How It Started: a labels partner, not just another vendor
Teachers Balm came to Husky Labels the way many of our customers do: they needed labels, but more importantly, they needed a custom labels partner. Teacher’s Balm is a natural, fragrance-free balm made with a nourishing blend of tallow and kokum butter—creating a rich, conditioning serum that helps keep dog paws, noses, and skin soft and healthy.

Jessica, the founder of Teacher’s Balm (the customer), had been searching online for a label manufacturer when she found Husky Labels. What made the difference wasn’t search rank—it was responsiveness. While other companies routed her to AI bots and unanswered calls, Husky Labels picked up the phone. From the first conversation, it was clear we weren’t just there to take an order, we were there to provide expert guidance and real support.
The Challenge: a lack of labels collaboration
Before working with Husky, Teacher’s Balm was running into two major frustrations: Limited support with artwork: Jessica already had plenty to manage fulfilling orders. Preparing and refining artwork to be print-ready wasn’t something she could realistically take on without help. Slow communication: For a small business, time and cash flow are tightly connected. With other suppliers relying heavily on automated systems, it often took too long to reach a real person—delays Jessica couldn’t afford. She needed a collaborative partner, not a vendor focused only on processing orders.
The Husky Approach: to solve your labels needs
From day one, Taylor, a Husky Labels expert stepped in as a true partner: Artwork support and brand feedback: Taylor helped edit the label artwork for print and provided thoughtful feedback on the existing design—recommending adjustments that made key elements more noticeable and the brand more memorable. Consistent communication and hands-on collaboration: Taylor stayed closely involved throughout the process, providing updates on artwork, production, and delivery. She remained easy to reach and never more than a phone call away—an essential advantage in a fast-moving small business environment. Production speed that matched the business need: Jessica needed labels on a tight timeline, and Husky delivered. We understand that many small businesses operate on short lead times, and our production process and shipping standards are built to meet those demands.
Product Impact: Shelf Presence + Premium Label
These labels play a key role in helping Teacher’s Balm stand out. With Taylor’s guidance, Jessica selected premium enhancements that elevated the product’s shelf presence: Gold foil + Embossing + Premium paper Together, these choices enhanced the brand experience and communicated quality before a customer even picked up the product—positioning Teacher’s Balm as a best-in-class option for man’s best friend.
Business Growth & The Result: bringing your label to life
Teacher’s Balm has successfully launched their ecommerce platform with a label coming to life with the premium look Jessica envisioned from the start. What began as a standard business relationship also became something stronger.
Teacher’s Balm found a true partner in Husky Labels—someone who answered the phone, collaborated on design in real time, and delivered a premium label experience they feel great about, constantly striving for Customer satisfaction.
