Personalized Kids Name Stickers – Make Some For Your Kid’s Stuff Now

March 1, 2022 by Cindy Springer Leave a Comment

Kids Name Labels – Life Savers for Parents

If your child is involved in a lot of activities, there’s a good chance they have accumulated quite a bit of “stuff.” Name labels are indispensable to any parent shuttling their children between daycare, school, sports, dance, gymnastics, and so on. When your kid’s things have name stickers, they’re easily identifiable, even in the rush of grabbing things to drive from one activity to another. Labeling your child’s stuff decreases the chance of losing expensive items like book bags, soccer shoes, or tablets. Labeling formula bottles and sippy cups keeps your child from sharing germs with other kids. Name labels also decrease your stress level when you’re in a hurry looking for your kids’ stuff and a pile of lunch boxes just like your child’s confronts you.

Name Labels are Made from Heavy Duty Material NOT Paper

Anything a kid owns is generally exposed to some less than careful handling. These personalized labels are tough; printed on thick vinyl material with a high gloss finish and are backed with permanent adhesive. They can handle a washing with dish soap and warm water. Plus, they are individually cut and have a peel and stick backing, which makes them easy enough for your child to put them on their stuff.

Kids Name Labels in Custom Shapes

Custom shaped stickers are so adorable they give off a feel good vibe. They’re equal parts cute and functional. When customizing a name label simply pick a shape. Does your child love mermaids?..dinosaurs?..cats? Pick a favorite or upload one and add your child’s name and information. Shaped name labels are perfect for keeping track of daycare items. Their distinctive look makes your child’s things stand out for easy identification.

Make Your Own Food Labels – Three Common Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make

January 1, 2022 by Cindy Springer Leave a Comment

Example of a "make your own" honey label on a jar.

Whether you’re just getting started selling your food product and your budget is tight or you’re making food labels for your famous homemade hot sauce, our short-run printing is what you need. With an online design studio and small print quantities, many business owners and foodies utilize our services. However, your food expertise may not translate to good label design so here are the three most common mistakes seen on customer created food labels.

#1 – BLURRY LOGO

Before you start designing your label make sure your logo is print-ready. For a logo to print clearly it must be the correct resolution. Many people copy and past their logo from a web page. A web page is only 72 pixels per inch resolution, but printing requirements call for 300 pixels per inch resolution. A low resolution logo will appear pixelated. If you don’t know how to create a logo there are websites that offer that service; Logomaker and Freelogodesign to name a couple.

Look at these two logos, the one on the left is 72 ppi and the one on the right is 300 ppi resolution. The 300 ppi logo is sharp while the 72 ppi logo makes your eyes feel like they aren’t quite focused.

If you’re making homemade food labels you might consider using one of our pre-made food label templates. The templates are set up for you to edit the information to make it your own.

TIP: FILE FORMATS COUNT

When using the online designer to make your own label art, the best file format for uploading logos is PNG. Why? Because a logo in PNG format has a transparent background. This means you can add it to a label without a white box around it. A JPEG or PDF will upload brilliantly, but if you want to add a background color be prepared to see the dreaded white box framing your image if you use those file types.

Two food labels; one with a PNG logo and one with a JPEG logo.

Above: JPG logo VS PNG logo

#2 – ILLEGIBLE TEXT

Legibility means the reader can recognize and figure out words to understand them. Make sure you choose a font style and a font size that are easy to read. Font is a name for the character style of letters, numbers, and punctuation. Fonts are measured in points. A font size smaller than 5 pts is generally going to be too small for most people to read. It doesn’t matter how good your product is if no one can read the words on the label!

Legibility is a result of the chosen typeface and font, its size, spacing, and the contrast between text and background.”

Jurek Breuninger

TIP: FONT STYLE & FONT SIZE MATTERS

Choose a font style and font size that is easy to read when making your own food label.

TIP: CONTRAST IS KEY

Choose colors with contrast. That means the text and background colors should not be the same color value. Black letters on a red background sound good, but if the two colors are dark the text will disappear when printed. Pick colors for your text that have a high contrast from the background color. What looks good on a bright screen won’t always translate the same to print.

Above: Low contrast colors vs. high contrast colors

Choose colors for your food labels that have good contrast. Use opposite colors on the color wheel.

#3 – CLUTTERED LAYOUT

Layout is the process of arranging graphics and text in a way that they’re visually appealing. Good layout is important and should make it simple to find out what’s inside the package. Too much information can be a bad thing if it means your label is crammed with words and images in a random way. Think grids; grids organize the various elements of the label like text and images in a way that makes it easy for the eyes to process.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Leonardo da Vinci

This is an example of a food label layout that uses a grid. It’s easy on the eyes and simple to read.

What Kinds of Products Are Sold in Dropper Bottles? Hint…it’s Not Just CBD

July 1, 2020 by Jenny Walters 2 Comments

Dropper bottles with labels from different business types scattered.

What kind of businesses buy custom dropper bottle labels? We think it may surprise you and we’ll show how the labels look on actual entrepreneurs’ products. If you’re like most people you’re cautious about purchasing from a company until you see verified purchases from other customers. For that reason, we’re featuring some of our customers and almost every photo in this post was taken by them and not a professional photographer.

What Are Dropper Bottles?

Dropper bottles are most often glass containers used for storing nutraceuticals, CBD oils, hemp oils, herbal oils, essential oils, cosmetics and much more. They typically range from one-half ounce to two ounces in size. The bottle includes an eye dropper lid and a bulb on the end of the dropper for dispensing liquids in very small amounts. The glass bottle is offered in clear, brown, blue, green, and gradient shades. There are a variety of colors available for the lids as well.

