Labels, especially color labels for business have specific layout or design goals that need to be reached. For your designs to be accepted for label printing, you must achieve these design goals first. No business color labels are worth printing if you have not yet satisfied these goals, and you won’t really get any results from them even if you try.
So let me tell you about your layout goals for label printing. Try to achieve these goals first to help develop effective color labels for your business. Just read the list below and study these goals.
1. To gain attention – The very first and perhaps most important design goal for a color label is to gain attention. People of course are busy all the time and the color label (for whatever purpose) must always try to distract people from their busy lives and get itself noticed. It must always be highly visible and distracting so that it can start communicating information.
Gaining attention with labels are done in many ways. The most common of these would be using bright and unusual colors, inserting impressive or provocative images and of course using words of powerful Interest such as “Free” and “Profits”. So if you want a proper color label, your designs must have a way to gain the attention of people first through these distracting design elements.
2. To generate interest or appeal – Next up, your labels must appeal to people. After getting their attention, you must have design elements that generally interest your target readers. They might get distracted by the unusual color of the labels, however after a few seconds of analysis, they might think that the label is of no Interest.
So you must offer something that the reader wants to see or read about. If they want knowledge, tell them that there is something of interest that they want to know. If they want to get some free things or discounts, show them discount percentages. If they want to keep safe or need a guide, tell them that the label can help them. You must basically do all you can to show them that the label is worth reading . They must find a certain gain into reading the whole label through, so design and compose your content accordingly.
3. To inform – Of course, the meat of the objectives in label design is the objective to inform. In this objective the composition and the layout is key. In terms of the content composition, your color labels must have text elements that are detailed, short and concise. Moreover, these text elements must use simple and easily understandable fonts and formatting so that people can read them easily. You should make sure that everyone has an easy time reading the text elements of your labels to make sure that the information you want gets through to readers effectively.
4. To encourage to act – Finally, color label designs will of course have the objective to encourage people to act. It might be to stay away from something, or it might be to buy something, or might be a myriad of other actions. Whatever the case, labels and its designs need to encourage people to do some actions.
This is done through a creative and visible design element that precisely tells people what they need to do. A simple “call us now!” can suffice, but sometimes step by step instructions are needed. Make no mistake though, it is best to have design elements mean to encourage people to act. Once people know what they need to do, they are more likely to respond to these printed color labels.
So those are your layout goals for label printing. Try to integrate these design tips for your labels to make sure that they are effective enough in the market.
