Custom Product Labels
Custom product labels printed with your brand mark, ingredient panels, nutrition facts and scannable barcodes to turn blank jars, bottles, cans, tubes, tins and pouches into retail-ready goods. Order machine-ready rolls, kiss-cut sheets or single pieces in any dimension. Starting at 500 labels in 10-14 business days (rush in 4-5), with free design help, zero die charges and free US shipping.
What are custom product labels?
Custom product labels are primary packaging labels applied directly to the vessel that holds your goods, such as a glass sauce jar, cosmetic dropper bottle, beverage can, lotion tube, candle tin or stand-up coffee pouch. Unlike simple promotional stickers, a product label does two jobs at once: the front principal display panel catches the shopper's eye with your logo, product title and net weight, while the side or back information panel carries dense ingredient lists, nutrition tables, usage directions, batch codes and retail UPC barcodes. You can print all of that information on a single 360-degree wrap-around label, or split it across a front brand badge, a back data label and a round lid seal. At CubitPack, custom product labels start at 500 units and ship free to all 50 states in 10-14 business days, with zero die fees.

Every custom product label is cut to your exact width × height in inches (or circle diameter) with no die charge. Measure only the flat panel or the straight vertical cylinder wall between the top shoulder and bottom heel, and subtract ¼ inch so edges never wrinkle on a curve. Whether you are comparing product labels for jars and bottles, retail product labels with barcode, multi-sku product labels, product labels with logo or branded product labels, we size the template to your exact container.
| Label size (W × H) | Shape | Common containers | Best format |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.75 × 3.75 in | Rectangle wrap | 1 oz (30 ml) serum dropper bottles, essential oils, tincture vials | Roll |
| 2 × 2 in | Circle or square | Jar lid tops, candle bottom warning labels, small balm tins | Roll or sheet |
| 2.25 × 4 in | Rectangle or oval | 8 oz mason jars, hot sauce bottles, salad dressings, spice jars | Roll |
| 3 × 4 in | Rectangle | 12 oz coffee bags, stand-up snack pouches, 9 oz candle tumblers | Roll or sheet |
| 3.5 × 5 in | Rectangle wrap | 12 oz and 16 oz beverage cans, protein tubs, large hair-care bottles | Roll |
Suggested label size: 9⅛ × 2¾ in (width × height)

Request a Quote →How do I choose product labels?
- Measure the straight printable zone on your containerHold a flat ruler against the side of your bottle or jar and measure only the straight wall before the neck or base curves.
- Decide between a 360° wrap and front-plus-back panelsOne wrap label applies in a single motion on round jars; separate front and back panels suit flat-sided bottles and flexible pouches.
- Keep shared dimensions across all your SKU flavors or scentsDesigning every flavor, scent or shade at the exact same width and height lets you group multi-SKU runs cleanly.
- Orient barcodes for curved vs flat containersOn narrow bottles under 2 inches wide, rotate the UPC barcode 90 degrees (ladder style) so the curvature never distorts the outer bars.
- Match stock and finish to filling, storage and useTell us if your container faces hot-fill lines, ice buckets, fridge condensation, bathroom steam or body oils on the quote.
- Check small ingredient text on your free digital proofUpload your artwork or AI concept and our prepress team checks font legibility, bleed and barcode contrast before you pay.

What are the most common custom product label mistakes?
Most product label reprints happen when a wrap hits a curved bottle shoulder or a barcode fails at retail checkout. Avoid these five mistakes. When specifying wholesale product labels, bulk custom product labels, personalized product labels, custom size product labels and jars, sauces, honey product labels, avoid these common production mistakes
- Measuring total bottle height instead of stopping ¼ inch inside the straight vertical wall, which makes edges wrinkle on the shoulder.
- Placing a wide horizontal barcode around a narrow 1 oz dropper vial where cylinder curvature hides the outer bars from scanners.
- Designing a 360-degree wrap with zero gap between the ends; molded glass varies slightly, so leave a ¼ inch gap.
- Using a different label size for every flavor or scent SKU when one shared size would streamline setup and machine changeover.
- Forgetting to tell your account manager if containers go through hot-fill lines, ice buckets or oily bath environments.

A US business you can checkProduct labels questions
Should I use one wrap-around product label or separate front and back labels?
On round jars, cans and dropper bottles, a single wrap-around label is faster to apply by hand or machine because you only align one piece per container. Separate front and back labels work better on flat-sided flasks, square jars, stand-up pouches, or clear glass jars where you want the product visible on the sides.
How do I measure my bottle or jar for a custom product label?
Use a flat ruler to measure only the straight vertical wall between the top shoulder curve and the bottom heel, then subtract ¼ inch. For a full wrap on a round container, multiply the diameter by 3.14 (π) and subtract ¼ inch so the ends do not overlap.
Can I order multiple flavors, scents or product SKUs in one order?
Yes. In Step 2 of the quote form, select 2 designs or 3+ designs and list your SKU names and quantities in the notes. Keeping the exact same width, height, shape and material across every variant lets us quote the entire product line together.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom product labels?
Our standard minimum is 500 product labels. If you are testing a small pilot run for a new product launch, ask your account manager and we will review it case by case. You can request up to three quantity tiers on the quote form.
Should I order custom product labels on rolls or flat sheets?
Order roll labels if you are labeling 100+ containers at a time or using a tabletop dispenser or automatic labeling machine. Order kiss-cut sticker sheets if you label small batches by hand or want a front label, back label and lid seal grouped on one card.
Which way should a barcode face on a small round bottle?
On narrow round containers under 2 inches in diameter (like 1 oz dropper bottles or beverage cans), rotate the UPC barcode 90 degrees so the bars run horizontally like ladder rungs. That keeps the container curve from distorting the outer bars when scanned.
Are your product labels waterproof and oil-resistant for bath or kitchen use?
We offer clear and foil label stocks along with protective matte and gloss finishes, and additional film and paper stocks are being finalized. Note on your quote if your product faces oils, refrigeration or shower moisture.
Do custom label shapes or rounded corners cost extra?
No. CubitPack never charges die or plate fees. You can order rectangles with rounded corners, circles, ovals, squares or a custom die-cut contour that follows your brand crest at no additional tooling cost.
How long do custom product labels take to print and ship?
Standard production takes 10-14 business days after you approve your digital proof and 3D mockup and complete payment. Rush production in 4-5 business days is available for urgent launches. Standard shipping to all 50 US states is always free.
Can you match my product label colors to my custom retail boxes?
Yes. Because we produce custom boxes, pouches and product labels under one roof with your dedicated account manager, we print your labels and cartons to the exact same Pantone (PMS) color code, backed by our Pantone match guarantee.
