Question

Can I write on the stickers and labels?

Answer

Whether you can write on a sticker or label comes down to its finish. Uncoated and matte surfaces accept pen and marker easily, while glossy and laminated coatings resist ink.

FinishWritable?
Uncoated / matteYes, pen and pencil write cleanly
Gloss / laminatedResists ink, use a permanent marker at best

If writing on the label is important, choose a matte or uncoated stock.
