Custom Cheese Labels
Custom Cheese Labels
We print custom cheese labels for cheesemakers, creameries, and specialty food brands, from creamy bries to sharp cheddars. Labels fit wrapped cheese, plastic tubs, waxed cardboard boxes, glass jars, and cheesecloth. We use materials suited for refrigeration and handling, so your label still looks right in the dairy aisle or a specialty food shop. If your cheese travels from a walk-in cooler to a refrigerated case, we’ll recommend a material and adhesive that stay put through the cold and the handling.
If your packaging line applies labels by machine, we’ll set up the rolls to match your applicator. You’ll see a digital proof by email before anything prints. 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.
