Overview & Specifications
What Are Jewelry Labels?
Jewelry labels brand and identify jewelry packaging: a logo seal on a box lid, an SKU label on the base, a price label on a card. The surfaces are small, so legibility and adhesive behavior matter more than on most labels.
Jewelry Labels sit in the Labels & Stickers range and under Jewelry Packaging.
What it has to do
What Jewelry Labels Need to Get Right
Jewelry labels need legibility at small sizes, an adhesive for each surface, the right removal behavior and a job. Each need below is matched to the option that meets it.
01
Legibility
Legibility at Small Sizes
SKU and price text stays readable on labels sized for small boxes and cards.02
Adhesive
An Adhesive for the Surface

Clear
A Clear Job
Logo seal, SKU label or price label.
Logo Seals vs SKU and Price Labels
Most jewelers use a logo seal for branding and small labels for stock and price. The table compares the two.
| Attribute | Logo Seal | SKU / Price Label |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Box lid or pouch | Box base or card |
| Adhesive | Permanent | Removable or permanent |
| Material | Foil, clear or paper | Paper or film |
| Changes | Rarely | Per item |

How Do You Size Jewelry Labels?
Measure the space on the box lid, base or card and decide what each label shows. Size and shape are set on the approved proof.
| Measurement | What to Record |
|---|---|
| Job | Seal, SKU or price |
| Surface | Box, pouch or card |
| Text | Minimum legible size |
| Adhesive | Permanent or removable |
Check Text at Actual Size
Print a sample at actual size and check the smallest text on the real box or card.
What to Check Before Bulk Production
Review samples on your boxes and cards. Record the approved sizes, adhesive and material on the signed-off proof. Bulk production starts after that sign-off.
| If the sample shows | Review before approval |
|---|---|
| SKU text too small | Enlarge the label or type |
| Seal lifts from a textured box | Review adhesive |
| Price label tears the card | Move to removable adhesive |
| Foil detail fills in | Enlarge the detail |
Seven days covers standard production from approved proof once the specification is confirmed; delivery timing is confirmed separately.
