Food & Beverage Labels
Food Labels & Beverage Labels are unique in that they must not only convey branding and grab consumers’ attention, but they also need to provide important information about the contents and potential uses of the product. Some examples include nutritional facts, ingredients, kosher food symbol, recipes, cooking instructions, storage requirements, and product warnings.
At Western Shield, we are experts at developing and printing food and beverage labels that strike the right balance of visual appeal and informational content.
We also understand the requirements for specific applications: frozen food packaging requires cold temperature adhesive and moisture resistant facestocks; wine bottle labels often need to pass an ice bucket test or water submersion test; dry foods require flexible packaging that prevent migration of ingredients like calcium chloride and promote shelf life; a water bottle label must be conformable, squeezable and feature non-whitening adhesive; meat labels & produce labels frequently require compliance with FDA requirements for Direct Food Contact.
See, it can seem a little complicated at first. Western Shield has been at it for over 35 years though; trust us-we've seen and heard everything and can guide you through the process from start to finish and make recommendations on materials, adhesives, designs, and more.
