Custom product labels are self-adhesive labels designed to a brand's specific size, shape, material and finish requirements, rather than relying on generic, off-the-shelf stock.
Getting a custom label right means matching substrate, adhesive, shape and finish to how and where the product will actually be used.
Before choosing colours or fonts, work out the practical demands on the label. Will it face moisture, refrigeration, chemicals, sunlight or rough handling during transport and storage?
Products exposed to water or oils typically need a waterproof polypropylene substrate, while dry, indoor goods can often use a more cost-effective paper based label instead.
This practical assessment should happen before design work starts, since substrate choice can affect how colours print and how fine detail holds up over time.
Depending on the product category, labels may also need to display regulatory information, batch codes, allergen statements or barcodes, alongside the core branding and design elements.
Short runs, new launches and multi-SKU ranges are produced on Onpack's HP Indigo and L350 digital presses — accurate colour, opaque white and variable data across every common label substrate from 100 labels, with no plate costs and fast turnaround.
High-volume product label reorders run on our UV flexo press, with up to 10 colour stations, true Pantone spot matching and optional extended colour gamut — delivering the colour accuracy and unit economics that production-scale brands require. Cold foil, lamination and spot UV varnish run in-line on flexo; hot foil stamping, embossing and high-build tactile varnish are produced on our digital ABG embellishment line.
Every product label job runs through Onpack's ISO9001 certified processes, with 100% vision camera quality control — so colour, adhesion and finish stay consistent across every label in the run regardless of volume.
A press proof or physical sample is available before your full run, so you can confirm substrate feel, finish performance and colour accuracy against your brand reference before committing to production.
Yes. Request a free sample pack and Onpack will send physical label samples across a range of substrates and finishes — so you can assess material feel, print quality and finish performance on your actual product before specifying.
