. What is flexographic label printing? **Flexographic label printing, often called flexo printing, is a printing process that uses flexible printing plates to transfer ink onto label materials.** Flexographic printing is known for its efficiency, consistency, and ability to produce high-quality labels at high production speeds. Once printing plates are created, flexographic printing is often the most cost-effective option for larger label orders. Flexographic printing is commonly used for: - Medium to large production runs - Long-term repeat orders - High-volume products - Specialty coatings and finishes - Foil stamping and embossing applications Modern flexographic printing produces excellent print quality and can be used on a wide variety of label materials, including paper, BOPP films, specialty materials, and more. At Columbine Label, we evaluate each project individually to determine whether digital or flexographic printing will provide the best combination of quality, efficiency, and value. The right choice often depends on your order quantity, artwork, material selection, and production requirements. If you’re unsure which printing method is best for your project, our team can help recommend the most effective solution during the quoting process. Which printing method is best for my project? **The best printing method depends on your artwork, quantity, material selection, and project requirements.** At Columbine Label, we offer both digital and flexographic printing and will recommend the option that provides the best combination of quality, efficiency, and value for your specific project. In general: - **Digital printing** is often the best choice for shorter runs, multiple SKUs, frequent artwork changes, and projects requiring fast turnaround times. - **Flexographic printing** is often the most cost-effective option for larger quantities, repeat orders, and projects that incorporate specialty finishes such as foil stamping or embossing. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. A project that is ideal for digital printing today may become a better fit for flexographic printing as order quantities increase. When you request a quote, our team will review your project and recommend the printing method that makes the most sense based on your goals, budget, and production requirements. ### Label Materials And Adhesives What label materials do you offer? **Columbine Label offers a wide variety of label materials to meet the performance, appearance, and application requirements of your product.** Some of our most common label materials include: - **White BOPP** – Durable, moisture-resistant, and one of the most popular choices for food, beverage, personal care, and supplement products. - **Clear BOPP** – Creates a “no-label look” by allowing the container or product to show through. - **Silver BOPP** – Metallic film that adds a premium appearance and can be used with or without white ink. - **Paper Labels** – Available in a variety of finishes and commonly used for food, beverage, and specialty products. - **Wine Label Stocks** – Premium paper materials designed for wine, spirits, and other high-end products. - **Natural Kraft Labels** – Popular for artisan, organic, and craft-branded products. - **Vinyl Labels** – Designed for applications requiring additional durability and outdoor performance. - **Specialty Materials** – Including textured papers, metallic papers, and other unique label constructions. We can also recommend adhesives and material constructions designed for: - Refrigerated products - Frozen products - Moisture exposure - Oil-resistant applications - Hot-fill products - Tight mandrel containers - Hand or machine application If you’re unsure which material is best for your product, our team can help you select the right combination of facestock, adhesive, and finish based on your container, environment, and application requirements. How do I choose the right label material? **The best label material depends on your product, container, environment, and application method.** When recommending a label material, we typically consider: - **Container type** – Bottles, jars, cans, pouches, boxes, and other packaging may require different materials and adhesives. - **Exposure to moisture** – Products stored in refrigerators, coolers, bathrooms, or outdoor environments often benefit from film materials such as BOPP or vinyl. - **Temperature requirements** – Refrigerated, frozen, hot-fill, and room-temperature products may require different adhesive and material combinations. - **Product contents** – Oils, chemicals, solvents, and other challenging products can affect label performance. - **Desired appearance** – Clear, metallic, paper, textured, matte, gloss, and specialty materials all create different visual effects. - **Application method** – Hand-applied and machine-applied labels may have different material and liner requirements. For many products, **white BOPP is an excellent starting point because it offers durability, moisture resistance, and versatility at a competitive price.** However, the right material ultimately depends on your specific application. If you’re unsure which material is best for your project, our team can help. We’ll review your product, packaging, storage conditions, and branding goals to recommend a label construction that performs well and looks great. Do you offer sustainable label materials? **Yes. Columbine Label offers a variety of sustainable label material options for customers looking to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging.** Depending on your product and application, sustainable options may include: - Materials made with recycled content - FSC®-certified paper stocks - Materials designed to support package recyclability - Reduced-waste label constructions - Alternative liner and facestock options The best sustainable solution depends on your product, container, performance requirements, and sustainability goals. In some cases, the most sustainable option may involve balancing environmental considerations with durability, product protection, and cost. If sustainability is important to your brand, let us know during the quoting process and we’ll help identify label materials that align with your objectives. Do you offer waterproof labels? **Yes. Columbine Label offers waterproof label materials designed to withstand moisture, refrigeration, ice, condensation, and routine handling.** Many waterproof labels are produced using durable film materials such as: - White BOPP - Clear BOPP - Silver BOPP - Vinyl These materials do not absorb water like paper labels and are commonly used for: - Beverage products - Food packaging - Personal care products - Dietary supplements - Pet products - Products stored in refrigerators, coolers, or damp environments The best waterproof label construction depends on your product, container, and intended use. In some applications, the adhesive is just as important as the label material itself. If your labels will be exposed to moisture, refrigeration, freezing temperatures, oils, chemicals, or outdoor conditions, let us know during the quoting process so we can recommend the most appropriate material and adhesive combination. Can your labels withstand refrigeration or freezing? **Yes. We offer label materials and adhesives designed to perform in refrigerated and frozen environments.** Many of our film materials, including BOPP labels, provide excellent moisture resistance and can withstand condensation, refrigeration, and freezer storage when paired with the appropriate adhesive. We commonly produce labels for: - Refrigerated foods and beverages - Frozen foods - Dairy products - Meal prep and ready-to-eat products - Dietary supplements - Personal care products stored in cool environments The best label construction depends on several factors, including the container material, application temperature, storage temperature, and exposure to moisture or condensation. If your product will be refrigerated or frozen, let us know during the quoting process. Our team will recommend a material and adhesive combination designed for your specific application. Please let us know during the quoting process if your product will be subject to freezing temperatures. Do you offer labels for hot-fill products **Yes. We offer label materials and adhesives designed for many hot-fill applications.** Hot-fill products are packaged at elevated temperatures and can present unique challenges for label performance. Selecting the proper material and adhesive helps ensure labels remain securely adhered and maintain their appearance as the product cools. We commonly provide labels for hot-fill products such as: - Sauces - Salsas - Dressings - Syrups - Beverages - Other shelf-stable food products The best label construction depends on several factors, including the fill temperature, container material, product contents, and storage conditions after filling. If your product is hot-filled, please let us know during the quoting process. Our team will recommend a material and adhesive combination designed for your specific application. What adhesives do you offer? **We offer a variety of permanent and removable adhesives designed for different products, containers, and environmental conditions.** Common adhesive options include: - **Permanent adhesives** – Designed to remain securely attached for the life of the product. - **Removable adhesives** – Allow labels to be removed cleanly from many surfaces. - **Freezer-grade adhesives** – Designed for refrigerated and frozen applications. - **Hot-fill adhesives** – Suitable for many products packaged at elevated temperatures. - **High-tack adhesives** – Provide additional adhesion for challenging surfaces and applications. The best adhesive depends on factors such as: - Container material - Product contents - Application temperature - Storage conditions - Moisture exposure - Intended label permanence Because adhesive selection is critical to label performance, our team will recommend the most appropriate adhesive based on your specific application and requirements. Do you have samples I can look at? **Yes. We’d be happy to send you a free sample pack.** Our sample packs include a variety of label materials, finishes, and printing examples to help you see and feel the different options available for your project. Samples may include: - Paper labels - White, clear, and silver BOPP labels - Matte and gloss finishes - Foil stamping examples - Embossed labels - Specialty materials and applications Reviewing physical samples can be a great way to compare materials, evaluate finishes, and gather inspiration before placing an order. If you’re interested in receiving a sample pack, contact our team and we’ll be happy to send one your way. ### Application And Production Do you offer labels for machine application? **Yes. We produce labels designed for both machine application and hand application.** Machine-applied labels require specific roll configurations and material selections to ensure they perform properly on your labeling equipment. Our team can manufacture labels to meet your applicator’s requirements, including: - Roll direction (rewind) - Core size - Maximum roll diameter - Label spacing - Material and liner selection Whether you’re applying labels to bottles, jars, cans, pouches, cartons, or other packaging, we’ll work with you to ensure your labels are supplied in a format compatible with your equipment. If you’re ordering machine-applied labels for the first time, we recommend providing your applicator specifications or having your equipment manufacturer contact us directly. This helps ensure the labels perform properly during application and production. Do you offer labels for hand application? **Yes. Many of our customers apply labels by hand, and we can produce labels specifically for hand application.** Hand-applied labels are a great option for startups, small businesses, pilot runs, and products with lower production volumes. We can help select materials and roll configurations that make labels easier to dispense and apply by hand. We commonly produce hand-applied labels for: - Food products - Craft beverages - Dietary supplements - Cosmetics and personal care products - Candles and home fragrance products - Pet products If you currently apply labels by hand but plan to move to automated labeling equipment in the future, let us know. We can discuss options that may help support future growth and production needs. Do you print labels on rolls or sheets? **Most of our labels are supplied on rolls.** Roll labels are the industry standard and are compatible with both hand application and automated labeling equipment. They are easy to store, dispense, and apply, making them the preferred format for most products and production environments. We can **also provide labels on sheets** for certain applications, depending on the label size, material, quantity, and project requirements. If you’re unsure which format is best for your application, our team can help determine the most appropriate option based on how your labels will be used. Can you help determine my rewind direction? **Yes. If you’re using a label applicator, we can help determine the correct rewind direction for your labels.** Rewind direction refers to the orientation of the labels on the roll and is an important consideration for automated labeling equipment. Supplying labels with the wrong rewind can lead to application issues or require reworking before production. If you’re unsure of your rewind requirements, we can often determine them by reviewing: - Your label applicator specifications - Photos of your equipment - Existing label rolls - Information from your equipment manufacturer Many customers don’t know their rewind direction, and that’s perfectly okay. Our team works with labeling equipment every day and can help ensure your labels are supplied in the correct format for your application. If you already know your required rewind direction, simply provide it when requesting a quote or placing your order. Can you provide application testing? **Yes. We can help customers evaluate label performance before placing a full production order.** For many projects, we can provide a **press proof** that allows you to test the actual label material, adhesive, and construction on your container before full production. This can help verify label appearance, adhesion, and overall performance in your application. If you’re testing an automated labeling system, we can often provide a **roll of blank labels** using the proposed material and liner combination. This allows you to evaluate machine performance, dispensing, application, and handling characteristics before committing to a full production run. Application testing is especially helpful for: - New product launches - Automated labeling equipment setup - Challenging container shapes - Refrigerated or frozen products - Hot-fill applications - New materials or adhesives If you’d like to perform application testing, let us know during the quoting process and we’ll discuss the best testing approach for your project. What is OD? **OD stands for “Outside Diameter,” which is the overall diameter of a finished roll of labels.** Outside diameter is an important specification for customers using automated label applicators because many labeling machines have a maximum roll size they can accommodate. The outside diameter of a label roll is influenced by factors such as: - Label size - Quantity - Material thickness - Core size If a roll exceeds the maximum OD supported by your equipment, it may not fit properly on the applicator. For customers applying labels by hand, outside diameter is usually much less important. However, some customers may prefer smaller rolls for easier handling and storage. If you’re using automated labeling equipment, be sure to provide your machine specifications when requesting a quote. If you’re unsure of your maximum OD requirements, our team can often help determine them based on your applicator model. Can I ship on my company’s UPS account? **Yes. If you have your own UPS account, we can ship your order using your account number.** Many customers choose to use their own shipping accounts to take advantage of negotiated carrier rates, preferred shipping terms, or internal shipping processes. If you would like us to ship on your UPS account, please provide the account information before your order ships. Our team will coordinate the shipment using your specified carrier account whenever possible. ### Compliance And Regulatory Are your labels FDA compliant? **The FDA regulates product labeling requirements, but Columbine Label does not review, certify, or guarantee label compliance.** As a label manufacturer, we print labels according to customer specifications. It is the responsibility of the product owner to ensure that all label content, claims, ingredient statements, nutrition information, warnings, and other required information comply with applicable FDA regulations and any other relevant laws or regulations. If you have questions about labeling requirements, we recommend consulting the FDA directly or working with a qualified regulatory professional familiar with your product category. We are happy to discuss material and printing options for your application, but we do not provide legal or regulatory compliance services. Can you help with nutrition panels? **We can assist with updates to an existing nutrition panel, but we do not create nutrition panels from scratch.** If you already have a nutrition panel and need to make changes such as: - Ingredient updates - Serving size changes - Formatting updates - Text revisions - Layout adjustments our team may be able to help prepare the artwork for print. However, we do not calculate nutritional values, create nutrition panels from product formulations, or verify regulatory compliance. If you need a new nutrition panel created, we recommend working with a qualified food scientist, regulatory consultant, or nutrition analysis provider. Once you have an approved nutrition panel, we can incorporate it into your label artwork and prepare it for production. Do you guarantee regulatory compliance? **No. Columbine Label does not review, certify, or guarantee regulatory compliance.** As a label manufacturer, we print labels according to customer-provided artwork and specifications. It is the responsibility of the product owner to ensure that all label content complies with applicable federal, state, local, and industry-specific regulations. This includes, but is not limited to: - Ingredient statements - Nutrition facts panels - Health and marketing claims - Warning statements - Product classifications - Barcode requirements - Industry-specific labeling regulations While we may identify obvious print-related concerns during the proofing process, we do not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance consulting services.

