industries
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

beyond the four above
Cummins works with labels across a wider range of products and applications.
What the label needs to do usually matters more than the category the company fits into.

what the label has to handle
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
Shape, material, texture, and surface condition can all matter.
02
Temperature, moisture, chemicals, sunlight, and other exposure can affect the label.
03
Handling, movement, cleaning, storage, and everyday use can change what it needs to withstand.
04
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.
Share what you're making, how the label will be used, how many you may need, and whatever else you already know.
Cummins Label will review the details and follow up from there.
