Custom Labels and Stickers for Products and Packaging

Choose the label format and material that best matches the application surface, design and handling requirements.

- Poly roll labels
- Square-cut labels and stickers
How to Choose Custom Labels and Stickers
The right label depends on how it will be applied, the surface it will adhere to and the conditions it will encounter. Start by choosing between labels supplied on a roll and individually cut stickers, then compare the available materials, sizes, shapes and finishes.
| Label Format | Best For | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Roll Labels and Stickers | Product packaging, bottles, jars, boxes, bags and repeated labelling | Labels remain organized on a continuous roll for convenient storage and application |
| Square-Cut Labels and Stickers | Promotions, shipping materials, packages, handouts and small-quantity applications | Supplied as individual pieces for easy distribution and manual application |
Roll Labels vs. Individually Cut Stickers
When to Choose Roll Labels
Roll labels are a practical choice when many products or packages need to be labelled repeatedly. Keeping the labels together on a roll can make them easier to store, organize and apply during packaging or fulfilment.
ReimerPrint offers roll-label options in BOPP, matte paper and white polyester. Available shapes, sizes, finishes and quantities vary by product, so review the individual specifications before ordering.
When to Choose Square-Cut Labels
Square-cut labels are supplied as separate pieces instead of on a roll. They work well for hand application, promotional stickers, package inserts, event distribution and situations where individual labels must be handed out or included with another product.
Compare Label Materials
| Material | Common Applications | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| BOPP Roll Labels | Bottles, jars, containers and branded product packaging | A film-based option for packaging that may experience more handling than a standard paper label |
| Matte Paper Roll Labels | Boxes, bags, dry goods, retail products and general packaging | Provides a paper appearance with a non-glossy finish |
| White Polyester Roll Labels | Product identification, durable packaging and frequently handled items | A film-based alternative when greater durability is preferred |
| Slit-Back Label Stickers | Promotions, packages, folders, boxes and individual distribution | The slit backing helps individual labels separate from their release liner |
What to Consider Before Ordering Labels
Application Surface
Consider whether the label will be applied to glass, plastic, paper, cardboard or another surface. The surface should be clean and suitable for the selected adhesive. Textured, curved or irregular containers may require additional testing before a full order is placed.
Product and Storage Conditions
Think about how the labelled item will be stored, transported and handled. A label used on dry retail packaging may have different requirements from one placed on a frequently handled bottle or container.
Label Size and Shape
Measure the application area rather than relying only on the overall dimensions of the package. On curved containers, check that the label size can sit smoothly without extending into sharply tapered areas, seams or edges.
Design and Brand Consistency
Use consistent colours, typography and logo placement across related products. Leave enough contrast around ingredients, instructions, barcodes and other important information so the label remains easy to read at its final size.
Preparing Print-Ready Label Artwork
- Create the artwork using the correct dimensions or the downloadable product template.
- Extend background colours and images through the required bleed area.
- Keep logos, text and other essential elements inside the safe area.
- Use high-resolution graphics suitable for the final printed size.
- Check small text carefully at actual size before submitting the file.
- Leave a clear, quiet area around barcodes and confirm they scan before production.
- Review the selected product’s current file, size and finishing requirements before uploading the artwork.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Labels
Should I order roll labels or individually cut stickers?
Choose roll labels for repeated product or package labelling where keeping labels organized is important. Choose square-cut stickers when the pieces will be applied individually, distributed at events or included with other materials.
Which label material should I choose?
The best choice depends on the application surface, desired appearance, storage environment and amount of handling. Matte paper provides a traditional paper finish, while BOPP and polyester are film-based alternatives. Confirm the current specifications on the product page.
Can custom labels be used on bottles and jars?
Yes. Roll labels can be used on many bottles, jars and product containers. Measure the usable application area and consider the container’s curve, material and storage conditions when selecting a label.
Can I print barcodes on my labels?
Barcodes can be incorporated into label artwork, but they should be created at an appropriate size with sufficient contrast and clear space. Test the barcode at its final printed dimensions before submitting the artwork.
Can I order custom labels for delivery across Canada?
Yes. ReimerPrint offers online ordering for roll labels and individually cut stickers with delivery across Canada. Available materials, shapes, sizes, finishes and quantities vary by product.
