Most brand owners don’t realize this, but the most expensive label problems aren’t design issues — they’re technical issues that never get caught until money is already spent.

I see the same mistakes over and over again:
• Artwork sized fractions of an inch off → higher production cost
• Fonts that look great on screen but fail real-world readability
• Beautiful design that hide the product identity
• Missing compliance items no one noticed
• Wrong material for the container → peeling, wrinkling, bubbling
• Incorrect bleed/safe zones → print rejects

These aren’t “creative problems.”
They’re production problems — and they cost brands thousands every year.

Basic online printers simply print whatever you upload.
If the artwork has issues, it becomes your problem, not theirs.

In growth-stage CPG, you can’t afford preventable mistakes.

This is why every label should be checked by someone who knows print, compliance, materials, and packaging behavior — not just design.

Why brands waste so much money printing bad labels that could’ve been fixed in 10 minutes

We see this all the time at InkWise:

• Labels sized differently across SKUs (drives up costs)
• Beautiful designs that confuse shoppers
• Fonts that look great in design software but fail real-world readability
• “Final” artwork missing key compliance elements
• No pre-production review before printing

Most of these issues take minutes—not hours—to fix.
But if no one catches them, they lead to:

→ Higher print costs
→ Slower leadtimes
→ Reprints and wasted inventory
→ Labels that don’t actually help the product sell

At InkWise, we don’t just print what you send in.
We review every file to make sure your labels are accurate and cost-efficient before they hit the press.

A small adjustment can save hundreds (sometimes thousands).

If you want us to double-check your next print run, just send a message. We're happy to help.

Too many brands treat packaging like a last-minute design task — the thing you do after the formula, the branding, the marketing plan.

But here’s the truth: your label is the first salesperson your customer meets.
And it makes the pitch in seconds.

A winning label does three things:
• Signals trust — clean design, professional ex*****on, accurate compliance.
• Fits the category — so buyers instantly know what it is.
• Stands out just enough — so they remember it.

Pretty labels win awards.
Proper labels win sales.

-> At InkWise, that’s our focus: packaging designed to sell.

As brands continue to incorporate QR Codes into their product labels, the next step has become directing consumers to details and education on product ingredients.

“In the cluttered marketplace of clean skincare, making better products is not enough…transparency is the one thing that matters the most to customers and can help set brands apart.”

With brands promising consumers transparency, they're including more on labels to provide information. QR codes are one way to do that.

A new study shows consumers are more open than ever to products from small CPG brands.

“There’s never been a better time with all the disruption that’s happening for a small brand to be successful.”

“There’s never been a better time with all the disruption that’s happening for a small brand to be successful,” says NielsenIQ's Andrew Criezis.
