What affects the price?

- Material. BOPP (water/oil resistant film) for cosmetics and food. Poly for industrial and freezer-safe. Paper for shorter shelf life.
- Shape and size. Standard rectangles and circles are cheapest. Custom die-cut shapes add tooling cost.
- Quantity. Per-label cost drops sharply at 500 and 1,000+.
- Adhesive. Permanent (default) or removable for retail and promotional applications.
- Turnaround. 7-10 business days standard. Custom dies may add 2-3 days for tooling.

FAQs
Roll vs sheet labels — which should I pick?
Rolls are the standard for product labeling on bottles, jars, and packaging — they feed into label applicators and are sold by the linear roll. Sheet labels are easier for hand-applied stickers, mailings, and inventory tags. Most CPG brands order rolls.
BOPP vs poly vs paper — which material?
BOPP is a clear or white film, water and oil resistant — the default for cosmetics, food jars, and beverages. Poly is heavier-duty, freezer-safe, and stands up to outdoor exposure. Paper is the cheapest and best for short-shelf or non-wet products.
Do you charge extra for die-cut shapes?
Custom shapes (circles, ovals, custom dies) are configurable on the product page. Most standard shapes are included; complex custom dies may add a one-time setup fee.
Is shipping included?
No. Roll labels are light and ship inexpensively. Long Island customers can pick up in Huntington for free.
How long until I get my labels?
Most label orders ship within 7-10 business days of proof approval. Custom dies may add 2-3 days for tooling.
