Plastic labels and their uses
Plastic labels offer the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality, making them a popular choice across a wide range of industries. In the food sector, food labels not only add a distinctive touch to packaging but also provide excellent resistance to water, oils, and solvents. This same durability benefits cosmetic labels, which rely on plastic’s flexibility to adhere seamlessly to both curved and flat surfaces. In the supplement industry, plastic labels ensure clarity of information and long-lasting performance. Even in industrial applications, plastic labels stand out for their resilience in demanding environments. They can be produced on rolls or sheets and are also ideal for creating custom stickers.
Polypropylene (PP) Labels
Polypropylene (PP) is a preferred for plastic labels for its strength, withstanding extreme conditions. There are different versions of polypropylene used in labels: ranging from opaque white to glossy white, through transparent and metallic. It is possible to select the most suitable aesthetic appearance for each product and can be equipped with different types of adhesive, either permanent or removable, offering multiple solutions to your needs. Polypropylene labels are often used for food packaging, beauty products, and many other applications where durability and strength are critical.
Polyethylene (PE) Labels
Polyethylene (PE) offers a flexible alternative in the field of plastic labels. This material is suitable for containers that require some elasticity, such as tubes or bottles. The flexibility of PE labels makes them perfect for applications that require a precise and secure fit to the product surface.
Protective lamination
Another distinctive aspect of plastic labels concerns the possibility of applying a protective lamination. This additional layer not only increases the durability of self-adhesive labels, protecting them from abrasion, scratches and external agents, but provides an aesthetic opportunity. Depending on the choice of lamination, it is possible to give the label a particularly matte, almost satin-like appearance that lends a touch of elegance and sophistication. Similarly, for those who want a bright, eye-catching effect, there is a lamination that makes the label extremely glossy. This makes plastic labels an ideal solution for those who want a product that is both functional and attractive.
