Round labels

A round label (sometimes also called a circular label) is a label that has a circular shape.

Round labels are used for many different purposes, including the following:

• Decoration. Because most labels have a square or rectangular shape, round labels are seen as something exotic, which makes them perfect to be used as decorative labels.
• Logo labeling. Round labels are the obvious solution when it comes to turning round logos into labels.
• Product labeling. Many products typically use round labels. These include wine bottles or beer barrels. It is therefore pretty commun to see round labels being used as bottle labels or beer labels.
• Advertising. The unusual shape of round labels is the perfect tool to catch the eye of a customer. As a result, it is not surprising to see companies using round labels as an advertising material.

Round labels can be manufactured as roll labels or die-cut labels. If they are intended to be applied manually, manufacturing them as roll labels will usually be the best option. However, if they are destined to be applied automatically, it is preferred to print them as die-cut labels.

The process of manufacturing round labels is not too different from how other labels are created. The first step consists in designing the label, something that can be easily done with the help of a label software. Once the design is ready, the round label can be printed using a traditional label printer. If the label is intended to be applied manually, using such a device is often the preferred solution.

If, on the other hand, the label must be applied to a product, the manufacturer can either print it with a label printer and apply it with a label dispenser or combine both tasks by using a label printer and dispenser.
