We love when people request custom die cuts, because it’s an opportunity for us to step up the flashy factor of their custom labels. It’s a subtle yet effective technique of catching your customers’ attention! You have already grabbed them with either your stylish design, comforting color scheme, or maybe even just a fancy font… Then BAM! they notice the actual shape of your custom label or sticker and their admiration is kicked up a notch or two!

We wrote about some tiny moose stickers from Clean Air Compost a while back and about how custom labels can evoke an emotional response. Want to know part of what they did? They used a custom die cut… In the shape of a tiny moose! A completely genuine custom sticker. Ask us what we can do for you and your custom labels.

It really is a great feeling to have your custom label artwork designed and ready to print. Although, as some of you may know you might have one last “quick fix” you’d like to see done. Not a problem! We are always happy to help in any we can. Whether you’d like to change some wording, or perhaps just change some sizing; we digital printers can usually lend a hand.

Here’s the kicker: there are some file formats that we AREN’T able to change! When talking with your graphic designer always make sure to have them give you those handy vector and post script file formats versus those stubborn jpeg and bitmap pictures… just in case. It will be worth it for that last minute strive for perfection! We wouldn’t be able to consider ourselves custom label printers if we weren’t honestly willing to provide you with truly custom labels.

Check out John Comeau, Head Chili at Horsetooth Hot Sauce at the local farmer’s market: John . John is one of our long standing custom label customers, and though we love him for that, we really, really love his hot sauce! You can find out more about John and his wicked-good products here.

Custom labels and stickers really seem to thrive in the beer industry. I just came across a great photo gallery of award winning home brew custom labels at www.byo.com If you click on the photos link, you’ll find several years worth of award winning labels. They really run the gamut design-wise, though they are almost all very, very clever in their use of plays on words or images.

Custom labels and stickers and custom brews make a happy team, for sure. I guess home brewers are the creative types and it show in both their brew and their label design. You home brewers really know how to create some fun labels! Maybe it’s the hops?

Custom labels and stickers that can be used beyond your original intentions (in a positive way!) are worth a lot from a marketing standpoint. Over the past few years my daughter has purchased a certain brand of clothing because she likes the design of the sticker they have on each piece of clothing. She has carefully peeled the stickers off and several are on her bedroom wall, others have been given as ‘gifts’ to friends and a few have even been added to birthday cards.

Custom labels and stickers that have that kind of appeal are not that common, so what can you do to help your brand be used virally? People love ‘free stuff.’ Have you considered adding an extra sticker to each of your products that your consumers can use to spread the word about your product? Maybe they’ll stick it on their laptop, bumper, wall etc. For a small budget you can get the word out about your product.

Custom labels and stickers from beer & liquor companies are everywhere. When is the last time you’ve been at the checkout stand buying a bottle of your favorite red that there hasn’t been some freebie sticker? Watch for awhile… people take them! I love it when I get a little something like that, and I usually end up sticking it somewhere. People will do the same with your ‘brand’ if you give them the opportunity to do so.

What’s Happening in the World of Printing Labels?

Welcome to Leapin’ Lizard Labels! We’re glad you came by to learn more about using an online digital printer for printing labels. We’re here because we have a vision for helping small business owners promote their products.

There are all kinds of sources for printing labels in the world, but many of these seem to be lacking in the ability to benefit businesses that need fewer labels printed at once.

These companies want shorter runs (meaning, printing fewer labels at a time) and a shorter print time so they can get their products on the shelves. We thought, “Leapin’ Lizard! There’s a great opportunity to do some good on this planet” and Leapin’ Lizard Labels was born.

And what about Lexie? We heard she was an expert at printing labels, especially in the customer service department, and knew she would make a great addition to our team. She works with our customers and makes sure when we’re printing labels that our product will make our customers happy. Our customers love her and so do we.
