Lip balm labels for tubes and tins

Tiny label tips
Measure the tube
Tube labels wrap a curve. Measure the circumference and leave a tiny gap, so the label does not overlap itself.
Bold and short
Flavour name and brand only on the front; keep ingredients to a back strip or the carton.
Handbag survival
Lip balm lives in pockets and bags. Waterproof film resists scuffs and moisture.
Flavour sets
A shared layout with a colour per flavour sells as a set.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white is a clean base for small type. Clear stock lets a coloured tube show through. Foil can add a premium look to a small brand mark.
