Design the label using your favorite design software. Photoshop is a good option and is widely accepted by many printers. Leave a bleed area of at least 1/8-inch around the perimeter of the label. The printing company can provide you with specific bleed and file requirements.

Contact several printers both local and online. Request a quote by specifying the label size, quantity, and number of colors. Some online printers are relatively inexpensive because they operate through the Internet; however, since the cost of shipping labels can be expensive, also ask local printers for a quote. Compare the quotes and choose the printing company, which will provide you with the best value of quality and price.

Tips & Warnings
If you are unsure how to use the design software, hire a graphic artist to help you. Ask the graphic artist for a copy of the label in useable format so that you can make minor adjustments if necessary.
