Cosmetics Labels
made for the vanity shelf.

Makeup brands live and die by shade ranges: twenty lipsticks, a dozen blushes, a palette in three colourways. We print cosmetics labels in short runs per shade or SKU, with foil and raised UV finishes that photograph well for social and look finished in a hand.

Why it matters

Built for cosmetics labels.

01

One label per shade

Print each shade name and swatch colour as its own design, in the quantity that matches the fill run.

02

Photo-ready finishes

Foil and raised UV catch the light on camera, which helps for product shots and unboxing videos.

03

Small on purpose

Tiny labels need crisp type, and HP Indigo digital printing holds fine detail on small formats.

04

Launch kits and PR

Make influencer kits and sample boxes feel as polished as retail with matching seals and labels.

How to spec your cosmetics labels

A round label suits compact lids, a slim rectangle suits tubes, and a rounded rectangle suits outer boxes. Pick matte for a modern minimal look and add foil or raised UV to the brand mark. Start with 200 labels per shade to test a launch.

Make the artwork work

Use a consistent label layout and change only the shade name and swatch so a 20-shade range proofs quickly. Keep small ingredient text on a plain background for legibility.

Cosmetics Labels FAQ

Common
questions.

What is the smallest label size that stays readable?+

Many cosmetics labels are 1 in or smaller on one side. Keep type at a readable size and avoid thin strokes in light colours. We will flag artwork issues during your free proof.

Will labels stick to tubes and compacts?+

BOPP labels apply to many plastics and coated surfaces, but squeeze tubes flex and metal compacts can be slick. Test a small run on your actual packaging.

Can I print ingredient lists on a label?+

Yes. Many brands put the ingredient list on a back label or the outer box. Cosmetics have specific labelling rules in Canada, so check requirements before you finalize artwork.
