What Are Custom Popcorn Labels?
Custom popcorn labels are printed stickers with an adhesive back. You apply them to popcorn packaging to show your brand, the flavor, and the product details. One label can turn a plain bag or tub into a branded product.
Where popcorn labels are used
- Popcorn bags and stand-up pouches
- Popcorn tubs and cones
- Popcorn boxes, such as our popcorn boxes
- Popcorn tins and jars
- Gift sets and party favor packs
Popcorn Label Materials
Popcorn is oily, so the label stock matters. Pick the material based on where the label sits and how much oil or moisture it will touch.

Which Material Works For Oily Popcorn
Choose waterproof BOPP or vinyl for buttered, caramel, or cheese popcorn. These films resist oil, moisture, and scratches. Paper labels work well on the outside of a sealed box or on dry packaging.
Adhesive options
- Permanent: stays on for the life of the package. Use it for bags, boxes, and pouches.
- Removable: peels off clean. Use it for tins and jars that customers reuse.
- Weather-Resistant: holds in heat, cold, and damp air. Use it for outdoor stands and events.
Roll labels or sheet labels
Roll labels suit large runs and work with a label dispenser. Sheet labels suit small batches that you peel and apply by hand.
How to measure your package for a label
- Find the flat area where the label will sit.
- Measure the width and height of that area.
- Take off a small margin on each side so the label does not wrap over an edge or seam.
- Send us the final width and height with your artwork.
Printing and Finish Options
Your artwork is printed in full color on the stock you choose. Free design help is included with every order.
Digital printing suits smaller orders and many flavor designs. Offset printing suits large orders of one design. CMYK gives full color for photos and artwork, and PMS matches your exact brand color on every label. Soy-based ink is available on request.
Finishes
Gloss makes colors look bright. Matte cuts glare and gives a soft look. Soft-touch adds a smooth, velvet feel, and UV coating adds a hard layer that guards the print. Foil stamping and embossing add a metallic or raised logo for gift packs.
What to Print on a Popcorn Label
A popcorn label does two jobs. It sells the product, and it tells the buyer what is inside.
Brand and flavor details
Start with your brand name and logo. Add the flavor name, such as butter, caramel, cheddar, or kettle corn. Give each flavor its own color so buyers can tell them apart on the shelf. You can also add a short message for events, gifts, or seasonal packs.
Food Label Details
Packaged popcorn sold in US stores usually needs these details on the pack. Check the FDA food labeling rules that apply to your business.
- Product name
- Net weight
- Ingredient list
- Allergen statement, for items like milk, soy, or tree nuts
- Nutrition Facts panel
- Business name and address
- Barcode and best-by date
