Labels for preserves and food with custom die-cutting that follows the shape of the pack, and cold foil to give the design the shine of gold or silver.

A food label does two jobs at once: it sells the product on the shelf and it carries the information the regulations require. We make adhesive labels for preserves, oils, wines, cured meats, confectionery and any other food packaging, designed for the specific pack they will go on and the handling they will receive. They are one of the applications of our [printed adhesive labels](https://grafidel.com/en/services/printed-adhesive-labels).

## Die-cut to the shape of the pack

Not every label has to be rectangular. With a custom die, the label follows the outline of the pack or of the design itself: the curve of a jar, the shoulder of a bottle or a silhouette that identifies your brand at a glance. If the shape is very intricate or changes from one product to the next, [laser die-cutting](https://grafidel.com/en/services/laser-die-cut-labels) handles it without making a die.

## Finishes that stand out on the shelf

- **Cold foil** , to give the logo or a detail of the design the shine of gold or silver.
- **Paper or plastic** depending on the pack: paper for jars and tins, polypropylene for packs that get wet or are kept chilled.
- **Variable data** : a different number, batch or QR code on each label, with digital printing.

## Frequently asked questions

### What information does a food label have to include?

Whatever the regulations require for your product: usually the name of the food, the ingredients and allergens, the quantity, the batch, the best-before or use-by date and the company details. You decide the content; we make sure it fits and reads clearly.

### What if the product goes in the fridge or the freezer?

Then the adhesive matters as much as the design. For the cold, we have [freezer labels](https://grafidel.com/en/services/freezer-labels), with an adhesive that does not peel off at low temperatures or in damp conditions.

### Do you do short runs for a limited edition?

Yes. Digital printing allows short runs and lets you combine several designs in a single run. [Tell us about your packaging](https://grafidel.com/en/contact) and we will prepare a no-obligation quote.