By embossing words or designs onto your labels, you can uniquely help your product stand out from the competition.

Products such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, or other health or beauty supplies often use this technology to get the most out of a small label size.

From food and beverages to cosmetics and health products, jars provide ample space for branding and protection, making them a popular choice for packaging. However, applying labels to jars—especially with their smooth, often curved surfaces—requires careful consideration to ensure the label adheres properly and displays the product in its best light. Both glass and plastic jars come in various shapes and sizes, from wide-mouth jars for sauces or jams to sleek cosmetic jars with a rounded design. The key challenge in labeling these containers is achieving a smooth, wrinkle-free fit around the curved surface, which is particularly important for maintaining a premium look. Glass jars are often used for products that require an upscale presentation, such as high-end food products or beauty items, while plastic jars are frequently used for larger, more economical packaging in industries like health and wellness. To ensure labels stay in place and look professional, the design, adhesive selection, and materials all play critical roles. Whether you’re labeling food, beauty products, or supplements, it’s important to choose the right label solution that enhances your branding while ensuring functionality. Below, we’ll discuss the essential factors in choosing the right label for your jars, whether plastic or glass. Show MoreShow Less ## Achieving Quality Labels for Every Jar Type When labeling jars, whether glass or plastic, achieving a professional and seamless appearance is key. These containers come in various shapes, from wide-mouth jars to sleek cosmetic packaging, and applying the right label is crucial for both functionality and visual appeal. Custom die-cut labels are essential for ensuring a smooth, wrinkle-free application that hugs the curves of the jar. The adhesive used must be strong enough to handle different surfaces, including glass and plastic, without peeling or lifting over time. Both materials require durable labels that withstand moisture, handling, and varying temperatures, ensuring that the branding remains intact. Whether you’re packaging food, beverages, or beauty products, choosing the right material ensures the label stands up to the conditions it will face. For jar labeling, clarity in printing and proper alignment are critical. A high-quality label reinforces brand recognition while maintaining the integrity of the product’s design. By combining the right adhesive, durable materials, and customized label shapes, your product will stand out and present a professional image to your customers. ![Columbine Label Jars Jam](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Jars_Jam-2-1024x768.jpeg) ### Custom Shaped Labels Jars often have curved or round surfaces, so custom die-cut labels ensure a smooth application, free from wrinkles or air bubbles, providing a perfect fit and maintaining a polished, professional look. ![Columbine Label Jars Tallow](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/jars_tallow-1024x768.jpg) ### Adhesive Choice The right adhesive is crucial for ensuring the label sticks firmly to both glass and plastic jars. High-tack adhesives resist moisture, handling, and temperature changes, keeping the label intact through the product’s life cycle. ![Columbine Label Salsa Jars on Store Shelf](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Salsa-Jars-on-Store-Shelf-1024x796.jpeg) ### Durable Materials Both glass and plastic jars can be exposed to moisture, oils, and handling. Labels must be resistant to peeling, fading, and smudging to ensure the product remains attractive and professional in any environment. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Protein-Powder-Product-Labels.png) ### Clear, High-Quality Printing Clear and crisp printing ensures your brand’s message is legible and visible on both glass and plastic jars.

[Free Instant Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/) [Request A Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/request-a-quote/) ## On-Time, Attention-Grabbing *Custom Food Labels* On-time deliveries are crucial to sustaining positive supermarket partnerships. We ship our labels early or on time more than 90% of the time! Our on-time shipment record stands on its’ own. Food product sales rely heavily on shelf appeal and are often a visually-based, impulse purchase. Professional, customized food labels grab attention and convey positive product attributes like freshness, quality and taste. Attributes of high-quality labels include precise color matching and consistency, image fidelity, and appropriate material selection. ## Common Materials for *Personalized Food Labels* Labels for artisan foods must be both functional and beautiful. The custom food labels printed for your brand need to be carefully matched to end-use requirements and therefore requires thoughtfulness when determining a suitable material. For example, if your product is hot-filled or immediately put into the blast freezer that will required consideration at the material selection level. Other considerations may include uniquely shaped bottles/containers or considerations for how the packaging will be used by the consumer. Will it frequently end up in a cooler, covered in ice, for example? If label materials are not thoughtfully selected, labels can wrinkle upon application or lift when product is on a retail shelf. These mishaps can escalate costs and cause brand damage. We spend time up-front to smartly select the best adhesive and face stock material for your product’s specific application. This attention to detail ensures that the performance of your packaging both on the shelf, and ultimately in someone’s home, stands up to time and environment! We offer a wide range of materials, adhesives, and finishes for customized food labels. Common materials include paper, wine stock, white, silver/chrome, clear, or even holographic. For most food manufactures, a standard permanent adhesive will be the best thing for the job. But, an extra strong adhesive, like an SFA might be a great selection if your product goes into a blast freezer. For finishes, options include glossy or matte in either a varnish or lamination. Feeling slightly overwhelmed? Don’t! We are the label experts, so that you don’t have to be. Our team is ready and will to assist you in selecting the materials that are right for your food labels!

Show MoreShow Less ## Saucy Labels That Stick with Your Brand For sauce companies, label quality and durability are just as essential as the taste of your product. A well-designed barbecue sauce label ensures your branding and product details remain clear, legible, and professional from the first bottle to the last. Durability is crucial, especially for sauce bottles that may face exposure to moisture, refrigeration, or frequent handling. High-quality labels resist smudging, fading, and peeling, ensuring your branding stays intact and readable. This not only maintains a clean, polished look on store shelves but also builds customer trust by keeping important details like ingredients, expiration dates, and certifications accessible. The choice of materials plays a key role in label durability. Waterproof and oil-resistant finishes help labels withstand refrigeration or spills, while strong adhesives prevent peeling or lifting. Investing in premium label materials enhances your product presentation and ensures your branding stays consistent throughout the entire product lifecycle. Durable labels also save you time and money by reducing the need for reprints or replacements due to wear. High-quality labels show attention to detail, reinforcing your brand’s commitment to excellence—an important factor in building consumer confidence and loyalty. ![Columbine Label Sauce Bottle Moisture Resistant](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Sauce-bottle-moisture-resistant-1024x796.jpeg) ### Moisture and Water Resistance Sauce labels are exposed to moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling, making durability crucial. Water-resistant labels that resist condensation, spills, and wear ensure your product’s branding and information stay clear and intact. This durability preserves a fresh, professional appearance from shelf to use, enhancing your brand’s reputation and consumer trust. ![Columbine Label Sauce Label Being Applied](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Sauce-label-being-applied-1024x796.jpeg) ### Adhesive Strength A strong adhesive is essential for sauce labels, which often appear on bottles made of plastic, glass, or sealed containers. Labels with superior adhesion properties ensure they stay securely in place through storage, shipping, and handling, preventing peeling or lifting—even when exposed to refrigeration or frequent movement. ![Columbine Label Custom Sauce Variety Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Sauses-Variety-1024x701.jpeg) ### Compliant Materials Sauce labels must comply with industry regulations to ensure accurate information and legal adherence. Proper labeling includes key details such as weight, ingredients, nutritional facts, and allergens, which are vital for transparency and consumer safety. Labels that meet FDA and USDA guidelines help producers avoid legal issues while maintaining product integrity and fostering customer trust. ![Columbine Label Sauce Teriyaki Sauces](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Sauce-teriyaki-sauces-1024x796.jpeg) ### Clear, Legible Information Clear and readable sauce labels are crucial for conveying important details like weight, ingredients, nutritional information, and certifications (e.g., organic, gluten-free).

Custom labels for prepackaged foods do more than just list ingredients and expiration dates—they tell a story about your brand, making your products more appealing to consumers. A well-designed label creates a strong first impression, helping your brand stand out on crowded shelves. Elements like your logo, brand colors, and unique typography establish brand recognition, making it easier for customers to remember and repurchase your products. High-quality labels also convey professionalism and trust, assuring buyers of your product’s quality and consistency. Beyond aesthetics, labels serve a practical function by clearly communicating essential information. From nutritional facts and allergen warnings to preparation instructions, an informative label enhances customer experience and builds trust. Transparency in labeling fosters brand loyalty, as consumers appreciate easy access to the details they need to make informed purchasing decisions. Additionally, labels provide an opportunity to share your brand’s values. Whether you emphasize sustainability, locally sourced ingredients, or unique flavors, a label can highlight what sets your products apart. Creative label designs, QR codes for additional content, or seasonal branding can further engage customers and encourage interaction with your brand. Investing in high-quality, custom labels is a simple yet powerful way to elevate your brand, increase visibility, and drive customer loyalty. With the right design and messaging, your [personalized food labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-food-labels/) can turn first-time buyers into repeat customers. Show MoreShow Less ## On-the-Go Goodness, Wrapped in Quality When it comes to prepackaged food, label quality and durability are just as important as design. A well-crafted label ensures that your branding and product information remain clear, legible, and professional-looking throughout the product’s lifecycle. Durability is essential, especially for grab-and-go items that may be exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or frequent handling. A high-quality label resists smudging, fading, and peeling, ensuring that your branding stays intact and readable. This not only maintains a polished appearance on store shelves but also builds customer trust by keeping ingredient lists, expiration dates, and other essential details easily accessible. Material choice plays a key role in label durability. Waterproof and oil-resistant finishes help labels withstand refrigeration or potential spills, while strong adhesives prevent them from peeling off prematurely. Investing in premium label materials enhances product presentation and ensures your branding stays consistent from production to purchase. In addition to looking good, durable labels save time and money by reducing the need for replacements or reprints due to wear and tear. Choosing high-quality labels demonstrates attention to detail and reinforces your brand’s commitment to excellence—an important factor in gaining consumer confidence and loyalty. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Hummus-label-on-ice-1024x796.jpeg) ### Moisture and Water Resistance Prepackaged, ready-to-eat foods often face exposure to moisture, refrigeration, and handling, making durable labels essential. Water-resistant labels that withstand condensation, spills, and frequent touch ensure your product’s branding and information remain clear and intact. This durability helps maintain a fresh, professional appearance from the shelf to the moment of consumption. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Prepackaged-Rotisserie-Chicken-1024x796.jpeg) ### Adhesive Strength A strong adhesive is crucial for ready-to-eat, prepackaged food items, which often come in various materials like plastic, cardboard, or sealed containers. Labels with high adhesion properties ensure they stay secure through storage, shipping, and handling, preventing peeling or lifting, even when exposed to refrigeration or frequent movement. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Prepackaged-bag-labels-1024x796.jpeg) ### Compliant Materials Labels on ready-to-eat, prepackaged foods must meet industry regulations to ensure accurate information and legal compliance. Proper labeling includes essential details like weight, ingredients, nutritional information, and allergens, which are crucial for transparency and consumer safety. Labels that adhere to FDA and USDA guidelines help food producers avoid legal issues while maintaining product integrity and trust with customers. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/prepackaged-creamy-dill-dip-1024x796.jpeg) ### Clear, Legible Information Clear and readable labels are essential for conveying important details like weight, ingredients, nutritional information, and certifications (e.g., organic, gluten-free). An effective label communicates all necessary information, builds consumer trust, and ensures compliance with industry regulations for prepackaged, ready-to-eat foods. ## Why Use Columbine Label for Your Pre-Packaged Food Labels #### Fast, Fresh, Labels Our typical turnaround time is 3-5 business days after art approval, ensuring quick, reliable delivery without compromising quality.

