Glossy Labels are custom-printed labels with a high-shine finish that enhances color vibrancy and provides a professional look to your products. Made from durable, water- and oil-resistant materials, they're perfect for food, beverage, and cosmetic packaging. These labels are finished on rolls, with the option of Paper or PET Backing, making them compatible with both hand and machine application. All label products require a minimum quantity of 125 per design, and each individual artwork or color change must be placed as its own individual item in your cart.
