Meal Prep Labels
ready for the freezer and the fridge.

Meal-prep businesses handle hundreds of containers a week, each with a name, a date and reheating directions. We print container labels on rolls and sheets with HP Indigo colour, so a kitchen can brand every tray and still leave space for the details that change daily.

Why it matters

Built for meal prep labels.

01

Reheating and storage in plain language

Print the standard directions on the label and leave a small area for the daily date, so the label does the explaining.

02

Colour by meal type

A colour band for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or for dietary plans, lets packers and customers sort in a glance.

03

Roll format for packing lines

Rolls are quick to peel and apply, which matters when a team labels containers in bulk each morning.

04

Allergen emphasis

Allocate a clearly set area for allergen information so it is easy for customers to spot.

How to spec your meal prep labels

Use a rectangle label sized to the lid, with a colour band by meal type and a blank area for dates. Matte stock takes stamps and pens, and Freezer grade is worth ordering if meals go into the freezer. Print a first run for a few weeks of packing.

Make the artwork work

Print the name of the meal, the plan and the allergens, and leave dates to a stamp. Printing less on each label means one design can serve many days.

Meal Prep Labels FAQ

Common
questions.

Will labels stay on in the fridge and freezer?+

Waterproof BOPP suits chilled storage. For frozen meals, Freezer grade stock is available, and you should test on your actual containers.

Can I stamp the date on the label?+

Yes. Leave a blank area for a stamp or write-in. Matte stock takes most inks and markers better than gloss.

What size label suits a meal tray?+

Measure the lid or the side panel of the tray. Rectangles around 3 x 2 in are common, but your container decides.
