      SixB Labels Earns 2026 GraphEx Award Recognition from the PIA

      There's a particular kind of pride that comes from seeing a client's product hold its own under the bright lights of an awards stage. This year, SixB Labels is beyond grateful for another round of Graphic Excellence (GraphEx) Awards recognition through our longstanding partnership with the Printing Industries of America (PIA). We're sharing a few of our favorite winning projects below — written, we hope, with as much humility as enthusiasm — not to take a bow, but to spark ideas for your own custom label printing projects. Our Vice President, Fari Bakhshian (pictured at left), represented the team at this year's ceremony, fittingly themed "Printers in Wonderland."

      Candle Labels: A Deep Dive into Design, Materials, and Performance

      Where Branding, Aesthetics and Function Come Together

      Candles are not just simple products; they create atmosphere, evoke emotion and tell a story. Whether placed in a home, hotel, spa, or retail setting, candles are often chosen as much for their appearance as their scent. At the center of that experience is the label.

      At SixB Labels, we’ve helped brands bring their candle products to life with custom labeling solutions that balance visual appeal, durability, and performance. From boutique candle makers to large-scale retailers, the right label can elevate your product from simple to unforgettable.

      6 Points for Superlative Cold Foil Stamped Labels

      Cold foiling, also known as cold foil stamping, finds its place as an indoor, decorative accent.  Unlike the choice of metallic labels that might be suitable as asset tags, for example, or be used outdoors, cold foiling is designed to enhance marketing efforts via its visual effects.  A sparkling and colorful approach to labeling can increase visual impact and thus consumer interest. Thus cold foiling lends itself to packaging, products, correspondence, marketing materials, and publications.  

      The following are six points to consider if your goal is to create superlative cold foil labels.
