Personalized birth label made from bagasse paperA sweet design to celebrate baby’s arrival

A gentle world for personalized pregnancy announcement labels

This design evokes the delicacy of those first days with a warm, poetic composition. The word “baby”, the little hearts, light-coloured flowers, teddy bear and knitted booties immediately create an affectionate atmosphere. The natural tones, combined with a gold border and elegant typography, give the overall design a refined look without losing its childlike character.

The template is suitable for families who wish to announce a birth, decorate a gift or keep a lovely memento of a new baby's arrival. It can also be used to decorate a gift or create a keepsake. If you prefer to show faces, you can choose a birth label with photos 80 x 100 mm, featuring three photo slots.

Announce a pregnancy with a personalized label

Before the birth, the label can be used to reveal the news itself. Applied to a bottle of wine given to the future grandparents, a jar of honey or a box of baby booties, it announces the pregnancy when the gift is opened. The word “baby” at the centre of the design is enough to convey the message, without needing to write anything more.

For this type of announcement, indicating the expected month or using a short phrase such as “expected in spring” complements the design nicely. The first name can be added later, on a second batch of labels. Bagasse or plant-based paper is preferable when the look matters as much as the content: its texture enhances the intimate nature of the reveal.

A generous format for comfortable reading

The design is available in an 80 x 120 mm format. Its vertical layout makes it easy to organize information by importance: first name, short message, last name or additional detail. The central area draws attention to the main text, while the illustration positioned lower down adds dimension. The size of the elements makes it easy to read, whether the label is attached to a package, slipped into a box or displayed on a baby shower table.

The dimensions can still be adjusted in the online editor. You can therefore adapt the height or width to your surface, container or decorative project. Custom cutting also allows you to adapt the shape of the template. Before finalizing, it is advisable to check the balance between the words, ornaments and empty spaces.

Information to include on a birth announcement label

A well-designed label does not try to say everything. On this design, the first name naturally takes centre stage, accompanied by a short message or the family name. Depending on the occasion, an additional detail can be added: the date of birth, the date of the celebration or the baby shower.

For a more detailed announcement, other designs in the catalogue provide more space. The photo design, for example, includes the baby's date of birth, time of birth, height and weight. On the bagasse format, each text area remains customizable: a large line for the first name, a secondary line for the message and a more discreet mention for the rest are enough to create a clear layout.

Before confirming, check the spelling of the first name and surnames, especially when the label is intended for loved ones. A mistake can easily go unnoticed on screen. It is much more noticeable on a gift kept for years.

The distinctive charm of bagasse paper

This personalized baby label is printed on biodegradable bagasse paper. This premium paper has a soft texture and a slightly fibrous appearance that enhance the design’s natural aesthetic. The material pairs well with the cream, beige, brown, and pastel tones of the composition. It adds a subtle tactile presence and a refined finish to your announcement.

The difference lies in the material you choose: several premium papers are also available. Matte offers a soft, velvety finish, glossy intensifies every colour, semi-gloss balances shine and subtlety, and plant-based paper enhances the authentic feel. Each option changes the perception of the image, typography and contrasts. The choice therefore depends on the gift, the planned decoration and the desired atmosphere.

Permanent or water-soluble adhesive: which adhesive should you choose?

This design is part of the self-adhesive labels in the catalogue: it can be ordered with either permanent or water-soluble adhesive, to be selected in the editor. The permanent adhesive provides long-lasting hold on a gift box, keepsake box or jar that is meant to be kept. The water-soluble adhesive can be removed with water, making it easier to peel off from a reusable container.

In practice, the choice depends on the life of the item after the celebration. A jar of sugared almonds intended to be washed and reused calls for a water-soluble adhesive. Conversely, a label applied to an album or keepsake box is best left in place: permanent adhesive is then the obvious choice.

Straight corners, rounded corners, and custom die-cutting

The rectangular design can be ordered with square or rounded corners. Square corners create a clean, card-like look. Rounded corners soften the shape and complement the world of the teddy bear and slippers.

Break free from the rectangle with custom die-cutting that follows the desired contour. For example, it can create a round sticker effect to seal a pouch or fit the shape of a lid. The detail that makes all the difference when printing: leave enough space between the text and the cut edge so that no letters are cut off.

