Label Material Types & Performance Applications
These industry-grade substrates cover common packaging environments across beverages, cosmetics, food, supplements, retail, logistics, and promotional use.
-
White BOPP Film — Waterproof and condensation-resistant for beverages and refrigerated storage.
-
Clear BOPP Film — Premium transparency supporting a clean “no-label look.”
-
PET Film — Heat-resistant and dimensionally stable for pharmaceutical and industrial labeling.
-
Vinyl Film — Flexible and durable for outdoor and textured surface use.
-
Textured Paper — Premium tactile feel for enhanced presentation.
-
FSC® Recycled Eco Paper — Sustainable option for responsible brands.
-
Freezer-Grade & High-Tack Adhesives — Designed for cold storage and frequent handling.
👉 For bottle and moisture-exposed applications, material considerations continue in the bottle-specific context.
Beverage & Refrigerated Packaging
White BOPP or PET with freezer-grade adhesive prevents whitening, peeling, or distortion under condensation and handling.
Cosmetics & Beauty Packaging
Clear BOPP creates a clean minimal aesthetic that blends seamlessly with transparent containers and premium finishes.
Food, Sauces & Oils
Oil-proof laminations and strong adhesives maintain clarity and prevent edge lift in greasy environments.
Retail, Logistics & Industrial
Vinyl and PET resist abrasion, heat, and chemical exposure—ideal for barcodes, warnings, and asset tracking.
Material Selection by Industry & Packaging Environment
Selecting materials by application ensures optimal performance and cost efficiency.
Trusted by 6,000+ Brands — Certified Production Standards
G7® color consistency, ISO production standards, and FSC® certified materials used across packaging applications.

Selecting the right label substrate is essential for shelf impact and reliable performance through storage, refrigeration, and handling.
Different packaging environments place different demands on material durability, adhesion, and visual consistency.
Label materials are selected based on how products are packaged, used, and distributed—not on pricing or order volume alone.
Understanding these differences early helps align material choice with the intended labeling application.
