Matte Labels offer a pearlescent, modern look with an anti-glare finish that enhances branding with an elegant touch. These water- and oil-resistant labels are perfect for luxury packaging, organic products, and minimalist designs. Available on rolls for easy application, the option of Paper or PET Backing makes them compatible for 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.
