Whether you’re shipping products, labelling jars, or branding eco-conscious retail items, our labels offer functionality, customisation, and environmental responsibility in one smart solution.

Why Choose Our Eco-Friendly Packaging Labels?

With consumers increasingly valuing sustainable practices, using compostable, food-safe labels demonstrates your commitment to both quality and the environment. Our packaging labels are made with compostable materials and printed using direct thermal technology, which eliminates the need for ink or toner. This not only simplifies the printing process but also reduces environmental impact.

Each label is BPA-free and safe for use on items that come into direct contact with food. This makes our labels ideal for small-batch producers, food brands, handmade product creators, and other businesses that operate under strict health and safety regulations. Whether you're labelling jars of honey, boxes of baked goods, or cosmetic containers, these labels support both presentation and compliance.

As an Australian-owned and operated business, we also focus on local production. Labels are printed and shipped from Melbourne, ensuring fast delivery and reliable support for businesses across the country. This reduces delays, lowers carbon emissions from international shipping, and supports the local economy, all while getting you your labels on time.

Design a Custom Label That Fits Your Needs

One of the primary advantages of our service is the ability to customise nearly every aspect of your label design. We understand that no two businesses are exactly alike, and one label format doesn’t work for every product or packaging configuration. That’s why we offer a flexible range of options, including different shapes, sizes, and background colours to ensure your label aligns with your brand’s identity and packaging needs.

Multiple Label Sizes and Shapes Available

Choose from a range of popular label shapes to match your packaging:

• Round labels: 50mm and 75mm
• Square labels: 50mm
• Rectangle labels: 32x50mm and 48x100mm
• Oval labels: 70x45mm

Each size is designed to fit common packaging formats like boxes, jars, bottles, pouches, and satchels. These dimensions are especially useful for businesses that need to maintain consistent branding across various product types and packaging sizes.

Choose from 5 Stylish Colours

To simplify the design process and avoid unnecessary ink use, our labels are printed in crisp black on coloured thermal label stock. Colour options include white, pink, blue, oat, and seafoam green. These colours provide a unique base for your branding while allowing your text and design elements to stand out clearly. The result is a professional label that reflects your brand’s values and aesthetic, without the need for full-colour ink printing.

Up to 4 Designs Per Roll

For businesses with multiple product variations, seasonal branding needs, or bilingual packaging requirements, printing multiple designs per roll is an efficient and cost-effective solution. We allow up to four different designs on a single roll at no extra cost. This means you can manage multiple SKUs, product flavours, or regional packaging requirements with one streamlined order, reducing both cost and storage complexity.

Packaging and Product Labels That Work With You

Our labels are designed with business owners and production teams in mind. They integrate seamlessly into standard operations without the need for special printers or setup processes.

No Ink, No Hassle – Just Direct Thermal Printing

Direct thermal printing is an efficient and reliable method that uses heat to create sharp, durable prints. This process eliminates the need for ribbons, toner, or ink cartridges, making it ideal for businesses that value simplicity and cost control. Our labels are compatible with most popular direct thermal printers, so you can integrate them into your existing workflow with minimal effort.

This also makes our labels an excellent option for fast-paced environments where equipment maintenance and consumable costs need to be minimised. Whether you’re producing small batches or running a larger operation, direct thermal labels provide consistency, speed, and professional-quality results.

Label Materials & Durability

Our labels are more than just sustainable, they’re also built to perform in real-world conditions. Our label materials are water-resistant and smudge-proof, providing durability for items that are refrigerated, handled frequently, or shipped over long distances. This ensures your branding and regulatory information stays intact and legible through every stage of the product journey.

Creative Uses for Custom Labels

Labels have evolved from simple identifiers to powerful branding tools. In today’s market, consumers appreciate packaging that feels intentional and cohesive. Our labels can help you deliver that experience across a variety of applications:

• Product branding on jars, tins, and pouches
• Ingredient labels for food or cosmetic products
• Shipping and handling instructions on mailers and cartons
• QR codes linking to care instructions, how-to videos, or promotional pages
• Limited edition or seasonal releases with unique designs
• Retail-ready barcodes and SKU identifiers
• Thank-you messages, loyalty incentives, or social media tags on e-commerce packaging

Our customers include boutique food brands, subscription box services, skincare and beauty companies, artisan makers, and e-commerce retailers. No matter your product, professionally designed labels elevate your customer experience and brand perception.

The Versatility of Labels for Every Product and Purpose

Labels do more than identify a product. They shape how that product is perceived. Whether you’re a boutique maker or a fast-growing e-commerce brand, having the right custom label options is essential to delivering a cohesive brand experience across your products and packaging.

One of the biggest advantages of using custom labels is their flexibility. You can tailor the design to suit everything from minimalist artisan aesthetics to bold, colourful branding. The right label not only communicates vital information, such as ingredients or instructions, but also helps your product stand out on the shelf or in a customer’s delivery box.

For those looking to streamline operations while maintaining a premium look, our print process simplifies the experience. We use direct thermal print technology to deliver sharp, high-contrast results on colored stock. No ink required. This approach reduces waste, lowers costs, and ensures each label is crisp, clean, and ready for application.

In addition to labels, many brands use stickers as part of their packaging experience. While similar, stickers are often used for decorative or promotional purposes, like adding a thank-you seal or a limited-time offer, whereas labels typically carry product or compliance information. With our service, you can combine both functions in one print run for a seamless and cost-effective solution.

We offer various label options in shapes, sizes, and background colours, making it easy to find the perfect match for your packaging needs. Whether you’re launching a new product, rebranding existing products, or updating your packaging for the season, we provide the tools and support to help you get it right.

FAQs About Our Packaging Labels

How do I make a packaging label?
You can design your label using any design software like Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop. Focus on key brand elements such as your logo, product name, required product details, and any compliance information. Be sure to consider how your design fits the shape and size of the label you've chosen.

What are the 4 types of product labels?
Generally, product labels fall into four categories: branding labels, informational labels (such as ingredients or usage instructions), promotional labels, and compliance labels (such as regulatory or nutritional information). You can use one label to address multiple purposes or layer different label types on your packaging.

What are labels in packaging?
Labels are informational or decorative stickers applied to the outside or inside of product packaging. They provide branding, instructions, product details, legal disclosures, and sometimes promotional messages. Labels are often the first visual impression a consumer has of your product, making their design and quality essential.

Is it cheaper to print your labels or buy them?
While printing labels in-house may seem affordable, it often requires investment in equipment, ink or toner, and design time. Ordering custom-printed rolls from a trusted supplier is generally more cost-effective, especially when printing larger quantities or multiple designs.

Are your labels waterproof?
Our labels are water-resistant, meaning they can withstand splashes, refrigeration, and light moisture. For environments with heavy moisture or freezing conditions, we recommend testing samples under your specific conditions to ensure suitability.
