What we produce

From One Label to a Full Packaging System

Before customers taste it, use it or experience it, they see the packaging. Great packaging communicates quality, builds recognition and gives customers a reason to choose your product.

Product Labels

Small label, big responsibility

Identifies the product, carries the information and represents the brand, in custom shapes and sizes, on rolls or sheets.

Ideal for

Bottles · Jars · Pouches · Tubs · Boxes · Retail products

Bottle Labels

Shelf-ready

Water, juice, honey, sauces, oils, syrups, cleaning and personal-care products, with the stock chosen for the bottle and environment.

Food & Beverage Labels

Branding designed for the shelf

Honey, coffee, tea, sauces, spices, juices, ginger shots, snacks, baked goods, jams and oils, organised so essential information stays clear.

Cosmetic & Beauty Labels

As good as the product

Serums, lotions, creams, oils, perfumes, hair and body care, with finishes chosen to make a small brand look established.

Water-Resistant Labels

For moisture and handling

Clear and white vinyl stocks for drinks, chilled goods, bathroom and cleaning products.

Barcode & QR Labels

Barcodes, QR codes, batch information, product codes, website and social links, test-scanned on the proof.

Branded paper bags for boutiques, bakeries and events, plus reusable tote and jute bags.

Materials

Label Stocks, and Where Each Belongs

White vinyl
Drinks, sauces, cosmetics and chilled products, squeezable bottles and curved containers; waterproof and oil-resistant

Labels come on sheets for hand application or on rolls: standard 76 mm or 40 mm cores, wound in the direction your applicator needs. Send a photo of an old roll if you use a machine. For branding on glass or metal with no visible label edge, use UV DTF stickers — sometimes the best answer is both: a UV DTF logo on the front and a paper label for ingredients on the back.

Studio

Packaging Design & Product Photography

Already have a logo but not sure how the product should look? Our creative team designs labels, box artwork, sleeves, hang tags, inserts and bags around your identity, and prepares the dieline for the cut shape. We design with the production method in mind, so what looks good on screen also works in print.

Once the packaging is printed, we photograph it: white-background packshots for online shops and marketplaces, detail and angle shots, and styled lifestyle images, colour-checked against the real product and named by SKU so they drop straight into your catalogue.

Product Label or UV DTF: Which Should You Use?

Neither is better in every case. A traditional label suits larger information areas (ingredients, instructions, barcodes and batch details) and is the economical choice for thousands of units. A UV DTF sticker suits decorative branding with no visible label edge on glass, metal and rigid plastic. Many premium products use both: a UV DTF logo on the front and a printed information label on the back.

Designing a Label That Works on the Shelf

  • Measure the container, not the label you want. The flat area on a tapered jar is smaller than it looks.
  • Keep ingredients and contact details at about 6 pt or larger in a clear sans-serif.
  • Barcodes need a quiet margin and must print at 80–120% of nominal size; always test-scan the proof.
  • Leave a blank panel for batch numbers and dates if you stamp them later. For regulated products, confirm the Kenyan requirements for your category with KEBS.

From idea to shelf

Seven Steps to Launch

  1. Tell Us

    The product, dimensions, quantity and goal.

  2. Choose

    We recommend materials, printing and finishes.

  3. Design

    Artwork created or checked for production.

  4. Approve

    You approve the proof, and a test label on the real container.

  5. Produce

    Printed, cut and finished in-house.

  6. Check

    Every item inspected before collection or dispatch.

  7. Launch

    Your product meets its customers.

Artwork tips are in artwork file requirements for printing. Weighing clear labels against a no-label look? Read UV DTF stickers vs clear stickers. Printed leaflets and inserts come from commercial printing, and brand identities from corporate branding & design.

FAQ

It depends on the surface, moisture, refrigeration and handling. Paper suits dry goods; clear and white vinyl are waterproof and oil-resistant for drinks, cosmetics and chilled products. Tell us how the product is stored and we recommend the stock.

Can you print barcodes and QR codes?

Yes. They can be built into labels and packaging. Supply the correct codes and always test-scan the proof before the full run.
