A good label does a lot of quiet work. It tells shoppers what’s in the jar. It puts your logo on every box that leaves your door. A well-made sticker can even turn a happy customer into a walking billboard.
Atlantic Printing & Design has printed labels and stickers for local businesses since 1989. We work with makers, retailers, restaurants, schools and nonprofits across Ocean and Monmouth County. Bring us a finished file or a rough idea. We’ll help you choose the size, material and finish, then print it in-house.
Labels and Stickers We Print
Most label projects fall into a few familiar groups. Here’s what customers ask us for most often.
Product Labels
Jars, bottles, candles, soaps and sauces all need a label that fits and stays put. We’ll help you size the label to your container. Then we’ll match the material to how the product gets used. Kitchen, shower and fridge products need something that handles moisture and oil. Small-batch makers can start with a short run and reorder as sales grow.
Cafes and juice bars rely on labels for grab-and-go food. A wraparound label can carry your logo, the item name and ingredients. It can also hold allergen notes and certifications. Plus, the label seals the container, so customers know nobody has opened it.
Custom Die-Cut Stickers
Die-cut stickers are trimmed to the outline of your logo or artwork. They’re a favorite for giveaways, laptops, water bottles and merch tables. We can also print kiss-cut sticker sheets. Those hold several designs on one backing, which makes them easy to hand out.
Roll Labels
Rolls make sense when you’re applying labels by the hundreds. They’re faster to peel than sheets and work with many label dispensers. Ask us about roll labels when your quantities climb or your packing line gets busy.
Sheet Labels
Sheet labels suit shorter runs and mixed designs. You can fit several flavors or scents on one sheet and peel them by hand. This is a smart way to test a new product before committing to a big order.
Shipping, Address and Packaging Labels
Branded labels make plain boxes and mailers look finished. Popular options include return address labels, box seals and branded shipping labels. Pair them with our custom packaging services for a complete unboxing experience.
Vinyl Stickers and Decals
Vinyl holds up outdoors, so it’s the go-to for bumper stickers, car decals and equipment labels. Contractors put them on hard hats, tool boxes and trailers. For larger storefront lettering, see our sign printing services.
Event and Promotional Stickers
Stickers are one of the cheapest ways to spread your name at an event. Schools use them for spirit days, and nonprofits hand them out at fundraisers. They also work well as party and wedding favors. Combine them with our branded promotional items for a full giveaway table.
Choosing Materials and Finishes
The right material depends on where your label will live. Here are the options we recommend most:
- White paper: affordable and sharp, best for dry, indoor products and mailing.
- White vinyl or film: resists water and oil, good for bath, kitchen and cold storage.
- Clear film: gives a “no label” look on glass and colored bottles.
- Kraft paper: a natural, handmade feel for candles, coffee and baked goods.
- Metallic or specialty stocks: extra shine for cosmetics, gifts and merch.
Finishes change the look and the lifespan. Gloss makes colors pop. Matte feels soft and modern, and it cuts glare under store lights. A laminate adds protection from scuffs, water and sun. Not sure what you need? Send us a photo of your container, and we’ll make a recommendation.
How to Order Custom Labels
Start with size and shape. Measure the flat area of your container where the label will sit. Next, count how many labels you need and how many versions. Then tell us where the label will end up, such as a shelf, a fridge or a truck bumper.
Finally, send your artwork. A vector file keeps small text and logos crisp at any size. Our guide to vector files explains why. No artwork yet? Our graphic design and prepress team can create a label from your logo and a few notes. We check every file before it goes to press, so small problems get caught early.
A Local Alternative to Online Label Printers
Ordering labels online often means guessing at color and size. When the box arrives, the label may not fit your jar. With a local shop, you can talk to a real person and look at material samples. You can also fix problems before the full run prints.
Food trucks, bakeries and farm markets across the Jersey Shore use our labels for pricing, ingredients and takeout. Boutiques use them for tags and bags. Many of our jobs are ready in 24 to 48 hours. Share your deadline up front, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
Label and Sticker Questions
Order sizes vary by format. Short sheet-label runs work well for testing a new product. Larger runs usually lower the cost per label. Call us with your quantity, and we’ll suggest the most cost-effective option.
Vinyl and film labels with a laminate hold up well to water, ice and sun. Paper labels are best for dry, indoor use. Tell us where the label will be used, and we’ll match the material.
Yes. Many makers need the same layout with different flavors, scents or names. We can set up each version so they print together. Our printing FAQ covers files and turnaround in more detail.
