Contract Labelling
ALS operates a dedicated contract labelling bureau from our Oxfordshire facility — a fast, reliable trade service for the brands, retailers and manufacturers who need products labelled, re-boxed and returned on schedule. Our capabilities span promotional and correctional over-labelling, EAS source tagging in all major formats (AM, RF and EM), and multi-layered and embedded smart-label constructions including NFC and RFID, right through to full marketing-campaign support. No labels yet? We produce those too.
We label products for many of the UK's leading high-street brands and we know how demanding contract work can be — whether it's a last-minute barcode change or a nationwide marketing promotion. Your products are handled carefully, labelled accurately and delivered back to you on time.
We're set up to meet short lead times with a quick turnaround and our consistent service makes us an ideal partner for extended marketing activity too. Backed by our track record, building bespoke labelling machines for customers across every industry, you can trust ALS to get it right.
Send us your products and labels, and we'll label them, re-box them and ship them back. If you don't have labels, we'll make them too.

Multi-Layered
From the largest over-labelling campaigns to smaller runs for boutique products, we relish the challenge. With one of the widest, most complete ranges of standard labelling machines in the industry under one roof, we can deliver for projects of any size — from security labelling to eye-catching promotions and even scented labels. It all adds up to a complete contract labelling service, matched precisely to your packaging and promotional needs.
We have extensive experience handling and applying every type of EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) security label, including Acousto-Magnetic (AM) from Sensormatic™ and Radio-Frequency (RF) from suppliers such as All-Tag and Checkpoint. All our labellers are fitted with proven anti-static equipment, so RF labels aren't accidentally deactivated during application. We can apply tags to the inside or outside of pre-erected cartons or tickets, or embed them out of sight beneath another label — and we're happy to supply the security labels themselves as well, just ask. You'll find more on our EAS and RFID label options on the Labels page.
Food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging is often hit by legislative changes that would otherwise mean scrapping pre-printed labels or cartons. ALS can over-label using a block-out adhesive that stops any printed text or images underneath from showing through. It's high-tack and permanent — near-impossible to remove cleanly, and any attempt would destroy the packaging — making it both highly secure and cost-effective.
Turn your standard product labels into "smart" labels. We're expert at placing labels on top of other labels (peel-and-read) and embedding labels beneath them (RFID and NFC). Make your labels work harder, carrying more information without the need for extra packaging. An NFC-embedded label lets a shopper tap it with their phone to see marketing or product information instantly — a richer, more engaging customer experience.
