Question
What is the difference between packaging labels and standard labels?
Answer
Packaging labels and standard labels serve different jobs, and the main split comes down to durability and intended use.
| Label type | Built for | Typical materials |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging labels | Product packaging, boxes, shipping | More durable or specialty stocks |
| Standard labels | Address, mailing, everyday uses | General-purpose paper or coated stocks |
- Both come in a range of shapes, sizes, and materials.
- Many can be ordered die-cut to a custom shape, or on sheets or rolls.
Options and turnaround vary by product and can change, so confirm the latest details on the product page.
