Materials that earn their place.

Carrco uses BOPP face film for custom-print orders. The surface, environment, adhesive and finish still determine the correct finished construction.

Waterproof BOPP face film

Carrco custom stickers and product labels use BOPP face film. The face material is waterproof; finished performance also depends on the adhesive, print and finish system, surface, application and exposure.

  • BOPP film face
  • Gloss or matte finish choices
  • Custom-cut shapes and sizes
  • Human-reviewed digital proof

Before you commit

Surface beats theory.

Adhesive performance depends on the exact construction, surface, application conditions and use. Clean, dry and smooth surfaces are the starting point, not a universal performance guarantee.

  1. 01 Tell us the surface material.
  2. 02 Tell us about water, sun, cold, heat, washing or chemicals.
  3. 03 Request construction guidance or a sample for demanding applications.

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.
