Custom Product Label Printing for Food Retail Stores
March 1, 2010
Significantly increase your food retail store’s profit margin by strategically using custom label printing to highlight products to customers according to your marketing needs. The possibilities available for product label printing on your own terms are wider in variety for your product promotion than mere product shelving decisions, as we will demonstrate for you below:
Custom Product Label Printing for Groceries and Convenience Stores
1. New Product Launches
Increase customers’ interest in your new products by clearly marking them as new releases. Include any improvements you’ve made in this new product compared to its previous incarnations, if applicable. This method can work well with promos you launch with this new product. For instance, if you’re launching a contest for this new product and require inclusion of the labels as proofs of purchase in the entries, your staff will also be able to easily distinguish the new product’s labels among your others’.
2. Repackaging Products For Sale
The word “sale” can increase conversion in customers further since it calls to their desire to save money while gaining more value. Convince customers that they’re getting a great deal by including how exactly the sale works; for example, you can highlight that you’ve increased the volume or quantity of the packaged product you’re selling while maintaining or even lowering its original price.
3. Labeling Products for Your Own Store
Whether you want to produce customized labels for products you’ve manufactured yourself, or simply want to mark products in your shelves as coming from your retail store, professional custom label printing can help you achieve that goal. You can use these labels to include contact information of your store or use them as proofs of purchase when your customers line up at the counter.
4. Marking Products as Consumer Samples or For Free Distribution
You may need to mark some of your products as free samples for potential customers to try out, or you may need to mark them for free distribution when you’re donating them for a community cause. Clearly marking them as such in your custom product labels will not only help your staff when taking inventory or customers when they’re adding items to their shopping carts, but also prevent these products from being resold unlawfully.
5. Event/Personal Product Labels
If you find the need to use some of your products as trade show or convention samples, labeling them as such can greatly help remind people of their experiences with you at the event when they take these products home. Personal product labels for when you hold special events for your store’s benefit also help your business stay in people’s top of mind awareness more vividly.
Create and proof label designs for these different purposes with your goals in mind, and these custom labels may well be able to contribute to your food retail store’s success.

Custom label printing is more complex than it looks and before your product labels roll off the presses you’ll need to reckon with materials, coatings and adhesives, in addition to design and color reproduction.
