Gift Shop Labels

Custom gift shop labels provide an easy way to add your branding, product information or a thoughtful message to packaging. They can transform plain bags, boxes and tissue paper without the cost of having every item specially manufactured.

Whether you run a high-street gift shop, an online store, a museum shop or a small handmade business, personalised labels help create consistent packaging across your product range.

What can gift shop labels be used for?

Gift shop labels can be used throughout your business for branding, packaging and everyday retail tasks. Popular uses include:

• Thank-you stickers for customer orders
• Branded labels for bags and boxes
• Seals for tissue paper and gift wrapping
• Product names and descriptions
• Price and promotional labels
• Care instructions and product information
• Handmade and locally produced messages
• Website and social media details
• Seasonal and limited-edition packaging
• Event, wedding and corporate gift packaging

Thank-you stickers for customer orders

A simple thank-you label makes an order feel more personal. Use it to close tissue paper, seal a paper bag or finish a postal box. Your design can include your business name, logo, website or social media details alongside your message.

Thank-you stickers are particularly useful for online gift shops, where the packaging may be the customer’s first physical interaction with your brand.

Three ways to order your gift shop labels

Choose the printing option that best matches your design and budget:

• Discount Labels – an economical option for straightforward black text and simple artwork, supplied on rolls.
• Text & Logo Labels – add your wording and business logo to a white label, supplied on rolls.
• Custom Labels – full-colour paper labels for detailed branding, illustrations and seasonal designs, supplied on rolls.

Full-colour branded packaging labels

Custom Labels allow you to reproduce your brand colours, logo, illustrations and other full-colour artwork. They are suitable for businesses that want their labels to coordinate with existing packaging, shop signage or promotional material.

You could create one versatile design for everyday packaging or order separate versions for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays and other seasonal occasions.

Gift shop labels for products and prices

Personalised labels can display product names, prices, short descriptions and promotional messages. They can also be used to identify handmade, locally produced, limited-edition or exclusive products.

When displaying detailed information, choose a label size that gives the text enough room to remain clear and easy to read.

Paper materials and finishes

Matt paper gives gift packaging a soft, understated appearance, while gloss paper produces a brighter finish that helps colours stand out. Laminated matt and gloss options provide additional protection against handling and occasional moisture.

Biodegradable white paper is also available for businesses looking for an alternative to conventional label materials. Material availability will depend on the label type selected in the calculator.

Labels supplied on rolls

Gift shop labels are supplied on rolls, making them easy to store, peel and apply at the counter or packing table. Rolls are particularly convenient during busy retail periods when a large number of purchases or online orders need to be prepared.

Labels can be applied by hand to suitable bags, boxes, envelopes, tissue paper and other clean, dry packaging surfaces.

Shapes and sizes for different products

Choose from rectangular, circular, square and oval gift shop labels. Small labels work well as price stickers or seals for tissue paper, while larger sizes provide more space for branding, care instructions and product details.

Available rectangular sizes include 37 × 24mm, 51 × 29mm, 62 × 38mm, 74 × 24mm, 76 × 49mm, 89 × 36mm, 90 × 49mm, 102 × 75mm and 154 × 80mm. The relevant choices are displayed after you select your preferred shape.

Measure your packaging before ordering

Measure the area where the label will be applied and consider whether the packaging is flat, curved or textured. A smaller label will generally sit more neatly on narrow boxes and curved containers, while larger labels are better suited to flat bags and presentation boxes.

Adhesion may vary on dusty cardboard, textured paper, fabric, heavily curved surfaces and certain plastics. We recommend testing the material first if your packaging has an unusual finish.

Add product information to your labels

Your gift shop labels can include product descriptions, care instructions, ingredients, contact details or other useful information. However, it is your responsibility to check that the submitted wording meets any labelling rules applying to the product being sold.

If a product requires detailed safety, ingredient, age-restriction or regulatory information, make sure the selected label is large enough for everything to remain clear and legible.

Create seasonal and promotional labels

Custom labels are a flexible way to update your packaging for Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and other occasions. Create short-run seasonal designs without replacing your everyday boxes, bags or wrapping materials.

Labels can also advertise a sale, new product, special offer or limited-edition collection. Different designs should normally be configured and ordered separately.

Upload your artwork or create a simple design

Upload your completed artwork or use our online tools to create a straightforward text and logo design. For the clearest results, supply editable vector artwork or a high-resolution image at 300dpi.

Where colours or images run to the edge, extend the background 2–3mm beyond the cutting line. Keep important wording and logos at least 1–2mm inside the finished edge.
