In food service, retail, and kitchen storage, containers come in many shapes—plastic boxes, glass jars, paper trays, freezer bins—and labels must stay put through handling, condensation, and temperature changes.
As a label printing factory, we help you choose the right combination of material and adhesive for your container’s surface and use conditions. Our labels are clear to read, resistant to peeling, and tailored to your product or process.
