Paper labels for dry goods and everyday packaging

Paper labels suit products and projects where the label stays dry and the look is simple. Think spice jars, tea tins, gift wrap, stationery sets, bakery bags and file folders. This category covers rectangular, square, round and die cut paper labels printed from your artwork.

Good uses for paper labels

  • Pantry and dry goods such as flour, spices, coffee beans and loose tea.
  • Gift and craft packaging for markets, hampers and handmade goods.
  • Labels you add to by hand, with space left for dates, flavours or names.
  • Office and school organising on folders, drawers and storage tubs.

When to look at another label type

Paper is not always the right answer. Products that go in the fridge, get wiped down or come into contact with oils may need a different material. In those cases, compare vinyl labels or waterproof labels. If you are unsure, describe the product and where it is kept, and we can point you to a suitable material in your quote.

Designing for paper

Paper labels tend to suit clean typography and a limited palette. If you want to write on them, leave a clear panel free of ink. Our free design support can help lay out a range so each variety has its own name while keeping the same branding. Die cut shapes carry no die or plate charges, so a label can follow the outline of a logo or illustration.

Questions

Paper Labels FAQs

When is a paper label a better choice than a vinyl label?

Paper labels are a natural fit for dry, indoor uses such as spice jars, gift wrap, stationery, dry goods packaging and folders. If the label will get wet, be handled with oily hands or sit in a fridge, look at vinyl labels or waterproof labels instead. Describe the conditions in your quote request and we will guide you.

Can I write on paper labels after they are printed?

If you want to add dates, batch numbers or names by hand, tell us in your quote request and mention the pen you plan to use. Leave a blank panel in your artwork for the handwriting. We will recommend a paper to suit, and you can check the space in the PDF proof.

What products look good with paper labels?

Handmade soap wrapped in card, loose-leaf tea, baked goods in bags, honey for gifting and jars of dry pantry goods all suit the tactile feel of paper. Keep in mind how the product is stored, since moisture and oils can mark paper. We will suggest a suitable stock when we send your quotation.
