Custom Labels FAQ
Expert answers on materials, formats, waterproofing, food safety, and pricing.
What are custom labels?
Custom labels are printed adhesive labels made to your artwork, size, and shape for applying to products, bottles, jars, boxes, and packaging. They come on rolls (for applicator machines) or sheets (for hand application), in paper or waterproof synthetic (BOPP) materials with gloss, matte, clear, kraft, metallic, or holographic finishes.
What is the minimum order for custom labels?
Cubit prints custom labels from 500 units on sheet and specialty labels, and 1,000–2,500 on roll labels — low enough for product launches and small-batch runs. Prices tier down steeply at 5,000+, 10,000+, and wholesale volumes.
How much do custom labels cost?
Custom labels range from $0.04 per unit for simple barcode/shipping labels at volume to $0.55 for NFC smart labels. A standard 2×3" waterproof product label at 1,000 units typically runs $0.08–$0.15 each, dropping under $0.05 at 10,000+. Request a quote for exact pricing.
Are your labels waterproof?
Yes — our BOPP synthetic labels are fully waterproof, oil-resistant, and tear-proof, so they survive fridges, freezers, ice buckets, and washdowns without peeling or smearing. Paper labels are for dry indoor use. Tell us the environment and we'll match the material and adhesive.
What's the difference between roll labels and sheet labels?
Roll labels come wound on a core for use with label applicator machines or fast hand application — ideal for production volumes. Sheet labels are pre-cut on flat sheets for small-batch, hand-applied runs where you don't have an applicator. Same materials and printing; the format matches your fill process.
Can I get custom-shaped labels?
Yes — labels can be die-cut to any shape: circles, ovals, rounded rectangles, or fully custom contours to match your bottle or brand. Send artwork with a cut line or use our free design studio to add one.
Do you offer food-safe labels?
Yes. We offer FDA-compliant food-safe label materials and adhesives for direct and indirect food contact, including freezer-grade adhesives for cold products and oil-resistant films for kitchen and bath products.
How fast can I get custom labels?
Standard production is 7-12 business days with free USA shipping. Rush turnaround is available. Digital proofs arrive within 24 hours, and our AI design studio generates print-ready label files with cut lines and variable data instantly.
