Materials
When moisture, chemicals, extreme temperatures or repeated flexing rule out paper, PP and PE film labels hold their look and adhesion where paper would fail.
PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) are synthetic plastic films that resist water, oils, chemicals and abrasion far better than paper, while flexing to conform to curved or squeezable packaging. Available in white, clear or metallic finishes.
Resists moisture, chemicals, abrasion and extreme temperatures far better than paper.
Flexible enough to stretch and wrap cleanly around curved or squeezable containers.
Stays intact and legible in wet, chilled or humid environments where paper would fail.
Built for industrial, chemical, food and outdoor applications that need labels to last.
