Food & Beverage Labels

Minimizes Unnecessary Contact
Keeping a safe and sanitary work environment at your restaurant is extremely important for your employees and your customers. To avoid the spread of germs in your establishment, you must start by lowering the number of direct contact customers and employees make with your grab-and-go foods.

Increases Order Accuracy
One of the largest customer-facing issues restaurants face is mixed up or inaccurate orders. In order to keep customers satisfied at your restaurant, you must make sure your to-go meals are properly organized. At first glance, many of your premade meals might look the same to customers and may cause confusion. Employees might also be spending extra time sorting through prepared foods and beverages and will benefit from using labels to streamline their work.

Enhances Organization
If you are constantly looking for ways to improve the organization in your commercial kitchen, labeling food and drink items is extremely helpful for employees and customers alike. As meals are being prepared, keep food labels nearby so employees can accurately markdown and separate different foods to avoid any confusion. If your restaurant’s menu includes major food allergens, food labels can also aid in preventing any possible contaminations while serving customers.

Reduces Waste
Believe it or not, placing food labels on your menu items is a great way to reduce waste at your restaurant. Restaurant owners are aware of how costly purchasing an excessive amount of ingredients can be, just for your inventory to go bad. Food often spoils if it goes unused for a certain amount of time, and that can drastically impact your restaurant’s budget for inventory. Food and beverage labels help eliminate this issue because you can mark down their expiration dates to help prevent over purchasing and the amount of food wasted.

Enforces Branding
Including a food or beverage label on your prepared meals is the perfect advertising opportunity for your foodservice establishment. Creating a cohesive look in your take out supplies is an essential part of branding and bringing in potential customers. Consider placing your restaurant’s logo on labels or using colorful labels that match the aesthetic of your establishment.

Streamlines Catering Orders
Using food and beverage labels to package catered lunches and assembled meals will allow your company to stand out from the competition. Food labels add a professional and organized look to containers, which clients greatly appreciate when they are providing food to their offices or guests.

Paper Labels
Paper labels are the most common type of beverage labeling. They provide an economical solution for producing drinks like water bottles and beer bottles. The paper can be coated or uncoated to give it a smooth look. It can also have a textured feel with a rough finish. This type of label is also easy to print on and offers a good surface for high-quality graphics that pop.

Plastic Labels
Plastic labels are best for beverages needing to withstand moisture, oil, abrasion, or chemicals. These labels are durable enough to survive in damp environments such as refrigerators and storage areas where spills might occur, and they have excellent shelf life without discoloration or fading.

Shrink Sleeves
Shrink sleeves are popular in the beverage industry because they cover a large portion of the package, offering more space for branding and logos than other label types. Shrink sleeves wrap around the container at 360 degrees, conforming tightly to every contour, so minimal adhesive has to be applied.
