Horticulture Labels

Durable Labels for Plants, Seeds & Garden Products

Weatherproof | Custom Printed | Compatible with Thermal Printers

At Southern ID Solutions, we supply high-performance horticultural labels that stand up to the toughest growing, packing, and retail environments. Whether you’re labelling a single potted plant or producing thousands of trays for nationwide distribution, our label solutions combine weather resistance, branding clarity, and application reliability—all backed by years of experience supporting growers, nurseries, and garden centres across the UK.

From pot tags to seed packets, compost bags to point-of-sale signage, we understand the challenges unique to horticulture labelling—UV exposure, moisture, handling wear, and outdoor storage—and we build every label to withstand them.

✅ Label Solutions Tailored to the Horticultural Sector

We provide both pre-printed and overprintable labels & tags to suit:

🌱 Nurseries and commercial growers
🪴 Retail garden centres and plant shops
🌾 Seed producers and packet manufacturers
🌼 Horticultural wholesalers and exporters
🌻 Soil, compost, and fertiliser brands

Whether you’re applying labels by hand, via applicator, or using thermal printers on-site, we’ll configure every label for flawless performance from greenhouse to garden shelf.

🛡️ Engineered for Outdoor Use & Harsh Conditions

Horticultural products face exposure that most packaging never sees. That’s why our labels are built for:

Sunlight – UV-resistant inks and substrates to prevent fading
Rain, dew, and watering systems – moisture-proof face materials and adhesives
Soil, fertiliser, and abrasion – scuff-resistant coatings and high-durability finishes
Temperature extremes – ideal for greenhouses, outdoor benches, or cold storage
Chemical splash – suitable for use near pesticides or nutrient solutions

We use durable synthetic materials like polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET), paired with high-tack permanent adhesives that bond securely to plant pots, trays, tags, and film—even when applied in damp or dusty environments.

🖨️ On-Demand Printing with Thermal Transfer Compatibility

Need to print growing info or traceability data on-site? No problem.

Our horticulture labels are available blank, part-printed, or fully printed—and are fully compatible with your Zebra, GoDEX, Toshiba, TSC, or other thermal transfer printers.

You can overprint:

Plant species (common & Latin names)
Batch numbers and sowing/harvest dates
Barcode and QR codes
Pricing and point-of-sale info
Watering or sunlight care instructions

For seed producers or growing operations managing multiple SKUs and date ranges, our blank or hybrid label options offer the flexibility to keep pack lines running smoothly.

🎨 Retail-Ready Branding That Lasts

In a retail environment, horticultural labels are often the only branding your product has—so they need to look good and last long.

We offer:

Full-colour digital printing for vibrant images and sharp logos
Spot colours and colour matching for consistent shelf presence
Gloss, matte, satin and soft-touch laminates for premium finish and durability
Bespoke label shapes including:

Our in-house design support ensures labels are print-ready, brand-aligned, and suitable for the application surface—whether it’s plastic, paper, card, or bag film.

⚡ Short Runs, Fast Turnarounds & Seasonal Flexibility

We know the horticulture market is highly seasonal—with sudden surges in demand, fast-changing offers, and evolving promotional cycles.

That’s why we offer:

Short-run label printing for seasonal plants or promotions
Fast-turnaround digital print for urgent jobs and limited editions
Flexo production for high-volume, multi-location distribution
Stockholding and call-off supply for long-term clients

We adapt to your schedule, not the other way around.
