In an extremely competitive and oversaturated market where products fight for consumers' attention, food labels represent the first point of contact between products and potential buyers. In a landscape dominated by quick and impulsive choices, food labels must catch the eye, spark interest, and inspire trust.
People shop with their eyes first, and this phenomenon is especially evident in the food industry, where packaging and food labeling play a crucial role. Choosing food label designs that grab attention is essential for capturing consumer interest. Whether it’s used for labeling meat products, eggs, milk, chocolate, or bread, the food label can decisively influence purchasing decisions.
A food label prepares the consumer for the experience that follows opening the packaging. Moreover, the food label reflects the quality and value of the product, becoming an element that can move products from store shelves directly to consumers' tables. Therefore, it is vital for food labels to be both attractive and high-quality. For optimal results, partner with a custom label manufacturer who understands the specifics of this industry and creates food labels tailored to your product needs.
All food products need labels, don’t they? No matter which store you enter, you’ll notice food product labels everywhere: from jar labels – such as pickle jar labels, jam jar labels, compote jar labels, zacusca jar labels, spice jar labels, honey jar labels, and jam labels – to labels for canned goods, ketchup labels, deli labels, salami labels, cheese labels, sandwich labels, sugar labels, oil labels, pastry labels, biscuit labels, syrup labels, yogurt labels, and many more.
A crucial factor in forming the first impression and a key differentiator on store shelves, the food product label is a valuable source of information for consumers and a real opportunity for companies to contribute to the commercial success of their products.
When your products compete for buyers' attention alongside major brands, innovative personalized labeling solutions are the most reliable way to ensure they make it into shopping carts.
Creating suitable food labels for the labeling of products across all branches of this sector requires not only an awareness of trends but also a deep understanding of the food industry's needs for packaging and labels that can withstand specific challenges.
For the proper customization of food labels, selecting the right materials, adhesives, and printing and finishing technologies is essential. These elements contribute to the creation of food product labels that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
For example, a food product label, such as a milk label, a frozen meat label, or a salami label, must withstand difficult conditions. It needs to adhere perfectly to various surfaces (plastic, glass, paper) and perform well in humid, frozen, or high-temperature environments.
Whether in the refrigerator, on a store shelf, or on the consumer's kitchen table, a food product label must convey quality and trust.
Labeling food goods requires durable types of food labels that can withstand the specific challenges of the industry. These labels must maintain their flawless appearance, without signs of degradation, especially before the food exceeds its expiration date.
A food product label that becomes wet, shifts, shows scratches, or has colors that bleed can compromise the readability of the information on the label and the overall appearance of the product. Such issues can lead buyers to doubt the freshness and quality of your products.
There are no food labels that are handled gently. The wear and tear caused by transportation, storage, and frequent handling, contact with other products or grease and leaks from packaging, temperature changes, or freezing can impact the performance and durability of the label. These issues are particularly evident when the materials and adhesives of a food adhesive label are not suited to the specific storage, exposure, and usage conditions of the product.
Labeling food products requires solutions tailored to each specific situation. For products intended for the freezer, it is essential to use freezer labels with adhesives resistant to sub-zero temperatures. In high-humidity environments, such as refrigerators, it is important to use fridge labels or water-resistant labels that maintain their clarity. These solutions ensure that food product labels remain easy to read and legible, regardless of the conditions.
For reusable packaging, special adhesives allow labels to be removed without leaving residue, providing a practical and sustainable solution.
At Grafoprint, we create high-quality food labels tailored for labeling food products across all sectors of the industry.

We create customized food labels in any shape or size, ideal for manual or automatic labeling on any type of packaging or surface. We offer label printing solutions that work on a variety of surfaces, including glass, plastic, metal, or ceramic, as well as for vacuum-sealed products or flexible packaging with incredibly diverse application surfaces.
For efficient use, our labels are compatible with any label printer, including thermal printers, thermal transfer printers, laser printers, or inkjet printers.
We understand that the food industry is highly competitive and that meeting deadlines is crucial. Delays can be costly, and the pressure to deliver products on time to retailers' shelves is even greater when dealing with perishable goods. That's why we ensure that the packaging and labeling process runs smoothly, providing you with the labels you need exactly when you need them.
While market rules and trends constantly evolve, Grafoprint remains a label printing company dedicated to providing top personalized solutions, staying up-to-date with the latest industry innovations.
We specialize in high-quality custom printing of food product labels using a flexible combination of UV flexo and digital equipment, with roll-fed input and output. We can print on the back of the material, across its entire surface, or perform partial adhesive neutralization.
We adapt to any specific request, positioning ourselves among the most trusted suppliers of personalized food labels in Romania. With a strong focus on quality, we offer various combinations of materials and adhesives suitable for labeling food products and packaging, meeting the highest performance standards.
We provide you with a team specialized in product label design, offering you complete graphic services that are implementable and verified with our production department.
Our over 30 years of experience gives us deep insight into labeling solutions, and we understand the needs, goals, and challenges specific to each area we serve.
With our finishing and customization solutions, we elevate a food product label to the next level, giving it an exclusive look and a striking visual impact. To truly make your products stand out, we offer complex solutions that go beyond the limitations of an ordinary food label.