CO ### Craft Soda, Juice, Kombucha, and So Much More! [Free Instant Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/free-instant-label-quote/) [Request a Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/request-a-quote/) ## Unforgettable Labels for Unforgettable Drinks In the booming non-alcoholic beverage market, eye-catching non-alcoholic beverage labels are essential for grabbing attention and building a strong brand presence. Whether you’re selling sparkling water, kombucha, cold brew coffee, or craft sodas, a well-designed label communicates quality, flavor, and uniqueness at a glance. With vibrant colors, sharp graphics, and premium materials, your custom soda bottle label plays a crucial role in setting your drink apart on store shelves and in coolers. Different packaging formats require different labeling solutions. Many non-alcoholic beverages are packaged in bottles, cans, or cartons, each needing durable and high-quality labels. Shrink sleeves provide full-body coverage for aluminum cans and glass bottles, maximizing branding opportunities with 360-degree designs. Pressure-sensitive labels work well for plastic and glass bottles, offering flexibility in shape and texture. No matter your container, investing in premium non-alcoholic beverage labels ensures your product looks as refreshing as it tastes. Durability is key—labels must withstand moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling without fading, peeling, or smudging. Choosing high-quality materials ensures that your label remains pristine from bottling to the final sip, reinforcing your brand’s credibility and appeal. At Columbine Label, we know speed matters. Our fast turn times—just 3-5 days after art approval—help you keep up with demand, whether you’re launching a new flavor, expanding distribution, or refreshing your brand. With expert guidance and precision printing, we ensure your non-alcoholic beverage labels not only stand out but arrive on time. Show MoreShow Less ## Built for Bottles, Cans, and Every Sip When it comes to non-alcoholic beverage labels, quality and durability are just as important as design. A well-crafted label ensures your branding and product details remain clear, legible, and professional-looking from the production line to the customer’s hands. Durability is essential, especially for bottles and cans exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or frequent handling. A high-quality label resists smudging, fading, and peeling, keeping your branding intact and readable throughout the product’s lifecycle. This helps maintain a polished appearance while building customer trust by keeping vital details like ingredients, nutritional facts, and certifications visible and accessible. Material choice plays a crucial role in label longevity. Waterproof and scuff-resistant finishes help labels withstand condensation and refrigeration, while strong adhesives ensure they stay securely in place. Investing in premium label materials enhances product presentation and ensures your non-alcoholic beverage labels maintain their integrity from production to purchase. Beyond aesthetics, durable labels save time and money by reducing the need for replacements or reprints due to wear and tear. Choosing high-quality non-alcoholic beverage labels reflects your brand’s attention to detail and reinforces your commitment to excellence, helping you stand out in a competitive market. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/non-alcoholic-kombucha-1024x796.jpeg) ### Moisture and Water Resistance Non-alcoholic beverage labels face moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling, making durability essential. Water-resistant labels withstand condensation, spills, and wear, keeping branding and product details clear and intact. This ensures a fresh, professional look from production to the final sip. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/non-alcoholic-bone-broth-label-1024x796.jpeg) ### Adhesive Strength A strong adhesive is crucial for non-alcoholic beverage labels, keeping them securely attached to bottles or cans through storage, shipping, and handling. High-adhesion labels resist peeling or lifting, even in refrigeration or frequent movement, ensuring a clean and professional appearance. ![Columbine Label Beverage Green Juice](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Beverage-Green-Juice-1024x796.jpeg) ### Fully Customizable Your juice, kombucha, or soda bottle labels should be as unique as your drink!

Products like odor eliminators, sprays, and pet-safe cleaners require clear labeling of ingredients, ensuring they are non-toxic and safe for pets and owners. Labels should include instructions on how to apply, where to use, and how to store the product for optimal results.

These products, such as treats, sprays, or supplements, require clear labeling of key ingredients like natural herbs or calming agents (e.g., valerian root, chamomile). The label should also include usage instructions, dosage recommendations, and any age or size restrictions to ensure safety and effectiveness. For pet owners looking to reduce stress or anxiety in their pets, these labels should provide reassurance by listing trusted ingredients and demonstrating the product’s reliability.

We ship our labels early or on time more than 90% of the time, demonstrating a reliable track record. Health and wellness product sales are often driven by a strong first impression, and labels play a key role in that. Professional, custom labels for health and wellness products draw attention while conveying key attributes such as quality, effectiveness, and care. Essential qualities of high-quality labels include precise color matching, consistency, image clarity, and choosing the right materials to reflect the integrity of your products. ## Common Materials for *Health and Wellness Labels* Labels for health and wellness products must balance both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Custom labels need to be designed with care to meet specific end-use requirements, so thoughtful material selection is key. For example, if your product is stored in environments where it may be exposed to moisture or frequent handling, these factors must be taken into account when choosing the right label material. Unique packaging shapes or consumer usage scenarios, such as products that may be kept in gym bags or bathroom shelves, also play a significant role. If the label material is not properly matched to these conditions, issues like wrinkling or peeling can occur, negatively impacting the appearance of your product and potentially harming your brand’s reputation. We focus on selecting the best adhesive and material to ensure your health and wellness labels perform well both on the shelf and in the consumer’s home. This means considering everything from moisture resistance to durability in everyday use. We offer a variety of materials, adhesives, and finishes, including options like clear, metallic, or eco-friendly materials. For most products, a strong permanent adhesive is sufficient, but we can recommend specialized adhesives for products that experience frequent handling or exposure to moisture. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process, ensuring your labels perform flawlessly from production to purchase. Let us help you choose the right materials for your brand’s success!

From local craft distilleries to large manufacturers, the right label can convey the story behind your spirit, attract attention on crowded shelves, and build brand recognition. For small-batch distilleries, label customization offers an opportunity to showcase individuality and craftsmanship. Unique designs, premium finishes, and custom shapes make your product stand out, highlighting the artisanal nature of your spirits. This is especially true for whiskey bottle labels, where traditional designs and premium materials can reflect heritage and authenticity. High-quality materials such as textured papers, foils, and embossing provide a luxurious feel that reinforces the premium nature of your product. When scaling up to large-scale runs, consistency and efficiency become key. However, the need for premium liquor and whiskey labels doesn’t change. With larger quantities, it’s essential to maintain the same high standards for quality, durability, and design. Investing in durable, moisture-resistant materials ensures your labels will stand up to handling, refrigeration, and storage, keeping your product looking professional from production to the shelf. For those in between, a balance of quality and cost-effectiveness is vital. Whether producing mid-range batches or introducing new lines, you still want labels that speak to your brand’s quality while being mindful of budget. Versatile materials like BOPP or paper labels with strong adhesives provide durability, vibrant colors, and the flexibility to accommodate different production volumes. No matter the size of your operation, liquor and spirits labels are an important marketing tool that communicates your brand’s story and quality, ensuring your product resonates with customers and stands out in a crowded marketplace. Show MoreShow Less ## Capture Your Brand’s Unique Spirit Your liquor and spirits labels are more than just product identifiers—they’re an essential part of your brand’s story. A well-designed label captures the essence of your spirit, helping to distinguish your brand in an increasingly crowded market. From craft gins and whiskies to flavored vodkas and rums, the right label design conveys not only the quality of your product but also its personality and craftsmanship. The key to creating standout liquor and whiskey labels is customization. Every element—from colors and typography to textures and finishes—plays a role in communicating your brand’s identity. Premium touches such as foil stamping, embossing, and matte coatings elevate the visual appeal and set your product apart on the shelf, drawing customers in with a touch of luxury. Durability is equally important. Liquor and spirits labels need to withstand exposure to moisture, oils, and handling without losing their integrity. Choosing the right materials, such as BOPP or high-quality paper, ensures that your label stays intact, keeping your brand’s image polished and professional. Whether you’re a distillery with a unique, small-batch offering or a larger producer, liquor and whiskey bottle labels are essential in building consumer trust, encouraging repeat purchases, and fostering long-term brand loyalty. Let your label reflect the craftsmanship and uniqueness of your product—capture your brand’s true spirit with every bottle. ![A bottle of Furious Whiskey with a scary custom label and a red can of Furious beer on a wooden shelf.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Foundry.png) ### Aesthetic Appeal To stand out on crowded shelves, your labels need to be visually captivating.

[Request a Quote](https://columbinelabel.com/request-a-quote/) ## What Are *Logo Lift Labels* ? **Logo Lift Labels** are a dynamic labeling solution that blends high-impact branding with built-in promotional value. Designed with a removable top layer that doubles as a sticker, these labels turn your packaging into something customers can interact with and keep! The concept is simple but powerful: the top portion of the label features your logo or custom artwork and is engineered to lift cleanly from the package. Once removed, it becomes a promotional sticker that fans can place on laptops, water bottles, phone cases, or any surface they choose. It’s packaging that goes beyond the product, extending your brand’s visibility into the real world. This format offers a unique, tactile experience that adds value to your product and leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re building brand loyalty, promoting a launch, or simply looking for a creative edge, Logo Lift Labels offer a standout way to connect with your audience. Our label construction ensures a smooth, satisfying lift and a high-quality sticker that’s durable enough to last without compromising the integrity of your packaging. **Logo Lift Labels** are ideal for brands that want to do more with less, turning a functional label into a memorable part of the customer experience. In the beverage industry this type of label is sometimes also referred to as a “sip and peel” or “drink and peel” label. But why let the beer guys have all the fun? Logo Lift Labels are for EVERYONE who wants a fun, engaging label! At Columbine Label, we’ll help you craft the perfect version of this label for your product, market, and message. It’s more than a label, it’s also a sticker! It’s a logo they’ll actually keep!

The lift-off layer invites interaction, creating a small but meaningful moment that engages customers and makes your packaging more memorable. This interactive element is ideal for brand storytelling, promotions, or encouraging social sharing. The real beauty of this format lies in its flexibility.

That’s why we combine expertise, creativity, and cutting-edge technology to deliver wine label printing that captures your brand’s essence while helping you stand out in a competitive market. Our state-of-the-art, eight-color printing presses allow for precise color matching, ensuring that even intricate designs, such as detailed vineyard scenes, are reproduced with stunning clarity. Whether you prefer a classic, elegant look or a bold, modern aesthetic, we bring your vision to life with exceptional accuracy. For a truly distinctive finish to your custom wine labels, we offer premium materials, including high-quality textured paper and foil stamping. Unique die-cuts can further enhance the look of your wine labels, giving your bottles a custom shape that reflects your brand’s personality. Looking to add a touch of sophistication? Embossing and hot stamping are wine label printing methods that create eye-catching textures to engage both sight and touch. Embossing raises key design elements, adding depth and luxury, while hot stamping applies metallic foil or pigment with heat, creating a brilliant, high-end effect. These techniques ensure that your wine labels stand out on store shelves, tasting rooms, and dining tables. Durability is also key—our wine labels are crafted to withstand temperature changes, moisture, and handling, ensuring they remain as stunning as the day they were applied. Whether you’re a boutique winery or a large-scale producer, Columbine Label is here to provide wine label printing that reflects your brand’s quality and artistry. Let’s create labels as exceptional as the wine inside the bottle! Show MoreShow Less ## **The Role of Label Material in Wine Packaging** The material used for wine label printing plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and performance, influencing how your bottle looks, feels, and withstands various conditions. A well-chosen wine label enhances branding, ensures durability, and creates a premium experience for consumers. Textured paper remains a favorite among wineries, offering a classic, high-end look that conveys craftsmanship and tradition. These custom wine labels provide a tactile experience that complements the elegance of fine wine. However, they require strong adhesives to ensure they stay securely attached, even in humid environments. For wines that may be stored in ice buckets or refrigerated, synthetic materials like BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) are excellent choices. This wine label printing stock resists moisture and prevents peeling, maintaining a pristine appearance from cellar to table. Clear or metallic BOPP options also allow for innovative label designs, including minimalist transparent effects or bold foil accents. Choosing the right wine label printing material isn’t just about looks—it’s about ensuring your branding remains intact throughout the wine’s journey. Whether you want a traditional, luxurious feel or a sleek, modern finish, selecting the best material helps tell your brand’s story while ensuring durability. Columbine Label offers a variety of materials to match your wine’s unique identity and packaging needs. ![A wine bottle stands in front of black and white grapes on a wooden barrel.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/purgatory-cellars-wine-label.png) ### Aesthetic Appeal To stand out on crowded shelves, your wine labels need to be visually captivating.

A beautifully designed label not only identifies your candle but also conveys the mood, quality, and craftsmanship behind your brand. Whether your candles are rustic and natural, sleek and modern, or luxurious and refined, the right label sets the tone before the wick is ever lit. Because candles often sit in highly visible spaces like living rooms, spas, and retail shelves, presentation is critical. Labels must balance visual appeal with durability, especially since candles are frequently handled by customers. Materials that can withstand oils, wax residue, and the occasional splash of moisture ensure your product stays looking pristine from store shelf to end use. Candle labels can be tailored to fit jars, tins, boxes, or wraps, with endless opportunities for customization in shape, finish, and specialty embellishments. Foil stamping, embossing, matte laminates, and clear materials can all elevate the perceived value of your product and help it stand out in a crowded marketplace. From large batch production to small artisanal runs, choosing the right candle label partner ensures your packaging reflects the same care you put into your craft. Our candle labels are produced with precision, flexibility, and materials suited for the unique demands of the home fragrance industry.

They need to capture attention, communicate your brand story, and stand up to the practical demands of handling, display, and long term use.

Just as importantly, they should enhance your candle’s overall presentation, creating a memorable unboxing and everyday experience for your customers.

Whether for tinctures, topicals, edibles, or capsules, well-designed labels communicate key information such as dosage, ingredients, and regulatory details while reinforcing brand identity. The right materials and finishes ensure durability and a professional appearance, helping products stand out in a competitive market. CBD products come in a variety of packaging types, each requiring specialized labels to ensure longevity and functionality. Bottles, commonly used for tinctures and oils, need labels with strong adhesives that conform to curved surfaces without peeling. Flexible pouches, ideal for gummies, teas, or powders, benefit from moisture-resistant labels that maintain their integrity over time. Jars, used for creams, balms, and edibles, require high-quality labels that withstand frequent handling and potential exposure to oils or moisture. With CBD being used for wellness, relaxation, pain relief, and skincare, labels must be designed to appeal to different consumer segments. A minimalist, clean look may be ideal for health-conscious buyers, while bold, vibrant designs can attract those seeking alternative wellness solutions. Matte or gloss finishes, metallic accents, and clear labels can further enhance brand appeal. Beyond aesthetics, CBD labels must meet legal requirements, including ingredient lists, potency details, and disclaimers. High-quality printing ensures legibility, while durable materials like BOPP or laminated paper provide resistance to moisture, oils, and handling. From sleek tincture bottles to resealable pouches and premium skincare jars, the right labeling solution enhances product presentation while ensuring compliance and longevity. With expert material selection and high-quality printing, CBD brands can create labels that reinforce trust, attract consumers, and elevate their packaging.

