            Application

            Food label materials are diverse, ranging from cost-effective paper to durable, waterproof plastics. Common choices include coated or uncoated paper, various vinyl and plastic options, and even specialty materials like greaseproof paper or metallic materials for a premium look. The best material depends on factors like the intended application, durability needs, and aesthetic preferences. 

             

            Suitable For

            Tyre label materials are specially engineered to meet the distinct challenges posed by rubber surfaces, usually crafted from materials such as polypropylene film or a blend of paper and aluminum foil.

            Label Materials

            Paper is the most cost-effective label stock but offers limited durability. To enhance its resistance to environmental factors, it is advisable to apply a coating such as varnish or laminate. Depending on the printing method and type of paper, labels can resist smudging, moisture, and UV exposure, and can vary in texture and finish from smooth to rough or shiny to matte.

            Pet (polyester) film – PET film is a highly durable polyester material ideal for labels exposed to harsh conditions. Although more expensive than paper, it offers complete recyclability, excellent flexibility, and strong resistance to environmental factors. PET is often chosen for labels that require a longer shelf life.

            Vinyl is a very durable material, resistant to hot and cold weather, UV, chemicals, oils, moisture, etc. It is flexible and good for irregular-shaped packages. However, the process of disposing of vinyl materials is very expensive.

            PVC is a vinyl material known for its versatility, durability, and flexibility. It is particularly suitable for shrink sleeve labels, which are applied over products and heated to shrink into place on the packaging.

            PolypropyleneIf printed and coated in a certain way, polypropylene labels can be as durable as vinyl or polyester ones, and resistant to most environmental factors (all except heat). Polypropylene is less costly than polyester.

            Most of these materials can easily be die-cut into a shape of your choice.

            Finishes

            The post-printing process is equally important in label production. It involves adding different types of finishes to the label to make it more durable, shelf-stable or visually appealing. 

            Lamination – adding a protective gloss or matte layer to your label for added resistance to moisture, light, abrasion, etc.

            Varnish – clear liquid coating, less expensive than lamination, but provides less protection

            Foil stamping – way of printing using different tools, where a thin layer of color is pressed upon the label surface

            Embossing – method of creating a raised or relief image on the label’s surface

            These methods can be combined to give your label a sophisticated, rich look.
