Cheese Labels

Our fridge-friendly labels are designed to perform reliably on a wide range of packaging materials, including paper wraps, card sleeves, film packaging, and traditional wax-coated cheeses. Combined with a huge selection of stock cutter shapes and the ability to produce bespoke label sizes where required, we can provide solutions that complement both your products and your packaging.

With decades of label printing experience and a commitment to quality, Acorn Clearprint helps cheesemakers create labels that combine attractive presentation, practical performance, and dependable reliability.

Every cheese producer has different production methods, packaging processes, and product ranges, meaning the ideal labelling solution will vary from one business to another. Some manufacturers require labels that are supplied completely finished and ready to apply, while others benefit from the flexibility of adding changing information in-house as products are packed.

At Acorn Clearprint, we produce fully printed, part printed, and blank cheese labels, allowing each customer to choose the solution that best suits their production process. Whether you’re producing small batches of artisan cheeses or large-scale commercial volumes, our labels are designed to combine professional presentation with practical day-to-day usability.

Many customers begin with flexible overprinting solutions before gradually introducing fully printed labels as their product range expands. Others choose a combination of different label types to balance branding, efficiency, and production costs. Our experienced team works closely with every customer to recommend the most suitable solution for both current production and future growth.

Cheese is available in a wide variety of packaging styles, each requiring labels that perform reliably while complementing the appearance of the finished product. At Acorn Clearprint, our fridge-friendly labels are suitable for numerous packaging materials and can be produced in an extensive range of shapes and sizes to suit individual requirements. Whether your products are wrapped traditionally or packaged for retail distribution, we can supply labels designed specifically for your packaging format.

Every cheese producer packages their products differently, meaning there is rarely a single label shape or size that suits every application. From small artisan truckles and wax-coated rounds to wedges, blocks, retail packs, and gift boxes, labels need to complement both the product and its packaging while remaining practical to apply during production.

At Acorn Clearprint, we offer an extensive range of existing cutter shapes and sizes developed through many years of supplying labels to the cheese industry. In many cases, one of our stock cutters will already be suitable for your packaging, providing a cost-effective solution without the expense of producing bespoke tooling.

Where something more unique is required, we can also manufacture completely bespoke label shapes and sizes tailored specifically to your products. Whether you require circular labels for traditional cheese rounds, oval labels for artisan branding, labels designed to fit tapered packaging, or completely custom die-cut shapes, we can create labels that fit perfectly while enhancing shelf appeal.

Selecting the right label size not only improves the overall presentation of your products but also ensures important information remains clear and easy to read without overwhelming the packaging. Combined with our wide choice of materials, adhesives, and print finishes, Acorn Clearprint delivers bespoke cheese labels that balance practicality, durability, and premium presentation for businesses of every size.

Food labels play an important role in helping customers understand exactly what they are purchasing while ensuring cheese producers meet industry regulations and retailer requirements. Beyond simply displaying a product name, cheese labels often include essential information that supports traceability, food safety, and efficient stock management throughout the supply chain.

Depending on the product, labels may display the cheese variety, milk type, ingredients, allergen declarations, nutritional information, weights, best-before dates, batch numbers, country of origin, pricing, and barcodes. Much of this information can vary between production batches, making flexible labelling solutions particularly valuable for cheesemakers producing multiple varieties or seasonal products.

Many businesses choose labels that allow variable information to be printed in-house as products are packed. This reduces waste, provides greater flexibility when introducing new products or recipe changes, and removes the need to order separate printed labels for every variation. It also enables producers to react quickly to changing retailer requirements while maintaining consistent branding across their product range.

Clear, high-quality print is equally important. Information such as ingredients, allergens, batch numbers, and barcodes must remain legible throughout refrigerated storage, transportation, and retail display. Acorn Clearprint produces durable, fridge-friendly labels that continue to perform in demanding food environments, helping cheese producers present their products professionally while maintaining compliance and customer confidence.

Professionally printed cheese labels are used throughout the dairy and food industry by businesses of every size, from small artisan producers to large-scale manufacturers supplying retailers nationwide. Every business has different packaging, branding, and production requirements, which is why Acorn Clearprint provides flexible labelling solutions tailored to individual products and workflows.

Acorn Clearprint has been producing high-quality labels for businesses across the UK for decades, combining technical expertise with a genuine understanding of the industries we serve. Originally established in the mid-1980s as Acorn Maltone, the company has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of its customers. Following the merger with Preston-based Clearprint Labels in 2012, additional printing capacity and production flexibility enabled the business to expand while retaining the experience and customer-focused approach that has always been at its core.

Today, our team has more than 30 years of experience producing labels for businesses across the food manufacturing, dairy, pharmaceutical, industrial, and retail sectors. Whether supplying a small artisan cheesemaker or a large-scale manufacturer, every project receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Our dedication to continuous improvement is reflected in our quality management systems. Having maintained the BRC Global Standard for Packaging for more than 15 years, we transitioned to ISO 9001 certification in 2022, ensuring every stage of production is carefully managed from artwork preparation through to final delivery.

Customers also benefit from knowledgeable, personal support throughout every project. Our studio manager, who has been with the company since 1993, brings decades of technical expertise, helping businesses select the most suitable materials, finishes, adhesives, and label formats for their products. Combined with modern printing technology and flexible production capabilities, Acorn Clearprint delivers professionally printed cheese labels designed around the individual requirements of every customer.
