Description

Custom food labels for jars, tubs and packaging

Brand and inform with custom food labels printed in the UK on durable waterproof vinyl. Fridge, freezer and grease resistant with full-colour print and optional white ink - ideal for jars, tubs, bottles and food packaging.

From artisan preserves to street food and meal prep, our food labels stay put and keep their colour through fridge, freezer and steam. The waterproof vinyl outperforms paper stickers that wrinkle and lift when packaging gets cold or damp.

We cut every label to your exact size and shape, add clear ingredient and allergen information, and match your branding. Add best-before dates and batch codes, design online or upload artwork, and we dispatch as soon as you approve your proof.

Fridge & freezer proof

Waterproof vinyl survives chilling, freezing, steam and grease without lifting.

Allergen ready

Add clear ingredient, allergen and best-before text in the designer.

Optional white ink

Keep colours bright on dark tubs, jars and packaging.

Any size or shape

Jar, tub, bottle and pouch labels cut to your exact spec.

Our print guarantee

We print exactly what you approve, matched as closely as we can to your on-screen proof - with a natural tolerance for colour and material differences.

What we guarantee

  • Colour reproduced as closely as possible to your approved proof
  • Sharp, high-quality printing and clean, accurate cutting
  • Any printing, cutting or material fault is on us - we’ll put it right or reprint free

What’s down to you

  • Spelling, wording and layout in your artwork
  • Setting up white ink and clear areas correctly for your design
  • We can’t improve low-quality graphics - upload poor resolution and it will print at poor resolution
  • We print your design exactly as approved, so please check your proof carefully

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.


Frequently asked questions

Are these food labels waterproof for fridge and freezer?

Yes - printed on waterproof vinyl so they survive fridge, freezer, condensation, steam and grease without wrinkling or peeling.

Can I add ingredients and allergen information?

Yes - add clear ingredient, allergen and best-before text in the online designer, or upload artwork that already includes it. They label packaging rather than touching food directly.

Will they stick to dark or cold packaging?

Yes - add the optional white ink under-base for bright colour on dark tubs, and the strong adhesive grips cold and damp packaging.

Can I order any size or shape?

Absolutely. Set any width and height, choose a rectangle, square, circle, oval or a custom die-cut shape, and we cut to your exact spec.

What is the minimum order?

Just one. Order a single label or thousands, and the price per label drops as your quantity grows.

How quickly will I get my labels?

Once you approve your proof we get straight to print. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
