Question 1

Do you print labels?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Customers currently provide labels. Label printing may be added as a service in the future.

Question 2

Do you provide bottles or packaging?

Accepted Answer

Customers currently provide bottles, labels, cartons, and components unless otherwise approved in writing.

Question 3

Can I ship products directly from my supplier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shipments must include your company name and project reference number so we can identify and route the inbound to your project.

Question 4

Do you book freight?

Accepted Answer

No. Customers provide return shipping labels, carrier account information, pickup instructions, Amazon FBA labels, or retailer routing guides for outbound releases.

Question 5

Is the online estimate the final invoice?

Accepted Answer

No. Estimates produced by the quote wizard are based on the information you enter. Final billing is completed after production using actual quantities received, processed, stored, packed, and released.

Question 6

When is final payment due?

Accepted Answer

Orders must be paid in full before release. Completed goods, unused components, or remaining materials may be held until payment is received.

Question 7

Can you handle small orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minimum project and production charges apply to keep small runs economical for both sides.

Question 8

Can you label filled containers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — as long as containers are sealed, clean, dry, and suitable for handling and labeling.

Question 9

Can you handle odd-shaped containers?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Non-standard containers may require sample review, hand application, or custom pricing. Send a sample for evaluation before scheduling production.

Question 10

Can you ship to Amazon FBA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when the customer provides the required FNSKU labels, shipment plan, routing instructions, and any category-specific prep requirements.

Question 11

What container types can you label?

Accepted Answer

Bottles (round, oval, square), jars, tubes, cans, pouches, boxes, and most rigid containers. For odd or non-standard shapes, send a sample for evaluation before production.

Question 12

What's the minimum order for label application?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard minimum, but a project minimum charge applies on runs under roughly 100 units to keep small jobs economical for both sides.

Question 13

What label sizes and shapes can you apply?

Accepted Answer

Rectangles, squares, ovals, circles, die-cut, wrap-around, and front/back combinations. Full roll specs (unwind direction, core size, OD, gap) are on the Label Requirements page.

Question 14

Can you apply front and back labels in one pass?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Front, back, and wrap configurations are standard, and alignment between front and back labels is QC'd on every run.

Question 15

How accurate is label placement?

Accepted Answer

Typical placement tolerance is ±1/32" on standard cylindrical containers. Tighter tolerances are available on request and may require a pre-production sample run.

Question 16

Do you label filled and sealed products?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as containers are sealed, clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of residue or condensation.

Question 17

Can you apply clear (no-label-look) labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clear BOPP and similar films are supported. We recommend a pre-production sample run to confirm placement and bubble-free application on your specific container.

Question 18

Can you handle temperature-sensitive products like refrigerated or frozen goods?

Accepted Answer

Containers must be at room temperature and free of condensation at the time of labeling for the adhesive to bond correctly. Cold-chain storage is not offered on-site.

Question 19

What's your typical turnaround for a label project?

Accepted Answer

Most label projects ship 5–10 business days after all product, labels, and packaging materials arrive at our facility. Rush scheduling is available on a case-by-case basis.

Question 20

Do you supply the labels or do I?

Accepted Answer

Customers supply printed labels on rolls. Required roll specs — unwind direction #4, 3" core, 12" max OD, and consistent gap — are on the Label Requirements page.

Question 21

Can you apply tamper-evident bands along with labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shrink neck bands and full-body shrink sleeves can be combined with pressure-sensitive label application in the same project.

Question 22

Do you do short-run or sample labeling for crowdfunding and pre-launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Short runs for Kickstarter and Indiegogo fulfillment, influencer seeding, trade-show samples, and pre-launch testing are common projects for us.

Question 23

Do you apply Amazon FNSKU labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when provided by the customer on rolls or sheets. We verify FNSKU label alignment with product during application and do not generate FNSKU barcodes from Seller Central.

Question 24

Can you poly bag and add suffocation warning labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Poly bagging, suffocation warnings, and bag sealing are standard FBA prep services we offer alongside labeling.

Question 25

Do you handle Amazon transparency codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transparency stickers can be applied during the label run. Customers must supply codes on rolls or sheets; we do not generate them.

Question 26

Do you create shipment plans or case/pallet labels in Seller Central?

Accepted Answer

No. Customers must create their own shipment plans in Amazon Seller Central and provide all case labels, pallet labels, and routing instructions.

Question 27

What FBA prep documentation do you require from me?

Accepted Answer

Shipment plan PDF, FNSKU labels, any category-specific prep instructions, and outbound shipping labels or carrier account details for release.

Question 28

What's the difference between PVC and PET shrink sleeves?

Accepted Answer

PET is more environmentally friendly, higher clarity, and shrinks at lower temperatures. PVC is more cost-effective and offers slightly higher shrink percentages but may not meet retailer sustainability requirements.

Question 29

Can you apply neck bands vs full-body shrink sleeves?

Accepted Answer

Both. Neck bands (tamper-evident), partial-body, and full-body shrink sleeves are supported. Coverage area and sleeve dimensions must be provided for sizing.

Question 30

Do you offer perforated tear strips for easy opening?

Accepted Answer

We do not supply shrink sleeves. If a perforation is needed, the sleeve must be sent to ALG with the perforation already cut into it by your supplier.

Question 31

What container shapes work best for shrink sleeve application?

Accepted Answer

Cylindrical, straight-walled, and moderately tapered containers work best. Highly contoured or deeply recessed shapes may cause wrinkling; send a sample for evaluation.
