The Secret Sauce Behind Summer’s Best-Looking Products
By Al the Label Guy
Let’s talk summer. Ketchup on burgers, mustard on hot dogs, macaroni salad straight from the deli counter, and that BBQ sauce everybody swears by. These are the stars of the 4th of July table, the picnic MVPs, the crowd-pleasers that define backyard season—and your brand deserves to stand out with every squeeze, scoop, and slather.
But even the boldest, tangiest, smokiest summer flavors need help getting noticed—and that’s where your product labels come in. Specifically, litho cut and stack labels—the workhorse of the label world. Cut and stack labels are cost-effective, efficient for high-speed application, and super versatile when it comes to container shapes and sizes. That’s why you see them everywhere from glass jars of pickles to big tubs of coleslaw. Here are some other reasons that make them a superb choice for your summertime favorites.
High-Volume Labels Meet High Season Demand
When summer hits, your production ramps up—and fast. Suddenly you’re shipping pallets instead of cases. Great! But the last thing you need during peak season is to worry about running out of labels. Cut and stack labels are perfect for high-volume orders. That’s why brands who’ve been through a few summers call us first. We’re built for volume!
Good-Lookin’ Labels for Good-Tastin’ Products
When it comes to shelf appeal, cut and stack labels don’t just hold their own—they shine. Printed on high-quality litho paper with crisp detail and rich color, these labels hug your packing in all the right ways. Whether it’s a glass jar of relish or a can of baked beans, cut and stack labels lay flat, stay smooth, and give your product a polished, professional look from every angle.
Labels That Stay Put While They Pop Off the Shelf
We know that you aren’t just selling mustard. You’re selling nostalgia, backyard memories, and the kind of flavor that stains a shirt in the best way possible. Your label needs to be up to the task—sticking to the container no matter how cold or wet it gets, and holding color through long hours in open-air fridges and humid warehouses. Cut and stack labels are designed to tackle extreme and fluctuating conditions—hot and cold—making them perfectly suited for your summer staple products.
Look Good, Waste Less, Stay Green
And here’s the kicker—they’re great for sustainability, too. These labels use less material overall than pressure-sensitive alternatives and don’t require liners, which means less waste and less fuss during application. Add in the fact that they ship flat and stack neatly, and you’re saving on storage and freight before the labels even hit your production floor.
