Practical labels for cosmetics, tailored to your needs
Cosmetic labels play an essential role in the highly competitive cosmetic and beauty industries, where products need to catch the target audience’s eye. As such, we use state-of-the-art printers, materials and inks to ensure your cosmetic labels are of superior quality. You can also get your stickers made in any size or shape, from 20mm circles to nearly 300mm squares. We even have an in-house design team available to create designs for you, or we can use templates of your own choosing.
Cosmetic product labels also need to be durable and long-lasting, as cosmetics are often exposed to water, tough chemicals and regular handling. We recommend ordering your printed cosmetic labels on our
polypropylene plastic (PP) material with permanent adhesive, and adding matt or gloss lamination. Although laminated PP labels are more expensive than unlaminated paper labels, they are also completely waterproof and impervious to peeling or fading.
How our labels are used
Cosmetic labels are as wide-reaching and versatile as the products they’re applied to. These state-of-the-art, fully personalised cosmetic labelling stickers are designed to be used by anybody who manufactures, distributes or sells beauty and self care items.
You could, for example, add cosmetic labels to your latest range of shampoos and shower gels. Their waterproof nature means your products can live in wet showers and bathrooms without the print job running or the label falling off.
Our cosmetic and beauty labels can be applied to products containing abrasive substances like alcohol, acetone and/or essential oils, too. The lamination makes them oil- and chemical-resistant, so any spilled residue can be wiped off without affecting the print quality.
You can even use our cosmetic labels on lip balm, hand lotion and other personal care items that tend to be used multiple times a day. The added lamination will keep the information legible, while the high-tack adhesive will keep the labels firmly attached to their surfaces.
