Return Address Labels

Create and order custom return address labels for business use

Businesses of all types and sizes use mail at some level and having personalized return address labels printed gives an impression of professionalism and strengthens branding in the mind of the consumer.

The cost of custom return address labels is minimal and the small investment gives back big returns. Not only does outgoing mail look professional, but also it adds quality to any outgoing package. Use the labels on plain quality stock paper to create instant letterhead or put them on shopping bags creating an elegant look to a plain bag. Some things to consider when creating and ordering return address labels are:

1. Have a design in mind and know what information to include on the label.

2. Choose the appropriate material, ink and style to fit your business.

3. Order return address labels in either rolls or sheets and look for price breaks for the quantity needed.

 

Decide what information to put on the return address label

Depending on the size of the label and the budget, businesses can include their company logo, photo or slogan on the label giving it a custom and professional look. Telephone, fax and website are optional, but many consumers find it handy to have this information handy. Choose a small label to fit on envelopes, or packages or a large label with the top half listing your company information and the bottom half blank for addressing. Some styles offer a vertical design with pre-printed information running the length of the far left side and the right side open.
Try: Companies like Elite Designs Labels and Printing and PaperDirect have the option to upload the company’s artwork online and offer several design options in their custom templates.

Pick out features for customized return address labels

Know your business' mailing needs and choose label aspects accordingly. For items handled frequently, smudge-proof ink or paper is a worthy investment. If your business lends itself to bright colors, labels in these eye-catching colors fit in nicely.
Try: North Coast Tape and Label has a nice process outlined online, so the company can gather the necessary information and call to speak directly with a representative to order the labels. In-Touch Direct gives the buyer a choice between black and white, two color and four color formats.

Decide how many return address labels to order

If you're working on a limited budget, look for price breaks with less color, or use return address label templates offered by the company and insert your own artwork to personalize the return address labels. For a quick customization, order photo return address labels with a company photo. Smaller labels are often cheaper as well. Don't count out buying in bulk if the company information is not likely to change. Investing a little more can get a lot more labels and bump you up to the next level offered.
Try: Advanced Labels treats every customer regardless of the size of the order the same and offers laser labels that go into printers to print return address labels with the “To” information on larger labels. Address Labels 4U offers a large line of low cost custom printed return address labels.

 

• Allow for shipping time as most custom orders of return address mailing labels take about 2-3 weeks for delivery.
