Have you ever examined your shampoo, sanitizers, bottles or the things you intend to buy? What about those bottles of sauce on the shelves, or that jar of peanut butter you plan to use for breakfast? Regardless, they all share the same feature, which is none other than having labels on them! 

Label designs are more influential than you think. A well-designed label can attract customers better than a simple-looking label. That is why design trends are constantly evolving, as the best-looking label can in fact convince customers to choose your product among the others on the shelves! 

If you’re wondering of the latest design trends for labels, here in Hellosticker, we’ll take a closer look at 6 of the latest product label design trends to be aware of in 2021.

Colorful Themes

Bright and playful colors. This concept is seen everywhere in product labels. By mixing various colors together, your product can stick out better on the shelf. If words could not reach out to your customers, colors will do the talking.

Retro and Vintage

Retro and vintage labels are old but still gold. Companies, especially wine industries make their product label’s design as retro, authentic, or vintage-looking as possible. As to why is that, this design trend gives customers the immersive experience of buying a product that seems “lost in time”!

Simple & Bold Product Names

Bold is the name of the game. This trend combines simple and bold text with vibrant colors. Today, buyers or shoppers just do not have the time to look at product labels, so if your labels can spell it out faster to them, they’ll just add your product into their shopping basket!
