A label is a printed piece with an adhesive back that sticks to a jar, bottle, box, bag or parcel. Home bakers, candle makers, craft brewers, skincare brands, farmers market vendors and online sellers around Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington use custom labels so their products look consistent and professional on the shelf.
Options and sizes
The right label depends on what it is stuck to and what it has to survive.
- Paper labels: a good choice for dry goods, boxes, mailers and indoor products. They print crisp and are usually the more economical choice.
- Film labels: a plastic-type material that stands up better to moisture, scuffing and handling. Ask us about options for items that get wet or cold.
- Permanent adhesive: meant to stay put once applied.
- Removable adhesive: peels off more easily, useful for price tags and temporary markings.
Labels can be round, square, rectangular or cut to a custom shape. Tell us the surface, the size you need and the quantity, and we will recommend a material. Sheets or rolls may be possible, so ask us.

Tips for great results
Measure the actual surface. A curved jar needs a label that wraps without overlapping the seam awkwardly, and a flat panel on a bottle needs a different size than the full wrap. If you can send us a sample or a photo with a ruler, it helps.
Think about conditions. Paper is fine for dry, indoor use. For anything that gets wet, cold or handled a lot, ask about film.
If your label is for food or another regulated product, check the current Canadian labelling requirements yourself before you design it. We print what you send, so the content needs to be right on your end.
For help choosing, read our guide to vinyl vs paper stickers and labels. If you need something tougher for outdoors, look at vinyl stickers or window decals.
Are your labels waterproof?
Film materials hold up much better to moisture than paper. Tell us where the label will be used and we will suggest a material.
Do you print food labels?
We can print the artwork you provide. You are responsible for checking Canadian labelling requirements for your product.
Can you make labels in a custom shape?
Yes, custom shapes are possible. Ask us with your design and size.
