Cupcake Labels
Cupcake Labels
We print custom cupcake labels for bakeries and cupcake shops. They fit plastic clamshells, individual cupcake boxes, single-serving cupcake pods, cupcake trays, boutique bakery boxes, and variety-pack dessert boxes. A clamshell gets picked up by frosting-smudged fingers, stacked in a display, and carried home in a warm car. We print on durable, moisture-resistant materials so the label stays put and readable. Small labels brand a single pod, and larger ones leave room for nutrition information on a tray.
Finish options include spot UV, soft-touch coating, foil stamping, embossing, and matte or gloss lamination. Order as few or as many as you need. You’ll have a quote within 24 hours, and most standard labels print within 5 business days of artwork approval. We ship anywhere in the U.S.
