Small Labels for All Industries & Products
Whether facial oil, cream, vape oil, ginger shots, different spices, or pesto – many products from the most diverse industries are packaged in small bottles, jars, or tins. These small packages require small labels that are not only visually appealing but also stick reliably and don’t unwind. At the same time, even small labels must be large enough for all information on ingredients and manufacturers to be printed legibly on the label. We therefore recommend a minimum size of 20 x 20 mm.
Small Format Labels – The Materials
Especially important for small packages: The label must stick reliably and must not unroll from the product. We therefore recommend not choosing materials with heavy grammage, such as our natural, textured paper or cotton paper for your small labels.

The best way to find out which material is suitable for your product and your individual application is to use our free sample book. It contains pre-cut and partially finished sample labels made from our standard materials. You can easily peel these off, stick them on your product and test the suitability of the material. We will be happy to advise you on an appropriate material for the desired format of your small labels. Simply contact us by email at info@label.co.uk or by phone at 0044(0) 2035881080. We are sure to find the optimum solution for your individual application.
Free in Form & Design
Even small labels can be designed individually and freely according to your ideas: For example, choose round, square, or an individual form. Various designs, such as tamper-proof labels and neck loops are also not a problem. From shape to print and possible refinements – it’s all up to you.
Small labels can also be personalised and individualised, for example, with a unique QR code or different names on each label. Digital printing makes this possible, as there is no need to make a printing plate. Therefore, the print file is transferred directly to the machine so that every label can look different.
Multi-Layer and Release Varnish
There are printing processes that are specially designed to extend the printing area of your labels in an innovative way. The most common methods are multi-layer labels and release varnish. With both printing techniques, you can print a lot of information on your label without having to worry about limited space or font sizes.
- Release varnish is an invisible silicone-based varnish that is applied after printing. It makes it possible to wrap the label around itself without it sticking permanently. This means that the overlapping elements can be stuck together and peeled off again and again.
- Multi-layer labels are an alternative to release varnish. These labels consist of several layers, all of which can be printed individually. This creates additional space for printing on your small labels with little effort.
