Label Shapes


The shape of your label will largely depend on the shape of your product or packaging. Blue Label can print and die cut labels for all types of containers, including bottles, cans, and jars, and for all different markets. From geometric to decorative, here are some of our most popular label shapes:

Rectangle

Rectangle

Rectangle

Rectangular labels are one of the most commonly used label shapes. They offer ample design space and can fit many different containers. Rectangular labels are perfect for most beer bottles, wine bottles, e-juice containers, skin care products—really just about any kind of packaging. Depending on your style preference, we can print rectangle and square labels with rounded or square corners.

Square

Square

Square

Similar to rectangular labels, square labels have a wide range of uses, and different size labels can help you achieve certain looks. For example, small square labels can work well for barcode labels or warehouse tags for industrial products. Meanwhile, large square labels can be ideal for products with lots of marketing real estate, like household cleaning supplies and some specialty food items.

Oval

Oval

Oval

For a sophisticated look, oval shaped labels can be used across a variety of markets, ranging from specialty foods and beverages to health and beauty products. When designing your oval label, consider minimalistic designs and features, as these labels can often have less space than most rectangle labels. Another label design tip to keep in mind is how the oval shape can impact the way text looks when it’s curved to fit within the label.

Circle

Circle

Circle

A circle label can be a great choice for many products, such as cosmetics or hair products that come in circular containers. Additionally, circle labels are perfect for drawing extra attention to your product, especially if there’s a special ingredient, promotion, or message you want to convey.
