How to Order Custom Labels
Follow the steps from your first enquiry to approved artwork, production and delivery. Each stage identifies what you provide and what we confirm, so the order progresses with a clear specification.
| Step | You provide or approve | We review or confirm |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Enquiry | Product, size, quantity and any artwork or existing label. | Missing requirements and a suitable material or production route. |
| 2. Quotation | Required quantity per design and delivery requirements. | Label specification, price basis, tooling, sample costs and proposed timing. |
| 3. Proof & sample | Artwork approval and any agreed sample checks. | File corrections, colour reference, construction and roll or sheet format. |
| 4. Production & inspection | Final specification and order requirements. | Production schedule and checks against the approved job. |
| 5. Packing & dispatch | Delivery address and agreed shipping arrangements. | Packing, shipment details and order identification. |
Start With the Information You Have
You do not need to know the exact material name to enquire. Send a photo of the container or current label, the size, quantity per design and intended use. Include exposure to moisture, oils, chemicals, temperature or outdoor conditions where relevant.
Approve the Specification Before Production
- Confirm the final artwork version, text, dimensions and orientation.
- Agree the material, adhesive, white ink and finishing layers.
- Approve the required proof or sample; test a new construction on the intended container.
- For machine application, confirm roll core, maximum diameter, winding and sensing requirements.
Agree the Sample Plan
A PDF proof helps confirm layout and copy. Digital or production-process samples may be used to review the material and appearance. Sample type, quantity, cost and timing are confirmed before preparation. Where colour, foil, texture or opening behaviour is critical, agree how the physical result will be approved.
Production, Inspection & Packing
The approved specification guides printing, finishing and inspection. Rolls or sheets are packed to the agreed requirements. The production route depends on material, quantity, dimensions and finishing complexity.
Lead Times, Minimum Quantity & Repeat Orders
Minimum order quantity and production timing depend on the material, dimensions, number of designs, finishing and schedule. Share your target date at enquiry. We confirm sample preparation, production and transport timing separately.
Artwork approval, special material sourcing and tooling can affect the schedule. If specifications change after approval, we review any effect on cost and timing before proceeding. For repeat orders, provide the previous order reference and identify any changes.
