We offer basic label design services, including amendments to current work. Art services start from $80 per hour, charged in 15-minute increments.

Proofing

Before sending your artwork to us, it is advisable to do one final copy and content check. insignia will perform one round of corrections free of charge. Any subsequent corrections, or modifications, may incur additional charges.

Barcode Verification

Our graphic designers are trained by GS1 to ensure your label's barcode meets specification and barcodes are verified as part of our quality check and sign-off process. Verification evaluates the barcode to ensure accurate and efficient scanning.

Artwork Guidelines for Custom Labels

Please supply any fonts used in your job.

Logo Files

For optimum quality, all vector (line art) logos must be supplied in their original file format, ie. EPS or Adobe Illustrator. Logos supplied as JPEGs (made up of dots) will not produce a good result when printed.

Custom prime and overprint label gallery

Sovereign Hill needed high-quality product labels to print variable data on for their custom lolly jar range. Designers worked closely with the customer to provide the added benefit of delivering an eye-catching branded label paired with the flexibility of printing variable product information in-house.

Byron Bay Honey required product label that promotes their 100% Australian-grown brand whilst still ensuring compliance with Australian Country of Origin Labelling Standards. The design of the pre-printed label upholds the familiar Byron Bay Honey brand with an appealing gloss finish and includes necessary information such as ingredients and nutritional information.

Gumnut Chocolates needed to print different information on their labels such as product description and nutritional information for their expanding product range of jars, poly bags and chocolate boxes. Introducing an overprint label enabled Gumnut to reduce their label inventory and improve production processes.

Lewis & Son's product range required a more flexible approach to label printing in-house. Introducing a pre-designed template label enabled Lewis & Son to have this flexibility and reduce label product lines as needed whilst maintaining their brand.

Guzman Y Gomez required their signature yellow branding to be used for their primary labels for customer facing products. The use of a yellow overprint label serves essential functions such as their instore and delivery ranges whilst preserving brand identity.

insignia delivered Australian Pet Brands with a suite custom printed labels that help accurately show the real ingredients in their pet foods. The labels also feature vibrant visuals on customer facing products that encourage customers to pick up the product from supermarket shelves.

Sanitarium offers a varied product range, from peanut butter to liquid breakfast drinks. The custom printed label design encourages consumers to select their products from the supermarket shelf and provides relevant informative nutritional information.

Australia Post need fit-for-purpose custom printed labels to help customers track and locate their parcels. The prime label helps the postal service provide precise details and convenience to ensure timely delivery or pickup of parcels for customers.
