Cosmetic and perfume labels

Labels for jars, tubes, bottles and perfume flacons

We are a direct European manufacturer of cosmetic and perfume labels, based in Wrocław, Poland. We have been printing for businesses since 2000.

We print self-adhesive labels for skincare jars, tubes, dropper bottles and soaps, and for perfume flacons and fragrance oils. A label can have any size and any shape: we cut it to the outline you draw, round, oval, with cut corners or following the curve of your logo.

You can order the label together with the box. Printed from the same design in one printing house, the label on the jar and the box around it keep the same colours.

Quantities and lead times are agreed in the quote – tell us roughly how many you need and we will price a few options. We deliver to businesses across Europe and reply in English.

Finishes that make a label look premium

  • Gold or silver hot foil stamping, and foils in other colours
  • Cold foil
  • Spot UV varnish on the name or the logo
  • Gloss, matt or soft-touch lamination
  • Embossing on request

Foil is chosen from a swatch book of numbered colours, so the gold you approve is the gold you get. Spot UV is kept back from the cutting edge of the label. Soft-touch gives a velvety surface and costs more than standard lamination.

Label materials for creams, oils and perfume

  • Self-adhesive paper – for products that stay dry
  • Self-adhesive kraft paper – a natural, uncoated look
  • Textured (ribbed) self-adhesive paper – a surface you feel when you pick up the jar
  • Self-adhesive film – water-resistant, for the bathroom and the shower
  • Synthetic paper – does not tear, resists water and grease

Creams and oils are opened with wet or greasy fingers. For labels that get wet or greasy we recommend water-resistant film or synthetic paper; plain paper is for products that stay dry. If the product is kept in the fridge or in a damp room, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will choose the material for that.

Labels that match your cosmetic boxes

We also make cosmetic boxes and perfume boxes. When the label and the box come from one design and one printing house, the colours line up and the gold on the jar matches the gold on the carton, because both carry the same foil.

For the same line we print hang tags, cardboard sleeves for sets and paper bags for your shop. One enquiry, one invoice and one delivery for the whole range.

FSC-certified paper and board available on request.

One shape, many scents

A fragrance line or a range of creams usually shares one label shape, with a different name, colour or ingredient list for each product. We print all the versions in one order, on one cutting die, and pack them by variant as agreed. Adding a new scent later means a new design on the same shape.

Room for the INCI list, batch and expiry

A cosmetic label has to carry a lot of text in little space: the ingredient list, volume, warnings, a barcode and often several languages. We lay the text out so the front stays clean, and you check the legibility of the small print on the proof before anything is printed.

For the batch number and the expiry date we leave a blank field that you fill in on your line, or we print consecutive numbering for you. EAN barcodes are printed as part of the design.

What we need for a quote

  • Container type and size, or the label size in mm and its shape
  • Material, if you already know it
  • Print colours and finishes (foil, spot UV, lamination)
  • Number of designs and the quantity of each
  • Delivery form: cut singly, on sheets or on rolls
  • Delivery country

A photo of your jar or bottle, or of the label you use now, is a good start.

How an order works

  1. Send us the label size or the container, the approximate quantity, the number of designs and the delivery country. Artwork can be a print-ready file, a draft or a photo.
  2. We reply in English with a quote, which sets the quantity and the lead time.
  3. Payment is by bank transfer, usually in EUR – against an invoice with a payment term or in advance against a pro forma invoice.
  4. You approve the proof; on request we print a sample digitally first.
  5. We print, finish and cut the labels and pack them by design.
  6. Delivery by courier or freight forwarder, in parcels or on pallets.

Cosmetic and perfume labels: questions buyers ask

Can you match the gold on the label to the gold on the box?

Yes. When we print both, we pick the same foil from the swatch book for the label and for the box, so the two golds match on the shelf.

Which material for labels in the bathroom or on oily products?

Water-resistant self-adhesive film or synthetic paper. Both cope with water and greasy fingers better than paper. Paper labels are best on products that stay dry.

Can each fragrance or product have its own label in one order?

Yes. One shape, as many designs as you have products, printed in one run and packed by design.

Can you print the full ingredient list in small type?

The ingredient list is part of the design we set. You check the small text on the proof; if it is hard to read, we change the layout or enlarge the label before printing.

Can you design the label for us?

Yes. Our graphic design is complimentary – send us your logo, the texts and a photo of the container.

Do I see the label before the run?

Yes. You approve a proof, and on request we print a sample digitally so you can put it on your jar or bottle before the run.

What quantities do you print?

The quantity is set in each quote. Tell us the number of designs and roughly how many of each, and we will price a few options. We keep a database of cutting dies; if one fits your shape, you do not pay for a new one.

Do you also supply the jars, bottles or atomisers?

No. Containers come from your container supplier. We print what goes on them and around them: labels, boxes, inserts and sleeves.

Do you deliver labels outside Poland?

Yes, to businesses across Europe, by courier or freight forwarder. Shipping is part of the quoted price.

What artwork do you need?

A PDF in CMYK with 2 mm bleed, fonts and logos converted to curves, and the cutting outline on a separate layer if you have it. A draft is enough to start; we prepare the print file and you approve it.

How do invoicing and VAT work?

We sell to businesses only, by bank transfer and usually in EUR, against an invoice with a payment term or a pro forma invoice. No card payments. With a valid EU VAT number from another EU country, the invoice is issued without Polish VAT (intra-Community supply).
