Label Options from Imperium Grading
Customise your slab from our range of label options.
At Imperium Grading, we believe the slab should complement the card inside. Every label option has been designed with display, collectability and authenticity in mind, giving collectors the freedom to choose a style that matches their collection.
Whether you prefer a clean professional finish, nostalgia-inspired designs, or full artwork extensions created by real artists, every graded card can become something uniquely yours.
Standard Imperium Label
The Standard Imperium Label is our default option and represents the core identity of Imperium Grading.
Designed with a clean, scientific layout, this label focuses on clarity and readability while keeping attention on the card itself. The structured design displays the card information, grade and subgrades on the front of the labe, in a layout built for collectors who prefer a premium but understated presentation.
Hand-Drawn Art Labels
Our Art Labels are one of the most distinctive features of Imperium Grading.
Unlike AI-generated alternatives, every artwork extension is created by real artists and designers. Each label is carefully illustrated to extend beyond the card window, creating a display-grade finish that transforms the slab into part of the artwork itself.
We believe collector pieces deserve genuine artistry, which is why we take a zero-AI approach to label creation.
Art Labels are available on many modern-era Pokémon and TTCG releases, with additional requests available through the submission process.
Art labels are an additional +£3 per card.

Built for vintage collections
Modern labels don’t always suit vintage cards.
Our Retro Label option was designed specifically to complement older eras of Pokémon and classic TTCG releases. Using styling inspired by vintage card aesthetics, these labels create a cohesive look for collectors grading older sets.
Retro labels are an additional +£3 per card.

Reserved for the very best
The Imperium 10 label is our highest recognition and is intentionally difficult to achieve.
While traditional Gem Mint standards often allow wider centering tolerances, Imperium 10 is reserved only for cards achieving perfect subgrades across every category while meeting stricter centering requirements (51/49 front, 55/45 back).
Collectors achieving this grade can opt for the exclusive holographic Imperium 10 label during submission by clicking the ‘Prefer Imperium 10’ tick box at label selection.
