Food Labels Shop by Packaging Surface

Different packaging materials require different label constructions. Matching the right facestock and adhesive helps ensure reliable adhesion, clear printing, and long-lasting performance. 

  • Plastic Containers

    Smooth plastic surfaces pair with durable PP labels for excellent adhesion and moisture resistance. 

  • Glass Bottles

    Paper or PP labels with crisp printing can support premium shelf presentation, especially clear PP, which provides a no-label look.

  • Metal Cans

    PET labels resist moisture, abrasion, and temperature changes while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. 

  • Vacuum Bags

    Flexible synthetic labels conform securely to vacuum packaging without lifting or wrinkling.

  • Frozen Bags

    Freezer-grade adhesive keeps synthetic labels firmly attached through freezing, condensation, and cold-chain handling.

  • Paper Boxes

    Paper labels bond naturally to paperboard packaging with sharp print quality and cost-effective performance.

Test Your Food Labels Before You Commit to Production

You don’t have to guess how a label will perform on your packaging. We can provide samples for you to test print quality, adhesion, and application performance before moving into bulk production.

With standard materials available from stock and customized options for specific requirements, you can move from testing to purchasing with fewer delays and less risk.

Get a Label Material Built for Your Frozen Products

Frozen food puts much more pressure on a label than ordinary packaging. You may need the label to handle condensation, low temperatures, moisture or difficult packaging surfaces.

We can test and adjust the face material and adhesive around your actual application, including freezer-grade solutions, so you get a label that stays where you need it throughout storage and handling.

Better Value for Your Everyday Food Labels

For high-volume standard food labels, proven material constructions and efficient in-house converting help you reduce sourcing costs without compromising the consistency your daily production depends on.

You may need different materials depending on your market, packaging and labeling process. We offer paper, thermal, PP, PET, PE and other label materials, giving you more room to match performance with your application. When specific food-contact or market requirements apply, we can help you select suitable materials and provide the relevant material documentation for your evaluation.

If you are buying large volumes of standard food labels, you shouldn’t have to pay custom-product prices. Our established materials, in-house printing and converting capabilities allow you to source common label constructions more efficiently. From blank thermal labels to printed paper, PP and PET labels, you can get the everyday products you need with consistent quality and competitive pricing.

How do you choose the right food labels for your packaging?

Start with five things: your packaging surface, storage temperature, moisture or grease exposure, printing method, and labeling process. Paper food labels work well for many dry applications, while synthetic PP and PET labels are better suited to demanding environments. You should also match the adhesive to the surface and temperature conditions. For frozen food labels, for example, a freezer-grade adhesive may be needed to maintain adhesion during cold storage and handling.

Paper vs. synthetic food labels: which is better?

Neither is better for every application. Paper food labels are often a cost-effective choice for dry packaging and general product labeling, while synthetic PP or PET food labels offer better resistance to water, tearing and handling. If your packaging may encounter condensation, oil or frequent handling, synthetic materials are usually worth considering. The right choice depends on your packaging surface, storage conditions, printing method and required label life.

Direct thermal vs. thermal transfer food labels: which should you choose?

Direct thermal food labels do not require a ribbon, making them convenient for variable information such as dates, weights and barcodes. Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon and offers more durable printed information on suitable materials. For short-term food date labels, direct thermal can be a practical option. For longer-lasting food packaging labels, synthetic materials with thermal transfer printing may provide better resistance to abrasion, moisture and handling.

What are the best labels for frozen food packaging?

For frozen food labels, you need to consider more than the face material. Low temperatures, condensation, moisture and difficult packaging surfaces can all affect adhesion. A freezer-grade label construction typically combines a suitable synthetic or thermal face material with an adhesive designed for cold applications. Before ordering in bulk, test the label on your actual frozen food packaging to confirm adhesion, print quality and performance through storage and handling.

What should you check when choosing waterproof food labels?

Look beyond the word “waterproof.” Check the face material, adhesive, printing method and actual exposure conditions. PP and PET synthetic labels can provide strong resistance to water and tearing, while the adhesive must also maintain its bond when the surface is wet or exposed to condensation. If your food packaging encounters oil, refrigeration or repeated handling, you should test the complete waterproof food label construction rather than evaluating the material alone.

What information should you consider when ordering custom food labels?

Before ordering custom food labels, prepare the information your production and packaging process requires, such as product identification, ingredients, nutrition information, dates, barcodes, QR codes or traceability data. Then confirm label size, material, adhesive, printing method, roll direction and packaging format. For variable information, make sure your chosen food labels are compatible with your printing system and provide sufficient print contrast for reliable barcode scanning.

How do you match food labels with automatic labeling equipment?

Start with the label dimensions and shape, then confirm roll width, core size, winding direction, gap and release performance. Your adhesive should also provide enough tack without causing bleeding or feeding problems during high-speed application. For automatic labeling lines, consistent die-cutting and winding are just as important as the label material itself. Testing food labels on your actual labeling equipment can help identify feeding, peeling or positioning problems before mass production.

What should you test before placing a bulk food label order?

A practical food label test should cover four areas: printing, adhesion, environmental resistance and machine performance. Apply the sample to your actual packaging, then test it under the temperatures, moisture, grease and handling conditions it will encounter. Check barcode readability, label lifting, curling and print durability. For frozen food labels or other demanding applications, application testing before bulk production can reduce the risk of choosing the wrong material or adhesive.
