Labels for back of frames

Post by CreativePhotographer »

Good morning! Can anyone recommend a professional but fairly priced company who deal with back of frame labels? (I guess I would be looking for recycled/kraft type labels). Also, what detail do peeps tend to put on the label? I know I could do my own but I would be looking for something a little more professional.

Thank you and keep warm! :)

I've used stickers printed by moo. I designed them myself then uploaded the file.

I've seen other framers use inked stamps, which I really like the look of.

I design my own with my logo and my website on them. I use a brilliant company online called Banana Print and they are very quick and cheap too! I usually get done at the same time as my business cards and pay about £21 for 100 cards and 140 labels.

They come really well packaged and I recently did some small leaflets too which I have left in local shops to promote me (hardware shop, artisan gift shop) rather than the business cards. I’ve also got a couple of artists who sell at markets and they hand these out too when selling prints.

That's great, many thanks for this. I also love your idea of fellow artisans handing out your leaflets from their market stalls; a great idea!

I use Stickershop. Reasonable prices, good quality and some (limited) eco friendly options. We have the logo, date the frame was made, who made it, the type of glass used and order reference number.

Moo have nice quality business cards. I like the extra thick square one with rounded edges, but they definitely aren't cheap.

For my A5 flyers I use either Vista print (cheap as chips) or if I need something a bit more precise or I am worried about layout or colour, Stressfree print, who can help with colour correction, send a proof, and even do the layout for you if its not your thing.

I get stickers for the back of the frames from Discount Stickers Limited. I used to use Vistaprint but they peeled off before the frames were out the door.
I use Moo.com for business cards.
