Labels for Special Purposes
An Overview of the Range of Specialist Labels
Some of our labels are customised masterpieces for outstanding products, while others are standard or designed for special uses. Here are just a few of the specialist labels we supply and how they can be used.
Tactile Triangle Labels
This involves printing a raised triangle onto a label. Labels with tactile triangles are used for labelling dangerous chemicals, which could include, for example, abrasive cleaning products or vape labels. If products are classified as toxic or flammable, then tactile triangles must be used to communicate to the visually impaired that the contents are harmful. Nowadays, many products are labelled with a tactile triangle including some aerosols and cigarette products.
Printed Barcode Labels
Most shops and businesses utilise barcode technology, so having a printed barcode label can be essential for sales, stock control and product identification. You can easily order barcode labels from inkREADible or have the barcode added to your existing label design.
Peel-And-Reveal Labels
Peel-and-reveal labels are versatile stickers with a top layer that can be peeled off to reveal additional layers. Also known as peel-off stickers, peel-and-reveal labels offer innovative solutions for packaging and promotions across various industries. They are increasingly popular for several key uses:
Labelling Small Containers: Ideal for limited space, these multi-layer labels allow for comprehensive information on small products, such as eye creams and lip balms and generally small vessels in the beauty industry.
Meeting Consumer Demand for Transparency: Consumers are increasingly seeking more detailed information on content including ingredient sources and production processes. Peel and reveal labels accommodate this demand, often giving a competitive edge.
Enticing Customers: The top layer can feature eye-catching designs to grab attention, while additional layers provide detailed information, enticing consumers with a bold first impression.
Complying with Legislation: In the food and nutrition sectors, strict labelling laws require specific information. Peel and reveal labels keep this information organised and confined to a part of the container only, rather than using the whole surface of the container which looks less pleasing aesthetically.
Multiple Languages: For international sales, peel-and-reveal labels can include multiple languages, simplifying stock management.
Competitions and Promotions: These labels are excellent for promotions, allowing unique codes to be printed and hidden under the top layer. This method is effective for contests, discounts, and other promotional activities.
QR Code Stickers and How to Use Them
If you want to actively engage more with your customers and expand your digital marketing, then QR code stickers are a cost-effective route to do just that. Use QR code stickers to enhance customer experience, share information, and increase brand awareness and loyalty, all very simply and cost-effectively. QR code stickers offer powerful omnichannel marketing, reaching current and potential customers effectively. Here are some key benefits:
Link to a Website: QR codes on products can direct customers to your website, providing unlimited information beyond the label. This includes communicating your brand values, showing product creation processes, offering recipes, and sharing ideas. Updating web content at any time is an added advantage.
Connect to Social Media: QR stickers can link to your social media, encouraging likes, follows, and shares. This builds consumer relationships, trust, and loyalty, offering dynamic interaction that traditional advertising lacks.
Encourage Feedback: QR code stickers can direct customers to online forms or surveys for feedback. This method allows quick action on feedback and control over its visibility.
Eliminate Counterfeiting: QR code stickers are effective for authenticating products, particularly for clothing and alcohol brands. Each QR code links to a unique serial number, helping combat fake goods.
Guerrilla Marketing: Distribute QR code stickers to create excitement for events like music venues or cinema openings. Stickers can reveal launch dates, secret venues, or exclusive invitations, generating buzz.
Alternative to Peel and Reveal Labels: QR code stickers provide extra information or translations without the additional material and cost of peel-and-reveal labels, making them an eco-friendly option.
