I Need A Custom-Shaped Label - Can You Help Me?Absolutely! We specialize in find that right label for your packaging. We would like to discuss your label needs prior to quoting. In fact, we would like to see a sample of your bottle if we could. We definitely want to make sure you are getting the right product for your application.
-
What Are Your Terms?For blank labels, payment is due at the time of the order. We do provide net-30 terms, however, that is for repeat business and would need a credit reference.
-
Is Shipping included?No, shipping will be added to the invoice. We default to FedEx and offer ground, 2-day, and overnight shipping.
-
What Is The Minimum Quantity Of Custom Product Labels I Can Order?For blank stock, there is a minimum order of one case. Note that this quantity is in the description of the item as it is different for each product. For custom printed labels, the minimum is 100 labels per version ordered. For fabric labels, the minimum is 500 labels. Note that as you order more product, your price per label goes down. This is because there is some waste generated while setting up the printers and presses. This waste is created if you are doing 100 labels or 100000 labels. The more you order, the more savings per label you receive.

Are Your Labels Suitable For Frozen Products (Such As Ice Cream Or Frozen Foods)?Our high quality BOPP labels with Permanent adhesive are an excellent choice when applied to the product container at room temperature and allowed to “set” prior to being placed in a freezer. It is important to understand that temperature (and moisture) are likely to affect initial adhesion. The Permanent adhesive used on most of our labels performs in a service temperature range from -40F to +175F degrees and has a minimum application temperature of +25F. However, it’s not a good idea to apply our labels to products that are already frozen (which can have ice and/or condensation on the surface that will adversely affect the adhesion) – make sure your containers are dry and clean before applying the labels, preferably allow 30 minutes for the adhesive to bond to the surface, and then freeze the product. While there are specialty freezer-grade adhesives designed for application to already-frozen surfaces, they’re very rarely used by our customers at Wizard Labels and we don’t see enough demand to carry them. So… order our free sample pack, cut the samples if necessary to fit your product, apply them, and see what works for your product. Again, testing is the best way to check how your labels will perform in unusual conditions. Happy labeling!

What Does "Thermal Transfer" Mean On Product Labels?“Thermal Transfer” printers use special ribbons with colored ink that gets melted by the printhead in the chosen areas and the ink “transferred” to the material being printed on (hence the name). This technology is often used by customers wishing to “overprint” product labels with variable data (such as expiry dates, lot numbers etc). In such cases, they leave a space in the label design specifically for this purpose – we print the main part of the label with all the fancy graphics etc and the customer then adds the variable content at a later time.
-
What Does "Unwind Direction" Mean When Ordering Product LabelsUnwind Direction (sometimes also called Wind Direction) refers to the orientation of the labels as they come off of the roll (i.e. as you unwind the roll of labels). The label industry has developed standard descriptions for the various unwind directions to avoid any confusion. For example, Unwind Direction #1 (Top Off First) indicates that the top of the label will be the leading edge when the roll is unwound. Unwind directions are often not very important if the intention is to hand-apply the labels to your products, but they become critical if your labels are applied by machine – so the products and the labels are aligned correctly. Unsure how your printed labels on a roll should unwind? Contact us and we’ll be happy to help!
