Label Material Custom Design Bopp Pe Pet Adhesive Printing Roll
Short Description:
Label Material Structure Composition：
A complete adhesive label material is composed of:
1.Face Material (BOPP / PE / PET / Paper)
2.Adhesive Layer (Permanent / Removable / Special-use adhesive)
3.Release Liner (Glassine / PET liner / Silicone coated liner)
Adhesive material labels each layer plays a critical role:
1.Face material determines print quality and durability
2.Adhesive defines bonding strength and application environment
3.Release liner ensures smooth die-cutting and automatic labeling performance
Understanding structure helps customers select the correct material for different industries.
What material is used for labels?
description2
There are more types of label material.Different roll label material depending on the application environment and requirements,and the following are common:
Paper labels: Coated paper, plain paper or thermal paper are usually used. These labels are suitable for ordinary commodities, retail, logistics and other industries. Thermal sticker paper are printed by heat induction without ink, and are often used for labels for short-term purposes such as receipts and bills.
Synthetic label material: Made of plastic materials such as Polypropylene(PP) label material , Polyethylene (PE) label material, Polyester (PET)label material , etc., they are waterproof, oil-proof, and wear-resistant, suitable for outdoor environments or labels that need to be durable for a long time.
BOPP label material : BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is a label material commonly used for packaging and bottle labels. It has a smooth surface and good water resistance, and is suitable for labels in industries such as food and cosmetics.
PVC label material : Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) labels have good tensile resistance and durability, and are often used in some special applications, such as anti-counterfeiting labels, car logos, etc.
Transparent labels: Usually transparent PET or PVC label material are used. These labels have high transparency and are often used for labels of high-end products or applications that need to be printed on the surface without affecting the vision.
Printing Compatibility Dimension：
Different materials support different printing methods:
1.BOPP / PET → Flexo, offset, gravure, UV printing
2.PE → Flexible packaging and curved surface labeling
3.Paper → Thermal, thermal transfer, offset printing
Surface treatment can be adjusted for ink adhesion and color vibrancy.
Performance Comparison Dimension：
| Material | Waterproof | Oil Resistance | Tear Resistance | Application |
| BOPP | High | High | Medium | Food & cosmetics |
| PE | High | High | Flexible | Squeezable bottles |
| PET | Very High | Very High | Strong | Industrial & outdoor |
| Paper | Low-Medium | Low | Easy Tear | Retail & short-term |
Blank Label Material Dimensional Stability：
High-quality pressure sensitive label materials maintain stable dimensions under various environmental conditions, ensuring consistent performance during printing, converting, and application.
They remain dimensionally stable under:
1.Temperature fluctuation – Prevents expansion or contraction caused by heat or cold.
2.Humidity changes – Reduces moisture absorption that may lead to curling or deformation.
3.Printing heat exposure – Maintains flatness during thermal or high-speed printing processes.
4.Storage conditions – Ensures long shelf life without warping or liner blocking.
Why it matters:
Dimensional stability prevents label curling, shrinking, edge lifting, and misalignment during automatic labeling. It ensures precise die-cutting, accurate registration, and smooth high-speed application.
Stable materials are especially important for:
1.Automatic labeling machines
2.High-speed production lines
3.Long-term storage products
4.Industrial and export packaging
Production & Quality Assurance：
1.Advanced coating production lines
2.Strict adhesive weight control
3.High-precision slitting process
4.Stable roll tension control
5.Quality inspection before shipment
Factory-direct supply ensures consistent quality and competitive pricing.
Why labels of materials are important?
Label material selection is very important, it directly affects the performance, durability, visual effect and scope of application of the label, the right white material label , not only can improve the functionality and aesthetics of the label, but also optimise the overall packaging effect, enhance the brand value.
Durability: Different barcode label material have different durability. For example, synthetic paper and BOPP material has a strong waterproof, oil and scratch-resistant performance, suitable for use in outdoor or environmentally more harsh places, while paper labels are more suitable for short-term use.
Applicable environment: the barcode label material types determines which environment it is suitable for. For example, thermal paper labels are suitable for retail receipts, tickets and other short-term labels, while synthetic paper labels are more suitable for products that need to be durable for a long period of time, such as outdoor goods or refrigerated products.
Printing results: Different material label printing also have a significant impact on printing results. Paper labels are usually suitable for traditional thermal or thermal transfer printing, while synthetic paper and white BOPP label material are more suited to printing with inks, which ensure clear label printing over a long period of time.
Appearance and visual effects: Certain label materials such as clear labels (PET, PVC) offer greater transparency and are suitable for labels that need to show off the appearance of the product or the bottle, which can enhance the high-end image of the product.
Cost and budget: The mwaterproof label material also affects the cost. Paper labels are usually cheaper, while materials such as synthetic paper and BOPP are relatively more expensive. In the case of limited budget, choosing the right material can balance the cost and effect.
Environmental Requirements: With sustainability becoming increasingly important, choosing sustainable label materials (such as BPA-free thermal paper or recyclable synthetic materials) is important for brand image and meeting environmental regulations.
