The Ingredients for Effective Food and Beverage Labels
Food and beverage labels are essential for providing consumers with crucial information about the products they purchase. These labels serve multiple purposes including, product identification, nutritional facts, ingredients list, preparation instructions, and last but not least, marketing and branding.
Label Products for the Food & Beverage Industry
There are several things to consider when picking out a label product for your food or beverage brand. Some factors include the branding and desired image, the type and shelf life of your product, and regulatory requirements. Here are some popular options:
Custom Paper Labels
Paper labels are a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and versatile option for food and beverage products, especially for shorter shelf-life items or products stored in controlled environments. They come in coated options, which work well for a premium look and feel, and uncoated options, when you’re going for a more natural or rustic look which is perfect for artisanal and organic products. Overall paper labels lend themselves well to creative label designs since they come in a wide range of colors, finishes, and textures.
Film Labels
Film labels offer many advantages for food and beverage products. They are highly durable and can withstand exposure to moisture, grease, and temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for products with long shelf lives. Film labels are also extremely versatile and come in a variety of materials such as polyester, polypropylene, and viny. Each of these materials has unique properties, allowing for customization to specific product needs. For example, polyester offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and clarity, making it suitable for a wide range of food and beverage applications. If your food or beverage product has a long shelf life, polypropylene is a great choice since it is a versatile material that is resistant to moisture, grease, and temperature extremes. Vinyl offers enhanced durability and flexibility and can withstand outdoor use and freezer storage. Finally, film labels work well with enhancements for visual appeal and to add tamper-evident features.
