Product Labels & Custom Packaging in Nairobi
Packaging that makes people want to pick up your product. Betapixel Studios designs and prints product labels, stickers, boxes, sleeves, hang tags and bags in-house in Nairobi, and photographs the finished product for your listings, from a first product launch to a complete packaging system.
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

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.

Materials
Label Stocks, and Where Each Belongs

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

The product, dimensions, quantity and goal.

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.
