START WHERE YOU ARE
Not Every Label Project Starts From Scratch.
You might be building a label from scratch, looking for a new supplier for something already in production, or trying to fix a label that isn't doing its job. Wherever the project stands today, give us what you know and we'll take it from there.
01
New Product
Launching something new?
Start with the product, package, artwork, or even just the idea.
02
Existing Product
Already in production but need a new label, an update, or a different supplier? Start here.
03
Reorder / Repeat
Know what you need and ready for another run? Send us the details of the existing label and what you need next.
04
Label Problem
Adhesion, durability, print quality, supply, timing. If something isn't working, show us what's going on.

HOW WE PRINT
The Project Determines the Process.
A smaller run may call for a different production approach than a large repeat order. Materials, application, artwork, quantity, and how the finished label will be used can also affect how it's produced. Cummins has multiple ways to print and finish labels, so the project helps determine the process.
Digital Printing
Built for Flexibility
Digital printing can make sense when quantities are smaller, versions change frequently, or a project doesn't justify traditional plate setup. It's also useful when you're managing seasonal labels, multiple SKUs, or artwork that may change each run.
flexographic printing
Made for Production
As quantities grow, flexographic printing can offer a more efficient production path while supporting demanding color and material requirements. Cummins Label's 10 color flexographic capability is built for larger and repeat production runs.
finishing + materials
More Than Ink on a Roll
Foil, embossing, specialty stocks, substrates, and adhesives can change how a label looks, feels, and performs. The right choices depend on the product, surface, environment, and what the label has to do once it's applied.
The printing method is a production decision, not something you need to figure out before getting started.
where labels work
The Environment Matters.
A label on a refrigerated bottle faces a different job than one attached to industrial equipment. Surface, moisture, temperature, handling, exposure, and shelf conditions can all affect what belongs on the product. That's why application matters just as much as the appearance.
Food + beverage
Packaging that may face refrigeration, moisture, handling, and changing storage conditions.
Health + personal care
Products where the shelf appearance, brand presentation, packaging, and frequent handling can all matter.
industrial + Manufacturing
Labels used for identification, instructions, tracking, or other functional needs, not just presentation.
consumer products
Labels that have to work on the package while clearly presenting the product, brand, and information customers need to see.
Food + beverage
Packaging that may face refrigeration, moisture, handling, and changing storage conditions.
Health + personal care
Products where the label has to work with the container, frequent handling, and the conditions it's used in.
industrial + ManuFACTURing
Labels used for identification, instructions, tracking, or other functional needs, not just presentation.
consumer products
Different packages, surfaces, and product uses can create very different labeling requirements.
