Measure the product Source: Unsplash It’s a good thing to know the dimensions of your product, not because of packaging restrictions, but also for product labeling. When you have the product at hand, the best thing to find the right label is to cut out a mock-up label with paper and try it out on your product. Sheet labels are pre-cut, so it’s better to try them out with paper cut-outs first before purchasing those labels. 2. Choose the Right Label For choosing the right label, make sure you consider three things: size/shape, finish, and application. Label sheets come with labels of different sizes, even shapes when customized.

A glossy finish makes color pop out, while matte finish labels create a classic, faded effect. When you are creating products that are meant to be wet (soap, shampoos, etc.), you should opt for waterproof labels. 3. Take note of Legal Requirements Depending on your product, take note of the policies with regards to proper labeling of products. Especially for sensitive products such as food and cosmetics, look up the requirements in creating proper labels for these types of products. 4. Complete Your Label Information To start creating your label, make sure you have all the following information: Product Name Company Logo Product Details, e.g., Ingredients, Nutrition facts A short Product Description/ Product Story 5. Design your Label With all the info you have, you can start designing the label from scratch, or you can use templates. There’s nothing wrong with starting with templates; using them can even make your design process easier. Just remember these pointers when designing: The label should display your brand message The label should be appealing to target customers Keep the label clear and easy to read Don’t overdo your label; always leave some white space Also, make the best use of online tools such as Canva, where you can create labels free, and come with templates you can start with. You can also go with software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator if you want a higher degree of control when it comes to designing. 6. Choose Your Fonts & Graphics Source: Unsplash You can find commercially available fonts, clipart, and graphics available online. Just make sure that they’re allowed for commercial use when you use them. Default and pre-installed fonts are a no-no in product labeling, as they can make your labels look cheap. Finally, you can try out your product label and see how it looks in print. This is a good practice because most of the time, what you see on screen is not really what comes out in print.
