Question

What is the difference between white gloss and white BOPP labels?

Answer

The core difference is the material: White Gloss labels are paper-faced, while White BOPP labels are made of plastic film. That single distinction drives how durable and moisture-resistant each one is.

  • White Gloss (paper): a smooth, glossy paper face that prints beautifully and suits indoor use, boxes and short-term packaging.
  • White BOPP (plastic): a durable, water-resistant plastic film that handles moisture, refrigeration, oils and outdoor exposure.
