- Freezer labels — 3mil vinyl with freezer-grade adhesive (ARLPMF7008). Holds at -18°C through condensation cycles. Used by Saskatoon raw pet food makers, butchers, and frozen food manufacturers.

Frequently asked
Which type of label do I need?
It depends on the environment. Freezer? Use freezer labels (ARLPMF7008 adhesive for -18°C). Retail shelf? Product labels work — gloss, matte, or soft-touch finish. Skincare or bath product? Cosmetic labels on waterproof BOPP vinyl. Candle jar with hot wax? Candle labels with heat-resistant adhesive. Need thousands on a roll for automated dispensing? Roll labels. Call (306) 954-8688 and describe the job — we'll pick the material for you.
How much do custom labels cost in Saskatoon?
Pricing starts at $5.50/sqft on 3mil vinyl, with four sqft tiers that scale down as orders grow: $5.50 for 0–12 sqft, $5.00 for 12–32 sqft, $4.30 for 32–100 sqft, $3.20 for 100+ sqft. Minimum charge is $30 per order. Real-world anchor: a 10×2" label at quantity 500 runs about $300. Roll labels are custom-quoted because the run size, die shape, and material core all affect setup.
What's the turnaround on custom labels?
Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days after artwork approval. Same-day rush is +$40 flat as long as the order is placed before 10 AM and the artwork is approved by mid-morning. Both print and design happen in the same building so there's no file-handoff delay between vendors.
Can you contour-cut labels to a custom shape?
Yes — we cut to rectangle, rounded corner, oval, circle, or custom contour shape on the same job. Setup is included in the per-sqft rate; there's no separate die charge. Kiss-cut sheets, perfed tear-off lot codes, and unusual shapes are all available. Describe what you need when you call (306) 954-8688 or visit 216 33rd St W.
Do I need print-ready artwork?
If you have it (AI, PDF, PSD, PNG, JPG, even a high-quality photo of what you're trying to recreate), send it and we'll proof it. If you don't, our in-house Photoshop designer builds a label layout for $35 flat with a same-day proof. Logos, ingredient panels, weight/lot tracking fields, barcodes — all standard label work, all included in the $35.
Can True Color print labels for a packaging line?
Yes — for automated packaging lines we supply roll labels on a continuous backing roll with a 3" core (or specify your dispenser core size). Roll labels are custom-quoted per run because die shape, label gap, and total quantity all affect setup. Call (306) 954-8688 with your label dimensions, dispenser specs, and quantity and we'll quote in the same conversation.
Where do you ship labels?
Most orders are picked up at 216 33rd St W, Saskatoon. We can also courier or mail across Saskatchewan — Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Yorkton, Lloydminster — at the customer's shipping cost. Local pickup adds no fee and is fastest.
What materials do you use for labels?
Standard stock is 3mil white vinyl with a permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. For freezer use we switch to freezer-grade adhesive (ARLPMF7008) that holds at -18°C. For cosmetics we use BOPP vinyl which is waterproof against bathroom humidity. For candles we use a heat-resistant adhesive that bonds to warm glass without bubbling. UV-cured inks across all — they cure to a solid film rather than soaking into the substrate, which is why the print stays sharp through moisture, frost, and thaw cycles.
