This is a substrate that is very popular for wine bottle labels, natural or organic product labels, and gourmet food labels.

This is a rough textured paper, and has a very distinguished and different look than a standard paper.  This material must be coated to prevent the ink from rubbing off. To achieve a matte, textured look, use the Matte UV varnish with this material. Being a paper stock, it's not as water-resistant or durable as BOPP, but its light cream color and textured feel add a touch of the "unusual" to the right product. This features a permanent adhesive that is strong enough to stay on a product for years, but also can be removed without problems.  This stock is perfect for specialty products and is more expensive than some of our standard stocks.  But it will give your product packaging and product label a very high-end look.

Vector Graphics typically are generated using drawing or illustration programs such as Adobe Illustrator and are comprised of line segments whose length represents magnitude and whose orientation in space represents direction.  Vector graphics usually are easily modified within the creating application and generally are not affected detrimentally by scaling and are typically are saved as EPS format.  This makes vector graphics the best way to go when creating a design for your custom labels. Usually you will need to have vector art created by someone with Illustrator or a professional graphic designer.  Then the vector artwork can be scaled up or down with out losing quality and would enable smooth transition regardless of the label size.

Rasterized Images are produced by either image developing software such as Adobe Photoshop or digital cameras or scanners.  Raster images are composed of bitmap of digital picture elements, otherwise known as pixels or squares or rectangles that make up an image. Raster images typically are saved as TIFF, JPEG or even PSD files.  These types of artwork can work in some instances when printing your custom label but in others they will not work.

It is very simple to convert from vector art to rasterized art but it is nearly impossible to go the other way without recreating a file completely.  Our highly qualified art department can create a custom label design or even alter your current label artwork and can tell you if the file you have for your label artwork will work with the project you are trying to achieve.

We have several customers who request special shaped labels for a variety of reasons whether it be for a specific package,

like a wine bottle, or a starburst shaped label specific to the design they are looking for. Some customers request a size that we do not have in our inventory of current sizes, and therefore require a special tool. We have the ability to order custom tooling specific to your needs. Basically all you have to do is send us your artwork and pay for your custom tooling up front. The die can cost from $350 and up (depending on size and shape) and is a one time charge on top of the cost for the first run of labels.

If you do not want to pay for the custom size you can choose from our large stock of sizes and even stock special shape labels. We can even print your custom shape on a clear label so it looks as if the design has been printed right on your product.

We have several customers that have switched from at home printing to having their custom professional labels printed with yourlabelsnow.com.  When you purchase labels to print on your printer at home the materials, adhesives and the print quality will never compare to professionally printed digital labels. 

Most materials that labels you would purchase are made of are not waterproof and most of the adhesives are not strong enough to stay on products.  When thinking about labeling a product you must have the right material or the label could peel off, tear or even smear.  Yourlabelsnow.com provides several label material options perfect for any application and every product.

Yourlabelsnow.com has the highest end HP indigo digital printing press, so the quality is unparallel to the quality you may get off your at home printer.  With high end graphics and sharp colors and text your label will really stand out from your competition.

One of the best features of an HP digital press is that there are no plates to be made and no setup charges. 

So digital press printed proofs are a service that yourlabelsNOW.com can provide.  We provide you with a proof directly printed from the press and is an exact representation of color.  When printing custom digital labels with yourlabelsNOW.com everything runs full color or 4 color process.  So when trying to achieve a specific Pantone color the press will print as the process equivalent.  For more information on the art design and color questions visit our artwork help page.

So what does this mean on your next project?  If you are trying to achieve a specific color on your professional custom label we would suggest a digital proof ($50) as opposed to our standard electronic PDF proofs.  This way you are certain that the color you are looking for is what you are going to be receiving on your labels.  For questions or to get a quote please call one of our customer service reps on your next digital label project.
