Question
Is Hi-Gloss UV label material waterproof?
Answer
No, Hi-Gloss UV labels are not waterproof. The UV coating adds shine and some surface protection, but the label underneath is still paper-based, so steady moisture or submersion will damage it. Weigh your application and environment before choosing this material.
- Hi-Gloss UV is not a waterproof material
- The coating resists light scuffing, not water exposure
- Constant moisture or submersion will break it down
- For wet uses, choose a BOPP or vinyl waterproof stock instead
