In the fast-paced world of food service, clear labeling makes a big difference. StickyPOS labels are an innovative solution that combine Point-of-Sale efficiency with peel-and-stick convenience. Whether you're managing back-of-house inventory or prepping takeout, these labels simplify operations while supporting safety, compliance, and branding.
Here’s how StickyPOS labels work—and why they’re quickly becoming a must-have for Canadian food businesses.
What Are StickyPOS Labels?
StickyPOS labels are thermal labels that can be printed directly from your POS system and applied to food containers, bags, boxes, or shelves. They stick securely to most surfaces, leave no sticky residue, and are easy to handle even during busy shifts. Each label can include product names, modifiers, dates, and custom messages.
Perfect for:
- Takeout & delivery orders
- Grab-and-go packaging
- Shelf rotation
- Prep and use-by labeling