Our advanced production line enables the integration of the most sophisticated processes, from embossing and metallic foil applications to special textures and tactile prints. Through our customization services, we ensure that every food label truly reflects the character, quality, and uniqueness of your product.
Through the digital printing process, we can customize each label individually with unique texts, numbers, codes, or designs, ensuring that no two labels are identical.
Incorporating variable elements into your label designs creates a differentiation factor between your product and the rest on the shelf, allowing you to address buyers directly and establish an emotional connection with them by appealing to their personal values.
The more a buyer identifies with the story that includes your products, the more likely they are to purchase them.
Remarkable results are achieved by personalizing and targeting campaigns, promoting limited edition products, or adapting label designs to specific regions and interests.
Embossing is a sophisticated process used to raise specific elements of a label's design through controlled pressure. By deforming the material, height differences are created that generate a subtle play of light and shadow, attracting attention and inviting touch. This adds a tactile dimension to the label and gives it a sophisticated and exclusive overall appearance.
Embossed labels highlight the complexity of the design, suggesting an attention to detail that increases the perceived value of the product, something that certainly sparks buyers' interest.
Embossing can be done on a wide range of special materials, and for an added touch of refinement, this process can be combined with hot foil stamping.
Metallic foil visually replicates the shine of a particular metal, such as gold, silver, copper, or bronze.
The distinct and elegant sheen of labels containing metallic and reflective elements contributes to a premium perception of the products, increasing their attractiveness and perceived value.
When integrated into the design on a dark background or combined with other embellishment methods such as embossing or screen printing, the result is truly spectacular, capturing the interest of even the most sophisticated buyers.
Buyers can be attracted not only by the appearance but also by the attention to detail and the pleasant tactile sensation your product labels offer. By providing shine and volume to desired details through screen printing, tactile varnish adds a new dimension to the labels that can be explored through senses other than just visual.
Screen printing, a sophisticated printing technique, allows the precise transfer of varnish onto the label's surface through a screen with perforations only in the areas corresponding to the graphic elements.
This technique is ideal for sophisticated design concepts, creating a label that not only stands out visually but also offers a memorable tactile experience for buyers.
To extend the lifespan of your labels, ensuring shine and color intensity, preventing fading due to sun and moisture exposure, and protecting them from moderate wear, we can coat the printed material with a protective varnish. Just like sunscreen protects our skin from burns, varnishes harden instantly under UV light and create a protective shield.
More related to the function of the labels than their aesthetics, varnishes can be matte or glossy to complement the most standard types of materials. Applying a matte varnish is recommended on a matte material, giving the labels a discreet and elegant look, while on a glossy material, a glossy varnish will be applied to highlight the colors and shine of the labels.
In addition to their essential role in protecting labels, varnish coatings contribute to creating a visual effect when applied only to certain design components, thereby adding depth and shine to the labels.
Due to the contrast and visual differences that appear between the application areas and the rest of the label, selective varnishing is one of the most intriguing embellishment methods available.
Depending on your preferences, you can choose between a glossy finish for more vibrant colors, matte for added elegance and refinement, or satin for a subtle shine.
The quality of your labels reflects the quality of your products, so it's important to ensure that your products look great on store shelves. Frequent handling, moisture, or contact with various chemicals can lead to the wear and degradation of labels, severely affecting your brand image.
The process of laminating product labels is a technique used to enhance their appearance and durability. By applying a thin film of plastic material over their surface, a protective layer is created that offers superior resistance and an exceptional look to the labels.
Just like protective varnishes, lamination is available in glossy or matte finishes. However, due to the added thickness to the printed material, it creates a refined-premium effect and a distinctive shine that varnishes cannot replicate.
To fully exploit the potential of a label, we offer a wide range of printing options, so in addition to classic front-side printing, we can also print on the back of the labels.
In this way, an apparently simple bottle can have a modern, remarkable design, or in the case of smaller packaging, you can double the information display space on the same surface..
Back printing opens up a range of entirely new aesthetic and functional possibilities, especially for transparent containers:
– No need for a back label: applied to a transparent container, the label is visible on both sides.
– Spectacular visual effects through the combination of a front label and a back label applied to a transparent container.
– The adhesive used can be removable, allowing the label to be peeled off and the information on the back to be read.
Does your product or its packaging have a special shape, with unique angles and contours? Is the label design complex, and do you want to complement the graphic concept with a distinctive die-cut shape to make your product stand out?
Or perhaps none of the over 4,000 die-cut shapes in our library meet your specific needs, and you want a customized solution with an interior cutout that allows the product to be visible in a unique way.
While most products found on store shelves have standard labels that are often square, round, or oval, we promise that this is not a rule that limits your die-cutting options to common and ordinary shapes.
Get the exact number of labels you need, exactly when you need them. We work with businesses of all sizes and understand how crucial the flexibility of custom print runs can be.
Flexible runs are perfect for seasonal products, marketing campaigns, promotions, or limited-edition product launches. They enable quick testing of new products, reduce the risk of unnecessary inventory, and promote sustainability by minimizing waste and environmental impact.
We know that the success of your products depends on how quickly they reach the market.
