Custom Candle Labels

While we offer a wide variety of materials to meet just about any container and packaging need, the most common materials used for candle labels are:

• • Plastic: Often polypropylene or vinyl, these materials are highly durable, resistant to heat, moisture, and wax.
  • Paper: While less resistant to heat and moisture, paper labels can provide a more natural and eco-friendly option. Coated papers can enhance durability.
  • Clear Film: This material allows the candle container to show through, creating a modern and minimalist aesthetic.

We offer a number of finishing techniques aimed at improving your label’s durability and appearance, including:

• • Gloss coating: Adds shine and protects against smudges and scratches.
  • Matte coating: Provides a soft, elegant finish and reduces glare.
  • Lamination: Adds a protective layer over the label, enhancing durability and resistance to moisture and heat.
  • Foil: Adds a metallic or holographic effect, creating a luxurious appearance.
  • Embossing/Debossing: Creates raised or indented designs for a tactile and visually appealing finish.
  • Spot UV: Adds a glossy finish to specific areas of the label, highlighting important elements.

Before printing your custom candle labels, we will provide a digital proof via email for your approval. This allows you to review your label, confirming details like positioning, color accuracy, text legibility, and more, prior to full production. We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction through this streamlined proofing process.

While Blue Label Packaging does not directly offer label design services, we do have resources to help with your custom label design needs. We maintain a directory of Blue Label Approved designers who specialize in label design and understand the unique requirements and technical details involved. We also showcase a gallery of label designs for inspiration.

Our printers are capable of matching up to 97% of the full color spectrum, allowing us to achieve precise color reproduction for your beer labels. We use advanced CMYK printing to produce an extensive gamut of colors. For designs requiring an expanded range, we also print using WOVG ink sets which add white, orange, violet and green.

Our top-of-the-line color management program and processes ensure we hit the correct hues, tints and shades. We color calibrate and profile all of our presses so your unique color palettes and gradations print true to your vision.
