Healthcare Labels

Custom healthcare labels can help clinics, care providers and support organisations keep everyday information clearly presented and consistently organised. Add your organisation’s name, logo, contact details, instructions or blank information fields to labels designed for general administrative use.

They are suitable for GP practices, dental surgeries, private clinics, pharmacies, care homes, veterinary practices, therapists and other healthcare organisations. Labels are supplied on rolls for convenient storage and application.

What can custom healthcare labels be used for?

These personalised labels are intended for general administrative, organisational and identification purposes, including:

• Files, folders and document wallets
• Appointment packs and envelopes
• Department and room identification
• General equipment references
• Storage boxes, drawers and cupboards
• Stock-control information
• Internal messages and instructions
• Practice and clinic contact details
• Staff name and visitor labels
• Care-home and support-service administration

Healthcare labels with your text and logo

Add your practice, clinic or organisation’s name and logo to create consistent labels for everyday use. Your design can also include a telephone number, website, department name or short instruction.

Text & Logo Labels have a white background and are supplied on rolls. Keeping the design simple and using clearly sized text will make the finished label easier to read.

Labels with blank information fields

Your design can contain headings and blank spaces for information to be completed locally. This may include a date, reference number, department, staff name or other administrative detail.

If labels will be completed by hand, matt paper is generally the most practical option. Use a suitable pen and test it on the label before beginning a large batch, allowing the ink to dry before handling.

Labels for files and patient records

Personalised labels can be used to organise suitable files, folders, envelopes and document wallets. Consistent headings and colour use can help staff recognise departments, document types and administrative categories.

Care should be taken when placing personal or medical information on anything that may be visible outside an authorised working environment.

Patient confidentiality and personal information

Health information may be classed as special category personal data and requires additional protection. Only include information that is necessary for the intended purpose and consider who may be able to see the completed label.

The organisation ordering and using the labels is responsible for its data-protection procedures and for deciding what information can be displayed. Further guidance is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Use of healthcare and NHS logos

You can upload an authorised logo belonging to your clinic, practice, care provider or organisation. Please make sure that you have permission to reproduce every name, logo and trademark included in the artwork.

The NHS identity must only be used by organisations and suppliers with the appropriate permission. Supplying artwork containing an NHS logo does not confirm that its use has been authorised. The customer is responsible for obtaining permission and following the relevant NHS identity guidelines.

Paper labels for dry indoor applications

The standard Text & Logo Labels offered on this page are best suited to clean, dry surfaces and general indoor administration. They work well on paper, cardboard, files, envelopes and suitable smooth packaging.

Standard paper labels are not waterproof and may be affected by water, condensation, alcohol, disinfectants and other cleaning products. They should not be described as resistant to clinical cleaning processes unless the completed label has been tested in that environment.

General equipment identification

Healthcare labels can be used for straightforward references on suitable office equipment, storage containers and non-critical items. Include an equipment name, department, internal reference or contact details.

Standard paper labels may not be suitable for equipment exposed to regular cleaning, moisture, heat, abrasion or harsh chemicals. A more durable specialist material may be needed for those environments.

Not a certified medical or laboratory label

These are general-purpose printed self-adhesive labels. They are not supplied as sterile products and are not certified for direct skin contact, specimen identification, cryogenic storage, sterilisation, medical devices or direct contact with medicines.

Applications involving laboratory samples, medicine packaging, patient identification, infection control or regulated medical products may require specialist materials, adhesives, testing and traceability. Please contact us before ordering if the label will be used for a critical or regulated purpose.

Shapes and sizes for different applications

Choose from rectangular, circular, square and oval healthcare labels. Available rectangular sizes include 37 × 24mm, 40 × 20mm, 49 × 22mm, 51 × 29mm, 62 × 38mm, 74 × 24mm, 76 × 49mm, 89 × 36mm, 90 × 49mm, 102 × 75mm and 154 × 80mm.

Smaller labels are useful for brief references and envelopes. Larger sizes provide more room for instructions, contact details and blank fields that need to be completed by hand.

Healthcare labels supplied on rolls

Custom healthcare labels are supplied on rolls, making them straightforward to store, distribute and apply. Rolls are particularly convenient at reception desks, administrative workstations, stock rooms and packing areas.

Apply each label to a clean, dry and reasonably smooth surface. Adhesion may vary on textured equipment, flexible materials and certain plastics, so testing is recommended for unusual applications.

Preparing your healthcare label design

Upload your logo and wording or create a straightforward design online. For the clearest printing, supply editable vector artwork or a high-resolution image at 300dpi.

Keep important text and logos at least 1–2mm inside the finished edge. Make sure blank fields are large enough for the information that will be entered and check that all wording remains legible at the selected label size.
