Matte
White Blank labels with a matte finish are also available in rolls of 1000 or in printable bulk sheets on lacontainerstore.com
Step Four: Label Placement
Labels are generally shipped on rolls, unfixed to the containers, so customers can apply the labels to their plastic containers at their own leisure.
Contract packaging is available for an additional fee where we can assemble your product for you
With contract packaging, labels will be placed by customer specification on the top, bottom, side, or inside the lid of the container by our staff.
Labels can also be placed based on exact customer specifications. This means a label can be placed facing the same direction and in the same location on every container. EXAMPLE: Label ends must be on the back of the container underneath the hinge.
If interested in contract packaging, please let your customer service representative know when you are ordering labels.
