Waterproof Cigar Labels

To maintain freshness, premium cigars are stored at 65% to 72% relative humidity. In this environment, standard labels may wrinkle, bubble, or bleed ink. We offer moisture-resistant labels engineered to withstand the dampness of humidors. Finish options include textured paper stocks sealed with protective UV varnishes and ultra-durable clear films designed for aluminum or glass cigar tubes. Our labels resist moisture and prevent scuffing without losing their permanent adhesion.

Label Printing Testimonials From Our Clients

The embellishments that MediaHEAD achieved on our labels were amazing. Easy to work with and great follow up and understanding of what we needed for our project! Thanks Kat, you and your team crushed it!

MediaHead has always been a great print/distribution partner. I know I can always count on them for great quality and speed. Bill and Kat have always been so great to work with and that’s why I have continued to work with MediaHead for the last 4 years.

So thankful you for two and your team. You all are truly a joy to work with! You make my job worth showing up for each day. Thanks for all your hard work this year. We wouldn’t have had all our success without your partnership.

Our MEDiAHEAD portal is great and easy to use. We have 3,500 people who use the portal, and any of them can log in to use it. We know the difference between good and bad! You have been a strong partner with us for 25 years now. At one time, we were working with about 200 different vendors. We sent out RFPs and began working with another web portal supplier — it flopped! We turned to MEDiAHEAD — you have the quality and the logistics we need, and meet all of our standards. That was what our previous vendor was lacking. We wouldn’t change a thing! We love that MEDiAHEAD is big but not too big, and we get personalized service every time we call. Your print quality is great and is one of the main reasons we partnered with you. Your customer service is very solution oriented, and you always want to help.

MediaHead literally saved us with their customizable web platform and printing capabilities. We had an unsuccessful experience with another company and I wasn’t sure who could help create a site that actually worked the way we needed it to. After meeting with MediaHead, I instantly felt like not only were they an extension of our team, but also people I’ve known for years. They are a solutions oriented team who use their expertise to develop the right system or site for you. The turn around and pricing were great and the end product had our client (and us) very happy. Now I am confident in presenting this solution to our clients in the future, since I know I have a partner who can execute and deliver.

Kat and team are willing to do whatever it takes to meet our needs. We had two very fast turn print needs and MediaHEAD delivered – even after a few roadblock popped up endangering our important deadline. Can’t thank you enough!
