Freezer Labels

Printed Freezer Labels

What Shape Do You Require?

We offer all shapes! Select Circle, Oval, Square, Rectangle, or Custom. For circles or squares, please ensure your dimensions are equal (e.g., width = 20mm and height = 20mm). Only supply a cutting guide if you are printing a custom shape.

Roll Size

The drop-down menus will change according to the style of sticker or label you choose, showing only sizes that work for your selected label size. The number of labels across the roll depends on the label size, orientation, and roll size selected. Our manufacturing process maximizes material use. Choosing the smallest available roll size usually results in labels being supplied 1up, except for smaller labels (approx. 25-44mm) which will be a minimum of 2up. Larger roll sizes will have more labels across the roll.

Varnished or Laminated Finish?

Our labels come with a protective anti-scratch varnish as standard. For an impregnable finish, you can add a matte or gloss lamination.

Need to Print in White Ink?

No problem. White ink can be used as an underpin to make colors appear solid or on its own as part of your design. Please follow the instructions in the artwork guide at the bottom of this page.

Looking for an Environmentally Friendly Option?

Choose natural white paper or uncoated paper for the most eco-friendly labels. These unlaminated labels can be recycled when applied to cardboard or paper products. Polypropylene (PP) labels can be recycled when affixed to either polypropylene or polyethylene products, as both plastics can be recycled together.

Top Tip for Easy Recycling:

Choose a label material similar to the product or packaging it’s affixed to. For example, use a paper label for paper or cardboard packaging, or a polypropylene label for polypropylene or polyethylene packaging or products. Note that laminated labels cannot be recycled, and label backing sheets require specialist recycling facilities and are not widely recycled.

Artwork Specifications Freezer Labels

Once you have placed your order you can upload your print ready artwork. When supplying artwork for Labels on a Roll, please supply 1 multi layered PDF, which contains the following:

• 3mm bleed on all sides

• CMYK PDF, preferably PDF/X4a

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300 dpi resolution

• Artwork layer named “Artwork” with CMYK artwork for print

• If you are ordering a circle, square or rectangle shaped label, no cutting shape or layer is required. We will apply this for you automatically.

• If you are ordering a custom shape, please supply a vector cutting guide with a thickness of 0.25pt set as a spot colour named “KissCutting” and set at 100% magenta. This should be setup as an overprint stroke on a layer named “KissCutting”

• If you are ordering a solid fill white underpin, no underpinning is necessary within the artwork document as we will add this for you to the whole of the design automatically.

• If you require a selective white underpin (on transparent / metallic / black pulp-dyed / gold paper materials) please ensure you have a spot colour named “White” (case sensitive) and set at 100% Cyan. Please make sure that this is set to overprint and is a vector not a bitmap image on a layer named “White”.

• For labels with foil or selective raised gloss finishes, please supply your artwork as a PDF, along with any “KissCutting” or “White” layers that are required, with any of the foil/ selective gloss artwork layers labelled 'finishing'.

• Foil and selective gloss artwork must be supplied as vector shapes, set to 100 % K only with any overlapping white elements knocked out of the black foiling vectors. Our minimum foiling line weight is 1pt (0.34mm), minimum font size is 10pt (3.4mm) and the minimum gap between foiled or raised gloss elements is 1pt (0.34mm)

Pro Tip: There is a 2mm margin of error for movement on all circular stickers. This means that even if your design is perfectly centred when you submit it, there is a chance that it may shift slightly during printing. We, therefore, don't recommend the use of borders and line borders. Sticker Set-Up Recommendations
