Label Planet

What Label Planet does

Label Planet Ltd is a UK-based online distributor and retailer of blank self-adhesive labels on A4 sheets, incorporated in 2003 by David Worgan and headquartered in Nantwich, Cheshire. The company does not manufacture labels; it sources from third-party manufacturers and resells through a self-serve e-commerce website (labelplanet.co.uk) with no account creation required. Its catalogue covers 93 sizes and 30+ materials — including white paper, coloured, fluorescent, gloss, clear, metallic, kraft, waterproof, freezer, security, removable, and high-tack variants — sold in quantities from 25 to 25,000 sheets with same-day despatch via Royal Mail and DPD.

The business model is straightforward transactional e-commerce: customers browse, select, and pay online (card, PayPal, or proforma), with prices inclusive of UK VAT and mainland delivery. The company supplements this with a free sample service, downloadable label templates, a comprehensive how-to/video library, and phone/email support (9am-4pm, Mon-Fri). A B2B procurement channel for UK schools accepts official purchase orders with 30-day payment terms. A related sub-brand, Stikins, sells printed name labels for school clothing via a separate domain (stikins.co.uk). Distribution is UK-only — international delivery is not offered.

Customer segments are diversified and long-tail: UK schools, SMBs, e-commerce sellers (Amazon, eBay, Play.com), crafters/hobbyists, and product manufacturers in food & beverage, beauty, and logistics. The company is privately held, founder-owned, has 1-10 employees, has raised no external funding, and holds no disclosed patents. Its marketing is content-led and SEO-driven, supported by trade association memberships (Bira, BPIF, FSB, SCCCI, FINAT, GLEIF) and 20+ years of accumulated domain authority.

Direct peers

• Sheetlabels.com: Sheetlabels.com sells blank self-adhesive labels on sheet formats (including US Letter / A4-equivalent) via e-commerce, with analogous customer segments (SMBs, crafters, e-commerce sellers) and similar product breadth.
• OnlineLabels.com: OnlineLabels is a US-headquartered online retailer of blank and custom labels, including sheet labels compatible with laser and inkjet printers. It is comparable in online-specialist model and SKU breadth, though at larger scale.
• A4Labels: A4Labels is a UK-based online supplier of blank self-adhesive labels on A4 sheets for laser and inkjet printing — a near-identical product offering, business model, and target customer to Label Planet.
• Worldlabel: Worldlabel is an online specialist in printable label sheets (including A4-compatible formats), targeting SMBs and consumers with broad SKU coverage — directly comparable in product mix and e-commerce-led GTM.

Broad incumbents

• Zebra Technologies: Zebra Technologies is a global enterprise labelling and identification solutions provider and a former employer of Label Planet's founder. It is comparable as an incumbent in the broader labelling industry, though primarily serving enterprise rather than SMB/desktop print customers.
• Avery (Avery Products Corporation / Avery UK): Avery is the dominant consumer and SMB brand for blank self-adhesive labels and printable label sheets. It competes with Label Planet in the same A4 label category via retail and online channels, but at materially larger scale and brand recognition.
• Brady Corporation: Brady is a global manufacturer of labels and printing systems for industrial identification and compliance. It is comparable in the labelling-and-identification category, though focused on industrial / safety rather than office-grade A4 sheets.
• 3M (Label and Packaging Tapes / Converted Products): 3M manufactures a wide range of pressure-sensitive labels and label materials across industrial and consumer channels. It is a comparable incumbent in the pressure-sensitive adhesive and labelling supply chain.
• Herma: Herma is a European manufacturer of self-adhesive label materials, labelstock, and labelling solutions. It is a relevant upstream peer given Label Planet's FINAT membership and the European labelling supply chain David Worgan operates in.

Emerging players

• Sticker Mule: Sticker Mule is a digitally-native custom and blank label / sticker supplier built around an online self-serve model. It overlaps with Label Planet on SMB and e-commerce seller use cases but differentiates with custom printing rather than blank A4 sheets.
