Cosmetic Labels are custom adhesive labels for beauty and skincare products, die-cut to any shape and printed in full color so your jars, bottles, and tubes carry a finished, retail-ready face. They turn stock containers into branded SKUs without the cost of custom molds.
Because you control the die line, a label can hug a curved dropper bottle, wrap a lip balm tube, or sit clean on a flat cream jar lid. Clear stock makes a serum look like the formula floats on the glass, while a tight ingredient panel keeps you compliant without crowding the front. Indie brands and contract fillers use these to launch a full line fast and reorder single SKUs as they sell through.

Printing & Finishing
Print full-color CMYK on white for bold color, clear for a no-label look, or kraft for a natural feel. A matte laminate softens the surface and resists fingerprints, gloss makes color pop, and a clear laminate adds scuff and moisture resistance for products that live in a bathroom.

Label Facestock and Adhesive Across Volume Tiers
Cosmetic labels fail in two places: the facestock and the adhesive. Clear or white BOPP film survives bathroom humidity and oil contact far better than uncoated paper, which is why most skincare lines specify film. Adhesive choice depends on the container, since squeezable tubes and curved droppers need a more aggressive formulation than a straight walled jar.
| Labels ordered | Facestock and adhesive guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Application test on your real container batch. |
| 500 | One facestock and adhesive across a single SKU. |
| 1,000 | Multiple SKUs ganged onto one press run. |
| 5,000 | Foil, spot gloss and embossing become affordable. |
| 10,000+ | Full line supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Label work is quick when in-house eligible, near about 7 business days, and slower at about 12 weeks for specialty imported facestocks or finishes. Confirm stock before you commit to either. Label shape and wrap allowance around your container are drawn at no cost.
Send container shape, diameter, facestock preference, finish, SKU count and label quantity for pricing.
