We have printed labels for food and drink businesses for over 40 years and print every order in house. That matters when your jar label has to be legible and on the shelf before your next production run.
Food grade labels are printed on materials and with inks that suit food packaging. Certified papers, food safe films, low-migration inks, matched to whether the label touches the food directly or sits on the outside of the pack. Nothing transfers to what you sell. Nothing interferes with the aroma, the flavour or the finish of the product.
The range covers ISEGA-certified papers, food-safe polypropylene, clear films and foils. Short runs for farm shops and market stalls. Long runs for retail listings. Fast turnarounds and competitive pricing.
A food label works harder than most print. It has to survive the chiller, the freezer, a sticky hand and a supermarket shelf, and still read cleanly at arm’s length.
Stock circular sizes cover jar diameters from around 40 mm to 100 mm, with custom shapes cut to your artwork. Labels wrap around curved glass with a slight overlap, so the design still reads when the jar is turned on a shelf. We specify a moisture resistant face stock and a permanent adhesive that grips glass without sliding during application.
Oil, vinegar and hot sauce punish paper fast. Food safe polypropylene and clear film keep the print sharp through drips, splashes and repeated handling, and an oil resistant adhesive stops the edges creeping.
Takeaway boxes, catering trays, deli tubs and meal prep containers all need labels for food containers that sit flat on a flexible lid and peel cleanly when the pack is opened. Specify a removable adhesive for batch stickers and a permanent one for retail packs.
Bakery labels need a natural finish and room for a handwritten date. Deli and butcher labels need grease resistance, which is where polypropylene earns its keep.
Don’t leave your reputation to chance. We manufacture millions of tamper proof seals every year. Whether you need a standard adhesive label solution or a custom designed security label, we have the experience to deliver.
Get A QuoteThe material determines how a label behaves in a chiller, a freezer, a display cabinet and a customer’s hand. We hold stocks for every one of those conditions.
Our ISEGA-certified papers give a natural, tactile finish for artisan, bakery and deli packs. Food safe polypropylene labels are waterproof and hard wearing, they handle condensation in chilled cabinets, drips on sauce bottles and the steam around a hot counter.
Clear, transparent food labels let the product do the talking while the copy appears to float on the surface.
Gold, silver and holographic foils lift gourmet food labels, honey, preserves and hamper packs, and foil blocks light, which helps with oils and dressings in clear bottles.

A UK food label needs the food name, ingredients list, allergens emphasised in bold, net quantity, best-before or use-by date, storage conditions, and your business name and UK address. Nutrition information is required in most cases.
