Food & Beverage Labels
For bottles, jars, cartons and chilled packs
Labels for food, beverage and bottled-water products
QTEK Labels manufactures self-adhesive food and beverage labels in Chennai. We work with paper, clear BOPP and synthetic stocks for bottles, jars, cartons and chilled packs.
Food and beverage labels have to survive the pack, not just the print run. Condensation, cold storage, curved containers and handling all affect the stock, adhesive and finish. We confirm those details before quoting.

What food and beverage labels need
Six details decide whether the label survives the pack and the environment.
Container shape
Bottles, jars, tubs and cartons apply differently. Tell us the container, the label area and whether the surface is flat, curved or tapered.
Moisture and condensation
Chilled bottles sweat. The stock, adhesive and laminate have to hold through condensation and handling without lifting or curling.
Cold storage and heat
Cold-chain, freezer and high-heat applications need a material rated for that range. Tell us the temperature and the time the label spends there.
Food-contact requirements
If the label or adhesive has a food-contact requirement, tell us. We confirm the supplier datasheet for the specific stock and application.
Brand and product information
Give us the artwork, the mandatory text, the barcode and the finish you want. We confirm the layout and the print method before production.
Variable data
Batch, best-before, serial or barcode data can be printed with the right printer, software and ribbon. Send the data format and sequence.
Materials for wet, cold and curved packs
A starting point for the conversation. We confirm the exact combination against your product and process.
| Requirement | Typical starting point | What we confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Bottles, jars and cartons | Paper or clear BOPP | Container surface, label area, adhesive and finish |
| Condensation, ice or repeated handling | Synthetic or BOPP stock with a suitable adhesive | Laminate, adhesive, expected life and application method |
| Cold storage or high heat | A material rated for the process | Temperature, dwell time and the supplier's rating for that stock |
| Indirect food contact | Stocks and adhesives that meet FDA 175.105 where required | The supplier datasheet and the specific application |
| Market compliance | REACH- and RoHS-compliant stocks and adhesives | The material declaration for the selected stock |
Common questions
Do you make labels for water bottles and beverages?
Yes. Custom water-bottle and beverage labels are part of our custom label range. Share the container, size, material and quantity so we can confirm the specification.
Can the labels handle condensation and cold storage?
Material options are available for wet, cold and high-heat applications. The exact stock, adhesive and laminate are selected for your container and process, and confirmed at quotation.
Do you offer materials that meet FDA 175.105?
Material options include stocks and adhesives that meet FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact, where the application requires it. Compliance belongs to the supplied material and is confirmed for the specific stock; QTEK's quality system is ISO 9001:2015 certified (IAS/IND/9620).
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
MOQ is typically 10,000–15,000 labels depending on label size. Repeat orders typically take 5 days; first orders 7–10 days depending on artwork and plate or die making. We confirm both at quotation.
