Customers Always Read the Labels. Here Is How You Can Choose The Right Labels For Your Product And Brand

The right type of packaging labels will allow your products to stand out among the rest and promote sales. It is a mistake to think that a label is nothing more than a piece of paper with your business or product information. Labels are a very important part of your brand identity and that is why you need to make sure yours are of the highest quality. When it comes to advertising, it does not matter if you have been in business for years or just starting out, the label that you choose will need to showcase your product as a stand-out item to your customers.

Choose Your Labels Wisely

Careful consideration must be given to the selection of your packaging labels. Peeling, bubbling and faded print will discourage sales so who you choose as a label provider is extremely important. Remember that the label is an extension of your company’s identity and integrity in the market place! Issues with extremes in temperature or refrigeration or humidity will affect how well the label holds up in these conditions. So be extra careful to select the right label for the right purpose, for the right product, as there are many different types of labels for plastic, cardboard, paper and glass.

How Will You Use Labels?

Before you choose the labels, consider how you want the label to function after the sale; should the label stay affixed indefinitely or can they be peeled off and thrown away. You also need to understand how your products will be shipped and stored as there is a high degree for label damage to occur. Also if you are using labels for lengthy product information, you will need to make sure that the label area will fit all of the desired content in a readable format before you choose.

The Price Of The Labels

While price is a very important factor you want to make sure that whatever labels you choose will be the best reflection of your company and its products. To find the best balance between promotion and budget take into consideration the label’s purpose as well as its journey after it leaves your company. Questions you need to ask are what type of fabric or material is best suited for my products and how many per order and how often will I need to order the labels? As a general rule the more you order the lower the price for each label, however even for smaller orders design, durability, appearance and content are just as important to consider if you want the right labels.

Get Recommendations From Professionals

In order to get the best possible labels at the best possible price within your budget it is wise to talk to other companies that have used packaging labels from different label manufacturers or suppliers. Talk to label manufacturers and get customer references so that you can contact them yourself to get their feedback on the labels they use. Make informed decisions for your label purchasing by getting the best information you can from the manufacturers and suppliers and their customers.

Be Specific About What You Want

Manufacturers cannot read your mind, and if you do not tell them exactly what you want you may find yourself frustrated and worse yet, paying for something that you did not want. Make sure that you know exactly what you want by understanding your product packaging requirements. Remember to talk to the label supplier or manufacturer about the materials that you would like to use, the products that the labels will be used on, how they will be shipped and stored, how much budget you have to spend and how much information you would like to provide on your labels.

Get Them Ahead Of Time

Ensure that you and your label supplier understand your business requirements. Label stocks that are too low means that you may run out which will delay order filling; too many labels on hand means that you are out of pocket for storing label inventory. You and the label supplier must work out a label delivery schedule that makes sense for your company. More importantly, creating a positive working relationship with your label supplier means that if your label demands change suddenly your supplier can adjust their schedule for you too.

Make The Most Of Your Labels

Once you have made your purchasing decision and you finally have your labels, it’s important that you start using them immediately and making the most out of this advertising investment. Ensure that staff are properly trained and/or that labelling equipment is properly calibrated so that label placement is optimized for immediate impact. In very little time, you will begin to see an increase in your sales and your profits.
