Made for packaging worth showing off

Clear labels are a great choice when you want your packaging to do some of the talking. With a transparent background, your design looks almost as if it's printed directly onto the surface. No white edges or unnecessary distractions, just your artwork and the product underneath.

From colourful drinks and skincare to candles and food jars, clear labels work with all kinds of packaging. Keep things minimal or go bold with your design. Either way, you get a clean, polished look without hiding what's underneath.

Choose clear labels if you...

  • Want the product itself to be part of the design

  • Sell drinks, preserves or skincare in glass or clear plastic

  • Like a clean, minimal look on the shelf

The result depends a lot on the packaging and what's inside it, so a label sample pack is a good place to start.

  • Laminate: protects the label from water, oils and scratches

Psst! Go for a matte laminate if you want a frosty look.

Make the most of transparency

Clear labels give you plenty of freedom to play with your design. You can let the packaging show through, highlight certain details, or combine both for a look that feels like it's printed directly onto the surface. It's all about finding the right balance between your artwork and what's underneath.

One thing to keep in mind is that colours can look different depending on what you're sticking your labels onto. Dark bottles, colourful liquids, and lighter surfaces can all affect the final look. For designs that need a little more contrast, white ink can help keep colours vibrant and details sharp.
