Custom label printing

The Right Label Starts With the Right Fit.

Every label project is different. Quantity, application, materials, artwork, and production requirements matter. Tell us what you're working on and we'll help determine what makes sense for your project.

START WHERE YOU ARE

Not Every Label Project Starts From Scratch.

You might be building a label from scratch, looking for a new supplier for something already in production, or trying to fix a label that isn't doing its job. Wherever the project stands today, give us what you know and we'll take it from there.

01

New Product

Launching something new?

Start with the product, package, artwork, or even just the idea.

Professionally labeled unbranded products in a production setting (existing product label project)

02

Existing Product

Already in production but need a new label, an update, or a different supplier? Start here.

Multiple identical rolls of finished labels on a rewinder/workbench (reorder or repeat project)

03

Reorder / Repeat

Know what you need and ready for another run? Send us the details of the existing label and what you need next.

Label Problem

Adhesion, durability, print quality, supply, timing. If something isn't working, show us what's going on.

HOW WE PRINT

The Project Determines the Process.

A smaller run may call for a different production approach than a large repeat order. Materials, application, artwork, quantity, and how the finished label will be used can also affect how it's produced. Cummins has multiple ways to print and finish labels, so the project helps determine the process.

Digital Printing

Built for Flexibility

Digital printing can make sense when quantities are smaller, versions change frequently, or a project doesn't justify traditional plate setup. It's also useful when you're managing seasonal labels, multiple SKUs, or artwork that may change each run.

flexographic printing

Made for Production

As quantities grow, flexographic printing can offer a more efficient production path while supporting demanding color and material requirements. Cummins Label's 10 color flexographic capability is built for larger and repeat production runs.

finishing + materials

More Than Ink on a Roll

Foil, embossing, specialty stocks, substrates, and adhesives can change how a label looks, feels, and performs. The right choices depend on the product, surface, environment, and what the label has to do once it's applied.

The printing method is a production decision, not something you need to figure out before getting started.

where labels work

The Environment Matters.

A label on a refrigerated bottle faces a different job than one attached to industrial equipment. Surface, moisture, temperature, handling, exposure, and shelf conditions can all affect what belongs on the product. That's why application matters just as much as the appearance.

Food + beverage

Packaging that may face refrigeration, moisture, handling, and changing storage conditions.

Personal care product being handled with a blank label (moisture/handling).

Health + personal care

Products where the shelf appearance, brand presentation, packaging, and frequent handling can all matter.

Industrial equipment with a durable blank identification label (industrial use).

industrial + Manufacturing

Labels used for identification, instructions, tracking, or other functional needs, not just presentation.

Consumer packaged product with a clean blank label (shelf/handling conditions).

consumer products

Labels that have to work on the package while clearly presenting the product, brand, and information customers need to see.
