About Printed Labels

Printed labels are frequently use in garments and apparels, but it can also be used in accessories, footwear, furniture, and other products that need custom printed labels for branding and information. Custom printed labels are versatile and we can print on many different substrates. 

All of Yellow Code printed labels use flexographic ink which does not wash off or fade after only a few uses. There is a cheaper process called “hot stamping” and we do not use this process.  Many other label companies use the cheaper method of printing, so be aware.
