Product Labels
Getting your products noticed on crowded shelves starts with the right label. Poor quality product labels peel, fade, and send entirely the wrong message about what’s inside the packaging. At Positive ID Labels, we manufacture premium product labels from our packaging label range that look professional, last longer, and help your brand stand out from the competition.
First impressions count. When customers pick up your item, the product label is often the first thing they see. A crisp, vibrant label suggests quality and care. A scuffed or faded one suggests the opposite.
Why Professional Product Labels Matter for Your Business
Beyond aesthetics, product labels serve essential functions. They communicate ingredients, usage instructions, safety warnings, and compliance information. They carry barcodes for retail scanning and batch codes for traceability. Every detail matters, and every detail needs to print clearly and remain legible throughout the product’s lifespan.
We understand these demands. Our Derby-based manufacturing facility produces product labels for businesses across the UK, from artisan food producers to multinational manufacturers. Whatever your sector, whatever your specifications, we have the expertise to deliver.

Custom Labelling Tailored to Your Requirements
No two businesses have identical needs. A luxury cosmetics brand requires something very different from an industrial lubricant manufacturer. For brands seeking bespoke branded packaging, our custom private label service delivers exactly that. That’s why we offer fully customised product labels in virtually any size, shape, material, and finish.
Our digital printing capabilities include:
- Xeikon dry toner technology printing at 1200dpi for exceptional detail on premium papers — ideal for artisan foods and luxury beverages
- Screen UV inkjet printing at 600dpi for cost-effective production on papers and plastics like polypropylene
- Jetrion laser die-cutting for custom shapes and short experimental runs
Whether you need waterproof labels for bathroom products, oil-resistant labels for automotive fluids, or freezer-grade labels for chilled foods, we select the right materials and adhesives for your specific application.
Materials and Adhesives for Custom Labels
Choosing the correct substrate determines how well your labels perform in real-world conditions. We work with:
- Paper stocks: Gloss, matt, textured, and uncoated options for general indoor use
- Synthetic materials: Polypropylene and polyester for moisture resistance and durability
- Specialist films: Clear labels for the “no-label” look, metallic finishes for premium appeal
- Eco-friendly options: Recyclable papers and biodegradable adhesives for sustainability-conscious brands
Adhesive selection is equally important. Permanent adhesives ensure labels stay put throughout the product lifecycle. Removable adhesives allow repositioning or clean removal — essential for reusable containers. High-tack formulations bond to textured or challenging surfaces. We guide you through these choices to ensure perfect results.
Fast Turnaround and Reliable Label Delivery
Speed matters in business. Missed deadlines mean missed opportunities, delayed launches, and frustrated customers.
Most of our product labels ship within 3-5 working days. Our central England location means efficient distribution nationwide, with most UK addresses receiving next-day delivery once dispatched. Need labels urgently? Call us on 01332 864895 to discuss expedited options.
