How to Shop For Labels for your Cosmetics Bottles and Jars at Soap-Labels.com

So you have a cosmetics product that needs a label. The best way to go about selecting a label is to choose the label first, and then buy the bottle or jar to match the label.  However, if you are like most people (myself included), you buy the bottle or jar first, and then you look for a label to fit.  If you have a standard sized bottle or jar, finding a label shouldn't be too hard. But if you have an odd-sized bottle or jar, finding a label may be more difficult.

At Soap-labels.com, we offer printed labels.  You can search through our designs, and when you find one that you like, click on the button that says "customize on Zazzle" or "Buy on Zazzle." You will be taken to our store on Zazzle where you can customize the label with your text (and with some designs your logo), and you can purchase printed labels.

Here are some things to keep in mind when searching for a label for your cosmetics jar or bottle.

  1. Will the label that you choose fit your bottle or jar? While this seems like an obvious question, sometimes people forget to check this until after they have purchased the label.  Then they are disappointed that the label doesn't fit.  To prevent this, before you purchase the label, look for the dimensions of the label in the product description. Then cut out a piece of paper that is the size of the label, and wrap it around your jar or bottle to see how it fits. That will give you a preview of how the actual label will fit on your jar. If it doesn't fit, look for a similar design in a different size. At Soap-labels.com, we offer collections of labels that have the same or matching designs in different sizes. 
  2. Will the label that you choose serve your purpose? If your product will be used in wet or oily environments (like shampoo or hair conditioner or hair oil), consider using a waterproof label. These are more durable than non-waterproof labels. To search for waterproof labels at Soap-labels.com, type "waterproof" in the search box.
  3. Does the label design fit your image? At Soap-labels.com, we offer minimalist labels, vintage style labels, and luxury style labels for soaps and cosmetics.
  4. Do you want to show off the contents of your jar or bottle? If you are using clear bottles or jars and you want to show off the contents of your package, choose transparent or clear labels.  If not, go for opaque labels.

These are four tips that should help you in your search for labels for your cosmetics products.
