Bakery & Confectionery Labels

Labels and seal stickers for cake boxes, cookie bags, chocolate wrappers and sweet jars. Constructions that hold on kraft and coated board, resist butter and sugar, and keep ingredient and allergen text legible on small labels.

  • Cake boxes, kraft bags, cellophane and film bags, jars, tins and wrappers
  • Grease-resistant films and varnished papers for buttery and sugary contents
  • Seal stickers, round labels and shaped stickers for packaging and gifting
  • Ingredient, allergen and best-before areas on small labels

Tell us the container, the conditions and the line; we propose the construction and confirm it with samples.

Challenges

Problems we solve in bakery & confectionery

What bakeries and chocolatiers ask us to solve.

Challenge

Butter and sugar stain paper labels

Uncoated labels on cookie bags and cake boxes mark within hours.

What we do: coated paper with a gloss or matte varnish, or a film face stock for direct contact with greasy packaging; samples on your bag or box.

Challenge

Stickers lift on kraft and textured board

Kraft boxes and paper bags reject standard adhesives at the edges.

What we do: high-tack adhesive on paper or film, tested on your box; seal stickers sized so edges do not overhang corners.

Challenge

Allergen text on a tiny label

Ingredients, allergens and dates have to fit a label the size of a coin.

What we do: minimum type sizes checked at proofing, coated stocks that keep fine text sharp, and a layout we help you fit.

Challenge

Chilled display and condensation

Labels on cold desserts and cakes go soft and slide in the cabinet.

What we do: film face stock with a cold-use adhesive for anything stored or displayed chilled.

FAQ

Questions about bakery & confectionery labels

See All FAQs
Which sticker closes a kraft cake box without lifting?
A paper or film sticker with a high-tack adhesive, sized to the box. We send samples to apply on your box and check after a day.
Will the label stain from butter?
Varnished coated paper or film resists grease marks. Uncoated papers mark; we show both in the sample pack.
Can allergen text fit on a small label?
Yes, within minimum type sizes we check at proofing. We help you lay out ingredients, allergens and dates so they stay legible.
Can I add dates myself?
Yes. A writable or thermal-printable zone is left clear so dates can be added at packing.
