Want your labels to look a bit different? Want fresh new ideas, layouts that help make your label printing more distinct and become the talk of the market? If you do, then you have to think differently. You have to take your color labels into a different route in design, away from the typical things most people do with their custom labels. Let me give you some of my best tips on how to do things a little bit differently with some custom color labels.
• Refrain from using templates – You will be surprised as to the many different things you can do if you refrain from using those standard design templates. While label templates are of great use, helping you design color labels faster, it also has a way of defining and limiting your designs. To avoid this from happening , and of course to take your color labels to a new direction, you should refrain from using your typical label templates. Try to develop something from the ground up on your own and see the possibilities with your color labels. Without those standard limitations, you should gain some fresh new perspectives and ideas that should make your custom labels more unique.
• Look for inspiration beyond prints – Now, if inspiration is the problem for your label printing, you might want to go beyond looking at sample prints for new ideas in your design. I find it very engaging to look at other design inspirations that are not printed. For example, you can look at architecture, sculpture, gadget designs, gadget themes, video graphics, paintings and even just the plain old beauty of nature to find new ideas for your labels. By looking at different aspects of color, depth, shapes etc. in these other art mediums, you might be able to find something fresh that you can apply to your label printing. So open up your mind and see what really looks good and beautiful.
• Use the newest and updated software – Sometimes, the limitations in design can also comes from your main tools. That is why it is important that you try to use the newest and most updated design software applications to use for your label designs. The newer the software the more powerful and the more design features you can experiment with. Sometimes the most updated software can do things that you never thought possible yet for your label designs. So make sure that you get the newest design tools at your disposal, to keep your design innovations coming.
• Discover new materials for printing – You might also want to think of something new on the printing side of things. There are always new materials and new types of combinations of paper and ink that can make a label design look better and more impressive. This can be the use of a special metallic or glossy ink, plus water resistant paper. There are plenty of options out there for paper, inks and even for cutting and coatings. You should try to mix and match your printing options and discover the best combinations that should make your custom label design look really fresh and new. Just ask your label printer what are the best new paper and inks for the job.
So as you can see, there are many avenues by which you can change your color label design and make them into something really new and original You just need to open up your mind and take different untried routes for your design and layout. Good Luck!
