Labels on Sheets

As the name suggests, these labels are printed on a sheet and are the counterpart to classic roll labels. Printing on a sheet instead of a roll can be particularly worthwhile for short runs. Labels on sheets are suitable for manual application as they can simply be peeled off the backing material and stuck directly onto the product. Sheet labels are not suitable for machine processing.

Until now, label.co.uk has always produced labels on sheets in A4 format. Recently, however, we have also started producing sheet labels in A4+ format. This means that the sheets on which your labels are printed are slightly larger than A4.

The reason we decided to do this is simple: efficiency. Depending on the format of your labels, we can use sheets with the new dimensions much more efficiently than before! This results in less waste and makes our label production even more environmentally friendly.

Depending on the order details, the format supplied may vary – unfortunately, it is not possible to make an exact allocation in advance. However, both variants offer the same high quality and can be processed without any problems. So no matter which format you receive, you can always rely on precise printing and reliable adhesion.

Are you currently developing a product and have now reached the packaging design stage? The right label is a decisive factor at the point of sale. That’s why you should choose your labels on sheets with care. There are several aspects that need to be considered. We can help you with this!

We have therefore summarized 5 steps for you to ensure that the planning and implementation of product labels runs smoothly:

First determine the packaging and label shape: You should have already decided on a container or packaging method. Now you can familiarise yourself with the label applications and select a shape to match the packaging, according to your own ideas.

Select the material: In a second step, you decide on the material and should consider the purpose of your product. At label.co.uk you will find a large selection of papers and films. If you have any questions regarding the right choice of material, we will be happy to help.

Design AND brand identity: Your labels on sheets should reflect the corporate design so that the company values and product characteristics are visualised. Being coherent and keeping some your visual identity is crucial. And our design service has just the right feel for this!

Test first. Then select: Our free sample book allows you to apply materials to your product on a trial basis. You can also have a small quantity of labels produced on sheets on a trial basis under original conditions. Use our printing proof for this.

Pay attention to legal requirements: It is important that your labels on sheets comply with industry-specific regulations. We therefore recommend a legal check before production. This includes, for example, the printing of barcodes on labels.

Whether front label, back label or banderole, we have the ideal label type for you. The front label is located on the front of your product and typically includes the logo and product name. The back label, which often contains information about the contents, can be found on the back of the product. A sleeve encloses the entire product.

Which label type is best suited for your labels on sheets depends primarily on the respective product and the packaging. Various factors play an important role here, such as industry, area of application, formal criteria and appearance.

For example, sealing labels are often used for food labels, honey or jam, while champagne bottles are often provided with neck ribbons.

At label.co.uk, you can choose between labels on sheets and classic roll labels. In contrast to roll labels, for which you can choose freely from our more than 15 standard materials, the choice of materials for sheet labels is limited. If you are planning to finish your labels, we recommend that you opt for roll labels.

Which is more suitable depends on the requirements, area of application and further processing. Roll labels vs. sheets? Read more about the advantages and disadvantages of labels on sheets.

Your labels on sheets can also be freely designed in terms of shape, size and design. Only additional finishing with hot foil or embossing is not possible. As with our classic roll labels, you can also combine several types of labels on sheets in one order.

In terms of materials, you can choose from our white 80g paper, white 90g uncoated paper, white 60µ PP film and transparent 60µ PP film. Of course, we can also supply you with blank labels. Please contact our customer service to have the sheets printed at a later date. We will be happy to advise you on your options!

Labels on sheets are applied manually. One of the advantages of this type of labelling is the precision with which the labels can be applied. This emphasises the individuality of handmade, special products in particular. In addition, the quality of your sheet labels can be better controlled and maintained.

Ultimately, applying labels to sheets by hand is individual, precise and flexible. Find out more about labelling techniques and how to apply sheet labels correctly by hand.
