The two main materials in label printing are paper and polypropylene, with paper being cheaper and more eco-friendly.
The natural texture of paper also gives a more rustic or artisanal effect that is sometimes preferred with certain brands and label styles.
You can choose from a gloss or matt finish, and even textured which provides a craft paper feel. Note that if you’re looking for a more natural paper finish, then matt is the way to go.
How we’ll print your paper labels
Whichever option you choose, we’ll print your labels using our industry-leading Indigo digital presses. This technology provides the precision needed for superb detail along with optimal ink saturation of the paper for bold and vibrant colours.
We’ll then trim your labels to size and supply them on rolls, sheets, or individually cut – whichever you choose during checkout.
Making the artwork part easy
You can upload your own design and we’ll manually check it for free to make sure it prints perfectly before it hits the press. Alternatively we can even create a bespoke design for your personalised paper labels if you don’t have your own yet.
