How can I make text appear darker on my labels?

If label text looks lighter than you expected, the issue is usually the amount of ink the design lays down and how the stock absorbs it. Heavier type and a stable, coated material both help the text read darker and stay crisp over time.

• Use a bolder weight: a heavier font weight lays down more ink and reads darker and more solid.
• Build a rich black: for solid black text, use a proper black build rather than a thin single-channel black.
• Pick a durable stock: white BOPP roll labels with lamination hold sharp text well and resist smearing.
• Add lamination: a matte or gloss laminate protects the ink and keeps text from rubbing off.

Check the roll-label material options to choose a stock, and request a sample if you want to confirm how the text will look.
