Chicago Coding Systems — Contract Labeling ServicesContract Labeling FAQ
What is contract labeling?
Contract labeling is an outsourced service where CCS handles all or part of your product labeling — from label design and material selection to print production and physical application onto your products. It's ideal for companies that need professional labeling without owning or operating their own labeling equipment.
Can CCS match our existing label design exactly?
Yes. Provide your existing artwork, brand guidelines, and specifications, and CCS replicates them precisely. We also optimize designs for the target printing method and label material to ensure the best possible print quality and durability.
What's the minimum order for contract labeling?
There are no minimums. CCS handles everything from 10 pieces to 10,000+ — short prototype runs, promotional batches, and high-volume production orders. Contact us to discuss your specific quantities and timeline.
Do you apply labels at our facility or yours?
Both. CCS can apply labels at our St. Charles, Illinois facility and ship finished products to you, or we can bring equipment and operators to your site for on-location labeling. The best option depends on your product type, volume, and logistics.
What label materials can you print on?
CCS prints on paper, polypropylene, polyester, vinyl, polyethylene, and specialty materials for cold storage, moisture resistance, chemical exposure, and outdoor durability. We test every material against your product's environment before production.
