We understand what really matters when it comes to labelling chilled produce:
- No peeling under moisture
- No smudging during handling
- Full traceability compliance
- Speed and accuracy on high-speed lines
- Supermarket-ready presentation
Our labels are engineered for use on clamshells, bags, sleeves, cartons, flow wraps, and more—supporting both pre-printed branding and on-site overprinting for essential pack data.
Our labels are tailored for fast-moving chilled produce including:
- Cut salads and salad bowls
- Herb pots and bagged herbs
- Leafy greens and spinach
- Pre-prepared vegetable medleys
- Snack trays and mix packs
- Organic, hydroponic, and seasonal lines
We’ll guide you on label size, adhesive type, face material, and print method to match your exact product, packaging format, and packing environment.
Every label we produce for fresh produce is manufactured under BRCGS Packaging Materials (Global Standard) procedures and certified Grade ‘AA’—the highest achievable level.
This ensures:
- Full compliance with UK retailer and EU standards
- Use of food-safe inks, substrates, and adhesives
- Compatibility with chilled and cold chain environments
- Smooth integration into existing supermarket or export audits
Whether you’re packing in a packhouse, co-packing facility, or automated line, your labels will pass inspection every time.
Your operation moves fast—and your labels need to keep up.
All our label formats (pre-printed or plain) are available with thermal transfer compatible coatings, so you can add:
- Best before / use by dates
- Batch and lot codes
- Barcodes (EAN, GS1, 2D, QR)
- Product weights and pricing
- Sequential numbering
Labels are tested for use in Zebra, GoDEX, Toshiba, TSC and all major thermal transfer and direct thermal printers.
We can also create blank areas for overprint, or supply part-printed labels with dynamic variable fields built into the artwork.
Produce labels must endure moisture, refrigeration, condensation—and the pressure of fast handling. That’s why we offer:
✅ Fridge-Grade & Freezer-Grade Adhesives
- Excellent adhesion to film, PP trays, clam packs, and sleeves
- Remain secure and scannable even when applied in cold or damp conditions
- Options available for deep-freeze, ice bath, or chilled water packing lines
✅ Durable Face Materials
- Polypropylene: water-resistant, tear-resistant, ideal for chilled & wet packing
- Gloss and matte coated paper: economical and printable
- PE and flexible films: conform to curved or unstable pack surfaces
- Eco options: compostable and recyclable face stocks available for sustainability-led farms
If your labels need to survive condensation, stacking, or contact with wet hands—we’ll spec them to perform.
Even in produce aisles, branding matters—and your labels must look as fresh as the product inside.
We offer:
- Digital printing for small, seasonal, or trial runs
- Flexo printing for large-scale, multi-site production
- Full-colour CMYK with white ink or spot colour matching
- Gloss, matte, or soft-touch finishes
- Photo-quality images and sharp text
- Proofing, mock-ups and sample testing before production
From crisp barcode labels to full-bleed artwork with logo and origin flags—we make sure your labels represent your brand, not just your product.
