Description
Custom bakery labels & stickers, printed on paper or waterproof vinyl
Custom printed bakery labels made in the UK in full colour, supplied on easy-peel sheets in any size or shape - choose self-adhesive paper for a natural look or waterproof vinyl for chilled, greaseproof and jarred goods, from a single label upwards.
Good bakery labels do two jobs at once - they sell the product and they carry the detail your customers need. Print your logo, flavour, ingredients, allergens and best-before dates in full colour, and give bread, cakes, brownies and traybakes a finish that looks as considered as the baking inside the box.
Pick the material to match the job. Self-adhesive paper suits kraft bags, boxes and dry goods for an honest, hand-made look, while our waterproof vinyl labels handle jars, chilled counters, greaseproof wrap and anything that might see moisture or a fridge without wrinkling or smudging.
There’s no minimum order and no set-up fee - order one label or several thousand, mix designs in a single run at no extra cost, and either design online or upload your own artwork. Not sure which material suits your packaging? Order a free sample pack and test the adhesive and finish first.
Paper or vinyl
Natural self-adhesive paper for boxes and bags, or waterproof vinyl for jars, chilled goods and greaseproof wrap - your choice.
Clear ingredient labelling
Full-colour print gives you room for allergens, ingredients, best-before dates and health or promotional claims, all easy to read.
Matt or gloss finish
Vinyl comes in a matt or gloss finish on a white or clear base, so labels sit with your branding and container.
Any size or shape
Round jar-lid stickers, rectangles, ovals or a bespoke die-cut - supply a cutter guide and we cut to match.
How to emphasise allergens in an ingredients list, best-before versus use-by for baked goods, which label sticks to cake boxes, greaseproof bags and cellophane, and sizes that work.

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Are your bakery labels waterproof?
The vinyl option is. Printed on waterproof material with scratch and water-resistant ink, it copes with chilled counters, greaseproof wrap and damp jars without smudging. Paper labels are more cost-effective and suit dry boxes and bags where moisture isn’t a concern.
Can I include ingredients, allergens and best-before dates?
Yes. Labels are printed in full colour with plenty of room for ingredients, allergen information, nutritional detail and best-before or use-by dates, alongside your logo and any promotional claims like ‘no added sugar’ or ‘freshly baked’.
Should I choose paper or vinyl?
Paper gives a natural, cost-effective finish that works well on kraft bags and boxes. Vinyl is waterproof and hard-wearing, available in white or clear with a matt or gloss finish, and better for jars, chilled items and anything that might get wet. If you’re unsure, order a free sample first.
Will the labels stick to jars and packaging?
They use a permanent adhesive, so they stay attached during transit and won’t peel from jars, boxes or containers during normal use. For clear jars we can add a white ink layer so your colours stay bright against the glass.
What is the minimum order?
Just one. Order a single bakery label or several thousand on sheets, and the price per label drops as your quantity grows - handy for small-batch bakers and market stalls.
How quickly will I get my bakery labels?
Once you approve your proof we get straight to print. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
Do I need to list allergens on cake box labels?
If the cake is packed before the customer chooses it, yes: the label needs the name of the food and a full ingredients list with the fourteen regulated allergens emphasised, for example WHEAT, EGGS and MILK in bold. Made-to-order goods need allergen information available but not a label.
Will labels stick to greaseproof or kraft bags?
Vinyl labels will. Grease wicks into paper labels and leaves translucent marks, so for bags, wrappers and anything oily choose gloss or matt vinyl. Paper labels are ideal for dry card boxes and sleeves.
