Custom Food Service Labels & Use-By Stickers
We produce custom labels for food service environments, including prep labels, use-by stickers, and day-of-the-week rotation labels. These are widely used in commercial kitchens, restaurants, catering operations, commissaries, and meal prep businesses. The goal is simple: help your team label food clearly and consistently—so nothing goes to waste, and everything stays organized.
From writable surfaces to strong adhesives that hold up in cold or humid storage, our labels are made to perform in real kitchen conditions.
Designed for Practical Use
Many customers ask us:
Will the label stay stuck in the fridge?
Can I write on it with a marker?
Will it still be readable after a day or two?
These are exactly the things we consider when recommending label materials. Based on your actual use (fridge, freezer, hotline), we choose the right combination of face material and adhesive.
Label Types We Commonly Produce
Use-By / Best-Before Stickers
Prep Date / Time Labels
Day Labels (Mon–Sun color-coded)
Allergen Labels / Instruction Labels
Storage Bin Labels
Removable or Dissolvable Labels (optional)
You can send us your label layout, or tell us what kind of format you need. We’ll help turn it into a print-ready file.
Material Options
We recommend different materials depending on how the label is applied and stored:
Writable Paper – For handwritten date/time, easy to use with pens or markers
Waterproof Film (PE/PET) – For cold, damp, or oily surfaces
Freezer-Grade Adhesive – Stays on in low temperatures
Removable Adhesive – Leaves no residue when peeled
Optional Dissolvable Paper – For high-turnover kitchens (can be rinsed off with water)
We’ll guide you on the best combination once we understand your kitchen setup and storage needs.

Black-and-white or color printing (e.g. color-coded weekdays)
