Should I Make My Own Labels?

Should You Make Your Own Product Labels for Your Freeze-Dry Business?💡✨

When you're building your freeze-dry business, one of the first branding decisions you'll face is whether to make your own product labels or hire someone to do it. It might seem like a small detail, but your label is often the first thing customers notice—it tells your story, shows off your product, and helps build trust.

Pros of Making Your Own Labels:

  • Cost-Effective – Designing your own labels saves money, especially when you're just starting out.

  • Creative Control – You get full control over your brand's look, feel, and message.

  • Flexibility – Need to make a quick change or run a limited edition? DIY labels let you pivot fast.

Cons of Making Your Own Labels:
  • Time-Consuming – There’s a learning curve when it comes to layout, sizing, and printing.

  • Design Challenges – Without the right tools or know-how, your labels might not look as professional as you’d like.

  • Regulations & Info – It’s important your labels meet any legal requirements for food products, and that can be tricky without guidance.


If you're leaning toward the DIY route but want some help doing it right, good news—I’ve created a go-at-your-own-pace workshop that walks you through the process of making professional-looking labels step by step. And to make it even easier, it comes with a free companion workbook to guide you through the design process.
