Shampoo Bottle Labels

Shampoo Bottle Labels

We print custom shampoo bottle labels for haircare brands and personal care manufacturers, on both shampoo and conditioner bottles. These bottles sit in the shower for months, so we print on water-resistant synthetic paper or BOPP film. Lamination works like a raincoat over the print. It adds another layer of water resistance and protects the design from wear. Choose transparent labels for a sleek look or a gloss coat for brighter branding.

Not sure which material fits? We’ll send samples so you can compare how each one performs. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the elements that matter most:

    • Product Identity: Clearly label it as “Shampoo” or “Conditioner” so shoppers know what they’re grabbing.
    • Net Quantity: Show the bottle size (like “12 fl oz” or “355 mL”) to meet standard packaging rules.
    • Manufacturer Information: Include who made it, packed it, or distributed it (like name and address).
    • Ingredient List: List all ingredients in descending order of predominance. This helps people spot anything they might be sensitive to.
    • Directions & Warnings: If you have special usage instructions or safety notices (like “avoid contact with eyes”), add them here.
    • Branding & Unique Points: Highlight any standout features (like sulfate-free or vegan) but keep claims true and backed by data.

Durable labels are important for shampoo or conditioner bottles that are in frequent contact with water. Here are some things to consider:

    • Synthetic paper labels or BOPP labels for water resistance often work best.
    • Transparent labels create a sleek look, while conventional gloss coat labels can offer more vibrant branding.
    • Label lamination (including glossy lamination options) adds extra resistance to water and protects designs from wear.
    • When exploring your choice of label material, consider requesting label material samples to compare performance.

We offer shipping through several vendors like UPS, Fedex, and USPS. Ground, Next-Day, 2-Day, 3-Day, and custom freight options. 

Our preferred file formats are Adobe Illustrator or High-Resolution PDF.  You can view our complete artwork file standards checklist here.

Before printing your custom shampoo bottle 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 shampoo bottle 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.
