Pet label considerations
Say which pet
Dog, cat, small animal: put the animal icon and word where shoppers look first.
Keep text legible
Feeding guidance and ingredients are small print; check them at 100 percent on the proof.
Bag surfaces
Flexible bags wrinkle labels. Use a smaller label on the flattest section.
Treat variety
One design per treat, with a shared layout and a colour per flavour.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock is durable against grease and handling. Clear stock lets a kraft bag show through. A gold foil accent suits premium or gift treats.

Paper-look labels
Many brands want the soft, natural look of a paper label.
Jar labels
Whether it holds honey, candles, balms or sauce, a jar offers three label spots: the lid, the side and a wrap-around.
Pouch and bag labels
Pouches are flexible and often textured, which makes labelling trickier than on rigid containers.
