We understand that this is a difficult idea to grasp because stickers and labels come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. We have a lot of experience printing stickers and labels, so we can assist you to figure out what you need.
Our website offers a variety of options for you to choose which adhesive item you want, such as bottle labels for your wines, craft brews, and bottled waters. We also have alternatives to assist you in deciding which labels you need for candles, food, or freezer labels, but we understand that when time is of the matter, you don’t want to be trapped deciding which material to use.
With that in mind, here’s a cheat sheet to help you figure out which label to use and why. You’ll find all of the options in the drop-down menus on the stickers or label pages you’re interested in, so you should be able to quickly discover what you’re looking for and place your purchase.
Stickers for freezers include the following:
Q) What kind of sticker do I need for frozen goods such as handmade ready dinners, ice cream tubs, or pouches? I don’t want my product to appear shoddy since the labels are peeling away.
A) Don’t worry, Polypropylene is what you’re looking for. This all-purpose material is available in gloss white, clear, or metallic silver and can endure temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stickers that are waterproof:
Q) What should I get if I require a waterproof sticker that will endure a long time?
A) Polypropylene or polyester is what you’re looking for. These come in a gloss white, translucent, or metallic silver finish. They may be used both inside and outside, which comes in useful on a rainy day. If you need a luxury label that can withstand being submerged in icy water, such as on a wine bottle in a cooler, our white waterproof hammered paper is the best option.
Labels for food safety:
Q) What do you have for labels that won’t rip off my ambient goods packaging?
Jar labels are perfect for manual labelling at a reasonable cost. https://www.theprinthive.co.uk/product-category/shop-by-product/stickers-and-labels/
Natural Grease-proof Paper features a protective layer that repels grease and stink, making it ideal for use on food packaging and oily/fatty goods.
Low-cost, all-purpose option: “best buy label” This is plain paper with no frills. Not waterproof, but perfect for pricing, promotions, and handcrafted trinkets.
Labels for takeout that won’t smudge or peel:
Q) I’m looking for write-on stickers that won’t smudge when I use a marker for hot takeaway containers. What do I require? They must be food-safe in the UK and able to handle heat and moisture.
A) Please offer us your phone number so that we may place an order and assist you if needed! But what you really want is natural greaseproof paper, which is easy to write on and has a protective layer.
Countless labels in a variety of styles:
Q) I need a lot of stickers, yet the designs are divided into several sets; how do I go about getting them all?
A) That’s easy for us; you simply order a set of each design. If you want many designs on one sheet, our custom sheet stickers are a good option because they give you the freedom to create the entire thing. This is the place to go shopping.

Vinyl isn’t just for records anymore…
Q) Is it true that vinyl stickers block out whatever is beneath them?
A) Partially, but not entirely; however, if your designs use a dark backdrop colour, such as navy blue or black, it should be fine.
