Custom Label Printing for Bottles, Jars and Cartons

Custom label printing turns your artwork into labels, stickers and tags cut to a shape you specify. Half Price Packaging prints them to order for UK brands, alongside the boxes and bags they usually sit on. You choose the shape, the size, the print coverage and the finish, and the job is quoted against that specification. Roll labels, waterproof labels, stickers, tags and table tents are all part of the range. Free design support is available if the cutter guide does not exist yet, and a digital proof is approved before production starts, which is where wording and colour references get their final check.

Label formats you can specify

• Roll labels for applying by hand or feeding through an applicator.
• Waterproof labels for containers handled in damp conditions or wiped down between uses.
• Stickers for sealing cartons, mailers and tissue wrap.
• Tags for garments, gifting and market stalls.
• Table tents for counters, hospitality spaces and events.

Sizing a label to the pack it lives on

A label is measured against the surface it wraps, not against the artboard it was drawn on. A cylindrical bottle needs a wrap width that leaves a clean gap at the seam. A squeezable tube distorts under pressure, so type placed near the edge moves. A flat carton panel takes a larger label than the same product in a pouch, where the seal area is unusable. Send the container dimensions with the label size you want and the cutter guide can be checked against both.

Artwork, cutter guides and proofs

Free design support covers the cutter guide if you do not have one. Print is full colour, and you should flag any element that has to hold an exact brand colour so it gets checked at proof stage rather than after the run. Finishes such as matt or gloss lamination and foiling are quoted per job. A digital proof is approved before production starts, and that proof is the moment to read every word on the label out loud rather than skim it.

Keeping labels consistent with the packaging

Labels rarely travel alone. If the label sits on a jar inside a printed carton, ordering both against the same artwork means one colour reference instead of two that nearly agree. The labels, stickers and tags range sits alongside beauty and cosmetics packaging, bakery, food and beverage packaging and marketing material, so a brand refresh can cover the pack, the label and the insert in a single brief.

Sectors ordering custom labels

Skincare and cosmetics brands labelling bottles, jars and tubes. Bakery, drinks and larder producers labelling jars, pouches and boxes. Supplement and wellness labels. Ecommerce sellers sealing mailers with branded stickers. Read those as questions of fit rather than as approvals: any statutory labelling wording your sector requires is yours to specify and check on the proof. Costs, delivery and turnaround are confirmed on your quote.
