Seal a Product With a Label That Shines
This is not gold ink faking a shine. A real metallic foil accent is pressed onto the front of the label, so your logo, border, or monogram reflects light like polished metal, and a High Gloss UV coating over a smooth Semi-Gloss Label stock keeps both the color and the foil crisp and bright. Sealing a bottle in a boutique, a candle jar on a shelf, or a box on a gift table, a metallic label puts your name on something that already looks worth more. Metallic labels start at $108.75 for 500 labels, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 13 reviews.
These labels punch above their price. The foil does half the branding for you, the semi-gloss stock gives it a clean, premium hand, and the High Gloss UV coat keeps it looking sharp on the shelf.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $108.75, and the per-label cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full run for a product line costs far less per label than a quick test batch.

What are metallic labels?
A metallic label is an adhesive label finished with a real metallic foil accent, where a thin layer of metal foil is pressed onto the front so part of the design shines like polished metal rather than printed ink. At 4OVER4 metallic labels print full color on Semi-Gloss Label stock in 20 sizes from 1.5" x 3.5" to 6" x 9", with a metallic foil accent on the front, a High Gloss UV coating, and a blank back.
Gold or silver ink only imitates metal. A metallic foil accent is the real thing: a genuine layer of metal foil pressed onto the front of the label, so your logo, border, or monogram reflects light the way ink never can. The base is a Semi-Gloss Label stock, smooth and slightly reflective, which is what makes the foil sit crisp and bright against it. Your artwork prints full color underneath on the front, the back stays blank, and a High Gloss UV coating seals the top so the color and the foil both pop.
Seal it on a bottle, a jar, a box, or a gift, and the shine does the premium talking before anyone reads the copy. If you want foil across a wider surface instead of a printed accent, the Foil Labels carry the metallic look further, and the metallic label sits beside them as the full-color one with a foil highlight.
What sizes do metallic labels come in?
4OVER4 metallic labels come in 20 sizes, from a 1.5" x 3.5" label up to a 6" x 9", with 1.75" x 3.5", 2" x 2", and 2" x 3" among the presets. The default is 1.5" x 3.5", and you can also set a custom size up to 6" x 9". The price follows the size you pick.
Size comes down to what the label has to wrap and how much it has to say. The default 1.5" x 3.5" is a slim strip that reads cleanly down the front of a bottle, a pen, or a slim box. A 2" x 2" square feels like a seal on a jar lid or a cap, while 1.75" x 3.5" and 2" x 3" give a foil logo room to sit above a line of product detail. When the label doubles as full packaging art, step up toward the 6" x 9". If none of the 20 presets fits your container, set a custom size up to 6" x 9", and the price updates as you change it. Every size and finish is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Wally lets the foil do the selling
Why a $108.75 run of foil-accented labels gets noticed on the shelf.
Five hundred metallic labels start at $108.75, printed full color on semi-gloss stock with a real metallic foil accent pressed onto the front and a High Gloss UV coating over the top. Pick a size from 1.5 by 3.5 inch up to 6 by 9 inch, seal a bottle, jar, or box, and Wally gets them printed. The per-label price keeps dropping as the run grows toward 5,000.
Press-Ready Blank Templates
What stock and finish do metallic labels use?
4OVER4 metallic labels print on a single Semi-Gloss Label stock, full color on the front with a blank back, finished with a High Gloss UV coating. The metallic foil accent presses onto the front over the printed art, so a logo, border, or detail shines against the semi-gloss surface.
The stock is a Semi-Gloss Label: a smooth, slightly reflective adhesive paper that takes full-color printing cleanly and holds a foil accent crisp. Your art prints in full color on the front, the back stays blank for the adhesive, and a High Gloss UV coating goes over the top as a clear, glossy layer that deepens the color, protects the surface from scuffs, and makes the metallic foil accent read even brighter. The foil itself lands on the front, exactly where your design places it, so a monogram, a border, or a single word carries the shine.
For a plain full-color label without the metallic highlight, the Custom Labels cover the everyday version, and the metallic label is the one that upgrades the shelf presence.
Can you see a proof before metallic labels print?
Yes. Before a run prints, you can send your file straight to production or pull a free online proof to check the layout, color, and foil placement first. 4OVER4 accepts print-ready PDF, JPG, and PNG files for metallic labels.
Because a foil accent is exact work, you decide how the file reaches press. Send it straight to production when your artwork is final and you want the fastest path, or pull a free online proof to confirm the trim, the color, and exactly where the metallic foil accent lands before anything runs. It is the simplest way to make sure the shine falls where you meant it to. Files upload as print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG, and if you would rather start from a clean, correctly sized file, you can download a press-ready blank template built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in.
How much do metallic labels cost?
Metallic labels start at $108.75 for 500, about 22 cents a label, and the per-label price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so the cost per label really comes down to how big a run you order. Order more and the math gets friendlier fast: 1,000 labels run $141.70, 2,500 run $251.54, and a 5,000 run lands at $416.28, roughly 8 cents a label. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-label cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How do metallic labels compare to the rest of the range?
Metallic labels are the pick when you want a label that shines on sight, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing wider foil coverage, a plain full-color label, or a custom die-cut shape like the Die-Cut Labels, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up metallic labels against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How fast can you get metallic labels printed?
Metallic labels print on a standard 7 business day turnaround, since the metallic foil accent is an extra pass on press. That window covers the printing, the foil accent, the High Gloss UV coating, and the cut. 4OVER4 lands 99.8% of orders on time and ships 82% early, so the date you are quoted is a date you can build a boutique launch, a product line, or a gift run around. Candle and cosmetics brands use them on jars and bottles, food and drink makers seal boxes and pouches with them, and retailers reach for them as premium price and packaging labels. Every order can also carry a free online proof before it prints.
