Industries

The same label behaves differently on a shampoo bottle, a candle jar and a chilled sauce. These pages describe what each category actually needs — the surface, the temperature, the failure mode — rather than listing products again.

How to use these pages

Each industry page answers the same three questions in a different order: what the container is made of, what it is exposed to, and how long the label has to last. If your product sits between two categories — a chilled cosmetic, a warm sauce — read both and take the stricter requirement.

  • Surface decides the adhesive: glass and rigid plastic are forgiving, HDPE and powder coating are not.
  • Condition decides the film: condensation and freezing rule out paper; oil and alcohol rule out a standard laminate.
  • Duration decides the specification: a three-week promotion and a three-year shelf life are not the same job.

Quick answers

Do label requirements really differ by industry?

Yes, and mostly through the surface and the storage condition rather than the artwork. A candle jar runs warm, a sauce bottle runs cold and wet, a serum bottle is 30 mm across, and each of those changes the adhesive and the film before it changes the design.

What if my product is not listed here?

The four categories cover most of what we print, but the underlying questions are the same for anything else: what surface, what temperature, how long, and what will touch it. Send those four facts and we will specify from them.

Can I mix products from different categories in one order?

Only where the material, size and finish match, because the setup is shared. A candle jar wrap and a 30 mm serum label are separate jobs even if they are ordered on the same day and shipped together.