Birth labels and stickers: ideas for announcing a pregnancy or celebrating a birth

With its vertical format, this custom label can become a distinctive detail on many types of media. It is particularly suitable for:

• identify a box containing personalized birth gifts;
• seal a bag of sweets or a pouch intended for guests;
• personalize gifts given at a baby shower;
• dress up packaging for clothing, slippers or baby accessories;
• add a personal touch to a floral arrangement or bedroom decoration.

Once the baby has arrived, the same design can be adapted into a birth label. For a bottle, the special birth vintage label template 75 x 100 mm, featuring a baby and storks, also suitable for a christening.

The first name can be highlighted in a handwritten style, while a more discreet message completes the overall design. To ensure easy readability, it is best to use a short message and leave space around the illustrations. The framed border adds a sense of refinement and visually structures the label.

Invitations, envelopes and thank-you notes: extending the announcement

The announcement doesn't end on the day of arrival. Birth stickers matching the main label create a common thread between the different mailings. Stick them on your announcement envelopes to seal the flap with a personal touch, or add them to the back of a card.

A few weeks after the birth often comes the time to say thank you. A small label on a bag of chocolates, a box of biscuits or a jar of jam makes it possible to thank family, friends or the nursery team who will welcome the baby. The same design, used across several copies, maintains visual consistency from the first mailing to the last gifts.

For envelopes, a smaller size can be set directly in the editor by adjusting the width and height, without changing the template. Once the template has been approved, the same design can be used for several formats.

Custom label printing tailored to every project

Professional label printing gives your adhesive label a consistent, precise finish. The design combines a prominent inscription, cursive text and fine motifs: careful composition preserves the contrast between the different levels of readability. Whether you are preparing a few stickers for gifts or a larger series, there is no minimum order quantity. Volume discounts also help you adjust your budget as the number of copies increases.

This design is printed in high-definition colour using Laser / LED digital technology. This process reproduces pastel shades, the fine border and the teddy bear's features with sharp clarity. The adhesive materials used by Votre Étiquette are manufactured in Europe.

This flexibility meets the needs of a family celebrating the birth of a baby as well as those of a gift box creator, a children's goods shop or an event organiser. The responsible approach can be integrated thoughtfully: suitable material, ordering as close as possible to actual needs and avoiding unnecessary printing. The pregnancy announcement and birth label catalogue brings together other designs.

Create your version without software

The online label editor makes customization accessible to everyone. No specialized software or graphic design skills are required: edit the text, adjust the elements, and try different layouts directly in your browser. Colors, typography, and layout can be changed in just a few clicks before ordering your personalized labels. In just a few steps, this delicate design becomes a personal creation, ready to accompany a precious memory.

Customize your label in five steps

The customisation process follows a simple sequence, with an instant preview for every change:

1. choose the dimensions, keeping 80 x 120 mm or adjusting the width and height to suit your medium;
2. Edit the first name and message in the designated text fields;
3. Complete the design if needed by adding an image or logo;
4. select the paper, adhesive and corner shape;
5. Check the preview, then select the desired quantity before confirming your order.

Prepare your own file: PDF format and bleed

The editor also allows you to upload your own artwork, if an announcement has already been designed with a graphic designer or layout software. For this 80 x 120 mm format, Votre Étiquette recommends an 82 x 122 mm PDF file. This format includes at least 1 mm of bleed.

Bleed is the part of the image that extends beyond the cut line. It prevents a white border from appearing if the cut varies very slightly. When designing, backgrounds and patterns should therefore extend all the way to the edge of the file, while keeping text well within the final format.

If in doubt, Votre Étiquette’s desktop publishing support service (layout assistance), provided by a team based in France, can check your file before printing.

Order, secure payment and delivery within 48 hours

Once the label has been approved, payment is made securely online using the 3D Secure protocol. Votre Étiquette then offers express delivery within 48 hours via Chronopost. This timeframe matters when the birth is approaching or a baby shower has already been planned.

For a party, it is still best to allow a little extra time and place your order a few days before the event, so you can review the preview at your leisure. Votre Étiquette customers give it a rating of 4.8/5 based on 420 Google reviews.
