Labels
Durable labels for demanding applications
General Labels produces high-quality self-adhesive labels for chemical, cleaning and industrial products,
supplying businesses throughout the UK.
From straightforward product identification labels to more demanding applications requiring specialist
materials and adhesives, we can help find the right label construction for your product and its environment.
With both digital and flexographic printing available, we can accommodate smaller quantities and
multiple product variants as well as larger production runs.
Labels made for the job
Industrial and chemical labels often need to cope with more than simply looking good on the packaging.
Depending on the application, we can offer a wide range of materials and adhesive options, including:
• High-tack and permanent adhesives
• Polypropylene (PP) and other synthetic materials
• Clear labels
• Blockout materials for covering existing information
• White ink printing
• Gloss varnish and other finishing options
• Variable data and multiple product variants
If you're unsure which material or adhesive is most suitable, talk to us about the product, container and
conditions in which the label will be used.
Multiple products? No problem.
Chemical and industrial ranges frequently contain numerous products with similar labels but different
colours, descriptions, sizes or product information.
Our digital printing capability makes it practical to produce multiple designs and smaller quantities without
having to treat every variation as a completely separate traditional print run.
For larger volumes, our flexographic printing capability provides an efficient option for longer production
runs.
We'll advise which method makes most sense for your particular requirement.
More than just printing
If you've already got finished artwork, simply send it to us with your label size and quantity and we can
provide a quotation.
If you haven't, that's not a problem either. General Labels can also assist with artwork and label design,
materials, cutters and the practical aspects of getting your label into production.
Already buying labels?
You don't necessarily need a new project to talk to us.
If you're currently purchasing labels elsewhere and would simply like to know whether your present pricing
is competitive, send us one of your current label specifications.
We'll be happy to quote on a like-for-like basis - no obligation and no hard sell.
