Full Color Labels - Design
Full color labels provide you with design possibilities that include high end graphics, photos and an infinite use of color. Design full color labels with these key elements in-mind: use CMYK color schemes (rather than spot or PMS colors), follow good design practices when using font styles, sizes and colors, consider the impact of laminates on your design, design both sides of your label if applied to transparent surfaces, and be sure to fit the label to the application size.
When determining full color labels size, planning your design to fit a pre-sized label shape and size will reduce cost and turnaround time when you order. We suggest that you download templates from your supplier so that you can be certain your design is based on manufacturing specifications. My1Stop® offers over 40 standard full color labels sizes.
My1Stop® is unique in that we can print both sides of your full color labels. This is a very useful capability for labels used on see-through bottles as an example. When designing for the back of your label, be sure to label your artwork as "back of label".

Full Color Labels - Shapes and Sizes
Choosing from 1 of our 40 standard label sizes will save you time and money. A link to a list of our standard sizes is provided below. If a standard size will not meet your needs, consider a non-standard or custom die. Custom printing dies for full color labels can be made for you in almost any size and shape. Bear in mind, custom dies add to your overall price and they extend delivery times.
The size of your full color labels can be determined by these factors:
- What are the largest dimensions in height and width of the area where the label will be applied?
- Which standard size label best fits your label dimensions requirements?
As you can see, label size and label design must work well together to fit your application as well as a standard size. As suggested previously, decide your label size before starting your label design. Base your size decision on the smallest area available for your application. The 40 plus standard full color labels sizes we offer are based on popularity of many years for many different applications. A link to our standard full color labels printing sizes follows:

In addition to providing protection, laminates can also provide your labels with a sheen or glossy look.
Laminates are not always required for full color labels printing. Labels that will not be subjected to extreme abrasion, heat cold or moisture should hold up well without laminate.
