Roll Labels by Shape

Roll labels by shape deliver precision-cut adhesive labels on continuous rolls, providing Ontario businesses with a versatile labelling solution that combines automated application efficiency with tailored aesthetics. This format excels when your packaging requires specific contours—like circles for curved bottles or custom silhouettes for distinctive branding—while maintaining seamless compatibility with high-speed labelling machinery. Unlike sheet labels, roll formats minimize manual handling, reduce waste through optimized die-cutting, and ensure consistent placement across production runs. Whether you're a craft brewery in Hamilton, a skincare startup in Toronto, or a food producer in Kitchener, shape-specific roll labels elevate your product presentation while streamlining your workflow with professional-grade durability and clean edges.

Specifications

All shapes available in standard and custom sizes on 76mm (3") cores with Canada-standard metric measurements.

• Shapes: Circle (15–150mm diameter), oval (10–200mm axes), rectangle/square (20×20mm to 150×150mm), and custom silhouettes via vector artwork
• Materials: Premium paper (matte, gloss, kraft), waterproof vinyl, clear/metallic BOPP film, and specialty synthetics – explore all material options
• Adhesives: Permanent (standard), removable (repositionable), or freezer-grade (-40°C) for diverse storage conditions
• Roll details: 100–10,000 labels/roll (size-dependent), 300mm max outer diameter, white or clear silicone-coated liner
• Finishing: Kiss-cut precision with rounded corners (0.5mm radius) on standard shapes; custom dies require vector paths

Best Applications

Trusted by Ontario producers for products where shape enhances function and brand identity.

• Beverage & Food: Circle labels for mason jars and wine bottles; ovals for curved liquor containers; rectangles for meal kit cartons
• Cosmetics & Wellness: Custom-shaped labels for serum droppers, essential oil bottles, and CBD product lines requiring tamper-evident contours
• Craft & Retail: Die-cut silhouettes for boutique soap bars, candle jars, and artisanal preserves with unique branding edges
• Industrial: Durable vinyl ovals for equipment tags and square labels for chemical containers needing weather resistance

Perfect for products with consistent curvature where standard rectangles would peel at edges, or when distinctive shapes reinforce brand recognition on crowded shelves.

How to Choose

Select roll labels by shape when these criteria align with your production needs.

• Choose roll shapes when: You use labelling machines (min. 50 units/run), require precise edge conformity to curved surfaces, or need custom silhouettes for premium unboxing experiences
• Consider sheet labels instead: For ultra-small batches (under 50), hand-application scenarios, or when budget constraints preclude custom die costs
• Opt for standard shapes: If circle/oval/rectangle meets your design – avoids custom die fees and speeds production
• Choose custom silhouettes: Only when shape is critical to brand identity (e.g., maple leaf for Canadian products); confirm feasibility via custom quote

Tip: For cylindrical containers, oval labels often provide better wrap-around adhesion than circles. Test shapes with sample packs before full production.

Ordering Process

• Minimums: 50 labels per design (any shape/size combination). Bundle multiple designs in label bundles for cost efficiency
• Proofing: Digital proofs showing cut paths and layout sent within 24 hours. Approval required via email before production begins
• Turnaround: 2–5 business days after proof approval. Rush service available for Golden Horseshoe clients
• Custom shapes: Allow 1–2 extra days for die verification. Vector files (AI/EPS) required for complex silhouettes
• Shipping: Canada-wide with real-time tracking. Ontario orders typically arrive in 1–3 business days post-production

Note: Production timelines may extend during peak seasons. Design adjustments after proof approval reset the clock.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I mix shapes in one roll?
  No – each roll contains identical shapes for machine compatibility. Order separate rolls for multiple shapes, or explore custom roll configurations.
• What’s the cost for custom-shaped labels?
  Standard shapes use existing dies at no extra cost. Custom silhouettes incur a one-time die fee (waived for orders over 1,000 units). Request a detailed quote with your vector file.
• Will my oval label stay adhered on a wine bottle?
  Absolutely. Our oval labels use curvature-optimized adhesives and are die-cut to match standard bottle contours. For extreme curves, we recommend our flexible vinyl material.
• How precise are the cut paths?
  Tolerances are ±0.2mm. We verify paths during proofing – always check the digital mockup for critical design elements near edges.
