Top 6 Labels Designs from Around the World – March 2025 Edition

This March, we’ve scouted six stunning custom label designs from across the globe, each with unique ways of standing out. Whether bold, minimalist, or rooted in cultural heritage, these designs offer lessons for product owners and graphic designers alike. Here's what caught our eye:

1. A Splash of Colour

Colourful labels have the power to attract attention instantly, and this month’s pick dazzles with its vibrant palette. Think kaleidoscopic patterns layered with playful typography. The design invites exploration and feels alive, ensuring this brand is impossible to miss on a crowded shelf. 

Takeaway: Don’t shy away from bold colours. The right combination can create a memorable brand moment and connect with your audience emotionally.

These strikingly colourful labels would look exceptional when paired with our Polypropylene range. Visit our Polypropylene range. This happens to be water resistant labels, perfect for any range.

2. The Minimalist Masterpiece

Sometimes, less is more. This elegant label uses only black text on a white background, accented with a single red line underneath one word. The simplicity draws attention to the essential elements of the design while giving it a modern, sophisticated feel.

Takeaway: Minimalism isn’t boring - it can be powerful and timeless. Smart use of a single striking element, like a red line, can make all the difference.

3. Shimmer with Metallic Labels

This label uses metallic tones to elevate its visual appeal. The light reflections from metallic elements ensure it stands out, especially in environments with good lighting, like retail displays.

Takeaway: Metallic elements are perfect for adding premium appeal. Subtly incorporating them can give your product a high-end visual edge.

4. Complex Illustrations with a Story

Compass Box whisky broke the mould with its intricate and imaginative labels. Instead of relying on traditional typography and simple foiling, their designs feature layered, detailed illustrations that tell a unique story, deeply engaging the consumer.

Takeaway: Detailed illustrations help create a narrative around your brand. This approach is perfect if storytelling is a key part of your identity.

5. Celebrating Heritage

These custom labels for an African coffee brand celebrates cultural roots with striking patterns inspired by African art and heritage. It’s not just eye-catching - it also tells a meaningful story that connects the product to its origins.

Takeaway: Highlighting heritage can be a strong differentiator. When done right, it resonates deeply with your audience, adding authenticity and depth to your brand.

6. Bold Simplicity

Sometimes, all you need is clarity. This design strips down to a single colour with simple, bold text that tells customers exactly what the product is. No frills, no distractions - just straightforward communication.

Takeaway: Consumers appreciate clarity. If your product is no-nonsense and direct, reflect that through your label design for maximum impact. Keep it honest and clear.
