Tips for Choosing Custom Printed Labels

With the wide variety of printer labels available, it’s quite easy to design printed labels for your business and art projects on your desktop computers, but it may not be the best choice for your business. If you require identical printed labels in large quantities, for labeling products, perhaps, or for brand identification, ordering custom printed labels offers a number of distinct advantages to printing your own.

- Custom printed labels look far more professional and give a more polished appearance.
- Custom printed labels are often less expensive when you count in the cost of the printer toner or ink and the labels themselves.
- You’ll save time – which adds up to money – by freeing up your office staff from the time-consuming chore of printing labels when you choose to order custom printed labels rather than printing your own.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right custom printed labels so that you get the best value for your money.

1. Ordering custom printed labels in larger quantities will almost always save you cash. If you require more than 1,000 of the same label, ring up a customer service representative for the printing company and ask about volume pricing.
2. In most cases, you’ll be able to print in 2 colors on a custom printed label before incurring a premium for adding color.
3. If you require full color printing, shop around for a custom printed label supplier that offers process four color labels at no extra charge.
4. Measure twice, order once. Always request a proof copy of your custom labels to make sure that they’re the right fit for your product.
