Chapstick Labels
We print custom chapstick labels for lip balm makers and skincare brands. They fit standard lip balm tubes, push-up paperboard tubes, squeeze tubes, metal tins and jars, and slider tins. A tube lives in pockets, purses, and bathrooms, so we recommend moisture-resistant vinyl or BOPP film, which wraps smoothly around a curve. Paper with a protective laminate works if you want a more natural look. Every chapstick label we print gets a laminate or varnish. Think of it as a screen protector for your design, taking the scuffs from keys and everything else in the bag.
Orders with several flavors or SKUs are easy to set up. Quotes come back within 24 hours, with no minimum order. Most standard labels print within 5 business days of artwork approval, and we ship anywhere in the country.
Durable Chapstick Labels
Chapstick labels face a few different challenges that require special solutions. Chapstick labels are meant to be stored in pockets, purses, and bathrooms. The constant scrapes, scuffs, and escapades near water will lead low-quality labels to peel and fade very quickly.
At Blue Label, every chapstick label comes with either a laminate or varnish to protect your designs for regular use. These forms of print protection will help shield your designs from scuffs and scrapes caused by regular handling or rubbing up against other items. Laminates can also provide oil resistance and protect your labels from other potential hazards.

We provide labels for a wide range of chapstick containers, covering the most popular packages and container types. Our labels fit lip balm tubes in standard sizes, as well as push-up paperboard tubes, metal tins and jars, squeeze tubes, and slider tins.

We recommend using durable materials like vinyl and BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) for chapstick containers since they’re moisture-resistant and stand up well to regular handling. Vinyl labels offer excellent flexibility for curved surfaces, while BOPP labels provide a sleek, long-lasting finish. For eco-conscious brands, we also offer paper labels with a protective laminate, which adds some water resistance while keeping a more natural look.
