From Proof to Print: Tips for Error-Free Labels

When it comes to designing labels, even the most meticulous teams sometimes miss a detail or two. If you’ve ever reviewed your label art multiple times, shared it with team members for feedback, and still discovered mistakes after printing, you’re not alone. At Inovar Packaging Group, we understand how frustrating this can be, which is why we work with you to ensure your labels are flawless from start to finish.

Here’s how Inovar Packaging Group helps mitigate common label art mistakes and ensures your labels look exactly as you envisioned.

Whether it’s a minor typo in a marketing email or a glaring mistake on a product label, the impact can vary. But if you’re dealing with the latter, you need a partner you can trust to catch errors before they go to print. That’s where Inovar Packaging Group steps in.

Our team of experts are committed to reviewing every detail of your label to make sure it meets the highest standards. We offer multiple rounds of checks and communication, from initial proofs to final production, ensuring you catch mistakes before they become costly.

Here are three frequent label art mistakes we see, and how our team at Inovar Packaging Group can help you avoid them:

1. Typos and Copy Errors

Typos are one of the most common errors in label art, and they’re the easiest to avoid with careful attention. A typo on your label can give the wrong impression of your brand, making it appear unprofessional or careless. At Inovar, we have a dedicated team of proofreaders who perform manual checks of all artwork before it goes to print. They review your copy line by line and ensure everything is correct before you sign off on your final proof. This process helps catch even the smallest of errors and ensures that your label reflects the quality your brand stands for.

2. Illegibility and Design Oversights

When designing labels, it’s easy to overlook how text and graphic elements will appear in print. The colors you see on your screen may not translate perfectly to the printed label, and small text that seems legible on your computer screen can be hard to read when printed at a smaller scale. Our prepress team is trained to spot these potential issues before they become a problem. We carefully check that the text size, color contrast, and graphic alignment are all legible, ensuring your label is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Our team will also verify the technical aspects of your design, including bleed lines, corner radius, and die-cut measurements. This step guarantees that all elements of your design are correctly aligned and fit the specifications of the final product.

3. Unsuitable Graphic Use

Complex graphics or logos that look great on a digital screen may not translate well to print. Elements like certification logos (e.g., ‘Certified Organic’ or ‘Non-GMO’) are common, but if they aren’t properly aligned, sized, or colored, they can detract from the professionalism of your label. The Inovar team carefully checks these graphic elements and ensures that they are positioned correctly for the final print. Our prepress experts ensure that everything—from colors to alignment—is perfect before your label goes to press.

At Inovar Packaging Group, we don’t just print labels; we partner with you to make sure your labels communicate the right message to your customers. Our ISO-certified quality control processes, combined with our dedicated art and pre-press teams, ensure that your labels are printed with the utmost care and attention to detail. We’ll guide you through every step of the process, from artwork setup to the final proof, and we’re always available to help with questions or concerns.
