We carry a variety of canned beverage labels to fit both standard and slim cans and offer many sizes, including the popular 12 oz., 16 oz., and larger growler-sized cans.
How Do We Use Labels in Different Situations?
Labels are powerful tools used in many different settings. In the beverage industry, can labels communicate your brand story, ingredients, and regulatory information while making your product stand out on the shelf. In other business contexts, labels help identify inventory, organize files, track shipments, and provide safety warnings or usage instructions.
Labels are just as useful in personal settings. You can use labels to organize home pantries, storage bins, and moving boxes, or to personalize gifts, party favors, and homemade products like candles, sauces, or craft beers. Whether you are managing a growing beverage brand, running a small business, or organizing your home, labels provide clarity, consistency, and visual appeal.
How Labels Improve Organization and Efficiency in Canning
The canning process can create challenges for label applications, which is why it’s critical to work with a printing partner that understands the unique requirements of the industry. Properly designed and applied labels help ensure your beverages are canned and labeled without any hiccups, reducing waste and production delays.
Beyond the production line, labels improve organization and efficiency by making products, batches, and flavors easy to identify at a glance. Clear, durable labels help your team quickly pick, pack, and ship the right products, streamline inventory management, and maintain accurate records. In retail environments, consistent labeling strengthens brand recognition and helps customers find what they want faster, leading to a better overall experience.
Common Materials Used for Making Labels
Labels can be produced using a range of materials depending on how and where they will be used. For canned beverages and other products exposed to moisture, condensation, or refrigeration, synthetic plastic materials such as polypropylene or BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) are popular because they are water-resistant, durable, and hold color well. These materials help your labels remain intact and vibrant even in coolers and ice buckets.
Paper labels are commonly used for dry goods, short-term promotions, or indoor applications where moisture is not a concern. Specialty materials and finishes, such as metallic foils, textured papers, or matte and gloss varnishes, can add a premium look and feel to your labels. At InTouch Labels & Packaging, we can recommend the best label material and finish for your specific product, environment, and design goals.
How to Create Custom Labels for Your Products
Creating custom labels for your products starts with understanding your brand, your container, and your compliance needs. For canned beverages, you will want a label that fits your can size, meets industry regulations, and reflects your brand’s unique personality.
You can begin by reviewing our label templates for common canned beverage label sizes. These templates help you design artwork that fits standard and slim cans, including 12 oz., 16 oz., and growler-sized formats. Once you have your artwork ready, our team can guide you through material selection, finishes, and any special features you may want, such as specialty coatings or embellishments.

Can Labels Be Used for Both Personal and Business Purposes?
Yes, labels are extremely versatile and can be used for both personal and business purposes. For businesses, labels are essential for branding, compliance, logistics, and marketing. In the beverage space, custom can labels help you differentiate your products, communicate flavor profiles and ingredients, and meet regulatory requirements, all while reinforcing a consistent brand identity across your product line.
For personal use, labels can add a professional touch to homemade beverages, gifts, or event favors, and they can make home organization much easier. Whether you are a craft brewer just starting out, a growing beverage brand expanding into new markets, or an individual looking to personalize your creations, custom labels provide a polished, functional solution.
