Common applications
A dedicated barcode label lets you add UPC or SKU codes to packaging after it is printed.
Small spice jars usually take a compact front label with the blend name and weight.
10 ml roller bottles and slim tubes need a narrow label that wraps without overlapping the dispensing end.
A compact rectangle fits the back of small products, tags and cards with a price, SKU or short description.
Trial sizes, sachets and sample cards need a small label with the product name and a short line of copy.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.
