Overview & Specifications
What Are Bakery Stickers?
Bakery stickers close and brand bakery packaging: a seal across a box lid, a flavor sticker on a bag, an ingredient label on a tray. They go on the package; and for food packaging: confirm the face stock, adhesive, inks, coatings and laminates for the intended food-packaging use, including possible migration, food type, contact time and temperature.
Bakery Stickers sit in the Labels & Stickers range and under Bakery Packaging.

What Bakery Stickers Need to Get Right

| Measurement | What to Record |
|---|---|
| Job | Seal, flavor or ingredients |
| Package | Box, bag, tray or clamshell |
| Conditions | Grease, chilled or room |
| Format | Roll or sheet |
Test Stickers on Packed Products
Apply samples to packed, chilled products and check adhesion and legibility over a day.
What to Check Before Bulk Production
Review samples on packed products. Record the approved stock, adhesive and sizes on the signed-off proof. Bulk production starts after that sign-off.
| If the sample shows | Review before approval |
|---|---|
| Seal lifts on a greasy box | Review adhesive for grease |
| Sticker falls off in the fridge | Review adhesive for cold |
| Ingredients too small | Enlarge the label |
| Flavors mixed up | Add color coding |
Seven days covers standard production from approved proof once the specification is confirmed; delivery timing is confirmed separately.
