Special Instructions (Optional)

Make sure your files are set up for success!

For the best possible product, we recommend the following for your art files:

  • 300 dpi resolution or higher for printing
  • Ensure your file’s color space is set to CMYK (otherwise colors may appear off)
  • Upload any of these file formats: AI, PSD, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, PDF, or EPS
  • Vector or high-resolution raster art files are preferred for best results
  • There are some size limitations with our labels – our smallest size is 0.5”x0.5” and our largest size is 11”x14”.
  • We require a ⅛” safety margin surrounding your entire label, so keep that in mind when setting up your design.
  • If you are looking to wrap your labels all the way around something (like a small tube or curved jar, etc) we recommend making the size about ¼” larger so that you can overlap the label.
  • There may be specific requirements in your industry for labels! Please make sure you check those to ensure your labels are set up accordingly and include all necessary information.

Cutting Corners (Literally—We never cut corners figuratively):

  • Laser cutting also means rounded corners, which has the added benefit of preventing peeling once your labels are applied. Depending on your designs, we are able to cut tighter corners in many cases.
  • To cut tight corners for your Matte Labels, let us know in the Additional Comments box in your cart.
  • Our design team will let you know if we can cut tight corners with your designs.
  • Our typical corner radius is 1/8" (0.125"). Our tight corner radius will be 1/25" (0.04").

When you need a label that’s as bold as your brand, Glossy Paper Labels are the way to go. Whether it’s cosmetic packaging, food and beverage containers, candles, or any product that needs to pop, these labels deliver a shiny, professional finish that demands attention. Plus, with their durable coating, they can handle a little wear and tear—perfect for products that get a lot of love. 

Glossy Paper Labels are used for:

  • Product Packaging – Elevate your bottles, jars, boxes, and containers with a premium, glossy look that screams quality. 
  • Branding & Marketing – Make your brand unforgettable with vibrant colors that pop off the shelf and grab eyeballs. 
  • Cosmetic Labels – Show off your product info with sleek labels that complement your high-end products. 
  • Food & Beverage Labels – Add that high-end touch to food packaging, ensuring your products stand out in the fridge or on the shelf. 
  • Event Decorations – Customize labels for party favors, gifts, or signage that leave a lasting impression. 

Application Tips for Best Results:

  • For best results, apply labels to clean, flat surfaces to ensure a strong hold. 
  • Start from one edge and smooth out as you apply to prevent air bubbles. 
  • Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets) to prevent wrinkles. 
  • Not food-safe – Do not place these labels directly on food or edible items. 
  • These labels are not designed for outdoor use, but our stickers are a great alternative! 
  • Glossy Paper Labels are not waterproof. If you need a waterproof option, check out our Glossy Labels. 
  • Perforations cannot be added between labels on the backing.  
  • These labels are not compatible with inkjet or laser printers and cannot be printed on after production. 

Product labels often have specific size requirements, and incorrectly sized labels may actually send out the wrong message for your brand.

Here are a few size comparisons to things we see all the time.

A quarter is about an inch in diameter, and this size works great for supporting branding labels, or small easy to hand out stickers. 

An Oreo cookie is about 2 inches in diameter for a size that allows for an easy to see logo or visible designs, in a size that will still be easily seen if applied to the back of a phone or laptop.

Standard business cards are usually 2x3 inches, and ovals and rectangles in this size are popular options for custom stickers. This size is easy to share with your fans at events to get your logo out in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Custom Glossy Paper Labels?

Custom Glossy Paper Labels are specialized labels made from high-gloss paper with a UV varnish finish. They are designed for indoor use and provide sharp details and vibrant colors for a polished, professional look. With a strong permanent adhesive, they adhere securely to plastic, glass, and cardboard, making them ideal for branding and packaging.

What Are Glossy Paper Labels Best Used For?

Glossy Paper Labels are ideal for indoor applications where moisture exposure isn’t a concern. Their vibrant, high-quality finish makes them perfect for branding, product packaging, and promotions.

Are Glossy Paper Labels waterproof?

No, our Glossy Paper Labels are not waterproof. If you need a waterproof option, we recommend our Glossy BOPP labels, which are durable, water-resistant, and ideal for products exposed to moisture or refrigeration.

How durable are Glossy Paper Labels?

Glossy Paper Labels are durable for short-term use in dry environments. If you need a more durable or moisture-resistant label, check out our Glossy BOPP labels.

What is the difference between Glossy Paper Labels and Glossy Labels?

Glossy Paper Labels are paper-based with a UV varnish finish for indoor, dry-use applications, while Glossy Labels are polypropylene, water- and oil-resistant, and more durable for moisture-prone products like food, beverages, and cosmetics.

Can I Write on Glossy Paper Labels?

Yes, but results may vary. Permanent markers work best on glossy surfaces, while ballpoint pens and gel pens may smudge or not adhere well. If you need a writable surface, consider our Matte Recycled Paper Labels instead.

What are the best markers for Glossy Labels?

For handwritten customization, permanent markers such as Sharpies or oil-based paint pens work best on glossy paper labels. Water-based markers may smudge or not dry properly.

Why choose professionally printed Glossy Paper Labels over DIY printing? 

DIY printing comes with ink costs, alignment issues, and smudging. Ordering custom-printed labels in bulk is a cost-effective, time-saving solution for businesses. Our high-quality digital printing delivers sharp details, vibrant colors, and no extra charges for full-color designs.

With roll labels, application is faster and easier, whether by hand or with a label applicator. Plus, we offer custom shapes and sizes without the hassle of printer margins or misalignment.
