Factors to Consider When Choosing Gloss Labels
Material and Finish Options
A machine-finished polymer coating is applied to our gloss-finish products, making them less easy to write on than our uncoated versions, but perfect for drawing attention to your desired artwork and information. If a handwritten finish is what you are looking for, an uncoated label will be more absorbent.
Printing Requirements and Compatibility
We recommend the following guidelines if you’re uploading your own designs. These suggestions will allow you to create the crispest, clearest version of the design you have in mind, to avoid any kind of disappointment during the process:
- Files: Flattened PDF or JPEG (recommended) or EPS, AI, PSD
- Resolution: 300dpi
- Bleed: 3mm
- Safe Area: 3mm
- Colour: CMYK
If you find yourself set on a design that is not compatible with our guidelines, our expert team of graphic designers can, with your consent, edit your artwork to make it consistent with our directions. You are also free to upload any design with specs you are not certain of, for our team to review before proceeding with label creation.
Customisation and Design Options
Creating your very own design is, depending on your skill set, one of the most exciting aspects of label-making. However, if graphic design is not your strong suit, why not let one of our expert illustrators draw something up for you? With your guidance and their know-how, a flourishing collaboration can begin, culminating in a gloss label you can be proud of.
Print Quality and Resolution
We pride ourselves on providing high-resolution printing options, without a premium price tag. Thin, flimsy labels come with the risk of becoming easily damaged or not standing the test of time, which is why we opt for gloss paper with a thickness of 90gsm. High-quality CMYK ink is used to ensure that each design remains vibrant and shiny for years to come, offering unbeatable resolution quality each time.
Handling and Application of Labels
When it comes to label application, doing so evenly is crucial. Decide exactly where you want the label to be placed on the bottle, tin or container, taking time to be certain that it is perfectly central. Take things slowly and ensure that there are no air bubbles under the paper before you press down. Before picking up the product and handing it, make sure that the adhesive has dried completely. If not, the gloss paper may migrate or lift.
