Roll labels are custom labels wound onto rolls, the format built for production: they feed label applicator machines, dispense one after another for fast hand application, and keep thousands of labels organized and clean. We print them in full color in custom sizes and shapes, from small round seals to tall bottle wraps, and run quantities from short artisan batches to high-volume production runs.
Material is the key decision. Paper labels are crisp and economical for dry, indoor products. BOPP film labels resist water, oil, and moisture, which makes them the standard for food, beverage, and cosmetics. Poly labels add extra durability for demanding surfaces. We also offer optional white ink printing, which keeps your colors opaque and accurate on kraft and colored stocks. First Press prints in Montreal and ships across Canada, with free ground shipping on orders over $200.
Roll labels carry the branding for candle jars, sauce and preserve jars, beverage bottles and cans, cosmetics containers, soap and bath products, coffee bags, spice tins, supplement bottles, and shipping stations. Quebec food producers and makers selling at markets often start with a few hundred labels per SKU, then scale the same artwork to machine-applied volumes as the product takes off.
Match the material to the product's life. Anything refrigerated, oily, or used near a sink, such as sauces, drinks, cosmetics, or soap, should be on BOPP. Paper is perfect for dry goods like coffee, tea, and boxed products, and it pairs beautifully with kraft textures.
Measure the container before designing. Wrap a strip of paper around your jar or bottle to confirm the label height and circumference, and keep at least 0.125 in of clearance from curves, shoulders, and seams where labels tend to wrinkle.
Prepare files in CMYK at 300 dpi with 0.125 in bleed beyond the cut shape. If you are printing on kraft or a colored stock, flag which areas need white ink underneath so we can build the white layer correctly.
As a rule of thumb: BOPP for anything wet, oily, chilled, or handled often, including food, beverage, and cosmetics; paper for dry indoor products and a natural, premium feel; poly when you need maximum toughness. If you are unsure, tell us the product and we will recommend a stock.
Choose roll labels when you are labelling many identical products, since rolls work with applicator machines and are much faster for hand application on a filling line. Choose individually cut stickers for handouts, swag, and mixed small batches where speed of application is not the bottleneck.
On kraft or colored stocks, inks are translucent, so a white logo would disappear and colors would shift muddy. A white ink layer printed under your artwork keeps colors opaque and true while letting the kraft texture show wherever you want it.
Our label stocks are suitable for the outside of food packaging such as jars, bags, and bottles. For direct food contact applications, tell us about your use case and we will confirm an appropriate material.
Always supply a print-ready PDF with at least 1/8 inch (0.125 in) of bleed on every side and crop marks included, built in CMYK. Keep important text and logos at least 1/8 inch inside the trim line so nothing is cut off. If you are not sure how to export it that way, our file preparation guide walks through the exact settings for Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Word. Prefer to design it yourself? Use the personalization option in the upload section to build your artwork right on the page before you order.
