Label Checklist:

• Your label represents your identity- please do not think of it as the last priority. This is your communication tool from you to the end user.
• Use an artist that is familiar with the print process used to create your label. Check with your printer to find out if they have an in-house department. It may be more cost effective to use their designers.
• If you do use an independent artist for creation of art, introduce your artist and printer to discuss specifications.
• Have nutritional & UPC ready for printer. If you do not have this information, this will slow down the process.
• Discuss lead times with your printer to ensure timely delivery date.
• If you have multiple products/ flavors, heat, etc.- work with your printer and designer for possible common plates for label design, this will reduce up-front costs.
• If you are able to be flexible with size, your printer may have an in-house tooling option.
• Ask Questions, and expect your printer to ask questions. The more familiar you are with each other’s process, the more efficient the overall process will be.
• Internet capabilities can greatly reduce time constraints. Email and FTP sites (a site to upload art) can help expedite the pre-press process.
• Will your label be hand applied or auto applied?
• What are the label application conditions, the temperature range and the service range? (heat, cold, humidity…etc.)
• TESTING!! The best way to find out if your label will work for you. What are the materials to which the label will be applied? (Plastic, glass, PETE, PET, HDPE…etc.)  Is your container an odd shape, are there curves to consider?