Whether packaging tinctures, topicals, edibles, or capsules, selecting the right label materials and adhesives is key to maintaining a professional look and lasting durability. Different container types require specialized labeling solutions. Bottles, commonly used for CBD oils and tinctures, need flexible labels with strong adhesives that conform to curved surfaces without peeling. Jars, ideal for balms and creams, require moisture-resistant labels that withstand frequent handling and exposure to oils. Flexible pouches, used for CBD gummies, teas, and powders, benefit from durable, tear-resistant labels that maintain their integrity over time. When designing Custom CBD Labels, key attributes to consider include moisture resistance, ensuring labels remain intact despite exposure to oils or humidity. Adhesive strength is also critical, preventing labels from lifting on glass, plastic, or metal surfaces. Additionally, high-quality printing ensures legible ingredient lists, dosage information, and compliance details, all crucial for consumer trust. With a variety of materials, finishes, and adhesives available, Custom CBD Labels can be tailored to enhance brand identity and product presentation.

With so many products competing for attention, flower, edibles, concentrates, topicals, beverages, and beyond. Your label needs to do more than simply identify what’s inside. It must capture your brand’s identity, spark curiosity, and earn trust at first glance. A well crafted cannabis label blends design with functionality, helping products stand out on dispensary shelves while also withstanding the unique environments these goods encounter. From glass jars and tins to mylar bags and bottles, each packaging type requires a label that adheres properly, stays durable, and enhances the overall look and feel of your product. Custom cannabis labels are also an opportunity to tell your story. Whether your brand leans toward luxury aesthetics, artisanal craftsmanship, or a bold, eye catching style, labels provide the canvas to communicate what makes your product special. With specialty finishes like foil stamping, embossing, and unique textures, you can create a premium look that resonates with today’s design savvy consumers. At Columbine Label, we print cannabis labels that balance creativity, quality, and practicality. Whether you’re introducing a new product or refreshing your existing line, the right label can set your brand apart in an increasingly competitive market. Show MoreShow Less ## Essential Features of High-Performance *Cannabis Labels* Cannabis labels do more than just display product names, they play a crucial role in branding, functionality, and product integrity. With packaging varying from J-Tubes and mylar bags to glass jars and vape cartridges, labels must be designed to fit unique shapes and surfaces while maintaining durability and appeal. A great cannabis label should stay securely in place, resist environmental factors like moisture and oils, and maintain a professional look throughout the product’s lifecycle. Producers also benefit from the ability to customize labels with unique finishes, eye catching designs, and specialized printing techniques that enhance their brand presence in a competitive market. Beyond appearance, the right label materials and adhesives ensure that products remain easy to handle and store without issues like peeling or fading. Whether you’re working with small batches or large-scale production, having labels that perform well under various conditions is key to maintaining product quality and customer trust. Explore the features that make cannabis labels reliable, durable, and visually impactful. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/vape-and-cannabis-labels-1024x796.jpg) ### Resistance to Environmental Factors Cannabis products are exposed to moisture, oils, and varying temperatures. Labels should be smudge-proof, water-resistant, and durable enough to maintain readability and appearance from production to consumer use. ![Mile High Cake Pops Cannabis products with captivating labels created by Columbine Label Company.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/mile-high-cake-pops-cannabis-labels.png) ### Adhesion & Durability Labels must stay securely on packaging, even on tight mandrel containers like J-Tubes. High-quality adhesives prevent peeling or edge lifting, ensuring compliance and maintaining a professional appearance throughout distribution and retail display. ![A collection of cannabis products with label designs created by Columbine Label Company.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/crativ-cannabis-labels.png) ### Variable Data Printing Producers need the flexibility to print batch-specific information, such as potency, testing results, and barcodes. Variable data printing allows customization while maintaining consistency in branding, reducing waste and ensuring accurate product tracking. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Tight-Mandrel_Cannabis-labels-1024x768.jpeg) ### Branding & Shelf Appeal Eye-catching designs help cannabis products stand out in a competitive market.

These labels must adhere to state cannabis regulations, including THC content, warnings, and batch details. Since J-Tubes are small and cylindrical, wraparound labels or shrink sleeves are ideal for maximizing space. High-quality materials ensure adhesion and readability, even in varying temperatures and handling conditions. ### Labels for Cannabis Edibles **Common Container Types:** [Jars](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-for-jars/), [Bags](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-for-bags/) Popular cannabis edibles are brownies, cookies, chocolates, honey, cannabutter, and candy. Cannabis products must be labeled properly to ensure consumers are informed about the contents to prevent unintended use. Labeling requirements for the primary panel should include a universal symbol recognizing the contents of the product and the dosage, while the information panel will include additional required information. Your Cannabis Edible label communicates your brand and keeps your consumers safe. ![THC toasted kernels have an attractive yellow and white colored label.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Higher-kernals-cannabis-labels.png) ![Labels for Breakwater products and marijuana flowers appear on a brown surface.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/breakwater-cannabis-labels.png) ### Labels for Cannabis Oils **Common Container Types:** [Tinctures](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-for-tinctures/) Cannabis oil labels are critical in communicating information to your buyer. Knowledgeable buyers are looking for branded products; most importantly they want to know the concentration of CBD (in mg) in your product, and if there is a presence of solvents/toxins. Oils tend to be tough on label materials, thus proper selection of the right material (oil-resistant face-stocks, topcoat / laminate and adhesive) is important when labeling your cannabis oil products so your buyer will remain informed. ### Labels for Cannabis Topicals **Common Container Type:** [Jars](https://columbinelabel.com/labels-for-jars/) For cannabis topicals, you are typically speaking to various consumer demographics. Your product needs a professional and durable label material that communicates to the need of each consumer type while staying in compliance with regulations. Cannabis Topicals fall under current FDA guidelines and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Label material selection for cannabis topicals is key to ensuring proper performance and endurance through to end-use. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/CBD-Cannabinoid-topical-1024x796.jpg) #### Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division Labeling Requirements #### In Colorado Marijuana labeling is regulated by the [Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED)](https://casetext.com/regulation/colorado-administrative-code/department-200-department-of-revenue/division-212-marijuana-enforcement-division/rule-1-ccr-212-3-colorado-marijuana-rules/part-3-regulated-marijuana-business-operations/section-1-ccr-212-3-3-1020-packaging-and-labeling-requirements-for-transfers-to-a-consumer-at-a-retail-marijuana-hospitality-and-sales-business#:~:text=The%20Container%20must%20be%20affixed,Universal%20Symbol%3A%20%22Contains%20Marijuana.).

Whether made of aluminum, tin, or steel, cans provide excellent product protection, extended shelf life, and a sleek, modern appearance. However, applying labels to cans requires careful attention to fit, adhesion, and durability to ensure a professional and long-lasting result. Canned beverages, such as craft beer, energy drinks, and soft drinks, often use shrink sleeves or pressure-sensitive labels to achieve a seamless look. In the food industry, canned goods like soups, vegetables, and sauces require labels that can withstand temperature changes, moisture, and handling throughout their lifecycle. Beyond food and drinks, cans are also widely used in industries like cosmetics (aerosol sprays), pet food, and industrial chemicals, each with unique labeling needs. For a successful label application, brands must consider key factors such as label material, adhesive strength, and durability. Labels should resist condensation, handling wear, and environmental exposure while maintaining clear branding and product information. Whether you need full-wrap labels for a bold visual impact or spot labels for a minimalist approach, choosing the right label solution ensures your cans stand out on the shelf and meet industry standards. Below, we’ll explore the essential aspects of designing, printing, and applying labels that fit cans perfectly, ensuring both functionality and brand appeal. Show MoreShow Less ## The Must Have Elements of *Can Labeling* Labeling cans requires a combination of durability, precision, and high-quality printing to ensure a polished and professional look. Whether for food, beverages, or industrial products, cans face unique challenges such as condensation, refrigeration, and frequent handling. Custom-fit labels help prevent wrinkles and bubbling, ensuring a smooth application. Strong adhesives are essential for keeping labels firmly in place, even in cold storage or high-moisture environments. Without the right adhesive, labels can peel or shift, compromising the product’s appearance and branding. Additionally, durable materials that resist water, scuffs, and fading ensure that labels maintain their clarity and integrity over time. Finally, vibrant, high-resolution printing ensures that logos, branding, and regulatory information remain clear and visually appealing. A high-quality label not only enhances the overall look of the can but also helps it stand out in a crowded marketplace. By selecting the right combination of materials, adhesives, and printing techniques, brands can achieve can labels that are both durable and eye-catching. ![A Cracker Jack Denver Beer can with a custom label created by Columbine Label Company.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Denver-Beer-Co_craft-Beer.png) ### Custom-Fit Label Shapes Cans often have curved surfaces, requiring precision-cut labels to prevent wrinkling, bubbling, or misalignment. Whether using full-wrap labels or spot labels, a tailored shape ensures a seamless and professional application. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Can-Labels-scaled.jpg) ### Adhesive Strength The right adhesive ensures labels stick securely to metal surfaces, even in cold storage or high-moisture environments.

However, applying labels to these uniquely shaped containers presents challenges that require specialized solutions. Unlike flat or straight-walled surfaces, tapered containers gradually change in diameter from top to bottom. This means a standard rectangular label won’t apply smoothly—it will wrinkle, distort, or fail to adhere properly. Many industries rely on tapered containers to enhance both product functionality and shelf appeal. The [food](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-food-labels/) and [beverage](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/) sector commonly uses tapered tubs for items like yogurt, sour cream, and deli spreads, while [craft breweries](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beer-labels/) and [distilleries](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-spirits-labels/) package products in tapered cans and bottles. In the [health](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-health-labels/) and [beauty](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-personal-care-product-labels/) industry, tapered jars and bottles are standard for [lotions, cosmetics, and personal care products](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-personal-care-product-labels/). Even [industrial products](https://columbinelabel.com/chemical-labels/) such as adhesives, lubricants, and specialty coatings often come in tapered pails or canisters. To achieve a flawless application, labels for tapered containers must be precisely designed with a slight curve, allowing them to wrap smoothly without bubbling or misalignment. The right materials and adhesives are also essential to ensure durability, whether the container is exposed to refrigeration, moisture, or handling in high-traffic retail environments. Whether you’re branding food products, cosmetics, or specialty goods, choosing the right label solution ensures your packaging looks professional and stands out on the shelf. The following sections will explore how to design, print, and apply labels that perfectly fit tapered containers, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Show MoreShow Less ## Essential Elements of Tapered Container Labeling Ensuring a perfect label fit on tapered containers requires thoughtful design, the right materials, and precise application. Because these containers gradually change in diameter, traditional rectangular labels won’t adhere smoothly, often leading to wrinkling or misalignment. To avoid this, labels must be custom-shaped to follow the container’s unique contours, creating a seamless and professional look. Beyond shape, adhesive selection plays a crucial role in label performance. A well-chosen adhesive prevents lifting or bubbling, ensuring labels stay securely in place even on sloped surfaces. Additionally, material durability is essential, especially for products exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or frequent handling. Labels should resist wear and tear while maintaining a premium appearance. Finally, precise printing and application techniques ensure that branding elements remain clear and properly positioned. Whether applied manually or by machine, the right approach guarantees a smooth, wrinkle-free label that enhances the product’s shelf presence. By combining these factors—custom design, strong adhesion, durable materials, and careful application—brands can achieve high-quality labels that complement their tapered packaging and reinforce their identity. ![Columbine Label Tapered Containers Gin](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tapered-Containers_Gin-1024x768.jpeg) ### Custom Die Cut Shapes Standard rectangular labels won’t apply smoothly to tapered surfaces. A precisely designed die-cut shape with a slight curve ensures a wrinkle-free fit, maintaining brand consistency and a professional look on the shelf. ![Columbine Label Tapered Containers Hand Soap](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tapered-Containers_Hand-Soap-1024x768.jpg) ### Adhesive Selection The right adhesive prevents lifting, bubbling, or slipping on sloped surfaces. High-tack or repositionable adhesives ensure a secure bond while allowing for adjustments during application, essential for hand-applied or automated labeling processes. ![Columbine Label Tapered Containers Ice Cream](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tapered-Containers-1024x796.jpg) ### Material Durability Labels must withstand environmental factors like refrigeration, moisture, and handling. Choosing materials with moisture resistance, scuff-proof finishes, or flexible films ensures longevity and maintains a premium appearance throughout the product’s lifecycle. ![Columbine Label Tapered Containers Olive Oil](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tapered-Containers_Olive-Oil-1024x768.jpg) ### Precision Printing & Application Proper design alignment prevents skewed logos or distorted text. High-quality printing and application techniques, whether manual or automated, ensure labels maintain their intended placement, reinforcing brand identity and visual appeal. ## Ready to Print Your Best Tapered Labels Yet?

