Question
What paper stocks can I choose for jar labels?
Answer
Jar labels can be printed on many stocks, and the right one depends on what the jar holds and where it lives. Food jars, cosmetics, and bath products each place different demands on the material, especially around moisture and oils.
| Stock | Strength | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Glossy | Vivid color | Retail shelf products |
| Matte | Soft, modern look | Minimalist branding |
| Kraft | Natural texture | Artisan goods |
| Clear film | See-through | Cosmetics where product shows |
| Waterproof BOPP | Resists moisture and oils | Food jars and bath products |
For jars that face humidity or oily contents, a waterproof BOPP film holds up far better than a plain paper stock.
