PET Backing is available as an optional liner for select StickerGiant labels. If you use an automated label applicator or need a stronger, more stable liner for high-speed production, you can easily add PET Backing when ordering Glossy Labels or Matte Labels. Simply customize your labels, then select PET Backing from the dropdown before adding your order to your cart.

PET Backing is a popular choice for businesses in the food and beverage, craft brewing, beauty, wellness, and consumer packaged goods industries because it provides excellent stability during machine application.

How to Order PET Backing

Adding PET Backing to your label order only takes a few steps.

Why Choose PET Backing?

PET Backing offers several advantages for businesses using automated labeling equipment.

Benefits include:

  • Increased liner strength for high-speed applications
  • Greater dimensional stability than standard paper liners
  • Smooth, consistent feeding through many labeling machines
  • Excellent choice for production environments that demand reliability

If your labels are being applied by hand, standard backing is typically the best option. If you're applying labels with an automated applicator, PET Backing can help improve efficiency and reduce downtime.

We're always expanding our product offerings, so if you're interested in PET Backing for another label material, we'd love to hear from you.
