Food Labels

At LabelStore, we've developed a range of food-grade labelling solutions built specifically around the realities of the food industry. We understand that a food label is a critical part of your product's journey.  

It needs to stay legible, intact, and professional whether it's sitting in a freezer, sweating through a cold chain, or facing the unpredictable conditions of logistics and retail.

Freezer-Grade Labels

Designed to withstand and remain intact in cold environments, our freezer-grade labels maintain full adhesion and print quality even at below zero temperatures. We use specially formulated materials and adhesives that stay flexible in extreme cold, these labels won't peel, crack, or lose their grip even when applied directly on a pre-frozen surface. If your product lives in the freezer, your label should be built for it.

Suitable for: Frozen foods and dairy products.

Moisture & Waterproof Labels

This is a type of labels formulated by combining special materials and adhesives that can resist water and moisture when merged. We also use smudge proof inks to ensure that your label is fully durable and will remain functional in challenging environments from production to the moment it reaches your customer.

Paper Labels

Polypropylene white and transparent

Suitable for: Poultry, fresh produce, canned food, deli, confectionery, bakery, and dairy products.

Variable Data Printing (VDP)

Inventory & Stock Management

With Variable Data Printing, you can print multiple different label artworks during the same print run. VDP allows text, graphics, and images to change from one label to the next, pulling information from a database to create personalised or campaign-specific variations all without pausing the press.   VDP can be used for promotional labelling, limited editions, loyalty campaigns, and any framework where personalisation drives results.

Finishes That Work

Beyond durability, food labels must also be a powerful and creative branding tool.

The right finish elevates your product on the shelf and indicates quality to the customer.

Varnishes

Gloss Varnish:

Gloss varnish is a clear liquid coating that gives your label a glossy effect.  

This type of coating will help your label’s colours have more shine and vibrancy under store lights.  

It also adds a practical layer of protection against moisture friction and light scratches, so your label looks great from the shelf all the way to the customer's hands.

Matte varnish:

Metallic printing is a category of printing techniques that results in providing you with a label that has a metallic appearance.  

This appearance can be achieved by using metallic inks, foils or substrates to create a shimmering, reflective effect, metallic printing adds a premiumization touch to any label.    

Whether you're positioning your product as a luxury item or simply want your packaging to stand out on a crowded shelf, metallic finishes make a statement.

Metallic Ink:

This is a type of ink formulated from powdered metals or reflective pigments; metallic ink gives text and graphic elements a genuine metallic appearance. It can be in both gold and silver shades.

Cold Foil:

Cold foil takes the metallic effect even further. By applying gold, silver, holographic, or other metallic finishes directly while printing the label on the digital printing press.  

Cold foil can deliver a striking, high-quality result that's both cost-effective and visually captivating.

Cold foil can be used across the entire label or on selective spots depending on how you want your final label design to look like.

Metallic Substrate:

In order to achieve a complete metallic look across the entire label, we can print directly on a metallic material such as a silver-toned PP film or metallic coated paper using CMYK inks.  

We can create your final artwork on a metallic material by layering colours over the reflective base of the material simulating a wide range of metallic tones, from warm gold to bold metallic red, without the need for separate foiling processes.  

It's a creative way to achieve a consistent premium metallic finish across your entire range.

HP Collage

HP collage is an innovative label printing technique that can create multiple different artworks from the same brand elements.

How it works:

  • Our team will upload your brand’s graphic elements.  
  • They will add rules depending on the variations you’re looking for.  
  • Collage creates endless combinations using the same brand elements.    

HP collage outputs are not random; it operates with brand control in mind so that each printed label can remain connected to the same family while maintaining the consistency of your brand identity.

This printing technique will save the time you spend in creating multiple artworks with the same layout but different colours, element distributions or fonts.

Food manufacturing is one of the most complex and tightly regulated industries globally. From farm to shelf, every stage of the process comes with its own handling requirements, storage conditions, and compliance standards and your label needs to keep up with all of them.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of our finishing processes, the labels we produce are not suitable for direct contact with food. Please factor this into your packaging design and application process accordingly.
