Custom Labels Printed to Your Specification

Custom printed labels manufactured in the UK for products, packaging and specialist applications, available in bespoke sizes, materials, adhesives and finishes.

Your Brand. Your Label. Your Way.

Custom Labels for Products, Packaging and Specialist Applications

At Labels Plus, we manufacture custom printed labels for businesses across the UK, from independent brands ordering shorter runs to manufacturers requiring ongoing production.

Your labels can be produced around the practical requirements of the job, including size, shape, material, adhesive, finish, print method and the way they will be applied or overprinted.

That might mean a premium label for retail packaging, a durable film for a demanding environment, a barcode label for traceability or a specialist adhesive for a difficult surface. If you are unsure which construction is right, our team can help you narrow down the options before production.

Embellished Labels

Embellished labels are designed to impress through tactile and visual detail. Options include embossing, debossing, foil stamping, spot UV and textured varnishes – each adding depth, distinction and a premium feel that standard printed labels simply can’t replicate.

They work particularly well for brands where the unboxing experience matters – cosmetics, candles, artisan food, spirits and luxury goods. We produce embellished labels on a range of materials including textured papers, metallic stocks and high-gloss finishes, all fully customised to your brief and brand identity.

If presentation is an important part of your packaging, we can help you compare embellishment options and choose a finish suited to your material, design and budget.

Foiled Labels

Foiled labels use hot or cold foil stamping to add gold, silver, copper, rose gold or custom metallic shades to your design. The result is a label that catches the light and communicates quality before the customer has even read a word.

They’re particularly popular for wine, spirits, cosmetics, candles and premium artisan products – anywhere shelf presence and perceived value matter. Foil can be applied to a range of compatible papers and films, including textured and premium stocks, depending on the finish and construction required.

Digitally Printed Labels

Digital printing is well suited to short and medium runs, multiple SKUs and applications where artwork or data changes within the same order. It is particularly useful for product launches, seasonal ranges and businesses managing several variants without requiring a separate conventional print setup for each design.

Variable data options can include batch information, sequential numbering, barcodes and other changing content where required. Depending on the construction, digitally printed labels can also be combined with finishes such as foil or varnish.

Hi & Low Temperature Labels

Some applications require materials and adhesives selected specifically for heat, refrigeration, freezing or changing temperatures.

We can specify label constructions for environments such as chilled and frozen food storage, manufacturing, laboratory use and other specialist applications. The right option depends on factors including the surface, application temperature, service temperature, exposure time and whether moisture or chemicals are involved.

Tell us the conditions the label needs to work in and we can recommend a suitable material and adhesive combination.

Piggyback Labels

Piggyback labels feature a dual-layer construction – one label bonded on top of another – where part of the label can be peeled and reapplied elsewhere. It’s a practical solution for applications that require tracking, returns, promotions or layered information on a single label.

Common uses include logistics and returns labels, pharmaceutical tracking, retail promotions and direct mail. They’re fully customisable in shape, size and material, with options for variable data, barcoding and sequential numbering. Both layers can be printed to suit the identification, tracking or branding requirements of the application.

Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable Labels

We offer a range of label materials for customers looking to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging, including selected recyclable, biodegradable and compostable options.

Suitability depends on the complete label construction, including the face material, adhesive, liner and the way the finished packaging will be disposed of. We can help you compare the available options for your application.

Who We Work With

Custom Labels for Different Industries

We manufacture custom labels for businesses across a wide range of sectors. The right construction can vary considerably between applications, so material, adhesive, print method and finish are selected around how the label will actually be used.

Food & Drink

Labels for bottles, jars, tubs, boxes and other food and drink packaging, with options for chilled, frozen, ambient and moisture-prone environments. Where a particular packaging or regulatory requirement applies, tell us at quotation stage so the appropriate construction can be discussed.

Cosmetics & Beauty

Custom labels for skincare, haircare, fragrance and wellness products, with options including clear films, premium papers, metallic effects and specialist finishes. We can also help with material selection for containers exposed to moisture, oils or regular handling.

Healthcare & Medical

Custom labels for healthcare, laboratory, pharmaceutical and medical-related applications. Materials and adhesives can be selected around factors such as container type, temperature, moisture, chemical exposure and identification requirements.

Retail & E-Commerce

Product, branding, packaging and fulfilment labels for retailers and online sellers. Shorter production runs can be useful for seasonal ranges, limited editions, product launches and businesses managing multiple SKUs.

Manufacturing & Logistics

Barcode, identification, asset and tracking labels for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics. We can supply materials suited to routine handling as well as more demanding environments, with variable-data and barcode printing available where required.

Candles & Home Fragrance

Custom labels for candle jars, boxes, lids, diffusers and other home-fragrance packaging. Premium papers, films and decorative finishes are available, with material selection based on the container, surface and conditions the label will encounter.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Custom Labels

1. Can you produce custom labels in small quantities?

Yes – we cater for short run orders as well as large volume production. Short runs are ideal for new product launches, limited edition lines, seasonal ranges or businesses just starting out who want professional labels without committing to large minimum quantities. Get in touch with your requirements and we’ll provide a tailored quote.

2. What materials are available for custom labels?

We offer a wide range of paper and film materials for different products and environments. Paper stocks are commonly used for dry indoor applications, while film materials can provide greater resistance to moisture and handling. Specialist options including kraft papers, metallic stocks and clear films are also available. We can help you choose a material based on the surface, environment and finish required.

3. What is the minimum order quantity for custom labels?

We do not apply one fixed minimum quantity across every custom label job. The most suitable quantity depends on the material, size, print process and finishing required. Tell us roughly how many labels you need and we can advise on the most practical option.

4. How long does it take to produce custom labels?

Turnaround times vary depending on the specification and quantity required. We aim to turn around standard orders quickly and can accommodate urgent requirements where possible. Contact us with your deadline and we’ll let you know exactly what we can do.

5. Can I order samples before placing a full order?

Yes – we can produce sample labels so you can check the material, finish and print quality before committing to a full run. This is particularly useful if you’re trying a new material or finish for the first time. Request a free sample pack or contact our team directly to arrange this.
