Custom Printed Labels

At Custom Tape Ltd, we specialise in custom printed labels and adhesive stickers designed to showcase your brand with clarity and quality. Whether you need product labels, personalised stickers, or custom label printing for retail, packaging, or industrial use, our team delivers precision printing across a wide choice of durable materials and finishes.

Why Use Paper Labels?

Paper labels are one of the most commonly used types we supply. They’re cost-effective and perfect for indoor or short-term applications. Common uses include:

  • Mailing and address labels
  • Food packaging for dry goods
  • Retail pricing and promotions
  • Office and admin use

You can choose between uncoated, semi-gloss, and high-gloss paper depending on the look and feel you’re going for.

Application Methods

Our custom printed labels can be applied by hand or with a machine. For automated application, we’ll make sure the labels are formatted correctly for your equipment. Labels can be supplied in the orientation and roll size you need for smooth operation.

Sustainable Labelling Options

If you’re looking to reduce environmental impact, we offer:

  • FSC-certified paper labels
  • Compostable and biodegradable materials
  • Recyclable backing sheets
