Question 3

Can bottle labels be used on glass and plastic bottles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bottle labels can be applied to both glass and plastic bottles. For best results, apply your labels to a clean, dry surface.

Question 4

What backing should I choose for my bottle labels?

Accepted Answer

The backing is the liner your labels sit on before application, and because all bottle labels are finished on rolls, the right backing depends on how you plan to apply them.

Applying labels by hand? Choose Paper Backing.
Using a labeling machine? Choose PET Backing, available for Glossy and Matte White BOPP Laminated Labels only.

Question 5

What’s the difference between Glossy, Matte, Clear, and Holographic Labels?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is the label material and finish, which changes how your packaging looks and performs.

Glossy Labels are made from white BOPP polypropylene with a shiny laminated finish that makes colors look bold and vibrant. Best for food, beverage, cosmetics, and retail packaging.
Matte Labels are made from white BOPP polypropylene with a smooth, low-glare laminate. They create a softer premium look that works well for wellness, luxury, and minimalist brands.
Clear Labels are made from transparent polypropylene film so your packaging shows through the label. Popular for glass jars, bottles, candles, and products that need a clean “no-label” look.
Holographic Labels are made from holographic polyester material that reflects rainbow-like color in the light. Great for eye-catching packaging, promotional products, and limited-edition designs.

All label types are finished on rolls with permanent adhesive and are available in glossy or matte laminate options.
