Maximum Size: 11” x 14”
Safety Margin: Leave at least 1/8” (0.125") of space around the edge of your design to prevent accidental trimming

Wrap-Around Labels: For containers like tubes or jars, add 1/4” to the length so the label overlaps cleanly

Industry-Specific Requirements

If your labels need to meet compliance or packaging standards (e.g., food, cosmetics, supplements), make sure your design includes all required elements—we print what you provide.

Cutting Corners with Precision

Our laser cutting process ensures a clean, professional finish—designed to reduce peeling and maintain durability across packaging and product applications.
Standard Corner Radius: 1/8” (0.125”) for smooth, consistent results
Tight Corner Option: 1/25” (0.04”), available when your design allows for more precise cuts

Glossy Labels offer a professional, high-quality look that enhances product packaging, promotions, and brand visibility. Their vibrant colors and durable finish make them an ideal choice for businesses looking to create a polished, eye-catching presentation.

Custom Glossy Labels are used for:

Product Labels – Perfect for food, beverage, and cosmetic packaging, creating a sleek, eye-catching finish.
Promotional Labels – Use for event giveaways, special edition packaging, or branded marketing materials.
Retail & E-Commerce Labels – Add a professional touch to packaging, gift boxes, and shipping materials.
Event & Corporate Branding – Customize labels for conferences, trade shows, or branded merchandise.
Inventory & Organization Labels – Ideal for warehouses, office supplies, and storefronts needing clear, durable labeling.

Glossy Label Application Tips:

For best adhesion, apply labels to clean, flat surfaces.
Start from one edge and smooth down to prevent air bubbles.
Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets and water bottles) to prevent wrinkles.
Not food-safe—do not place these labels directly on food or edible items.
These labels are not outdoor durable – For a weather-resistant option, check out our Custom Sticker products.
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 Glossy Labels Best Used For?

Custom Glossy Labels provide a shiny, vibrant finish that makes colors pop. They are ideal for food, beverage, and cosmetic packaging due to their oil- and water-resistant properties.

What is Rush Production?

Rush Production is available based on availability and is an optional service for stickers and labels only that speeds up your order's processing and manufacturing. When selected at checkout, your order is prioritized for artwork review and printed the next business day after you approve the proof. Rush Production does not include expedited shipping—faster delivery must be selected and paid for separately. It applies to the entire order, so if only part of your order needs to be rushed, place it separately. Orders with Waterless Tattoos are not eligible. To qualify for the next-business-day turnaround, your proof must be approved promptly. Delays in approval will delay production. Rush Production includes a fee for priority handling and faster turnaround. If you're in Colorado, local pick-up is also available for even quicker receipt. For more details, check out our Rush Production: How to Get Your Stickers and Labels Faster article.
