FOOD & BEVERAGE LABELS

DID YOU KNOW THAT 50%-60% OF ALL GROCERY ITEMS WE BUY ARE IMPULSE PURCHASES?


Eye-catching, quality labels are a major step in branding your food or beverage company and facilitating brand loyalty.


For a food or beverage label to bring the most benefit to your brand, it needs to accomplish several things at once: it should fit the container’s size and shape perfectly, be alluring to the customer, and instantly communicate important product information.


At Dion Label Printing, we print an assortment of labels for food and beverage products, including water, heat and freeze resistant labels, shrink sleeves, and tamper resistant labels.

MATERIAL SELECTION

 

For food and beverage companies, thoughtful and attractive design is an integral part of brand success, and to accomplish your design goals, you must start with the correct base material. You also need labels that are durable and appropriate for your application. But how do you know which material will work for you? Dion Label Printing uses only the best stock material available, and our experts will guide you to the appropriate material for your product and application.


FILM (AKA BOPP) – RUGGED, VERSATILE, DESIGN OPTIONS

 

Films are the most versatile label material option and certainly the most popular among all kinds of food and beverage brands. BOPP has a unique set of characteristics that make it optimal for a huge variety of applications. It is a sturdy, fatigue and moisture resistant material, so for many products that will be handled frequently or exposed to moisture or temperature changes, BOPP provides the ruggedness you need. We offer BOPP in white, metallic, and clear options, so it's easy to achieve your design goals, whatever they may be!

TEXTURED MATERIAL – UPSCALE, ENGAGING

When you want a high-end look for your product, one of the best ways to achieve it is to opt for a textured base material for your label. The textured look and feel of linen and estate papers add an element of sophistication that is growing in popularity in many industries. We offer many linen/estate options for labels here at Dion, as well as other specialty materials like black vellum and wood veneer. Keep in mind, however, that our textured material options may not be best-suited to your product if it is used in a wet environment; talk to a label solutions specialist directly, and they'll be able to guide you to the perfect material to balance your application requirements versus your design goals.


PAPER – COST-EFFECTIVE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, OPTIONS

Typically the most cost-effective and simple labeling material, a paper label has plenty of uses for food and beverage products. If your product is not going to be subjected to environmental stresses such as moisture and your primary concern is straightforwardness and cost, a paper label may be just what you’re looking for. As with BOPP, we offer several different paper material options other than just white, including metallic options.

SHRINK SLEEVES


A shrink sleeve is a 360-degree printed piece of film that shrinks with heat or steam to fit around various shaped containers. Shrink sleeves can be designed to cover an entire product container or only a portion of the container. We can print shrink sleeves both digitally and flexographically, which offers a unique packaging solution for all applications. Because of their 360-degree print surface, shrink sleeves maximize real estate for design and product information.


The food and beverage industries are intensely competitive. Labeling can become a challenge both because of requirements about communication of product information and the vastly different types of packaging required for different types of products. Shrink sleeves can provide the added space needed to include all pertinent labeling information, elevate the impression your design makes, and allow you to maintain brand consistency through all your products. Plus, shrink sleeves can offer built-in tamper proofing if they cover the top of your container.


There is one more extraordinary benefit shrink sleeves offer to food and beverage brands: water and spill-proof packaging!

Digital printing


To help manage obsolescence by reducing inventory, digital printing allows our food and beverage label clients to provide lot numbers in the label printing process versus the label application process.


Digital printing is a great label solution used by many of our food and beverage customers with multiple varietals. Labels with varying graphics can be printed all at once without the costs of plates and lengthy setup time. Digital printing technology offers solutions and versatility that other printing methods cannot deliver. With digital printing, our customers have been able to reduce their time to market, develop packaging concepts by reviewing labeled prototypes with focus groups, proof on the exact material and coatings as their label orders, and manage product changes and obsolescence with cost effective printing and zero replating costs.


Some key benefits of digital printing for food and beverage labels include:


  • Faster time to market
  • Shrink sleeve printing
  • Extensive selection of substrates
  • Exact match proofs printed on the same material and press that will run your order
  • Seven color process printing for true Pantone® matching
  • Custom color matching
  • Vast array of cutting dies available, including special shapes and sizes
