Some print and finishing effects need to be seen, touched and tilted in the light to be fully appreciated.
Our new label sample pack brings together 18 original, unbranded designs, created to demonstrate the breadth of Baker Labels’ digital printing, material and finishing capabilities.
Designed specifically for our trade customers, the pack is a practical source of inspiration and a useful sales tool that you can confidently share with your own customers.

18 Designs. A Wide Range of Possibilities.
Across the pack, you will find examples created for different products and markets, using a varied selection of substrates, print technologies, constructions and finishing processes.
Included in the Sample Pack
- Labels printed using Durst inkjet and HP Indigo digital printing
- A selection of paper, filmic, metallic and textured materials
- Peel-and-reveal labels, demonstrating how additional information can be incorporated into a limited label area
- Hot foil, cold foil, 3D foil, fluted foil and variable digital foiling
- Embossing, silkscreen varnish and cast-and-cure effects
- Spot varnish, high-build varnish and rough-texture varnish
- Digital silver and other contrasting metallic effects
- Variable designs created with HP SmartStream Mosaic and Collage
- Security features including microtext and digital invisible ink
From subtle texture and fine detail to bold foil, movement, raised finishes and multi-layer label constructions, the pack demonstrates how different processes can be combined to create labels with greater visual impact, functionality and value.
Peel-and-reveal labels can be particularly useful where brands need to include ingredients, instructions, multilingual information, regulatory details, promotions or extended product content without increasing the size of the primary label.
Made for Trade Customers
Every design in the pack is completely unbranded. This means label printers, commercial printers, print management companies and design agencies can use the samples in meetings and presentations without promoting another customer’s brand.
Use the pack to:
- Introduce customers to unfamiliar materials, constructions and finishes
- Demonstrate peel-and-reveal options for products requiring additional information
- Compare print and embellishment techniques
- Support creative packaging and design conversations
- Demonstrate premium effects that are difficult to appreciate on screen
- Refresh an older collection of label samples
More Than an Attractive Finish
A successful label needs to do more than look good.
Material, adhesive, construction, print method and finish should all be selected according to how the label will be applied, where the product will be stored, how it will be used and the conditions it must withstand.
This can include choosing a peel-and-reveal construction when the available label area cannot comfortably accommodate all the required product, regulatory or marketing information.
The right specification helps protect the finished appearance while supporting reliable application, usability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes label failure?
Label failure usually starts at the planning stage. Incorrect material selection, unsuitable adhesive performance, heavy die cutting, poor colour consistency or text legibility issues can all contribute. Understanding end use and environment is key.
Why is label quality important for brand protection?
If a label lifts, scuffs or contains incorrect information, it reflects directly on the brand. High-quality, fit-for-purpose labels protect consumer trust and retailer confidence.
How can businesses reduce the risk of label failure?
Early technical involvement helps ensure the correct material, adhesive and print process are selected. Working with an experienced UK label manufacturer reduces operational and compliance risk.
What makes a label fit for purpose?
A fit-for-purpose label applicates correctly, adheres to the chosen surface, withstands storage conditions and maintains legibility throughout the product lifecycle.
Not sure if your labels are truly fit for purpose?
Sometimes small adjustments make a significant difference.
