This guide will help you navigate through the different types of labels we offer so you can confidently choose the best option for your needs.
Glossy Labels: Bright & Eye-Catching
Great for:
- Food and beverage packaging (bottles, jars, cans)
- Beauty and bath products like shampoos and soaps
- Products exposed to moisture or cold
Glossy Labels provide a shiny, vibrant finish that makes colors pop and grab attention. Printed on durable White BOPP material, these labels are water and oil-resistant, making them perfect for food packaging, beverages, and products. The glossy finish adds a polished, professional touch to your branding, ensuring your products stand out on the shelves.
Matte Labels: Sleek & Sophisticated
Great for:
- High-end product packaging and limited editions
- Writable labels for product details
- Food and beverage packaging
- Perfect for bulk orders where you can write in product variations, like flavors or batch numbers
Matte Labels offer a smooth, non-reflective finish that gives your products a modern, premium appearance. Like our Glossy Labels, they're printed on durable White BOPP material and are water and oil resistant. You can also write on Matte Labels with permanent markers, making them versatile for customizations like flavor labels or personalized notes.
Clear Labels: Sleek & Transparent
Great for:
- Transparent packaging (bottles, jars, and candles)
- Beauty and bath products (shampoos, soaps, skincare)

Go with a glossy finish for a super colorful, reflective effect, or choose a matte laminate for a near-metallic sheen, like the look of metallic markers.

Kraft Paper Labels: Natural & Eco-Friendly
Great for:

Glossy Paper Labels: Bright & Tearable
Great for:
- Grab & Go food packaging
- Electrical service labels
- Tamper-evident packaging
Glossy Paper Labels have a shiny finish that enhances color vibrancy, making them ideal for eye-catching branding and packaging. They’re perfect for anything that needs to be tamper-evident. Their tearable nature makes them a great option for packaging that requires a seal. While not waterproof, they’re well-suited for a wide range of products and promotions, providing a polished, professional look.
Matte Recycled Paper Labels: Sustainable & Writable
Great for:
- Eco-friendly branding
- High-end consumer goods
- Tamper-evident seals on organic products
Matte Recycled Paper Labels are made from post-consumer materials and provide a smooth, writable surface. They’re a great option for brands focused on sustainability, and they work well for organic brands, sustainable goods, and tamper-evident packaging.
Choosing the Right Finish: Glossy vs. Matte
Most of our labels are available in both glossy and matte finishes. Glossy labels offer a shiny, vibrant appearance that catches the eye, while matte labels provide a sophisticated, muted look that's perfect for high-end products. Both finishes offer protection from water and oil, but the choice ultimately depends on your brand's aesthetic. Plus, labels with a matte finish have a writable surface, making them great for adding batch numbers, pricing, or custom notes.
