Custom Stickers and Labels for Products & Packaging

The best material depends on the surface, environment and expected lifespan. Paper can suit many dry indoor packaging applications, while suitable synthetic materials may be preferable where labels face moisture, friction or longer-term use. The adhesive and finish should also be specified around the application rather than choosing the face material alone.

They can be produced for moisture-resistant applications, but waterproof performance depends on the complete specification, including the face material, adhesive, printing and protective finish. A standard paper label should not automatically be treated as waterproof. Tell the supplier if the label will be exposed to water, condensation, refrigeration or frequent handling so the appropriate specification can be considered.

Custom labels and stickers can be produced in standard shapes such as round, square, rectangular and oval, as well as custom die-cut shapes. Size should be based on the available application area, artwork, required information and the shape of the bottle, jar, box or another surface. Healey's current label quotation options include square, rectangular, round, oval, die-cut and kiss-cut formats.

The adhesive should match both the application surface and the conditions the label will experience. Consider whether the surface is glass, plastic, paperboard or another material, and whether it may encounter moisture, cold temperatures, friction or repeated handling. Permanent adhesive is commonly used for product and packaging labels, while removable adhesive can be more appropriate where clean removal is required.

Yes, labels can be supplied in formats suited to the intended application method. Roll labels can be useful for repeat product labelling and higher-volume packing operations, while sheets or individually cut stickers can suit manual application, promotional use and smaller batches. The right format depends on quantity and whether labels will be applied manually or by labelling equipment.

Yes. Custom labels can incorporate logos, brand colours, product names, instructions, barcodes and other required artwork. Healey Packaging offers CMYK printing for full-colour artwork and Pantone colour options where particular brand shades need greater colour control.

Healey Packaging currently lists a minimum order quantity from 100 units per design for its custom stickers and labels range. The practical order quantity may depend on the label size, material, print specification and format required.

Healey Packaging currently states a standard turnaround of 7–10 working days after artwork approval for this range. Production timing can depend on the material, quantity, printing method, finishing requirements and final approved specification.
