Print with a practical purpose
Label artwork and production support shaped around the finished business application.
Label applications
Labels designed around what the business needs them to do
A label may need to communicate a brand, identify a product, carry important information or support an operational process. Starting with the intended use makes it easier to determine the right size, layout and production approach.
Packaging labels
Labels used as part of the finished packaging presentation where clear brand or product information needs to be applied consistently.
Useful for:
boxes, bags, containers and packaged goods
Business branding labels
Branded labels for business materials, packaging, correspondence and other applications where company identity needs to be carried onto a physical item.
Useful for:
brand identification and everyday business use
Identification labels
Labels created to make items, areas, equipment or business material easier to recognise, organise or identify.
Useful for:
internal identification and organised business environments
Information & operational labels
Printed labels used where practical information, instructions, references or other operational details need to be clearly displayed.
Useful for:
workplaces, products, processes and operational requirements
Custom label requirements
Not every label fits a standard category. DSP can assess the finished size, quantity, artwork and intended application to help determine a practical production route.
Useful for:
specialised business, promotional and recurring label requirements
Planning your labels
Start with how the label needs to look, fit and function
A label has to work as part of the item it is applied to. Thinking about the finished size, information, artwork and intended use at the start helps shape a more practical production requirement.
Finished size & shape
The available space and proportions of the item being labelled help determine how the artwork and information should be arranged within the finished label.
Information hierarchy
Decide which information needs to be noticed first. Brand name, product information, instructions or identification details should remain clear within the available label space.
Intended application
Explain where and how the label will be used. The intended application helps DSP understand the practical requirements of the finished label before production is planned.
Quantity
Share the approximate number of labels required, including whether the need is a once-off project or part of an ongoing business requirement.
Artwork & branding
Send any existing logo, brand artwork or label layout you already have. DSP can assess whether the supplied artwork is ready for production or needs further preparation.
Finished purpose
Product presentation, branding, identification and operational information can place different demands on a label. The intended purpose should guide the design and production decisions.
Do not have finished label artwork yet? DSP's in-house design team can help prepare or adapt the layout around the size, branding, information and intended application.

Label production process
A practical route from label requirement to finished print
The label needs to work visually and practically in its final application. DSP can help confirm the requirement, prepare the artwork and move the approved job through production and finishing.
-
Confirm the label application
Start with what the label needs to do, where it will be used, the approximate size, quantity and the information it needs to carry.
-
Prepare the artwork
Existing artwork can be checked and adapted where necessary, or DSP's in-house design support can help prepare a suitable layout around the finished label size and content.
-
Confirm the production requirement
The approved size, quantity, artwork and intended use are brought together into a clear production specification before the job proceeds.
-
Produce the labels
The approved label artwork moves into print production according to the agreed business, product or operational requirement.
-
Finish and prepare the order
The labels are completed according to the agreed format and prepared as a finished order ready for the intended application.

Label Printing FAQs
Questions businesses often ask before ordering custom labels
You do not need to arrive with every technical detail already decided. The intended use, approximate size, quantity, required information and any existing artwork are usually enough to start the discussion.
What information should I send when requesting a label printing quote?
Include what the labels will be used for, the approximate size, quantity, information that needs to appear on them and any existing logo or artwork. If some of these details are still undecided, DSP can help work through the practical requirements.
Can DSP help design or prepare the label artwork?
Yes. DSP provides in-house design and artwork support. Existing label artwork can be assessed and adapted for production, or a new layout can be prepared around the available size, branding and information that needs to be included.
How do I know what type of label is right for my requirement?
Start by explaining where the label will be used, what it needs to communicate and how it fits into the finished product or business application. DSP can then assess the size, artwork and practical production requirements rather than expecting you to select the production method yourself.
Can DSP help with recurring label requirements?
Yes. If labels form part of an ongoing product, packaging, identification or operational requirement, share the expected quantities and how frequently they are needed so the job can be assessed as a recurring business requirement.

Need custom labels for a product, business or operational requirement?
Send DSP the intended use, approximate size, quantity, information that needs to appear and any existing logo or artwork. If the format or design still needs to be clarified, the team can help work through the remaining artwork and production details before the job moves forward.
