Custom Packaging Labels - Design
Your options are wide open when designing full color custom packaging label design. Full color, CMYK label printing allows you to create stunning packaging label designs that include high resolution color photos and complex color graphics. Create your design based on popular and functional die-cut, pre-sized label shapes and sizes that fit almost any packaging application. If a standard size won't work with your design needs, My1Stop® specializes in making special dies specific to your design requirements. Great packaging label design includes these design considerations: selecting a standard packaging label size that fits your design requirements and incorporating full color graphics to support brand requirements and give your packaging the most eye catching look possible.
You can save time and money if you begin the design process by choosing to work with a standard label size. You will establish your design parameters early on based on a label size that will benefit you with the most competitive cost pricing and the fastest turnaround when ordering. We also suggest that you prepare your graphics to make the most of full color packaging label printing. To do so, be sure your line art graphics are vector based and that your photos are high resolution and scaled at the size you intend to print. Note, too, that labels being applied to see-through packaging can be printed on both sides of the packaging label. Once you know your packaging label size and have your graphics ready, you're ready to let the creative juices flow.

Custom Packaging Labels - Shapes and Sizes
With more than 40 packaging label sizes, My1Stop® has a standard size and shape for almost any packaging application. To determine the best size for your project, use the guideline provided below.
- Measure the area that your packaging label must cover.
- Find a standard label size that is closest to, but smaller than, the area to be covered.
Using the sizing guidelines above, you should be able to begin your actual design work on the exact label size and shape you will use for printing. By choosing a standard size, you will be able to manage printing costs and turnaround time to your benefit. You can opt for a non-standard packaging label size. We strongly suggest that you do this only if a suitable standard size can't be found. A non standard label printing die will increase your order price and your order turnaround time.

Custom Packaging Labels Printing - Materials
We offer white pressure sensitive label stock as our standard material for full color packaging label printing. The guide below can help you determine the best material for most custom Packaging label projects:
Custom Packaging Label Material Considerations
- For Extreme Heat or Cold Applications, Consider Permanent Adhesive with Laminate
- For Long Term UV or Direct Sunshine Exposure, Consider Paper Material with UV Varnish
- For Labels That Will Be Re-Positioned or Re-Applied, Consider Removable Adhesive
- For Labels That Will Be Applied To Plastics, Consider Permanent Adhesive
We suggest adding a laminate or UV varnish to protect your packaging labels from abrasion, damaging heat, cold, and UV light sources. Laminates and varnishes can add a gloss sheen to your labels. Ask customer service for samples if you are curious about laminating your labels. Laminates are not required.
Custom packaging label materials are available. Please contact customer service with any material questions that you might have.
