For curbside pickup, takeout and other to-go options you can order labels that you can print yourself as needed from a laser or inkjet printer, or order custom printed labels.

The seals give an extra layer of security to takeout bags, boxes, foil containers and other to-go items. They also provide a great space to add branding and other messaging.

You can easily customize the food labels using our free templates or by uploading your own graphics. Just pick the size label you need, find your favourite design or upload your own and customize. Then you can simply print them yourself or let us print them for you.

For point-of-sale customization, just use a ballpoint pen, gel pen or permanent marker to add special instructions, requests or other important information to your labels.
