Let’s Talk About Price

Price vs Value

Every brand is unique. So is every label order we print. A label is the gateway for a brand and part of the initial step of the buyers journey. Design, functionality, and quality all play an equally important role to ensure your label evokes your brand message. The most common question we get from new brands and first time customers is “how much will my label cost?” To answer simply; it varies! We don’t have a set price sheet as every label produced is custom. There are numerous factors that play into your label price and we have compiled some of the common factors that impact price below.


Every label we print is custom and priced accordingly. A simple paper label with varnish would be considered very economical while a textured paper label with metallic foil decoration would be a more expensive label. Contact a label solutions specialist to discuss the details of your label project and they will help guide you to the best solution for your budget.


Variables that Affect Label Price


  • Material: As with all products, some label materials are more expensive than others. Standard paper is going to be a more economical option than a textured specialty stock. Read our blog on creating the right label for you to learn more about our material options.
  • Size: Pricing will vary depending on if the label is small or large. Our team will select the printing press (flexographic or digital) that is ideal for your label to ensure it is run most efficiently and get you the best price.
  • Quantity: Label price is completely dependent on quantity, and we do have order minimums listed below. Each time a label is produced there is a standard set of setup requirements on press to ensure quality standards are met. We recommend getting a custom quote to see the price for your desired amount. Don’t forget, the more you buy the lower the per label cost will be!
  • Decoration: We offer many specialty print features like hot stamping and custom die cuts. Keep in mind that as your label becomes more complex with added features, price will also increase.


Value and Price


We understand there will be a desired budget for every project and we strive to achieve a quality printed label within that budget. But we also place a large emphasis on value and finding the best and lowest cost solution for your brand in the long run. A cheap label can often reflect poorly on your brand as a whole or lead to recalls and the team at Dion works diligently to ensure every label meets your expectation.


Minimum Orders


We discussed above that quantity plays into your label price and we frequently get asked “what is your minimum order?” Though minimum orders vary based on product type, here are minimums of our most popular products. Keep in mind that our minimum order value is $415 for a digitally printed job.


  • Standard labels: 1,000 labels per item
  • Peel back labels: 5,000 labels per item
  • Booklet labels: 10,000 labels per item
  • Shrink sleeves: 5,000 sleeves per item

Designing a label can be an involved process; logos, fonts, layout, material, and finish all must be taken into account. Then there’s the product-specific copy and information to include. It’s easy to get hung up on any or all of these things, but don’t forget to consider the importance of color selection While you may be choosing your colors based on your product or on your own color preference, you always want to make sure your colors are communicating the right thing to potential customers.

As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
