The choice of material for your labels or stickers is both an aesthetic and a practical decision. You need to keep in mind what you are planning on using the labels or stickers for! Our most common recommendations for label or sticker materials for various types of products are set out in our customer knowledge base so be sure to have a look for advice from our experts! These are our materials:
Paper – paper labels are the most cost-effective option available and you don’t have to compromise on quality. As standard our paper labels have a subtle gloss finish which resists smudging and scuffing. You can upgrade by adding one of our special finishes to the standard paper labels for greater durability or to achieve the desired appearance for your brand.
Polypropylene vinyl – We frequently recommend polypropylene labels as this material is particularly durable. As standard polypropylene labels have a semi-gloss finish and this material is resistant to moisture, grease, chemicals and rough handling.
Cream Paper – Opting for cream paper instead of standard white can add a touch of elegance to your brand. Our cream paper comes in quite a subtle, muted tone which allows a good contrast with dark text or imagery.
Lined ivory – Our lined ivory paper labels have a subtle line running through the material horizontally which create a more textured look. The combination of the colour and visual appeal of the texture results in a more sophisticated look.
Textured ivory – Our textured ivory labels have subtle lines running through the material both horizontally and vertically to create a heavily textured luxurious feel which is ideal for upmarket products.
Transparent Polypropylene – Our polypropylene labels are available in transparent form which can make for an interesting contrast with the wording or design on the product. Customer’s should be conscious of the background this will be set against once adhered to the final product though when choosing the colours for their print design –
Pearl – Our pearl labels have a iridescent sheen finish which is very captivating and ideal for creating a luxury vibe for your brand.
Uncoated Paper – Our uncoated paper labels or stickers have a more natural soft finish.
Linen Paper – Our linen paper labels provide a unique textured base for luxury product packaging.
Kraft Paper – Our kraft paper is another eco-friendly option which may prove slightly more durable to wear and tear in high traffic areas with its darker tone compared with our white paper labels.
Gold or Silver Paper – Our gold paper is another stylish high-end choice for your label or sticker material
Metallic Colours – Our labels or stickers are available in many metallic colours in either paper or polypropylene. Consult with a member or our team for more information on this bespoke material solution.
Compostable – Our compostable labels are completely biodegradable and have an uncoated matte finish. These labels use vegan compostable certified inks and are perfect for an eco-conscious brand.
Vinyl – This material is used only in our large window, floor and car graphics.