Whether your honey is in a plastic squeeze bottle, or a classic glass jar choosing the right label is essential for standing out in a competitive market. Each type of packaging requires a unique approach to labeling. For plastic squeeze bottles, durable, flexible labels that bend with the bottle’s shape are key, ensuring a clean and professional appearance. Glass jars, on the other hand, benefit from labels that are both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, providing an opportunity to emphasize premium quality and craftsmanship. For honey sold in bags, labels must adhere to various surfaces while maintaining legibility and durability, particularly for products that are exposed to the elements or require sealing for freshness. Beyond appearance, the regulatory compliance of your labels is essential across all packaging types. Whether it’s displaying ingredient lists, nutritional facts, or origin information, your labels must be clear, concise, and fully compliant with local and federal guidelines. From honey jars to squeeze bottles and bags, each package type presents a different set of challenges, and choosing the right label ensures your product remains as appealing as it is compliant. Our custom honey labels are designed to meet the specific needs of every packaging type, providing high-quality materials and flexible options that ensure your brand shines. No matter what container you choose for your honey, we’ve got you covered with the perfect label solution. Designed to endure various environmental conditions, durable honey labels resist moisture, oil, and temperature changes, keeping your branding intact. This is especially important for honey, as it’s often stored in kitchens or pantries where exposure to spills and humidity is common. With high-quality materials like waterproof and oil-resistant finishes, your labels remain vibrant and legible throughout your product’s lifecycle. Custom honey labels also provide an excellent opportunity to showcase your brand’s unique story. From elegant designs for premium honey jars to rustic, natural themes for raw or organic products, durable labels can be tailored to reflect your values and attract your target customers. Adding features like QR codes, nutritional information, or clear window cutouts for the honey’s natural golden hue enhances the customer experience. Investing in durable labels not only protects your product but also strengthens your brand’s reputation for quality. They combine aesthetics with practicality, ensuring your custom honey products leave a lasting impression.

They are most commonly found in applications where a natural, tactile appearance is desired such as specialty food and beverage products, candles, cosmetics, health supplements, and boutique retail items. Their printable surface makes them ideal for capturing intricate designs, bold colors, or subtle textures that enhance a brand’s personality. Paper labels are often the go to choice for indoor applications or products with shorter life cycles, where durability against moisture, extreme temperatures, or heavy handling is less of a concern. They can range from smooth, coated stocks that produce sharp, vibrant graphics to uncoated or textured finishes that deliver a more artisanal or vintage feel. While BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) labels dominate the market for products requiring high moisture resistance, chemical resistance, or long-term durability, such as beverages, bath products, and outdoor goods, paper labels are favored for their aesthetic appeal, versatility, and often more eco-friendly material options. Unlike BOPP, which is a synthetic film, paper labels offer a more organic look and feel, which can align with a brand’s identity, especially in markets where authenticity and craftsmanship are key selling points. Because they differ in composition, paper and BOPP labels each excel in different environments. Paper labels shine in controlled indoor settings where their visual impact can take center stage, while BOPP labels are built to withstand harsher conditions. This distinction allows brands to select the material that best aligns with both the product’s practical needs and its marketing goals, ensuring the label not only looks great but performs appropriately in its intended environment. Show MoreShow Less ## Are *Paper Labels* Right For You? When it comes to product packaging, paper labels offer a unique blend of visual impact, flexibility, and branding potential that sets them apart from other materials. They bring a classic, adaptable quality that works across countless industries, from specialty foods and beverages to cosmetics, home goods, and retail products. While paper labels may share some visual warmth with options like wine stock or natural kraft, they are distinct in their versatility. Wine stock is typically used for premium beverage applications and features specialized textures designed to withstand cold, damp environments, while natural kraft offers an earthy, rustic aesthetic tied to its unbleached brown tone. Paper labels, on the other hand, can take on a broad spectrum of finishes, from smooth and polished to subtly textured, and can be printed in nearly any color palette or style. This adaptability means paper labels can meet a wide range of branding needs, whether your goal is modern sophistication, bold shelf presence, or understated elegance. In the following section, you’ll discover how paper labels combine print quality, finish variety, adhesion performance, and design flexibility to create a labeling solution that not only enhances your product’s appearance but also supports your brand’s story. ![Columbine Label Paper Labels Pet Food](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Paper-Labels-Pet-Food-1024x796.jpg) ### Premium Print Quality Paper labels provide an excellent print surface, allowing for sharp text, rich colors, and intricate designs. This makes them ideal for creating visually striking packaging that reflects your brand’s personality and captures consumer attention. ![Columbine Label Paper Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Paper-Labels-1024x796.jpg) ### Versatile Finishes Available in smooth, coated, uncoated, and textured options, paper labels can deliver everything from a sleek, modern look to a handcrafted, artisanal feel, offering flexibility to match any brand style or product category. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Paper-Labels-Tea-1024x796.jpg) ### Excellent Adhesion on Various Surfaces Paper labels bond well to a wide range of packaging materials, including glass, cardboard, and certain plastics, making them adaptable for different product types and packaging designs without sacrificing label performance. ![Columbine Labels Paper Labels Laundry Detergent](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Paper-Labels-Laundry-Detergent-1024x796.jpg) ### Highly Customizable Appearance Paper labels can be easily tailored with specialty inks, embossing, foiling, or die-cut shapes, giving brands creative freedom to design packaging that stands out and reinforces their unique market positioning. ## Print Your Paper Labels Today!

Show MoreShow Less ## Spicing Up Shelf Appeal with Lasting Quality When it comes to salsa, label quality and durability are just as important as eye-catching design. A well-crafted salsa label ensures that your branding and product information remain clear, legible, and professional-looking from the first jar to the last. Durability is key, especially for salsa labels that face exposure to moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling. A high-quality label resists smudging, fading, and peeling, keeping your branding vibrant and intact. This not only helps maintain a polished, professional look on store shelves but also builds customer trust by ensuring ingredient lists, expiration dates, and certifications stay easy to read. Material choice is crucial for label longevity. Waterproof and oil-resistant finishes help labels withstand condensation, spills, and refrigeration, while strong adhesives prevent peeling or lifting. Investing in premium label materials ensures your salsa looks fresh and appealing from production to purchase. Beyond aesthetics, durable labels save time and money by reducing the need for replacements due to wear and tear. Choosing high-quality labels shows your dedication to detail and reinforces your brand’s commitment to excellence—an essential ingredient in building customer confidence and loyalty. ![Columbine Label Salsa Verde](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Salsa-Verde-Salsa-1024x796.jpeg) ### Moisture and Water Resistance Salsa jars often face exposure to moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling, making durable labels essential. Water-resistant labels that withstand condensation, spills, and repeated use ensure your branding and product information stay clear and intact. This durability helps maintain a fresh, professional appearance from the store shelf to the moment your customers open the jar. ![Columbine Label Custom Salsa Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Salsa-Jars-1024x796.jpeg) ### Adhesive Strength A strong adhesive is essential for salsa labels, ensuring they stay securely attached to glass jars or plastic containers throughout storage, shipping, and handling.

Whether you’re launching a new product or refreshing an existing one, your label is often the first impression consumers will have of your brand. In an increasingly competitive market, every detail of your product label counts—from the colors and textures to the shape and durability. Product labels serve as more than just a means of information—they are a vital tool for capturing attention, conveying your brand’s message, and ensuring your product meets industry standards. A custom label should not only look good but also function effectively in different environments and handling conditions. This means selecting the right label materials, finishes, and features that will ensure your labels stand the test of time, whether they’re on store shelves, in the hands of consumers, or enduring exposure to water, oils, or rough handling. At Columbine Label, we specialize in crafting custom product labels that enhance your brand’s visibility and appeal. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, we offer a wide variety of options to help you create labels that are as unique as your product. From premium materials and eye-catching finishes to flexible label shapes, our expert team is committed to bringing your vision to life with the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. In the sections ahead, we’ll dive deeper into the key features that make custom product labels a game-changer for your brand. Let’s explore how materials, finishes, shapes, and label configurations can elevate your product and set you apart from the competition. Show MoreShow Less ## Crafting the Perfect *Product Labels* When creating custom product labels, four key features are essential for ensuring your product stands out and meets functional needs. First, selecting the right label materials is crucial for durability and appearance. Options range from paper for a classic look to synthetic materials like vinyl, offering resistance to water and abrasion for long-lasting quality. Next, consider label finishes, which enhance both the aesthetics and durability of your product. Gloss finishes bring vibrant colors and shine, making your label pop, while matte finishes provide a more subdued, modern look that is easy to read under various lighting. Roll and sheet labels offer flexibility depending on your application needs. Roll labels are perfect for high-volume automated processes, ensuring efficiency, while sheet labels are well-suited for smaller batches and manual applications, providing versatility across different production scales. Lastly, label shape can be fully customized to match your product’s branding and packaging. Whether you prefer standard rectangles or intricate die-cut designs, the shape of your label can help differentiate your product on crowded shelves, making a memorable impression. By carefully selecting the right materials, finishes, and shapes for your product labels, you can create an eye-catching and functional design that resonates with your customers and enhances your brand. ![Materials in stock](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Untitled-design-17.png) ### Label Materials Label materials vary from paper to durable synthetic options like vinyl, polyester, and polypropylene.

Whether handed out at trade shows, included in product shipments, or sold as branded merchandise, vinyl stickers serve as a creative way to increase brand exposure. Because they can be die-cut into almost any shape, they’re also ideal for showcasing logos or designs in a bold, memorable way.

High-quality labels are not just about design—they’re a vital part of the customer experience. With vibrant colors, sharp graphics, and premium materials, your labels create an immediate impression and reflect the quality of your beer. Whether you’re a small craft brewery or a larger producer, investing in premium craft beer labels helps differentiate your product from the competition, ensuring it grabs attention on crowded shelves.

Show MoreShow Less ## Beer Labels, Crafted to Endure When it comes to craft beer labels, quality and durability are just as important as the design. A well-crafted label ensures your branding and product details remain clear, legible, and professional-looking from the taproom to the store shelf. Durability is crucial, especially for bottles and cans exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or frequent handling. A high-quality craft beer label resists smudging, fading, and peeling, keeping your branding intact and readable throughout the product’s lifecycle. This not only maintains a polished appearance but also builds customer trust by keeping vital details like ingredient lists, ABV, and brewing notes visible and easily accessible. Material choice plays a critical role in label durability. Waterproof and scuff-resistant finishes help labels stand up to moisture and refrigeration, while strong adhesives ensure they won’t peel off prematurely. Investing in premium label materials enhances your product’s presentation and ensures your craft beer labels stay consistent from production to purchase. In addition to looking great, durable labels save time and money by minimizing the need for reprints or replacements due to wear and tear. Choosing high-quality craft beer labels reflects attention to detail and reinforces your brewery’s commitment to excellence, building consumer confidence and loyalty in a competitive market. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Tommyknocker-Haze-Image-scaled.jpg) ### Moisture and Water Resistance Craft beer labels are exposed to moisture, refrigeration, and frequent handling, making durability crucial. Water-resistant labels that resist condensation, spills, and wear ensure your branding and product information stay clear and intact. This durability preserves a fresh, professional look from the shelf to the pour. ![Half Acre custom labeled can leaning on a glass full of beer.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Half-Acre_craft-beer.png) ### Adhesive Strength A strong adhesive is essential for craft beer labels, ensuring they stay securely attached to bottles or cans through storage, shipping, and handling. Labels with high adhesion properties resist peeling or lifting, even under refrigeration or frequent movement, maintaining a clean and professional appearance. ![A Cracker Jack Denver Beer can with a custom label created by Columbine Label Company.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-600-×-600-px.png) ### Fully Customizable Your craft beer labels are as unique as your brew!

These surfaces, known as tight mandrels, create unique challenges for label adhesion and durability. Without the right construction, labels on these items can lift, wrinkle, or even fall off entirely due to the curve and tension of the container. Common examples of tight mandrel products include lip balm tubes, joint tubes, mascara containers, vape cartridges, mini essential oil bottles, and sample-sized cosmetics. These items are typically made of plastic or metal and have diameters as small as 0.5 inches, which means labels must be flexible enough to conform to the curve without losing adhesion over time. Successful labeling in these applications requires a combination of a conformable facestock and a high-performance adhesive. The facestock must be thin and pliable, allowing it to bend around the container without creating air bubbles or creases. Meanwhile, the adhesive needs to offer strong initial tack and long-term hold, often with resistance to moisture, oils, and temperature fluctuations—especially important for products stored in purses, pockets, or humid environments like bathrooms. Converters and brands looking to label tight mandrel products should work with material suppliers experienced in these applications. Testing is essential, especially if the containers are squeezable or come into contact with substances like waxes or oils that can interfere with adhesion. With the right label construction, even the most compact products can deliver a professional look and a label that stays put. Show MoreShow Less ## How to Avoid Label Failure on *Tight Mandrel Products* Labeling tight mandrel containers requires more than just shrinking down a standard label. These small, cylindrical products—like lip balm tubes, joint tubes, and mini cosmetic containers—demand label constructions that are engineered for performance under pressure. The reduced surface area and sharp curvature increase the risk of label failure if the materials aren’t specifically chosen to meet these challenges. For brands, this means selecting a label that delivers both function and visual appeal. It’s not just about sticking—it’s about staying put and looking great in the process. Whether a product is pulled from a pocket, tossed in a bag, or exposed to moisture and friction, the label needs to hold up and preserve its messaging. Additionally, these compact formats often carry a lot of responsibility. The label must clearly convey branding, compliance details, ingredients, and sometimes tamper-evidence—often within a very limited space. This places added importance on print clarity, layout precision, and the ability to maintain a professional look from shelf to consumer use. Working with a label supplier who understands tight mandrel demands ensures the right facestock, adhesive, and print method come together for a label that fits as perfectly as the product it wraps. ![Columbine Label Lip Balm Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Lip-Balm-Labels-2.png) ### Conformability Labels must flex and wrap smoothly around small-diameter containers without lifting, bubbling, or wrinkling—ensuring a clean, professional appearance even on the tightest curves. ![Columbine Label Tight Mandrel Vape](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Tight-Mandrel_Vape-1024x768.jpeg) ### High-Tack Adhesive Strong initial adhesion is critical for small, curved surfaces. A high-tack adhesive helps labels stay firmly in place from the moment they’re applied, even on slick or low-energy substrates. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-3.24.23 PM.jpg) ### Durability Tight mandrel products like lip balm and vape tubes are frequently handled. Labels must resist abrasion, moisture, and oils to maintain readability and appearance through the product’s lifecycle. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Tight-Mandrel_Cannabis-labels-1024x768.jpeg) ### Print Quality and Compatibility Despite their size, these labels carry critical branding and regulatory info. Companies need materials that print crisp graphics, tiny text, and barcodes clearly—whether using flexo or digital printing. ## Ready to Print Your Best Tight Mandrel Product Labels Yet?

