These additions are very simple to put in, very powerful to readers and quite professional looking for any kind of goals for label or sticker printing. It will be good for you to try out these great additions at least once for your color labels and stickers. You will see the difference and the overall improvement in their looks that will be quite beneficial for you.

• Text style shadows – Many designers “just print” the text in their color labels without really any other plan on enhancing their looks. However, one great additional design effect that you may be interested in adding to your own label and sticker designs are text style shadows. Shadow effects can be easily added to most text in desktop publishing or design applications. These shadow effects help make text look better and “come out” more from the designs. It is like lifting the text up to a degree so that you see it clearly even from afar. This is very easy to do for your color labels, so you should try it out.

• Text style textures – Textures are also a great additional design factor to integrate into your color stickers and labels. Textures within your text itself add another more exotic element to your label text. You can make your text look like it was made from something else by using special textures. For example, some people have used the brick, canvass and even the crumpled paper texture for great effect in some special color labels. With those textures, the stickers will look like they are part of the wall, painting or paper even if they are just stuck on to the materials. It is a quaint design feature for text that is worth trying for your designs.

• Background color gradients – Now, in terms of the background for your color labels, there is more to it than just filling with your theme color. By using a special color gradient effect available in most design software, you can use two or more colors at once as the background color of your color label designs. These gradients typically can switch to different colors seamlessly at different rates. This effect adds body and creativity to an otherwise boring and simple color background for the labels, making it an ideal additional design effect that is interesting to try out.

• Background textures – Of course, aside from color, your labels will also benefit from the use of background textures. Just like with textures for your text, background textures can also make the color label or color stickers to look like they were made of something else. This adds an additional personality or theme element to most color stickers, helping them to get more impact. That is why it is worth using and testing this design element out as well.

• Creative borders – Finally, you also have the option of adding creative borders to your label styles. Borders are a great way to add emphasis to your color labels and stickers while at the same time getting an opportunity to establish more of the sticker’s design theme. So if you need that extra attention and preciseness with your color sticker theme or idea, then add creative borders when you can.

So why don’t you try out these great additions for label printing? They might just improve your stickers and labels for you.
