Before you start…

If you are new to buying or designing labels, there are questions that you might have. What are the best materials for my project? How should this label be best printed? What is flexography anyway? What is roll chart and why does it matter? At the MR Label Co., we will work with you to choose the best materials, ink systems, and print method for your application. First, we will need to know a few things…

How is the label being used?

What is it being applied to? Please be specific. ABS plastic, stainless steel, HDPE, etc.

Will the label be used indoors or outdoors?

At what temperature will the label be used? Perhaps, the label will go in a freezer or be applied to a motor that heats up to 300°F.

Are there any special requirements that will affect the performance of the label?
(Maybe the label is exposed to salt water, cooking oils, or harsh chemicals for instance)

What is the life expectancy of your product?

Are there any special certifications that we have to meet such as GHS, UL, or CSA?
Will you be printing on the label? If so, what is the print method? (laser, ink jet, thermal, dot matrix)

Is the label auto applied? If yes, which way does the label need to come off of the roll? Roll Chart.

Is there a similar label that you like? If so, we would love to see a sample.

Do you have artwork? Will we be creating the art?

What is the estimated annual volume?
