Choose by application

The short answer.

01

Waterproof BOPP

Best all-around choice for bottles, cans, food packaging, shipping, windows and outdoor stickers.

Choose when:Water, refrigeration or abrasion is expected.
02

Clear film

A transparent face lets the package or surface show through while printed color stays sharp.

Choose when:You want a no-label look on glass or clear packaging.
03

Paper labels

A tactile, economical option for dry indoor packaging and short-life applications.

Choose when:The product stays dry and a natural paper feel matters.
04

Specialty review

Freezers, textured plastics, removable applications and unusual surfaces deserve a quick conversation.

Choose when:Heat, cold, oils, texture or removability changes the job.

Before you commit

Surface beats theory.

Adhesive performance depends on the actual surface, application temperature and how the package is handled. Clean, dry and smooth surfaces give the most reliable bond.

  1. 01 Tell us the surface material.
  2. 02 Tell us about water, cold, heat or oils.
  3. 03 Request guidance or a sample when the application is unusual.

Finish is the final decision

Gloss for punch. Matte for restraint.

Gloss

Higher shine, stronger perceived contrast and easy wipe-down performance.

Matte

Lower glare, softer color character and a refined hand-feel.
