Overview & Specifications
What Are Candy Labels?
Candy labels brand and close candy packaging: a flavor label on a jar, a seal on a bag, an ingredient label on a box. Clear labels on transparent packaging let the candy show; foil adds a gift look. They go on the package, not the candy.
Candy Labels sit in the Labels & Stickers range and under Candy & Sweets Packaging.

How Do You Size Candy Labels?

| Package | Bag, jar, tin or box |
| Material | Clear, foil or paper |
| Format | Roll or sheet |
Apply Samples to Filled Packages
Apply samples to filled bags and jars and check adhesion and how the candy shows.
What to Check Before Bulk Production
Review samples on filled packages. Record the approved material, adhesive and sizes on the signed-off proof. Bulk production starts after that sign-off.
| If the sample shows | Review before approval |
|---|---|
| Label hides the candy | Switch to clear or resize |
| Seal lifts on a film bag | Review adhesive |
| Ingredients too small | Enlarge the label |
| Foil scuffs | Review lamination |
Seven days covers standard production from approved proof once the specification is confirmed; delivery timing is confirmed separately.
