If you are just getting to know the process of label printing and design, I would bet that you sometimes have trouble with your images. While the whole process of inserting color images in labels may sound simple, sometimes there are little complications in the settings and editing that make the image less than ideal for printed labels.
Do not worry though. We won’t let that happen to your own custom labels. Below is a list of tips that should help you manage your images so that they do not look bad, improper or amateurish . Just try to follow them and you’ll see results.
• For logos try to develop vectors – When you are using logos on your labels, it is good to try to develop vector based logo designs. Vector graphics are basically better suited for the different configurations and shapes of color labels because of they are easily scalable to any size that you need. It is very easy to develop vector logos using software like Adobe Illustrator. Just choose the best software application that you can use and then apply your vector logo into your label layout. Trust me, if you have many different color labels that need on particular common logo, vector logos will come in handy all the time.
• For images use high-res – If you are using real images for your color labels, you should always try to use only the ones that are in high resolution formats. A high resolution image will look better and cleaner in label printing if you compare it to the same kind of printing with internet based images. The fact is, high resolution images of course have more detail than those low resolution ones. So it is best to use only the higher resolution ones to make sure your color labels look sharp and clear.
• Always correct colors and vibrancy – Another good tip for your images in label printing is to always correct the colors of the raw image and adjust its vibrancy. Most raw images will still need some enhancing one way or another to make them really pop out from the color labels. So it is good to use some auto-color-correct features and adjust the vibrancy of your images so that they will really look impressive when printed into those labels.
• Crop closely and accurately – Also keep in mind that you should always crop your images closely and accurately for your labels. You won’t want a stray element or pixel to ruin the whole design of the custom labels of course. So make sure that you go beyond the rectangular cropping that some software use. Try to do your cropping line by line and pixel by pixel so that you only lift the main image that you need for your labels and nothing more.
• Blend the images well – Finally, never forget to try to blend your images well into your label. This can be in the form of a border, a shadow effect, fade effects or maybe simple textures that you can apply to both images and the general background of the label. The more integrated your images are, the more coherent looking those color labels should be.
Great! With all these preparations going on, I am sure that you will get the correct labels that you want with professional image quality. Just take note of these and remember.
