Which stock should I choose for a water bottle label?
For water bottle labels, choose white synthetic or clear synthetic. White synthetic is a plastic face stock, and clear synthetic is a transparent plastic face stock. Unwind direction is set at proofing so the roll feeds correctly into your applicator or hand dispenser.
How do these labels hold up in normal use?
White and clear synthetic labels are water-resistant and suit fridge, cool room, bath, and short-to-medium outdoor exposure. Once bonded, white synthetic holds minus 20 to 80 degrees Celsius and clear synthetic holds minus 40 to 120 degrees Celsius. Chilled and frozen retail storage is fine when the label goes on at room temperature. We do not recommend any stock for dishwasher cycling.
What should I check on the digital proof before my labels print?
Every order receives a digital proof before printing. You sign off on color, sizing, cut path, panel layout and copy before the job goes to press. RGB files are converted to CMYK for press, and any color-shift risk is flagged on the proof. The pre-press team confirms the shape on the proof before printing. Your order includes two rounds of revisions.
Which laminate or finish should I choose for my labels?
Choose matte or gloss laminate on white cast paper or white synthetic, depending on the sheen you want. Clear synthetic takes a gloss varnish to keep the transparent look. Foil labels use a silver metallic film for a reflective finish. The stock choice comes first, then the finish sits on that face stock.
Which label shape suits a bottle?
Rectangle or oval labels are the standing choice for a bottle label. Both wrap around the bottle profile, and the label roll format with unwind direction set at proofing suits hand application or semi automatic and automatic applicators. Choose Rectangle Labels for a full wrap or Oval Labels for a curved label face.
How do I choose a label size for a small bottle or closure?
Preset sizes run from 30 mm to 150 mm across the range, and square presets are the same figures as circle diameters up to 100 mm. For a small bottle or closure, start with a 30 mm, 40 mm or 50 mm preset. If none of those fits, any size not listed is a custom size quoted by email to printshop@paperlust.co.
What should a first time business decide before ordering?
Decide the face stock, shape, size and finish first. White cast paper is a paper face stock, white synthetic is a plastic face stock, and clear synthetic is transparent. Matte or gloss laminate applies to white stocks, gloss varnish applies to clear synthetic, and foil is silver metallic film. The roll format is fixed at 500 labels per roll on a 76 mm core.

What This Custom Label Range Covers
This custom labels range covers printed labels for product packaging, closure details, and bottle wraps, with the shape and stock chosen to fit the surface. The range is built for short runs and repeat work alike. All labels in the range are product labels supplied on a roll, so the same artwork can be applied repeatedly across a run. The range spans paper and synthetic face stocks, transparent material, and a metallic film, which means the decision is less about finding a single label and more about matching the face stock and shape to the job. A compact round mark, a full wrap, and a custom silhouette all come from the same roll-based workflow.
Choosing a Shape and Product
Start with the silhouette. Custom Cut Labels follow the artwork outline as the label shape, so the cut path becomes part of the design. Circle Labels suit a compact brand mark or closure detail, and Square Labels offer a block format for the same kind of compact use. Rectangle Labels and Oval Labels are the standing choices for bottle labels that wrap around the product. Rounded Corner Labels soften a rectangular package. Each shape is available as a separate product line, so the choice can follow the package profile rather than forcing the artwork into a stock format.
Material, Finish, and Exposure Choices
Stock is the first material decision. White cast paper is a paper face stock, while white synthetic is a plastic face stock; both carry matte or gloss laminate. Clear Labels are made from clear synthetic, a transparent plastic face stock with a gloss varnish, and read as transparent on glass. Vinyl Labels are made on a white synthetic plastic face stock for a durable white field. Foil Labels use a silver metallic film for a reflective focal point. White and clear synthetic labels are water-resistant and suit fridge, cool room, bath, and short-to-medium outdoor exposure. Once bonded, white synthetic holds a service range of minus 20 to 80 degrees Celsius and clear synthetic holds minus 40 to 120, so chilled and frozen retail storage is fine, provided the label goes on at room temperature and not onto an already-frozen container. No stock in the range is recommended for dishwasher cycling. Physical sample packs of common label substrates are available on request for first-time orders or large-volume tenders, so you can compare face stocks before a full run. For premium retail launches, a small physical proof run is worth considering before the full retail quantity, especially when silver metallic film or specialty finishes are part of the spec.
Sizes, Quantities, and Custom Cutting
The minimum order is one roll of 500 labels per design and per size, which keeps short runs practical without setting up a separate process. Preset sizes across the range run 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 75 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm. Square presets are the same figures as circle diameters up to 100 mm. Any size that is not listed is a custom size, quoted by email to printshop@paperlust.co; no upper or lower bound is published for custom sizes. The shape you see on screen is confirmed by the pre-press team on the digital proof before printing, so the cut path is locked before the run starts.
Artwork, Proofing, and File Setup
Once you place your order and upload artwork, the pre-press team prepares a digital proof within one to two business days so you can check size, color, and layout. The order includes two rounds of revisions, and printing begins only after you approve the proof. You sign off on color, sizing, cut path, panel layout, and copy before the job goes to press, which sets the file setup for the run. RGB files are converted to CMYK for press, and any color-shift risk is flagged on the digital proof. Work that uses silver metallic film takes 4 to 5 working days after proof approval, and the exact timeline is confirmed on the digital proof before printing.
Roll Format and Application Setup
Every label is supplied as roll labels, one up, 500 labels per roll, on a 76 mm core. The core size is the practical detail: it suits hand application and semi automatic or automatic applicators without a separate conversion step. Unwind direction is set at proofing, so the label feeds the right way for the line or the bench. Because the roll is one up, each label is identical in position and orientation from the first pull to the last, and the same roll can move from a hand-applied trial to a production line.
Trades, Bottle Uses, and Cold Storage
Water bottle labels on white or clear synthetic are ordered by cafes, event teams, and small-batch beverage producers for drinks that move from a bench into a cool room or fridge. Bath and body makers choose the same synthetic stocks for packaging that sits in humid bathroom storage. Short-to-medium outdoor exposure also fits the synthetic range, so the same roll can carry a product from a cold case to an outdoor stall.
