Built for Freshness and Food Safety
Fruit and produce labels must meet demanding conditions: moisture, handling, temperature changes, and regulatory food safety requirements. They need to be printed on FDA-approved, food-safe materials that resist damage when exposed to dampness, cold, or friction. Graphics should stay sharp and colors vibrant, whether on matte, gloss, or soft touch finishes. Removable or soluble adhesives are often used so labels peel cleanly without leaving residue.
Blending Branding with Functionality
Beyond durability, these labels are tools for communication and branding. PLU (Price Look-Up) codes help stores with accurate pricing and inventory management. Labels may also include growing practices (organic, conventional, GMO), country of origin, seasonal or promotional messaging, and branding elements like logos or color cues. Matte finishes tend to give a more natural, organic aesthetic, while gloss adds visibility and polish on packed display items. Soft touch adds a velvety texture to your label, while clear labels can emphasize the produce itself.
Quality and Compliance You Can Rely On
Quality and consistency are vital. Labels are checked for print clarity, barcode / PLU scan-readability, color match, and food compliance. LabelSwift ensures that your fruit labels look professional, arrive on time, and meet safety standards.
