printing labels and labels for tapered containers
I am currently looking into labels and packaging. I would love advice regarding the following two points:
I will be selling products in standup pouches and plastic 8-oz and 32-oz containers. I am looking for labels that are full color, 6x9 inches (for the pouch), round w/ 4-inch diameter (for the lids of the containers), and of undetermined sizes for the front and back of the 32 -oz container.
- What can I expect to pay? I have been advised that I should get labels printed instead of printing them myself. However, most places seem to be charging an arm and a leg. I got some quotes for the 6x9 label and the vast majority were over 50 cents a piece. This is way to much for me, as I want my product to be relatively inexpensive. I`m in contact with one local place that might be able to do it cheaper. Any advice about where to find a place that will print relatively small quantities of labels cheaply would be appreciated.
- The containers are slightly tapered, which makes the labeling really tricky. I think for the 8-oz container, I might only use a label for the lid, but I need instructions for the 32-oz, so somehow I need to get the labels on the sides of the containers. Currently, my best idea is to just use smaller labels that I would have otherwise for the front and back of the container and hope that it`s not too obvious that it doesn`t line up well with the bottom/top of the container. Any other advice??
Thanks!
