Top 5 Label Printing Mistakes to Avoid in 2025

In today’s competitive market, product labels serve as more than mere identifiers; they are a crucial component of your brand’s image and compliance strategy. With over 30 years of experience, Croft Printing has identified common pitfalls businesses encounter in label printing. Here are the top five mistakes to avoid:

Selecting the wrong label material can lead to issues like peeling, smudging, or fading. For instance, using paper labels on refrigerated products can result in moisture absorption and detachment. Croft Printing offers a variety of materials, including self-adhesive paper and film, to suit different product environments.

Not all adhesives are created equal. Using a standard adhesive on packaging that will be chilled or frozen can result in poor sticking performance. Croft Printing provides adhesive options specifically matched to your product’s surface and storage conditions.

Low-resolution graphics or inconsistent colours can harm brand credibility. Croft Printing utilises advanced printing technologies to produce high-quality labels with sharp and vibrant colours, maintaining brand consistency across batches.

Even well-printed labels can fall flat if essential design elements like logo placement, font readability, or product descriptions are neglected. Our team ensures your label design is both functional and visually compelling.

Ordering too many labels can result in waste, especially during rebrands, while ordering too few can delay product launches. Croft Printing offers flexible short-run label printing services, allowing you to order quantities that match your exact needs.

By avoiding these common mistakes, your product labels will not only look professional but also work smarter for your business. Croft Printing is here to help you create high-quality, reliable labels that make a lasting impression.
