6 Cosmetic Labeling Tips You Should Know

If your company sells cosmetic products, you are selling items that help your customers look their best. It’s only natural to invest in product labeling that makes your products look their best as well. In the cosmetics industry, it is essential to convey quality, class, and performance to your customers. Century Label offers custom cosmetic line product labeling to capture customers’ attention and increase your sales.

When you want to develop new labels for your cosmetic products, follow a few simple tips for more successful results.

1. Research before You Start Designing

Take time to look at the cosmetic products available in your market. Which brands are the most successful? Do you notice any similarities or trends when it comes to how they label and market their products? Which demographic are you targeting with your products? Use these questions to inform your strategy when it comes to developing eye-catching cosmetic product labels.

2. Know the Latest Trends

You might be looking at selling to a target market or within a target area, but, even if you’re not planning on marketing your products nationwide or worldwide, you should have a finger on the pulse of the latest cosmetic industry trends. Look outside your target market and at which products are selling the most and what design trends you can spot when it comes to their labeling and packaging.

3. Carefully Consider Every Design Element

Your brand likely has a color palette of two or three colors used in your branded imagery and logo, and you have also probably decided on a typeface for your labeling and packaging as well. Before committing to a design, look at every possible configuration, different color schemes, and consider how your different layouts will look on different types of products. For example, you might have a design you really like for a pouched product, but that design may not translate well to a tubed product like lipstick or a tube of eyeliner.

4. Choose the Right Packaging

Cosmetics need to stay fresh and ready to use, so offering portability is a great selling point. Most women who use cosmetics like to take some wherever they go to reapply and touch up as needed. Choose packaging that not only offers portability and ease of use, but that is also attractive to convey high quality to your customers.

5. Choose a Focal Point for Every Product Label Design

While it’s essential to include all regulatory information, ingredients, and other essential product details, it is also important to devise a label design that clearly draws the eye to the package.

6. Choose the Right Label Partner

Choosing the right labeling partner can make a big difference in the outcome of your product labels and their effectiveness as marketing tools. Century Label has more than 40 years of experience providing professionally designed labels to customers working in various industries, including cosmetic product manufacturing.
