Built around the problem
When stock is not ready to ship,
every day matters.
A missing label, changed barcode, new market requirement or unfinished presentation should not hold an entire batch hostage. Stockholm gives you an external production route to get the work defined, completed and moving again.

How it works
A controlled route
from brief to dispatch.
You should always know what happens next. We keep the early conversation practical, make the production standard clear and confirm the route before volume work begins.
- 01
Share the requirement
Tell us the pack format, quantity, label or rework need, finish, timing and where the goods are now.
- 02
Confirm the route
We review the materials, handling method, production stages, checks and logistics needed for the project.
- 03
Agree the reference
Where appropriate, an agreed sample or clear visual reference gives production a defined standard to work to.
- 04
Produce, check, release
The run is completed to the agreed brief, checked through production and prepared for collection or onward delivery.
03 Quality is a production step,
not a final slogan.
not a final slogan.
Quality approach
Define it.
Reference it.
Check it.
A good finish starts with an unambiguous brief. Stockholm focuses on the details that customers actually see—and on the checks that keep a run aligned with the agreed result.
- 01Pack and material review
Container, surface, label stock, adhesive, shape and handling all affect the production route.
- 02Placement reference
Position, orientation, skew, seam and visible finish are agreed in a useful form.
- 03In-run checks
Checks are applied during the work so deviations can be identified before the run is complete.
- 04Release to brief
Finished goods are prepared around the agreed packing and onward-handling requirement.
Pack formats & sectors

Rework & recovery
Protect the value
already in your stock.
If a packaging issue can be corrected safely and cleanly, rework may be faster and less wasteful than starting again. We help turn the problem into a defined set of production steps.
- Changed barcodes or market information
- Missing promotional or compliance labels
- Presentation faults requiring inspection
- Stock requiring repacking or reconfiguration
Useful answers
Before you
send the brief.
Not sure whether the job is suitable? A few clear details are enough to start the conversation.
01What information do you need to quote?+
Send the pack type and dimensions, label size and material, quantity, application position, current condition of the goods, required finish and timing. Photos, artwork and representative samples help us assess the work accurately.
02Can you help with urgent relabelling or stock corrections?+
Yes—start by telling us what has changed, how much stock is affected and the date it needs to be ready. We will confirm whether the format, materials and timing are workable before proposing a route.
03Do you handle both small and repeat runs?+
Stockholm supports project-led work. Suitability depends on pack format, method, materials, quantity and timing, so we assess each run on its own requirements rather than forcing it into a standard package.
04Can labels and packing be combined?+
Yes. A project can be planned around label application, pack make-up, inspection, case packing and dispatch preparation where those stages are appropriate to the brief.
05How do you agree the finished standard?+
We clarify the brief, materials, label position and presentation requirement first. Where useful, a representative trial or approved reference is agreed before the main run, followed by checks during production.
06What should I avoid sending through the form?+
Do not send passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive personal information. Use the first enquiry to outline the job; we can then confirm a suitable route for artwork, specifications and samples.

Approve the label on the finished pack
A useful contract labelling brief shows the finished pack from the front, back and side, with a reference for label height, orientation and acceptable skew. Include the exact artwork revision and identify which existing information must remain visible. For overlabelling, show the area to cover and ask for a sample using the real container and label stock before approving the run.
Barcode position deserves its own check. A seam, tight curve or fold can interrupt the symbol, and its clear surrounding space needs to remain free of print and packaging features. Agree whether the job needs a scan check, formal barcode verification, or both. A successful scan alone does not provide a barcode quality grade.
Supply the label dimensions, adhesive specification and roll details, then separate quantities by artwork and pack variant. Tell Stockholm how the product is stored and handled, including chilled conditions or surface moisture where relevant. Finish the brief with an approved sample, the checks to record during production and instructions for segregating packs that need review. These details make quotations and release decisions easier to compare.
Can a replacement label cover an existing barcode?
Specify which barcode the finished pack must present and which must be obscured. Check the applied replacement on the actual pack so unwanted codes, edges or show-through do not undermine the agreed result.
Is a barcode scan the same as verification?
No. A scan tests whether a particular reader decodes the symbol. Verification measures barcode quality against defined criteria and provides a grade; state the required checking method in the brief.
Control artwork revisions through a relabelling run
For relabelling, give every supplied artwork revision a clear reference and identify the stock it applies to. List the product code, pack variant and quantity together so the instruction does not rely on a filename such as “final label”. Separate an approved replacement from an example still awaiting a decision.
Show what must remain visible on the finished pack and what must be covered. Include front, back and side photographs, the new label position and a representative finished sample. Where more than one old pack version is present, identify each incoming version and the approved treatment rather than assuming one instruction fits the entire delivery.
Plan the change between variants as a distinct control point. Ask how remaining labels, work in progress and finished packs will be identified before the next artwork is introduced. Agree who approves the first finished example after a change and how a doubtful pack is segregated for review.
At completion, reconcile the supplied labels and stock with accepted units, rejected or held units, samples and unused materials. The categories and counting method should be agreed in the brief. A balanced count does not replace placement or code checks, but it helps reveal unexplained stock and makes the release decision easier to review.
- Before production: Approved artwork reference, quantity by SKU, incoming stock versions and the finished-pack sample.
- At each change: Clear variant identification, removal of obsolete labels and the required first-off approval.
- At release: Agreed checks, stock reconciliation and instructions for unused labels and held packs.
Overlabelling Services: Artwork and Placement Approval
Overlabelling applies an approved replacement or additional label to existing stock. The brief should identify which original information is covered, what remains visible and how the new label is positioned and checked. Stockholm can assess the application and rework task. The product owner needs to approve the wording and intended use; label application alone does not establish regulatory or customer acceptance.
