The Product Changes What the Label Has to Do.

A label can look right and still be wrong for the product. The surface, environment, handling, information, and production requirements all affect what belongs on it and how it should be made.

labels in use

What Works on One Product May Not Work on Another.

The package, surface, environment, and way a product is used can change what the label needs from the start. These are some of the industries Cummins serves.

Labeled food and beverage packaging products in a real production setting

food + beverage

The Label Has to Live With the Product.

Refrigeration, freezing, moisture, handling, and the container itself can all affect material and adhesive choices before the label ever reaches the shelf.

Durable labels applied to industrial components and containers in a manufacturing environment

industrial + manufacturing

Some Labels Have to Take a Beating.

Chemicals, oils, abrasion, cleaning, outdoor exposure, and difficult surfaces can change what an industrial label needs to withstand and how long it needs to remain useful.

Professionally labeled medical and pharmaceutical packaging on a clean clinical workstation

medical + pharmaceutical

The Information Matters as Much as the Label.

Size, surface, identification needs, variable information, barcodes, QR codes, and production requirements can all shape what a medical or pharmaceutical label needs.

Professionally labeled health and beauty products photographed in a realistic product setting

health + beauty

Shelf Appeal Is Only Half of It.

Container shape, surface, moisture, frequent handling, product variations, and everyday use can matter just as much as how the finished label looks on the shelf.

new products

A New Product Doesn't Come With a Label Manual.

You may know exactly what you're selling without knowing the material, adhesive, printing method, or production details the label needs. That's normal information to work through as the product moves toward production.

Start with what you're labeling, how it will be used, the approximate size and quantity, and any different products or versions you need. Cummins can help work through the label requirements from there.

what the label has to handle

The Industry Doesn't Tell the Whole Story.

Two products in the same industry can still need very different labels. Where the label goes and what happens to it after application can change the material, adhesive, construction, and production requirements.

01

surface

Shape, material, texture, and surface condition can all matter.

02

environment

Temperature, moisture, chemicals, sunlight, and other exposure can affect the label.

03

use

Handling, movement, cleaning, storage, and everyday use can change what it needs to withstand.

04

production

Quantity, SKUs, artwork, size, and repeat order needs can affect the production path.

You don't need to know the material or printing method before you get started.