What Products are Sold in Dropper Bottles?

Initially it was CBD businesses designing and ordering labels for their cannabinoid products, but the demand for other unique products sold in dropper bottles has increased. So what kind of products are sold in dropper bottles? Read on…

1. Beard Oils

The entrepreneurial spirit runs strong in those who are passionate about beards. We have many customers who order not only dropper bottle labels, but circle stickers for beard balm and beard growth products which are sold in tins or round jars.

Many small businesses who order from us need smaller print quantities for their dropper bottle labels and that is why they chose us. We print as few as 20 of the 3 inch wide by 1.5 inch high labels, which fit most 1-oz dropper bottles, and as few as ten of the 3 inch wide by 2 inch high labels which fit most 2-ounce dropper bottles.

2. Skin Care Products

When you’re bold enough to create your own skin care line, it’s entirely possible to make your own skin care labels using the online design studio, as evidenced by these customers. One ounce dropper bottles for skin care products utilize the 3 inch by 1.5 inch custom dropper labels.

3. Hair Repair

4. CBD Oil

The number one demand from our customers for short run dropper bottle labels is CBD oil in various formulas. This member of the FDA Schedule 5 drug family has inspired a myriad of people to start their own companies. Small print quantities help these small shop owners launch their own products.

5. Tinctures or Supplements

Dropper bottles are one of the best vehicles to deliver tinctures and supplements. The sturdy small bottle protects these carefully created solutions, and the dropper aids in accurate delivery. Our customers who create these healing concoctions tend to be perfectionists when it comes to their label art.

Branding Your Candles with Custom Stickers

June 1, 2020 by Cindy Springer 4 Comments

What can our candle labels help you do? If you’re starting your own candle-making business, custom labels help you establish your brand. If you’re making candles for gifts or favors, they present a unique, personalized look.

How to Brand a Candle Jar or Tin

The appeal of your candle packaging has a big impact on your sales. From beeswax candles to candles made with essential oils, choosing the right label artwork for your candle container is one of the most important things you can do to enhance the finished product.

To get started measure your candle container and look at our available label sizes. (See ‘How to Pick a Label Size’ below). Once you know what size you need you have three options for making your candle sticker:

  • Choose pre-made artwork from our available designs and personalize
  • Upload your own print-ready artwork
  • Make your artwork from scratch using the online designer

Some Important Things to Include

Whether you choose one of our templates or make your own artwork you’ll want to include some of the following information on the label:

  • Business name or event name
  • Logo or photo
  • The type of wax
  • The scent(s) of the candle
  • The weight of the candle
  • Any caution or warning messages

When you’re done you’ll have a professional presentation for your candles, whether you sell them, make favors, or give them as gifts.

Candle making supplies include custom labels for packaging your candles.

TIP: Any logo or image file you add to your design must be 300 pixels per inch resolution to print clearly. If you don’t have a logo or a graphic of any kind then consider using an interesting font to highlight your business name. We have hundreds of fonts to choose from so take some time to choose a font that speaks to you and your business concept.

Short Run Printing Solutions

We offer small quantities for printing your candle stickers. Start with as few as ten stickers in qualified sizes. No need to order hundreds of stickers for a special candle formula. You’ll find our turnaround time for your short run stickers is fast as well. And keep in mind every sticker is self-adhesive and heat tolerant. So if your candle holder gets overly warm you don’t need to worry about the sticker integrity.

Candle Stickers Come in All Shapes and Sizes

Whether you pour your candle wax into glass jars, candle tins, or candle molds, the right label enhances your candle-making expertise. You might like a circle label for the lid of a candle tin or a large, vertical rectangle label for a pillar candle. Small candles call for a thin rectangle sticker like our 3 inch wide by 1.5 inch high size. To wrap a label around your candle you may need one of the longer “water bottle” label sizes.

Circle stickers for favor tins. Personalize one for your spa party, bridal shower, or candle-making business.
Custom candle stickers with your logo and candle specifications on the label.

Rectangle labels come individually cut and circle stickers come on a sheet like the beeswax candle labels you see in the photo below. Each candle label is self-adhesive and waterproof.

Custom Stickers for Candle Favors

Maybe you’re hosting a bridal shower and need a spectacular look for the lid of your candle favors. Or perhaps you’re making thank you gifts for baby shower guests and you need labels with a baby shower theme for your candles. Regardless, it’s fun to personalize one of our pre-designed stickers to make the perfect party favor.

In case you need to ship your candles you may want to extend your branding by adding a custom label to the inner box. Choose from rectangles, squares, circles, ovals, and even hang tags.  If you need help simply chat online with one of our representatives and our designers will do their best to assist you in achieving your branding goals.

How to Pick a Label Size

For any size candle container be it glass or tin, the first thing you need to do is measure the area where the label fits. Use a flexible measuring tape to determine the maximum height and width of the label area, then you can determine which label size will look best on your container. If in doubt simply cut out a piece of paper in that size and hold it up against your container.

Let’s take a look at some of the sticker sizes we offer:

  • 3 inches wide by 1.5 inches high
  • 3 inches by 2 inches in portrait or landscape orientation
  • 3 inches square
  • 3 inches by 4 inches in portrait or landscape orientation
  • 4 inches by 6 inches in portrait or landscape orientation
  • 8 inches wide by 1.75 inches high to wrap around large pillar candles
  • 2 or 2 1/2 inch circle
  • 2.25 inches x 3.5 inches oval in portrait or landscape orientation
