Food Labels
Food labels serve a number of purposes for the company and consumer, such as marketing, product awareness and vital ingredient listing.
Food labels need to be durable to ensure they retain a professional aesthetic especially due to the fact that varied temperatures and constant handling of most food products.
Choosing the right food label
Cost – what is your budget for the required quantity of food labels?
Storage – will the products be stored in a high-temperature environment or freezer for any period of time?
Timing – how long will the product be stored?
Handling – will the product be subjected to quite rough handling at any stage?
Types of Food Labels
Polyester food labels – The climate-resistance makes them a prime choice for any food products with extended shelf life, and the added benefit of PET is that it is both flexibly and fully recyclable
Vinyl food labels – In addition to climate, vinyl can also endure UV, chemicals and moisture, while also being an extremely flexible material, making it suited to products that are irregularly-shaped.
Polypropylene food labels – If you need a durable food label that won’t be exposed to extreme heat, then polypropylene is the ideal material. Paper food labels – paper is not the most durable material when it comes to food labels, however, it can be strengthened using certain coats.

Barcode Labels
Barcodes are required on products sold by retailers and distribution centres. A barcode will host a variety of information about a product including price, country of manufacture, PLU code, whether the product is organic and much more. It is therefore vitally important that a barcode does not fade or smudge and that the barcode label itself is correctly affixed to the product with the correct adhesive.
The Importance of Barcode Labels
Barcode labels are created so that each product can be tracked correctly throughout the distribution channel. These barcodes are received from the Global Standards Organisation or GS1, an organisation which guarantees that every asset, service or location can be identified across the globe. Many retailers penalise manufacturers if their barcode labels are below GS1 standards and it is therefore very important that barcode labels are printed correctly and adhere to all standards enforced by GS1. Megaprints Labels has more than 60 years experience in manufacturing and printing barcode labels in order to meet the GS1 requirements.
Megaprints Labels can provide high quality, GS1 standard labels for almost any sector. Megaprints Labels also has many years experience in supplying retailers and distribution centres with labels for use on their products.
What Questions to ask a Barcode Label Manufacturer
Bearing the above in mind, it’s important to partner with a label manufacturer that understands your industry and product. Questions such as “Have you produced labels for my industry before?” “How many years experience do you have in manufacturing labels” as well as “Can I speak with one of your clients that you produce labels for on a regular basis?” These are all questions that will help you to identify whether you have chosen the right label manufacturer or not.
