Single- & multi-column roll styles

You can choose from 2 roll styles: single- or multi-column. Single-column rolls have one column of stickers and work with both automatic and manual applicators. Roll size is based on your label size, so depending on how many you order, your stickers may arrive on multiple rolls. Multi-column rolls have multiple columns per roll and are compatible with manual applicators. They’re always delivered on one 12.5-inch roll, so everything arrives on a single roll. The number of columns depends on the size and shape of your stickers.

Frequently asked questions

Single-column rolls have one column of stickers and work with both automatic and manual applicators. Because roll size is based on your sticker size, your order may arrive on multiple rolls. Multi-column rolls have multiple columns and are designed for manual applicators. They’re always delivered on one 12.5-inch roll, so your order will arrive on a single roll. The number of columns varies based on your sticker size and shape.

Our food packaging labels are durable and designed to last for different food and beverage uses:

Paper labels are great for dry goods and indoor use – things like non-perishables, to-go boxes and more. Our anti-scratch varnish helps protect against short-term sun exposure and wear and tear for dry goods.

Meanwhile, our plastic materials (BOPP) and laminate finishes (matte, glossy and soft touch) will give you the most long-term protection, even with exposure to moisture or oils. These are your best options for frozen foods, oily sauces, chilled beverages and so on.

We offer multiple material options to help you find the right food labels, including 3 paper and 5 plastic materials. Our paper labels work great for dry-store food and drink products, while plastic is a practical option for refrigerated products, outdoor use, or anything that comes into contact with oil or water. You can also add a durable laminate or anti-scratch varnish to your food packaging labels.

For a description and use cases for each roll label material, head over to our Product Options section for more details.

Yes, you can. If you want to write on your food packaging labels, we recommend you pick our uncoated paper option with no finish – it’s the easiest to write on. Matte and soft-touch finishes also work with most pens. We recommend using a permanent marker for our plastic or glossy labels.

No, we do not.

The ink used for our packaging labels is safe for indirect food contact. So as long as you place a barrier (like glass, paper or plastic) between the food and the ink, it will be safe.

That depends on the material you choose. All of our plastic (BOPP) labels are waterproof. Our betulla-laid paper is water- and moisture-resistant. Our white paper and uncoated paper food labels are not waterproof. You can add a laminate finish (matte, glossy or soft touch) for resistance to water, oil and moisture.

Our standard turnaround time for packaging labels is 7 business days. We do offer expedited shipping options if you need your labels sooner. Use our shipping calculator at the top of this page or at checkout for an accurate estimate based on your area.

Yes, you can print your labels to unwind in a specific direction. For more details, see our Options section. Once you’re happy with your label design, simply select the unwind direction option before checkout.