[Lip Balm Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-lip-balm-labels/) ### Cannabis Product Labels **Common Materials:** BOPP, Poly Film Cannabis labels for joint tubes and vape cartridges must meet tight mandrel requirements to ensure a secure fit on small, curved containers. These labels need high-tack adhesives, flexible materials, and excellent durability to withstand handling, humidity, and transport. Additionally, they must accommodate required compliance information and branding in a compact space without sacrificing print clarity or regulatory readability.

Whether it’s relaxation, energy, or simple everyday comfort. The label on these products sets the stage for that experience, often serving as the first touchpoint for consumers. An elegant, well crafted label can communicate purity, quality, and authenticity, while also standing up to the unique demands of these product types. Essential oil bottles are typically small, requiring labels that balance legibility with design appeal. Durable materials are especially important here, as oils can sometimes come in contact with packaging surfaces. For wax melts, and diffusers, labels not only carry the brand identity but also withstand environmental factors such as heat, handling, or even exposure to moisture. Home fragrance products are often gifted, displayed, or used as décor, which means presentation matters as much as performance. Your labels need to align with this elevated role, capturing both the sensory experience and the brand story. Whether you lean toward minimalist, natural inspired designs or luxe metallic finishes, the right label can strengthen your brand’s connection with consumers. At Columbine Label, we produce essential oil and home fragrance labels with premium materials, rich printing options, and finishes that make your product stand out. From small batch artisans to large scale wellness brands, we help you create packaging that feels as refined as the experience inside.

Our labels are engineered to remain beautiful and functional, whether applied to glass bottles, tin candle jars, or plastic diffuser containers. We offer a wide range of material options, including durable films and richly textured papers, giving you the ability to match your packaging with your brand personality. Advanced printing techniques allow for vibrant color, metallic foils, or matte finishes that elevate your presentation. Equally important, adhesives and finishes are chosen to handle factors like oil contact, heat, or frequent handling. The result is packaging that delivers a premium customer experience while ensuring durability, shelf appeal, and compliance with practical needs. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Home-Fragrance-Essential-Oil-assortment-1024x796.jpg) ### Small Format Precision Essential oil bottles are compact, requiring precise label design and printing.

Whether it’s a hand poured candle, a premium vape cartridge, or apparel meant to promote your company, these labels do more than provide product details; they capture attention and convey identity. At Columbine Label, we understand that lifestyle-driven products are built on aesthetics as much as utility. A candle label, for example, sets the mood before the wick is ever lit. A cannabis or vape label must not only stand out on crowded shelves, but also adhere to strict regulations. Apparel and merchandise labels carry your brand beyond the point of sale, turning customers into walking advocates. Even promotional freebies given away at trade shows or community events depend on labels to keep your brand in focus long after the event ends. No matter the lifestyle product, the right custom label ensures your brand identity sticks, literally and figuratively. Show MoreShow Less ## Common Materials for *Lifestyle Labels* Lifestyle products are diverse, which means the labels that serve them must be equally versatile. From premium candles to apparel giveaways, no single material type is right for every application. Instead, brand owners choose from a range of stocks and films to balance durability, cost, and visual appeal. The most common options include BOPP films, traditional paper stocks, specialty wine stocks, and durable poly films. Each material offers unique strengths that can elevate your lifestyle products and ensure your brand identity stays consistent across different categories. Your Columbine Label representative will help you pick the perfect material that offers the right adhesive, ideal substrates, and vibrant print quality ensure your labels stay put and look sharp, no matter the environment.

Each of these shapes has a standard corner radius of 0.125″ for squares and rectangles, giving them a clean, slightly rounded edge. One of the biggest advantages of choosing a standard shape is die availability. Labels are cut with precision metal dies, each made to match a specific shape and size. If your shape matches one of our many in-stock dies, you may not need to purchase a new tool, saving you both cost and production time. Even if you do need a die, the cost is lower than for complex custom shapes, and you’ll only need to purchase it once. Standard shapes are incredibly versatile and work well for everything from food and beverage packaging to personal care products and industrial labeling. Their clean geometry offers a timeless, balanced look that complements most design styles. Whether you’re ordering small promotional stickers or large product labels, these shapes offer proven visual appeal and streamlined production efficiency. Show MoreShow Less ## Why *Standard Shapes* Are a Smart Choice Choosing a standard shape for your labels offers the perfect combination of cost efficiency, fast turnaround, and classic design appeal. Because these shapes are widely used across industries, dies are often readily available, reducing lead times and eliminating extra tooling expenses. The uniformity of standard shapes ensures consistent application across a variety of products, making them a smart choice for brands with multiple SKUs or packaging types. Their simplicity also provides a clean canvas for your branding, whether you opt for bold graphics or minimalistic design. From a production standpoint, these shapes optimize press and finishing efficiency, helping you get high-quality labels quickly and at a competitive price. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Paper-Labels-Tea-1024x796.jpg) ### Widely Available Dies for Faster Turnaround Common shapes are more likely to match an existing in-stock die, eliminating the need for custom tooling and speeding up the production process for faster delivery. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Nutraceutical-Labels_variety-1024x796.jpeg) ### Consistent, Versatile Designs Standard shapes work with almost any product type or industry, providing a timeless, professional look that supports a wide range of branding strategies. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/non-alcoholic-bone-broth-label-1024x796.jpeg) ### Cost-Effective Production Fewer setup requirements and simpler die configurations mean lower costs compared to custom shapes, allowing you to maximize your budget without sacrificing quality. ![A selection of Botanical Bee Apothecary cosmetic products surrounded by reddish Sempervivum tectorum plants.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/120872_3_1024x1024-e1680620060211.webp) ### Clean, Polished Look Straightforward shapes create a balanced frame for your graphics, logos, and product information, ensuring your design stands out clearly on shelves. ## Get Your Standard Shape Labels Today!

The slight corner rounding improves durability, preventing edges from lifting over time. ### Square Labels With a standard 0.125″ corner radius, square labels have a balanced, modern feel. Ideal for small product labels, QR codes, or packaging accents, they work well across industries and are easy to apply. ![Laws Whiskey bottles with embossed custom labels in a cellar surrounded by wooden barrels.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Laws.png) ![A unique bottle of Rocker Whiskey proudly presents its new hot stamp foil custom label created by Columbine Label.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Rockerreedits-193-1024x684.jpg) ### Circle Labels Perfect for seals, promotional stickers, or product packaging, circle labels offer a friendly, approachable look. They’re popular for jar lids, bakery items, and craft goods, and can be printed in a variety of finishes and adhesives. ### Oval Labels Oval labels have a softer profile than rectangles, offering a refined look for cosmetics, candles, or specialty foods. Their shape naturally draws the eye to the center, highlighting key branding elements. ![Oval Label](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Oval-Label-1024x796.jpg) #### FDA Compliance #### The Food and Drug Administration [(FDA) guidelines ](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry-food-labeling-guide)provide direction on label size, placement and required food label information.

This includes shapes with sharp square corners, unique contours, and completely custom outlines designed to match your brand’s identity. Like all labels, special shapes are cut with metal dies made specifically for your dimensions and outline. Because these shapes are less common, they often require a new die purchase, a one-time investment that you can reuse for future orders. Certain “common” special shapes, such as lip balm labels, are shared among multiple customers and may already be in stock. Die cost varies based on size and complexity, including the number of gear teeth required. More teeth can improve cut precision on intricate designs but may add to tooling expense. Choosing a special shape is a strategic way to boost shelf appeal, communicate brand personality, and fit unusual packaging forms. Show MoreShow Less ## The Branding Power of *Special Shape* Labels When your brand demands more than standard shapes can offer, custom and special shape labels provide limitless design possibilities. These labels can be cut to match your logo silhouette, packaging profile, or a completely original concept. Special shapes help products stand out in crowded markets by breaking from the typical square or rectangular look. Whether you’re creating a premium cosmetic line, a playful beverage brand, or limited edition packaging, a unique contour immediately catches the eye. From an engineering standpoint, our team ensures that even intricate shapes are production ready, with the right die gear teeth and layout to maintain quality and efficiency. ![Columbine Label Tapered Containers Gin](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tapered-Containers_Gin-1024x768.jpeg) ### Unique, Brand-Defining Shapes Create a label outline that matches your product or logo for instant shelf appeal.

Unlike standard paper labels, which are typically bright white or coated for a smooth, uniform finish, natural kraft labels have a warm brown tone and visible paper fibers that create a more organic, handmade aesthetic. This gives them a distinctive presence on packaging, making them popular for products that want to communicate sustainability, authenticity, or artisanal craftsmanship. While kraft is technically a type of paper, it is produced differently from the white or coated papers commonly used for general product labeling. Kraft is made from unbleached pulp, resulting in a sturdier, more textured material with a natural color that is not printed or artificially achieved. This composition not only influences its look, but also the way inks interact with the surface, something that sets it apart from typical paper stocks. Natural kraft labels are also distinct from wine stock labels. Wine stocks are generally textured, premium paper materials designed to convey elegance and work well with specialty finishes like embossing or foil stamping. They often have a bright or neutral base color to enhance fine detail in printing. In contrast, natural kraft’s darker background and organic surface texture give it a more casual, earthy appearance, and it is less about refined luxury and more about grounded, authentic branding. This category is especially suited for brands that want their packaging to reflect eco-conscious values or to stand out in markets where natural, handmade, or farm-to-table aesthetics resonate with customers. From specialty foods and beverages to health, wellness, and craft goods, natural kraft labels provide a distinctive foundation for bold, minimalist, or vintage-inspired designs. Show MoreShow Less ## *Natural Kraft Labels* Known for Texture, Tone, and Timeless Appeal Natural kraft labels bring a character and personality to packaging that other materials simply can’t replicate. Their rich brown tone and fibrous texture create an unmistakable visual presence that feels authentic and grounded. One of the most charming aspects of natural kraft is that it’s truly natural, the color isn’t artificially produced, which means there can be slight variations in shade from one batch of stock to the next. Rather than being a drawback, this subtle difference adds to the material’s appeal, reinforcing the idea of uniqueness and individuality in each run of labels. These labels work beautifully across a range of design styles, from bold, high-contrast graphics to understated, minimalist layouts. The tonal warmth of kraft can make lighter inks, foils, and specialty finishes pop in unexpected ways, while its tactile surface adds an extra layer of dimension to the customer experience. Whether the goal is to evoke heritage craftsmanship, artisanal quality, or modern simplicity, natural kraft provides a distinctive foundation that complements and elevates the brand story. In a retail environment where so many products fight for attention, natural kraft’s organic tone and texture stand out for their authenticity, making it a go-to choice for brands that value both visual impact and genuine character. ![Natural Kraft Labels - smoke](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Natural-Kraft-Labels-smoke-1024x796.jpg) ### Distinctive Appearance Natural kraft labels offer a warm brown tone with visible paper fibers, creating a handcrafted, rustic aesthetic that instantly sets products apart. This unique background color enhances minimalist designs and pairs well with bold, high contrast graphics. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Natural-Kraft-Labels-whiskey-1024x796.jpg) ### Versatile Brand Positioning The organic texture and neutral base of kraft complement a wide range of design styles from vintage and heritage-inspired branding to modern, minimalist packaging, making it a flexible choice for diverse industries and product lines. ![Natural Kraft Labels - gummy bears](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Natural-Kraft-Labels-gummy-bears-1024x796.jpg) ### Strong Visual Contrast Kraft’s naturally darker background creates striking contrast when paired with lighter inks, metallic foils, or opaque whites. This contrast draws attention on crowded shelves and highlights design elements without overwhelming the product’s overall look. ![Natural Kraft Labels - pickles 2](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Natural-Kraft-Labels-pickles-2-1024x796.jpg) ### Tactile Customer Appeal The uncoated, textured surface of natural kraft labels adds a physical dimension to product packaging. This tactile quality invites customers to engage with the product, enhancing perceived quality and memorability in a competitive retail environment. ## Get Your Natural Kraft Labels Today!

