Tea labels for tins, pouches and sample sachets

Tea label ideas
Colour by family
Black, green, herbal and oolong each get a colour band; a shopper can find their favourite from across the shop.
Steeping details
Water temperature and time are small text. Check they are legible on the proof at 100 percent.
Tins and lids
A round label on a tin lid and a rectangular side label gives two surfaces for brand and details.
Kraft pouches
On kraft, clear or white labels read well. Clear with white ink lets the kraft show through the margins.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock is the natural pick for tea. Gold or silver foil suits premium and gift blends, and clear stock works nicely on kraft pouches where you want the paper colour to show.

Questions about tea labels
Do you offer labels for hot-brew samples?
Labels go on packaging, not on cups. Keep them away from heat.
Can I print many blends at once?
Yes, one design per blend in a single checkout.
Are labels suitable for kraft bags?
Yes; test adhesion on your bag type first.

Coffee labels
A coffee label has to sell the roast from a crowded shelf, survive kraft bags and countertop spills, and leave room for the details buyers look for: origin, roast, tasting notes.
Paper-look labels
Many brands want the soft, natural look of a paper label.
Clear labels
Clear labels print your artwork on a transparent film so the glass, plastic or metal underneath shows through.
Gift labels
Gift labels turn wrapped paper into something special: a name on a tag, a seal over tissue, a message on a hamper.
