Solution — Custom Labels

Labels That Match Your Can — Color, Curve, and Finish

Wrap-around and front-panel labels for snus and nicotine pouches. PP, paper, and metallic substrates. Designed, printed, and dimension-matched to MANKE can specs.

Why Label-Can Matching Is Hard

My labels look perfect on screen but mismatch the can color in real life

When labels and cans are sourced separately, color temperature differences between substrates create visible mismatch under retail lighting. You only discover it when the first shipment arrives — and the batch is already committed.

Labels wrinkle or peel because dimensions were guessed, not measured

Generic label suppliers work from approximate diameters. A 0.5mm variance on a curved surface means bubbles, creases, or lifting edges. Reworking 10,000 labels is not an option at pilot scale.

Complex designs rejected at low volume or pushed to oversimplified one-color prints

Gradient fills, metallic substrates, and fine-line details are often reserved for 50,000+ label runs. At 10,000 units, many printers force a basic design that strips away the brand premium you are trying to build.

From Artwork to Adhesive in 5 Steps

Free digital proof. Physical sample approval. Locked color and dimension specs. No surprises at 10,000 units.

01

Artwork or Brief

Upload your design files (AI, EPS, PDF, PNG 300dpi) or send us a creative brief. Our designer creates a label layout matched to your MANKE can model within 48 hours.

02

Can-Label Matching

We verify dimensions, curvature, and adhesive compatibility against the exact can spec you are ordering. No more labels that wrinkle, peel, or sit off-center.

03

Digital Proof

Free digital preview showing label placement on a 3D can render. Review color, registration, and finish under simulated store lighting before any physical sample.

04

Sample Approval

Physical printed label sample shipped in 7 days. Test hand feel, adhesive strength, and color accuracy on your actual can. No production commitment until you approve.

05

Production & QC

Full production run with locked Pantone references and die-cut specs. Inline QC checks color consistency, registration, and adhesion across every batch.

Order Labels Alone or Bundle with Cans

Custom can labels are available as a standalone product or as part of a turnkey branding kit. When ordered together, we guarantee color, finish, and dimensional compatibility — one accountability, one contact, one invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order labels without ordering cans?
Yes. Custom can labels are available as a standalone product with the same 10,000-unit MOQ. However, if you also need cans, we strongly recommend ordering both together so we can match color temperature, finish, and curvature in one workflow — eliminating the mismatch risk entirely.
What artwork formats do you accept?
We prefer vector files in AI, EPS, or PDF format. For raster images, PNG or TIFF at 300dpi minimum is required. Our pre-press team converts all files to print-ready separations and provides a digital proof within 48 hours.
What label substrates are available?
We offer PP (water-resistant, ideal for refrigeration), coated paper (cost-effective for dry storage), and metallic substrates (premium shelf appeal). All substrates are food-contact compliant. Substrate recommendation depends on your storage conditions and brand positioning.
How do you ensure the label matches my can color?
When labels and cans are ordered together, we produce both under the same lighting conditions and color reference standards. Pantone matching is included at no extra charge. For standalone label orders, we ask for a physical can sample or Pantone reference of the can body to calibrate our proof.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Custom can labels start at 10,000 units per design. This applies whether you order labels alone or as part of a can + label bundle. For pilot runs under 10,000 units, contact us — we may accommodate digital-print prototypes depending on schedule.
Can you help with design if I do not have finished artwork?
Yes. Our packaging design partners can create or refine your label artwork for an additional fee. This includes logo placement, color scheme recommendations, regulatory label layout, and die-line setup. Design services are billed separately from the label production order.
