Labels for Every Food & Beverage Application
New Jersey is home to hundreds of food manufacturers, processors, distributors, and craft beverage producers. Since 1986, Certified Labeling Solutions has been their go-to label printer — producing FDA-aware labels that perform through production, distribution, retail, and consumer use.
From the small batch hot sauce maker in Bergen County to large-scale food processors in Central NJ, we scale to your volume. Our flexographic presses handle long runs efficiently; our digital capabilities serve short runs and variable data needs.
We understand the stakes: a label that fails to stick, fades in cold storage, or falls off in ice water isn't just a quality issue — it's a recall risk. We engineer food labels to survive the full cold chain and shelf life of your product.
Food & Beverage Label Types
Every format, every substrate, every regulatory requirement — covered.
Frozen Food Labels
Freezer-grade adhesives and face stocks designed for extreme cold. Labels maintain bond at temperatures down to -40°F and don't lift, curl, or delaminate in freezer environments.
Beverage & Bottle Labels
Waterproof BOPP and polyester labels for bottles, cans, and pouches. Withstand condensation, ice buckets, and refrigeration without lifting or hazing.
Nutrition Facts & Ingredient Panels
High-precision printing for regulatory content at small font sizes. We reproduce nutrition facts tables, allergen statements, and ingredient lists with FDA-required accuracy.
Craft Beverage Labels
Premium labels for craft beer, wine, spirits, kombucha, and cold brew. PANTONE-matched colors, metallic foils, matte/gloss finishes — shelf presence that sells.
Deli & Bakery Labels
Variable-weight labels, ingredient declarations, and use-by date labels for deli, bakery, and prepared foods. Thermal-compatible options for in-store printing.
Organic & Specialty Food Labels
Labels for USDA Organic certified products, non-GMO, allergen-free, and other specialty food segments. We ensure space for required certification logos and statements.