In packaging, the term “poly films” generally refers to polymer-based substrates such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyester (PET). These materials are engineered to provide a combination of strength, printability, and resistance to moisture, oils, and other environmental factors that can compromise a label or package’s integrity. Within the label industry, poly films play a major role in **one-time-use flexible packaging**. A prime example is **stick packs**—those slim, sealed packets commonly used for single-serve products like powdered drink mixes, nutritional supplements, condiments, and personal care items. Poly films in stick packs offer excellent barrier properties, protecting contents from light, moisture, and air, while maintaining the flexibility needed for efficient form-fill-seal production. The smooth surface of these films also allows for high-resolution graphics, ensuring the package stands out while conveying important branding and product information. Poly films are also the foundation for **shrink sleeve labels**, which are printed film materials that are heat-shrunk to tightly conform to the contours of a container. This packaging format is especially popular for beverage bottles, cans, and uniquely shaped products because it provides full 360-degree coverage, allowing for vibrant, edge-to-edge graphics. Beyond shelf appeal, poly films used for shrink sleeves must maintain stability during the shrinking process and offer durability for products exposed to moisture, refrigeration, or handling stress. In both flexible packaging and shrink sleeves, poly films deliver a balance of performance and design versatility that paper-based or rigid label materials cannot match. They allow brands to create packaging that is visually striking, functional, and protective critical for standing out in today’s competitive consumer goods market. Show MoreShow Less ## *Poly Films* Deliver More Than Just Looks Poly films have become a go-to choice for brands seeking packaging that performs as well as it looks. In both flexible formats like stick packs and full-coverage solutions like shrink sleeves, these materials deliver a balance of strength, adaptability, and visual impact. Unlike paper-based options, poly films hold up under the rigors of production, transport, and everyday use, helping products arrive in the customer’s hands looking just as intended. Their smooth, consistent surface makes them an excellent canvas for bold, detailed graphics, allowing brand colors and imagery to shine. Whether applied to a unique container shape or formed into a single-serve packet, poly films conform beautifully while maintaining their protective qualities. In addition to their design advantages, poly films can also serve as a protective barrier against environmental factors that can affect product quality. This makes them especially valuable for food, beverage, and health products that demand freshness and shelf stability. The result is packaging that doesn’t just look good, it actively works to preserve the product and support the brand’s reputation for quality. ![Columbine Label Sparkling CBD Ginger Ale](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sparkling-CBD-Ginger-ale.jpg) ### Exceptional Durability Poly films resist tearing, punctures, and moisture damage, ensuring your packaging maintains its integrity from production to consumer use, perfect for products facing shipping, handling, refrigeration, or outdoor exposure. ![Columbine Label Flexible Packaging](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Flexible-Packaging-3.jpg) ### Superior Print Quality With a smooth, uniform surface, poly films enable high-resolution printing and vibrant, edge-to-edge graphics. This ensures branding stands out on crowded shelves while preserving detail and color accuracy. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Shrink-Sleeve-rec-4-1024x796.jpg) ### Versatile Applications From shrink sleeves on uniquely shaped containers to single-use stick packs, poly films adapt to a wide range of product types, packaging formats, and production methods without compromising performance. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Flexible-Packaging-stick-packs-1-1024x796.jpg) ### Strong Barrier Protection Poly films can be engineered with barrier properties that protect against light, oxygen, and moisture, extending product shelf life and maintaining freshness, especially important for food, beverage, and nutraceutical items. ## Print Your Poly Film Packaging Today!

Characterized by their textured, uncoated feel and high-end visual appeal, these stocks create an immediate sense of craftsmanship, tradition, and authenticity. While they remain a go-to choice for wineries, their unique aesthetic has made them equally popular for other premium goods that benefit from a refined, artisanal presentation. Producers of craft spirits, ciders, and meads frequently turn to estate stocks to echo the prestige and quality long associated with fine wine. Beyond the beverage sector, high-end gourmet foods—such as olive oils, specialty sauces, chocolates, and baked goods—often feature estate stock labels to elevate shelf appeal and reinforce brand storytelling. Boutique health and beauty brands also embrace these materials when seeking a natural, sophisticated, or heritage-inspired look, whether for skincare, candles, or fragrance packaging. Because estate stocks suggest careful craftsmanship, they are favored by companies selling products with a strong brand narrative, premium positioning, or small-batch exclusivity. From farm-to-table producers and artisanal makers to established luxury brands, the choice of wine stock labels communicates more than just a name or logo, it sets the tone for the entire customer experience. Whether on a bottle, jar, or box, these materials deliver a distinctive look and feel that speaks to authenticity and quality before the product is even opened.

Instant Redeemable Coupons (IRCs), also known as coupon labels or peel-off coupons, are a powerful tool for doing just that. These on-pack promotions offer shoppers immediate value—such as a discount, rebate, or bundled offer—right at the point of sale, increasing both visibility and conversion in store. IRC labels are a proven way to drive trial, reward loyal customers, or move seasonal or overstocked inventory. By placing the coupon directly on the product packaging, you eliminate barriers to redemption and create an immediate incentive for purchase. Whether it’s a “Save $1 Now” message or a limited-time bundle offer, IRCs create urgency and engagement at the most critical point in the buyer journey. IRC labels are both functional and brand-forward. Our custom solutions are designed to meet your marketing goals while maintaining the integrity of your product’s packaging. Each label is engineered for easy peelability, tamper resistance, and compatibility with your production lines. We offer a wide range of materials, adhesives, and finishes to ensure your coupon labels perform in any environment—whether they’re being applied to a chilled beverage, a boxed beauty product, or a flexible snack pouch. Our team will guide you through the design, layout, and technical specifications to create a label that catches the consumer’s eye and delivers real results. Instant Redeemable Coupons are more than just discounts—they’re strategic tools that can elevate your brand, increase your sell-through rate, and build customer loyalty.

Show MoreShow Less ## Practical and Powerful: Features That Set Our IRC Labels Apart When considering Instant Redeemable Coupon (IRC) labels for your next marketing campaign, it’s important to look beyond just the promotion itself. The success of an IRC label depends not only on the message but also on the quality, performance, and execution of the label design and production. At Columbine Label, we understand the details that matter most to brand owners—and we’re here to make sure your labels work as hard as your campaign does. From first glance to final peel, every element of an IRC label needs to be thoughtfully engineered. Consumers expect an easy, frustration-free experience when interacting with peel-off coupons. That means labels must adhere securely, yet release cleanly, maintaining both packaging integrity and consumer satisfaction. Behind the scenes, your team needs a label that runs smoothly through your equipment and meets the demands of your production schedule without delays or complications. In addition, IRC labels must align with your brand’s visual identity. High-resolution printing, color accuracy, and proper alignment ensure your promotion feels cohesive with your overall packaging design. And because IRCs often live in fast-paced retail environments, they also need to grab attention quickly—making print quality and design flexibility more important than ever. With the right partner and attention to detail, IRC labels can deliver measurable sales lift while reinforcing your brand’s professionalism and reliability. Explore the key features that make the difference between a basic peel-off label and a high-performing on-pack promotion. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IRC-Labels-Adhesive-1.png) ### Peelability and Functionality IRC labels must be easy for consumers to peel without damaging the packaging or product. A clean lift ensures a positive user experience and encourages coupon redemption. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/image.jpg) ### Adhesive Performance The adhesive must hold securely until the point of use but release cleanly when peeled.

Typically housed in small glass or plastic dropper bottles, tinctures require labels that not only showcase branding but also provide critical product information in a limited space. The right label ensures a professional appearance, regulatory compliance, and long-term durability despite frequent handling. Glass tincture bottles are common in premium wellness and pharmaceutical products, while plastic alternatives offer lightweight and shatter-resistant benefits. Regardless of material, labels must be designed to adhere smoothly to the curved surface of the bottle, preventing peeling or wrinkling. Since many tinctures contain oils or alcohol-based solutions, labels should also resist smudging, moisture, and exposure to product residue. In highly regulated industries like CBD, supplements, and herbal medicine, tincture labels must include clear and legible details such as ingredients, dosage instructions, and legal disclaimers. High-quality printing ensures that small text remains sharp and readable. Additionally, label materials and adhesives should be chosen carefully to withstand temperature fluctuations, especially if products are stored in cool or humid environments. Below, we’ll explore the key factors in designing and applying labels for tincture bottles, helping your brand achieve a polished, durable, and compliant presentation. Show MoreShow Less ## Essential Features of *Tincture Labels* Labeling tincture bottles requires precision and durability to ensure a professional and long-lasting presentation. Whether packaged in glass or plastic, these small dropper bottles need labels that fit seamlessly without wrinkling or peeling. Custom die-cut shapes provide the best application, ensuring a smooth and polished appearance. Since tinctures often contain oils, alcohol, or other liquid extracts, label durability is a key factor. Waterproof, smudge-resistant materials prevent fading or distortion, keeping product details clear even with frequent handling. Additionally, strong adhesives are essential to ensure labels remain securely affixed to the bottle, even in oily or humid conditions. Beyond durability, high-quality printing is crucial for tincture labels, as they must display branding, dosage instructions, ingredient lists, and regulatory details in a small space. Crisp, legible text ensures compliance while maintaining an attractive shelf presence. By selecting the right combination of materials, adhesives, and printing techniques, brands can achieve premium-quality labels that enhance their tincture packaging. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tinctures_Variety-1024x768.jpeg) ### Custom-Fit Label Shapes Tincture bottles have small, curved surfaces, requiring precision-cut labels to prevent wrinkling or peeling. Proper sizing and shape ensure a smooth application and a polished, professional appearance. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Pet-Product-Labels-pet-calming-cbd-1024x1017.jpg) ### Adhesive Strength The right adhesive keeps labels firmly in place, even on glass or plastic bottles exposed to oils or moisture. High-tack adhesives prevent peeling, ensuring that labels remain securely attached over time. ![Columbine Label CBD Product Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CBD-Product-Labels-4.jpg) ### Durability & Oil Resistance Many tinctures contain oils or alcohol-based liquids that can smudge or degrade labels. Using waterproof and smudge-proof materials ensures that branding and critical product information remain intact and legible. ![Columbine Label Health and Wellness Labels Paper label Tincture](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Health-and-Wellness-Labels-Paper-Label-Tincture-1024x796.jpeg) ### Vibrant, High-Quality Printing Small tincture labels must display branding and regulatory information clearly.

We wouldn’t be an effective business if we focused solely on our product label printing services. As a business, we feel that it is our responsibility to help protect those who work for us while minimizing the impact we have on the environment. That’s why we’ve made it our policy to assure the health, safety, and environmental integrity of our production processes and work facility. We are always seeking opportunities to reduce risks to human health and the environment beyond standard compliance requirements. We strive to provide the highest quality products and services, but never at the cost of the safety of our employees and the public. Prevention of accidents and injuries takes precedence over experience. To us, safety trumps profits. **CIRCLE OF SAFETY AWARDS.** For four consecutive years, Columbine Label has been awarded a Circle of Safety award, and has been honored by Pinnacol Assurance for its outstanding performance in employee safety, loss control, and financial and claims management. In 2008, Pinnacol Assurance introduced the Circle of Safety award, as a way to recognize policyholders with role model safety programs. Because of the high standards imposed, less than one percent of Pinnacol policyholders earn this distinguished recognition. Two of the many award qualifications include holding a Colorado Cost Containment certification and having an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.85 or less in the current policy period. **LONG-TERM CULTURE OF SAFETY** It’s our belief that taking responsibility for the safety of our workers is not only the right thing to do, but by doing so we help inspire worker loyalty and encourage productivity. We see safety as a service to ourselves, our customers, and the environment. Eschewing protective measures for short-term profits incurs significant costs in the long term.

It acts as a base coat to enhance color vibrancy, create opacity on clear materials, and control the metallic effect on silver substrates—allowing for precise design contrasts and multi-dimensional effects. ## Building a *White Layer* Step by Step 1\. Open your art file in Illustrator. 2\. Create a new layer and name it “White”. 3\. Open the “Swatches” window and create a new Swatch. 4\. Name the new Swatch “White” and make sure it’s a spot color. 5\. Select all the art from the art layer, then go to “Edit” and choose “Copy”. 6\. Click on your white layer, go back to “Edit”, and choose “Paste in Place”. 7\. Apply the spot white color to the vector text. 8\. Go to the color window and adjust the tint to 0%. 9\. Go to the “Attributes” window and click on the “Overprint Fill” box. 10\. After all vector metallic objects are adjusted, select any images that need to be metallic and go to the “Links” window. Select your image and edit the original image in Photoshop. 11\. In Photoshop, select “Layer”, then “Flatten Image”. 12\. Click “Image”, choose “Mode”, and select “Grayscale”. 13\. Go to “Image”, choose “Adjustments”, and select “Invert”. 14\. Go to “Image”, “Adjustments”, and select “Levels”. Adjust the dark arrow to the right, to make sure all black is 100% black, and adjust the white arrow to the left, so that all white is 100% white. 15\. Click “File”, and choose “Save As”. Under format select “TIFF” and include “White” in the file name. 16\. Go back to Illustrator. Select the image on the white layer and relink the image. 17\. Select your new white image and click “Place”. 18\. While your white image is still selected, go to the “Swatches” window and click on the spot white color to apply to your image. 19\. Go to the “Attributes” window and check the “Overprint Fill” box. Make sure that all objects on your white layer are set to “Overprint Fill” or “Overprint Stroke”.

Name \* Email \* Phone \* Δ Please select your label shape. We can produce virtually any “special” shape, but for practical reasons, they are not all listed here. For any questions about special/custom shapes – not shown here, please reach out to our customer support team. Enter your finished label size. Maximum label size is 12.375”x24.5”. There is no “standard” label size, it all depends on your container and desired look. To get a quote enter the final/finished size of your label in inches. If you need assistance sizing your label, our customer support team can assist you in measuring. *Please note that the label preview is NOT to scale.* Also called SKUs or copies, number of versions refers to the number of individual label designs. Example: Lemon, orange, and lime = 3 versions. If all of the different versions are the same size, shape, and finish include them as one quote by adding each of the versions together. Example: 500 Lemon, 1000 Orange & 2000 Lime are all 4”x 5”. This quote would be for 3500 total labels, with 3 versions. If you need other “like” label groupings such as same flavor, but different size, those labels must be quoted separately. You will be asked to provide one artwork file per version, and each version is finished on its own roll. The total quantity of labels needed. For example, 3 versions, all the same size, shape and finish, lemon, orange, and lime and you want 500 of each flavor, the total quantity you should enter is 1500. If you need different quantities of each version, 250 lemon, 500 orange, and 750 lime this can be clarified with our customer support team when they reach out after you submit the quote. Please note that there is a minimum order of 250 labels per version and labels must be ordered in quantities that are multiples of 50. Unwind direction determines the direction your labels need to come off the roll when you are applying them to your products. This is CRITICAL for machine-applied applications. If you are hand applying, or the direction off the liner does not matter to you, just leave the default Right Off First option. If you need help determining which direction your labels need to be, please reach out to our customer support team.

We offer, or can get a wide range of label materials, but the online quoter has been limited to our most popular options. For Wine Stocks, special materials, alternate adhesives, and specialty processes, please reach out to our customer support team. If it’s not listed, ask our specialists. BOPP – One of the most popular materials used in labeling. A thin polypropylene film, offering low cost, oil and water resistance, and excellent print quality and durability. White BOPP Plastic – Paper Liner. White polypropylene film, that comes on a paper liner. White is a perfect blank canvas and the most popular choice of materials for eye-catching vibrant labels. Check out our White BOPP Labels Page for more info. Clear BOPP Plastic – Paper liner. Clear polypropylene film, that comes on a paper liner. Clear labels can provide that “no label look”, but keep in mind that colors will not be as opaque as Silver or White materials, and the color of your product or container can affect the print colors. Check out our Clear BOPP Labels Page for more. Silver BOPP Plastic – Paper Liner. Silver, also referred to as metallic or chrome polypropylene film, that comes on a paper liner. This product is perfect for brands looking for a metallic shine on their labels. Although referred to as silver this material can be flood-coated in any color and still provide a metallic shine. Also a very cost effective method to simulate Foil Stamping. Check out our Silver BOPP Labels Page for more. White Semi-Gloss – Paper Liner. White Semi-Gloss paper, that comes on a paper liner. This material is a good choice for you if your product is subject to very hot or very cold processes such as hot fill, or blast freezers. Can be gloss or matte laminated for the desired finish. White BOPP Plastic – PET Liner. White polypropylene film, that comes on a PET (clear plastic) liner. Due to its enhanced tensile strength a PET liner is probably the best choice for high-speed industrial applicators or if your labels are being applied by a specialist fulfillment company. Check out our White BOPP Labels Page for more info. Silver BOPP Plastic – PET Liner. Silver, also referred to as metallic or chrome polypropylene film, that comes on a PET (clear plastic) liner. This product is perfect for brands looking for a metallic shine on their labels. Although referred to as silver this material can be flood-coated in any color and still provide a metallic shine. Also a very cost effective method to simulate Foil Stamping. Due to its enhanced tensile strength, a PET liner is probably the best choice for high-speed industrial applicators or if your labels are being applied by a specialist fulfillment company. Check out our Silver BOPP Labels Page for more. Our online quoter has only two options (Gloss or Matte lamination) – which are by far the most popular. Lamination offers enhanced label durability and protect the inks underneath. If you want another type of finish such as a varnish, or something imprintable on a thermal transfer printer, we offer those options, but you will have to reach out to our customer support team to get started. What is a “Die Charge”? Well, all our labels are cut into the specific shape and size that you request – using metal plates called “dies”. We have thousands of such Dies in stock already, but if your Quote has specified a size/shape that we don’t already have a Die for, we’ll need to get one made – which comes at a standard $100 cost. Once we have the Die in stock, subsequent orders will not incur any Die charge. However, if you’d rather avoid that initial charge, feel free to choose a size/shape that’s close to what you entered – you may find one that suits your needs and for which we already have a Die in stock. If you need help finding a suitable size/shape, please contact our friendly Customer Service team at (303) 788 1504 and they can help guide you. ## Need Help? Speak With a Team Member Now!

Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern finish or a more traditional look, our extensive selection ensures that your labels perform well and look great on any shelf. Our most commonly used material is BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene), which comes in several finishes including white, silver/chrome, clear, and holographic. BOPP is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Whether you’re labeling food, beverages, or personal care products, BOPP provides a reliable, high-quality solution. The liner used in labels plays a crucial role in ensuring easy application. While we offer both PET and paper liners, the industry is trending toward PET due to its strength and ability to handle high-speed applications efficiently. PET liners offer superior performance, durability, and ease of use in fast-paced production environments. Our coatings, such as lamination and varnish, provide added protection and finish. These coatings are available in glossy, matte, and imprintable options, giving you the flexibility to choose the perfect aesthetic and functionality for your labels. Lamination offers additional durability, while varnish enhances the label’s look and feel. While BOPP and common coatings are our go-to materials, we are always open to special projects that require specific materials. If your product calls for a unique material, our team will research and source the ideal solution to meet your requirements. Whether you need a standard label or a specialized option, we’re here to help you find the best material for your product. Show MoreShow Less ## Label Material Types Choosing the right label material is essential for both functionality and branding. At Columbine Label, we offer a wide range of materials to suit various applications. Whether you need rugged durability or a high-end aesthetic, we have the right label materials to bring your brand to life. ![Columbine Label Non-Alcoholic Beverage](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Non-Alcoholic-Beverage-8.jpg) ### Oil & Water Resistant Label Materials For products exposed to moisture, oils, or harsh environments, oil and water-resistant label materials provide durability and long-lasting performance. Two of the most effective materials for these conditions are BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) and vinyl. BOPP labels are a top choice for industries like food, beverage, cosmetics, and personal care. Available in white, clear, silver/chrome, and holographic finishes, BOPP is naturally resistant to water, oil, and chemicals, ensuring labels stay intact and legible. This makes it perfect for products stored in refrigerators, bathrooms, or kitchens. Vinyl labels offer even greater durability, with excellent resistance to water, oils, and harsh outdoor conditions. They are flexible, making them ideal for curved surfaces and long-term use. Both materials work well with protective lamination or varnish coatings, adding an extra layer of defense against smudging, fading, or peeling. If you need labels built to withstand challenging conditions, BOPP and vinyl are the perfect solutions. ### Paper Label Materials For brands looking to achieve a classic, premium, or artisanal look, paper and wine stock label materials offer an elegant and customizable solution. These materials provide a natural texture and high-quality printability, making them ideal for wine, spirits, gourmet foods, and specialty products. Paper labels come in a variety of finishes, including uncoated, semi-gloss, and high-gloss, offering versatility for different branding needs. While not as moisture-resistant as film materials, paper labels can be paired with protective varnishes or laminates to improve durability. Wine stock labels are designed specifically for high-end bottles and premium packaging. Made from textured or specialty papers, they add a luxurious feel and enhance brand perception. Many wine stocks are moisture-resistant, preventing labels from peeling or wrinkling in chilled environments. Both paper and wine stock labels support rich color printing, embossing, and foil stamping, allowing brands to create standout, high-quality packaging with a timeless appeal. ![Laws Whiskey bottles with embossed custom labels in a cellar surrounded by wooden barrels.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Laws.png) ![Three cans of TommyKnocker craft beer in a ice cold stream.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Waterproof-Waterresistant-blogpic.jpg) ### Shrink Sleeve & Flexible Packaging Label Materials Shrink sleeve and flexible packaging labels offer dynamic, full-coverage branding solutions for products with unique shapes and flexible packaging formats. These materials are designed to provide high-quality graphics while maintaining durability and functionality. Shrink sleeve labels are made from heat-sensitive materials like PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which conform to the shape of a container when heat is applied. This allows for 360-degree branding, making them a popular choice for beverages, health and beauty products, and household goods. Shrink sleeves provide excellent moisture and abrasion resistance, ensuring long-lasting product appeal. Flexible packaging labels, such as stick packs and sauce packets, use materials like PET, BOPP, and polyethylene films. These materials offer strength, flexibility, and barrier protection against moisture, air, and contaminants. They are ideal for single-use products and food packaging, delivering both convenience and high-quality branding. Both options enhance shelf appeal while ensuring durability and product protection. ### Laminates & Varnishes To enhance durability and visual appeal, laminates and varnishes provide essential protection for product labels. These finishing options safeguard labels from moisture, abrasion, and fading while adding a polished look that complements your brand. Lamination is a thin film applied over the label, available in glossy, or matte finishes. Gloss lamination enhances colors and provides a high-shine effect, while matte lamination offers a smooth, muted appearance for a premium feel. Varnish is a liquid coating that protects without adding thickness. It comes in gloss, matte, or imprintable finishes, with the latter allowing for batch coding or overprinting. Spot varnishes can highlight specific design elements for added contrast. Both laminates and varnishes help labels withstand handling, moisture, and environmental exposure, ensuring your product maintains a professional and high-quality appearance from shelf to consumer use. ![](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Cosmetic-Labels-1024x683.jpg) ## Use Columbine Label Company for \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ [![Assorted products arranged for a photo including honey, bread mix, and hot sauce.](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1204_1765_popup.jpg)](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-food-labels/) #### [Labels](https://columbinelabel.com/product-labels/) Our custom product labels combine durability and design to enhance your brand.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact by incorporating lean manufacturing processes and cutting-edge technology that help reduce our carbon footprint. From materials to waste, we continuously seek ways to enhance our sustainability efforts, ensuring that our operations align with eco-friendly principles while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Our Digital Advantage label converting process is one of the ways we lead the charge in environmental stewardship.

We also prioritize sourcing materials certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and use recycled content wherever possible. Additionally, we offer removable adhesives that are water-soluble at 100°F or higher, further reducing environmental impact. Our flexographic label converting processes utilize water-based inks and paper liners to minimize volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and reduce waste. In line with our sustainability goals, we collaborate with TLMI (Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute) to continuously improve our efforts and help other manufacturers reduce their environmental footprints.

From the ambiance of your café to the aroma in the air, every detail plays a role in shaping their experience. But perhaps the most important factor is your coffee bag label—it’s the first touchpoint for consumers and directly impacts their purchasing decision. At Columbine Label, we specialize in creating coffee labels that not only capture attention but stand the test of time. Our Denver-based team uses vibrant, fade-resistant, and moisture-resistant materials to ensure that your coffee bag labels maintain their sharp, eye-catching design throughout their entire lifespan. Whether displayed in a café or shipped directly to customers, our labels are built to handle the demands of the retail environment. They are durable enough to withstand exposure to heat, humidity, and rough handling during transport while still looking pristine on your customer’s pantry shelf. But it’s not just about durability—design plays a crucial role in building a strong connection with your audience. A beautifully crafted coffee label reflects your commitment to quality and craftsmanship. A subpar label that fades, peels, or cracks sends the wrong message about your brand. We use only premium materials to ensure your coffee labels retain their vibrant colors, from the moment they’re printed to the moment they reach your customers’ hands. A high-quality coffee bag label can make a significant impact on your brand’s image, helping to reinforce the quality and care you put into every cup. With Columbine Label, your coffee will leave a lasting impression that customers will remember.

These customizable pouches offer an ideal canvas for showcasing your brand while ensuring durability and quality.

This process uses a heated flat die to press or stamp the graphic into the substrate – hence the name Hot Stamp. Hot stamps come in any color foil you can imagine! [![Leopold Bros bottle whiskey](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-50-300x300.png)](https://columbinelabel.com/custom-beverage-labels/) ## [**Embossing**](https://columbinelabel.com/embossed-labels/) Embossed labels have a raised design or text element that is created by stamping the label with a flatbed die. Embossing adds a texture element to labels. This can be done with foil or ink behind the embossed area or simply on the raw material – referred to as a blind emboss. [![Flexible packaging stick pack specialty printing](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-54-300x300.png)](https://columbinelabel.com/flexible-packaging/) ## [**Flexible Packaging**](https://columbinelabel.com/flexible-packaging/) We provide flexible packaging options for products such as stick packs, small pouches, or heat-sealed lids. This packaging type is lightweight and adaptable to your product. Often self-contained and convenient for customers to take on the go! ![Extended Text specialty printing](https://columbinelabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-52-300x300.png) ## [**Extended Text**](https://columbinelabel.com/extended-text-labels/) When you have a lot of information and not a lot of space, extended text labels might be right for your product. Products such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, or other health or beauty supplies often use this technology to get the most out of a small label size. ![Leopold Bros American Whiskey vintage label made by
